Read the text carefully and choose the correct answer, questions from 25 to 28:
	Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care. View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living. 
 	Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel? Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work?” There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you. Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank them in order of importance to you.
	 The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all day. If not, there are diverse occupations – building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields in concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities. On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country.
 If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission. 
 Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive or negative associations.
Question 25: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to_______________ .
A. questions	B. features	C. answers	D. jobs
Question 26: The author states in paragraph 2 “there are no right or wrong answers” in order to _______________ .
A. indicate that the answers are not really very important
B. showing that answering the questions is a long and difficult process
C. emphasize that each person’s answers will be different
D. indicate that each person’s answers may change over time.
Question 27: According to paragraph 3, which of the following fields is not suitable for a person who does not want to live in a big city?
A. advertising	B. retail sales	C. plumbing	D. law
Question 28: It can be inferred from paragraph 4 that_________________ .
A. jobs in insurance sales are generally not well paid
B. insurance salespeople can earn high salaries later in their careers
C. a starting salary should be an important consideration in choosing a career.
D. People should constantly work toward the next promotion
