Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living . Some stay long at a job and learn to like it ，others quite from one to another looking for something to suit them, the young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope(摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them, Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment, It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.

In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest .Noting is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人)and a bitter person.

答案及解析：

1. B。答案可以在最后一段找到："Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents."因此有些人事业不成功的原因是选择了不合适的工作。因此B 是正确答案。

2. D。答案在第1段的中间有一句话："the reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been proper vocational guidance in our educational institution." 造成这种状况的原因是我们的教育机构没有给学生们进行适当的职业指导。因此D 为正确答案。

3. A。答案在第二段第1句话。"In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. "选择职业的时候首先要考虑的是这个工作你是否有兴趣。"因此A 正确答案。

4. D。文章的第1段谈到："年轻人找工作时候的随意性， 因为他们没有经过任何的培训。" 第二段谈到："选择职业的时候首先考虑的是自己是否有兴趣。"因此文章的标题应当是："如何选择工作"因此D为正确答案。

5. B。miserable: 痛苦的。splendid: 辉煌的。disgusted: 厌恶的。touching: 接触的。因此只有B 最符合题意。
