  Nearly 50% of all workers in the United States have jobs they aren’t happy with. Don’t let this happen to you! If you want to find the right job, don’t rush to look through the ads in the newspaper. Instead, sit down and think about yourself. What kind of person are you? What makes you happy?

According to John Holland who studies personalities, there are six types. Nobody is just one personality type, but most people are mainly one type. For each type, there are certain jobs that might be right and others that are probably wrong.

Six Types of Personalities

★The Realistic type is practical and likes working with machines and tools.

★The Investigative（研究的） type is interested in all the new things and likes to learn, study situations, and solve problems.

★The Artistic type is imaginative and likes to express himself or herself by creating.

★The Social type is friendly and likes helping or training other people.

★The Enterprising（有进取心的） type is outgoing and likes to lead other people.

★The Conventional（传统的） type is careful and likes to follow routines and details.

Considering your personality type can help you make the right job decision. Liz was one of the people who were not sure about their jobs. She knew she wanted to do something for children, so she thought she could help children as a school counselor（顾问） or a lawyer. She took counseling and law courses—but hated them. After talking to a career counselor, she found that these jobs didn’t suit her. She is more interested in films, so she studied film and she now produces children’s TV shows—and loves it.

【1】What is the author’s advice for looking for the right job?

A.Ask your parents or friends for help or advice.

B.Think about what you can do for your family.

C.Look through the ads in the newspapers at once.

D.Think about what kind of person you are at first.

【2】If Jack is a policeman and he likes to find out what happens actually, what type of personality is he?

A.The Social type. B.The Investigative type.

C.The Enterprising type. D.The Conventional type.

Tips for Being a Smart Shopper

Supermarket is a good place for us to go shopping. But are you a smart shopper? Do you always shop in a wise way? There are 5 ways to help you to save at the supermarket.

【1】

It’s the first thing you should do at the store—and the first way to help yourself save. Unless you’re doing a week’s shopping, choose a small shopping cart（推车）. In an experiment, shoppers bought 40 percent more things when given a cart doubled the size they usually used.

【2】

When you’re buying bags of apples, don’t just buy the first bag you grab. Make sure to pick a heavy one. In a price comparison, a Consumer Reports reporter found that “3-pound” bags of apples ranged in weight from 3.06-3.36 pounds—that’s 10 percent more apples for the same price.

【3】

Stores put the most popular—and often the most costly—items at eye level. In fact, factories often pay more money for the best place in the supermarket. To find the cheaper things, look up and down to the higher and lower shelves. McCue advises managers to put store brands and big items on the bottom shelves.

【4】

People who shop with a list spend far less time in the store and also make fewer extra buys. If you are not good at remembering a paper list, keep one on your phone. You can use one of many free apps or just keep your list in your phone’s built-in Notes app.

【5】

While the smallest packages are often the worst deals, the biggest size isn’t necessarily the biggest value. The key is to look for a unit price below the item on the shelf—the price per ounce or liter or whatever. In some cases, the medium-sized package might be your winner.

A. Buy the right size when shopping.  

B. Look high and low on the shelves.

C. Consider using the shopping apps.

D. Choose the right shopping cart.

E. Compare apples to apples.

F. Make a shopping list before shopping.
