PLANNING A CAREER FOR THE NEW ECONOMY
In the last few decades, the world of work has dramatically changed how people earn their living and plan their work lives This new labour market is evolving at accelerating speed as old industrial-age jobs are replaced by knowledge-based work and information technology continues
to alter how we work, play and learn This dramatic change in how goods and services are produced and distributed has been labelled the “New Economy.” The old economy was based on resources; the New Economy is based on knowledge and is driven by technology and information
Working in new ways: In this New Economy, new forms of work are being created, as
employment in a “job-for-life” is replaced by a variety of “work alternatives.” These work alternatives can include working part time, contracting, consulting or owning a business where you hire your own employees
In British Columbia, more and more people are working in this way, and economists are predicting that this trend will continue in the future Career counsellors are encouraging people to prepare for these work alternatives rather than for just a full-time job
New thinking for a new millennium: The New Economy demands that we change our
thinking about the labour market Traditional job patterns that we took for granted for most of the last century have disappeared Letting go of the way things used to be in the world of work is one
of the hardest challenges that career planners face today Here are some trends that all workers will have to adapt to:
Change: Rapid change will be constant in the workplace of the new millennium Those who
understand change and can manage it effectively will be more successful
Just-in-time training: In the information economy, it is impossible to learn everything you
need to know ahead of time to do a job Rapid learning will be commonplace The advantage will
go to those who can learn – and instruct – the fastest Workers must commit to continuous
learning throughout their life/ work
Fusion: Job classifications and occupational titles will become less important The jobs of
Trang 3architect, accountant-sales rep, or graphic designer-webmaster Being able to combine a variety of skills to apply to a particular task will be increasingly important
Self-reliance: Work is becoming more “entrepreneurial” in the sense that workers have to
be prepared for a variety of work alternatives and take the initiative to market their skills more creatively As a result, people will need to be more responsible for their own career development The notion of “career self-management” is emerging as a means not only of surviving in the New Economy, but also of thriving and making the best of its new opportunities
Emphasis on skills: Workers can no longer expect long-term job security, but they can rely
on “skills security” If workers keep their skills up-to-date and market them effectively in areas of the economy that are growing, they will be able to find work An essential ingredient of career self-management is knowing and developing skill sets and then finding areas of work where they can
be applied
Balance in life/ work: Information technology is fuelling the accelerating pace of change.
We are “plugged in” to work more than ever before through communications (e-mail, phone, fax, pagers, the Internet) To maintain their health and well-being, workers will have to rethink how and where they work and find balance between earning a living and living their lives
Finding opportunity: In this New Economy, it is beneficial for people to use their creativity
to find new opportunities where they can apply their skills and abilities This means keeping an open mind about where and how you work
The New Economy is very different from the old It offers even more opportunities to find challenging, rewarding and satisfying work If you spend time and energy planning for this new reality, you will be able to create a career plan that offers excitement, anticipation and hope for the future
Question 28 What is TRUE about the New Economy according to the passage?
A It is harder to find a good job in the New Economy
B The New Economy may see the increase in the number of the businessmen
C The New Economy offers more courses on improving the life and work skills
D Technology and information is considered the basis for the development of the New Economy
Question 29 What can be inferred from the passage about the future workers?
A They can combine some jobs at the same time to earn a good living
B They may keep their mind open to welcome the new trends
C They have to plan and manage their career better
D They can get the job excitement more easily in the New Economy
Question 30 The main difference between the New Economy and the old one is _
A opportunities offered B high living standard C skill security D careers chosen
Question 31 Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?
A A discussion about the job trends
B An analysis of requirements for the New Economy’s workers
C A criticism of the Old Economy
D A description of the New Economy
Question 32 What can be inferred from the Old Economy according to the passage?

D It has seen an increase in the number of intellectuals

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
Trang 4The most desert animals will drink water if confronted with it, for many of them the
opportunity never comes Yet all living things must have water, or they will expire The herbivores find it in desert plants The carnivores slake their thirst with the flesh and blood of living prey One
of the most remarkable adjustments, however, has been made by the tiny kangaroo rat, who not only lives without drinking but subsists on a diet of dry seeds containing about 5% free water Like other animals, he has the ability to manufacture water in his body by a metabolic conversion of
carbohydrates But he is notable for the parsimony with which he conserves his small supply by
every possible means, expending only minuscule amounts in his excreta and through evaporation from his respiratory tract
Investigation into how the kangaroo rat can live without drinking water has involved various experiments with these small animals Could kangaroo rats somehow store water in their bodies and slowly utilize these resources in the long periods when no free water is available from dew or rain? The simplest way to settle this question was to determine the total water content in the animals to see if it decreases as they are kept for long periods on a dry diet If they slowly use
up their water, the body should become increasingly dehydrated, and if they begin with a store of water, this should be evident from an initial high water content Results of such experiments with kangaroo rats on dry diets for more than 7 weeks showed that the rats maintained their body weight There was no trend toward a decrease in water content during the long period of water
deprivation When the kangaroo rats were given free access to water, they did not drink water.
They did nibble on small pieces of watermelon, but this did not change appreciably the water content in their bodies, which remained at 66.3 to 67.2 during this period This is very close to the water content of dry-fed animals (66.5), and the availability of free water, therefore, did not lead to any "storage" that could be meaningful as a water reserve This makes 35 it reasonable to conclude that physiological storage of water is not a factor in the kangaroo rat's ability to live on dry food Question 35 What is the topic of this passage?
Question 36 The word "expire" in line 2 is closest in meaning to _.
Question 37 Which of the following is NOT a source of water for the desert animals?
A Desert plants B Metabolic conversion of carbohydrates in the body
C The blood of other animals D Streams
Question 38 The word "it" in line 2 refers to _
A a living thing B the desert C the opportunity D water
Question 39 The author states that the kangaroo rat is known for all of the following EXCEPT _
A the economy with which it uses available water
B living without drinking water
C breathing slowly and infrequently
D manufacturing water internally
Question 40 It is implied by the author that desert animals can exist with little or no water because of _
A less need for water than other animals
B many opportunities for them to find water
C their ability to eat plants
D their ability to adjust to the desert environment
Question 41 According to the passage, the results of the experiments with kangaroo rats showed that _
A kangaroo rats store water for use during dry periods
B kangaroo rats took advantage of free access to water
C there was no significant change in body weight due to lack of water or accessibility
to water
D a dry diet seems detrimental to the kangaroo rat's health
