问题     Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice of a(n)(1)______should be made even before the choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually,(2) ______, most people make several job choices during their working lives, (3)______because of economic and industrial changes and partly to(4)______their positions.
    The " one perfect job" does not exist. Young people should(5) ______enter into a broad flexible training program that will(6)______ them for a field of work rather than for a single(7)______. Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans(8)______ benefit of help from a competent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing(9)______ about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss(10)______. Some drift from job to job. Others(11)______ to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.
    One common mistake is choosing an occupation for(12)______ real or imagined prestige. Too many high-school students—or their parents for them—choose the professional field,  (13)______ both the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal(14)______.

选项 A、develop
B、improve
C、better
D、promote
答案B
解析 动词辨析题。[B]improve侧重“提高价值而得到改进”，improve one’s position“提高某人的社会地位”，因此该项符合文意。[A]develop“发展，展开”，例如：develop light industry，该项意思与原文不符；[C]better用作动词时，表示“质方面的改进”，例如：better myself by changing jobs，故此项也与原文不符；[D]promote“促进”，例如：promote a constitutional amendment(倡议宪法修正案)；作“提升，提拔”解时，宾语应为人，因此该项也与原文不符。
