2012年大学英语四级模拟题及答案 Part I Writing(30 minutes)　本文是一篇关于择业的议论文。短文需要说明慎重择业相当重要，并提出多种指导择业的方法。　　【参考范文】　　Choosing an Occupation　　One of the most important problems a young person faces is deciding what to do. There are some people, of course, who from the time are six years old “know” that they want to be doctors or pilots or fire fighters, but the majority of us do not get around to making a decision about an occupation or career until somebody or something forces us to face the problem.　　Choosing an occupation takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do.
