为什么我想做视频博主？1人们总是问我为什么这么努力地做视频博客。我的回答始终如一：“我想居家办公。”但说实话，我的理由远不止这些。这些年，我关注了许多视频博主，我看到了他们有趣的经历，看到了他们去往各种令人惊喜的地方旅行。这一切都是因为他们可以在家舒适地办公，有机会记录他们的各种冒险经历。TextA2

4视频博客里会出现许多猎奇食物的食谱，以及对这些食物的评价，而这些食物一般人可能都不敢尝试。我大部分尝试过的食物都是在视频博客里看过的。5许多视频非常有趣，可以在我不开心的时候让我开怀大笑一番。做视频博主让我觉得也许我也可以当一个让别人快乐的人。6我想成为视频博主的最后一个原因是，在做视频博主的过程中我能体验到快乐。我以前也做过视频博客，而且非常开心！值得尝试！TextA7

择业方向：以你想要的生活为导向，而非以热情为导向1我的家庭信奉这样一句话：“找一份你喜欢的工作，那么你每天做的就算不上是工作”。在这样的家庭长大，最终我决定从事体育新闻工作。我之所以选择这份工作，是因为我十几岁和二十出头的时候，热衷于运动和写作这两件事。2就像我的家人过去常说的那样：“你找到了你热爱的职业。”这让我觉得自己与同龄人相比的时候，自己是多么的特别和与众不同。我的同龄人，大多数都还在苦苦探寻自己所热爱的职业。★admiration/ˌædməˈreɪʃn/n.喜欢；赞赏★tremendous/trəˈmendəs/

★approach/əˈprəʊtʃ/v.着手处理；对付e.g.What’sthebestwayofapproachingthisproblem?处理这个问题的最佳方式是什么？

3在从事体育新闻这份工作几年后，我意识到，尽管我热爱体育和写作，但体育新闻工作还是有很多我不满意的地方——工资低于平均水平，晚上要加班，周末也要加班，这对我的生活方式产生了巨大的影响。

4我大学毕业之后开始工作，随后我又于2012年辞去在NBC的工作。然后我开始问自己：如果凭借自己的热爱没有找到一条好的职业道路，那么我该如何选择我的职业呢？TextB5Mostlythroughtrialanderror,itdawnedonme:Alljobs—eventheoneswhichseemthemostinteresting,fun,exciting,etc.fromtheoutsidelookingin—havetheirprosandcons.Thatis,everyjobhasglamorous14

★glamorous/ˈglæmərəs/adj.特别富有魅力的；富于刺激的；独特的e.g.Toanoutsider,itmayappeartobeaglamorousjob.

在外人看来，这似乎是一份令人向往的工作。

★aspect /ˈæspekt/

各个方面e.g.Thebookaimstocoverallaspectsofcitylife.这本书旨在涵盖城市生活的各个方面。★plentyof 大量的……e.g.Hehadplentyoftimetocatchhisplane.他有足够多的时间赶上飞机。

★eventhough 尽管；即使同义表达：evenif e.g.He’sthebestteacher,eventhoughhehastheleastexperience.他虽然经验最少，但却是最出色的老师。

5经过反复试错，我终于明白了：所有的工作——即使是那些从外表看来最有趣、最激动人心的工作，都有其利弊。也就是说，每一份工作都有光辉照人和令人痛苦的一面，有些工作只是更加吸引人而已。6这就是为什么，如果让我重写开头的那句话，我会改为：7“找一份能保证你会非常快乐，并且还能使你有时间追求快乐的职业，这样的话，即使你一生中的大部分时间都必须工作也不用害怕。”★enable/ɪˈneɪbl/

v.使成为可能；使可行；使实现★inaccurate/ɪnˈækjərət/adj.不精确的；不准确的；有错误的（accurate的反义词）★naive/naɪˈiːv/adj.幼稚的；无知的★sentiment/ˈsentɪmənt/

8换句话说：在意自己的生活品质，而不是工作热情。9也许在几十年前，这种观点是非常幼稚或不对的。但是，随着互联网的服务范围变得越来越大，提供的服务越来越好，我可以保证，你一定能找到一份值得的工作和行业，让自己的生活变得更美好。毕竟现在有大量的工作岗位和新兴行业供你选择。NewWords1.preach/priːtʃ/v.宣传；宣扬；宣讲（生活方式、体制等）2.quote/kwəʊt/n.引文；引语；语录3.pursue/pəˈsjuː/v.追求；致力于；执行；贯彻4.journalism/ˈdʒɜːnəlɪzəm/n.新闻业；新闻工作5.calling/ˈkɔːlɪŋ/n.职业；事业；使命感；强烈愿望；责任感6.identify/aɪˈdentɪfaɪ/v.找到；发现；确认；认出；识别7.namely/ˈneɪmli/adv.即；也就是8.tremendous/trəˈmendəs/adj.大量的；巨大的；极大的9.imposition/ˌɪmpəˈzɪʃn/n.不公平（或不合理）的要求10.admiration/ˌædməˈreɪʃn/n.喜欢；赞赏11.subsequently/ˈsʌbsɪkwəntli/adv.随后；后来；之后；接着12.quit/kwɪt/v.离开（工作职位、学校等）；离任NewWords13.approach/əˈprəʊtʃ/v.着手处理；对付14.glamorous/ˈglæmərəs/adj.特别富有魅力的；独特的15.soul-sucking/səʊlˈsʌkɪŋ/adj.吸食灵魂的16.liberty/ˈlɪbəti/n.自由17.maximize/ˈmæksɪmaɪz/v.使增加到最大限度；充分利用；最大限度地利用18.sentiment/ˈsentɪmənt/n.（基于情感的）观点；看法；情绪19.naive/naɪˈiːv/adj.幼稚的；无知的20.inaccurate/ɪnˈækjərət/adj.不精确的；不准确的；有错误的（accurate的反义词）21.guarantee/ˌgærənˈtiː/v.保证；担保；保障22.enable/ɪˈneɪbl/v.使成为可能；使可行；使实现23.ultimately/ˈʌltɪmətli/adv.最终；最后；终归PhrasesandExpressions1.usedtodosth.过去常常做某事2.comparetosth.与……相比3.struggletodosth.奋力做某事；尽力做某事4.trialanderror反复试验；不断摸索5.dawnon开始被理解；渐渐明白6.prosandcons事物的利与弊；支持与反对7.plentyof大量的；众多的；充足的8.focuson集中于；专注于9.acoupleof两个；几个；一对ProperNamesNBC(NationalBroadcastingCompany)（美国）全国广播公司ReadingComprehensionReadTextBanddecidewhetherthefollowingstatementsareT(true)orF(false).1.Theauthordecidedtoengageinsportsjournalismwhenhe/shewasateenager.(
