At 21, Zang Yunhe found herself standing at a crossroads after graduating from high school. Like many
young people, she was confused about her future career path. Instead of following the traditional route of going to
college, she decided to explore different jobs first.
Zang tried several part-time jobs, including setting up a street stall to braid hair. During this period, she
discovered her strengths: she was good at communicating with people and had great patience. One day, she came
across a job advertisement for an infant nurse. Intrigued, she learned about the profession and realized it matched
her strengths perfectly.
However, her decision faced doubts. Some relatives thought it was not a "decent" job for a young girl, and
her friends wondered why she didn't choose to study further. But Zang remained firm. She signed up for
professional training courses and obtained the relevant qualifications.
In August 2024, Zang started working as an infant nurse in Jinan. Her daily work included feeding the baby,
preparing nutritious food, and providing early childhood education such as listening to music and taking walks. She
took her job seriously and built a good relationship with her client's family. To her surprise, the client fully trusted
her professional ability despite her young age.
Over time, Zang gained more experience and confidence. She noticed that more young people were joining
the infant care industry, and some even expanded their work to elderly care services. "I'm glad I followed my heart
and chose this career," Zang said. "It not only allows me to use my strengths but also brings me a strong sense of
achievement." Her story shows that there are diverse paths to a fulfilling career, and following one's true calling can
lead to success.

In recent years, the rapid development of the digital economy and changing social needs have given rise to a
wave of new professions, redefining the career landscape for young people. These emerging roles are not only
meeting market demands but also providing diverse options for young people's career development.
Data from recruitment platforms reveals the growing demand for new professions. From January to October
2024, the demand for livestreaming anchors increased by 11 percent, while that for AI trainers surged by 62
percent. Notably, the need for drone pilots rose by an astonishing 177 percent. These new roles cover various
sectors, including the platform economy, digital economy, and smart manufacturing.
What are the characteristics of these new professions? Firstly, they are closely linked to technological
innovation. For example, drone application engineers need to master geographic information systems and
aerodynamics, while generative AI testers must be proficient in Python programming and neural network
principles. Secondly, they focus on meeting people's diversified needs. Professions such as child companions and
medical escorts have emerged to address the needs of childcare and elderly care.
The rise of new professions has also brought changes to young people's career concepts. Traditionally, many
young people aspired to stable jobs in government or large enterprises. However, an increasing number of young
people are now willing to explore new career paths. They value job satisfaction and personal interest more than
traditional status. Experts believe that young people's enthusiasm for new professions is worth encouraging, as it
not only helps them realize their potential but also promotes economic development.
To adapt to the emergence of new professions, young people need to continuously learn and improve their
skills. Meanwhile, society should provide better support, such as improving training systems and protecting the
rights of workers in emerging fields. With the right support and a proactive attitude, young people can thrive in
these new career opportunities.
8. What is the main factor contributing to the rise of new professions?
A. The increase in young people's educational level.
B. The development of digital economy and changing social needs.
C. The government's policy support for new industries.
D. The lack of workers in traditional professions.
9. Which of the following professions is NOT a new profession mentioned in the passage?
A. Drone pilot.
B. Livestreaming anchor.
C. Primary school teacher.
D. AI trainer.
10. What can we learn about new professions from the passage?
A. They require little professional skill.
B. They are mainly concentrated in the manufacturing industry.
C. They are closely related to technology and diversified needs.
D. They are not popular among young people.
11. The underlined word "surged" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. decreased slowly

D. fluctuated greatly
D
In today's rapidly changing world, young people are faced with an unprecedented number of career options.
However, this abundance of choices often leads to confusion and anxiety. When making career decisions, should
young people prioritize stability or follow their passion? In my opinion, young people should dare to follow their
hearts and choose careers that align with their interests and strengths.
Firstly, choosing a career based on interest can bring long-term motivation. Work is an important part of life,
and if one is forced to engage in a job they dislike, it will be difficult to maintain enthusiasm and achieve long-term
success. On the contrary, when young people pursue careers they are passionate about, they are more willing to
invest time and energy in learning and improving, which helps them stand out in their fields. For example, many
young people who have chosen emerging professions such as digital media design and drone technology have
achieved remarkable results because of their interest.
Secondly, following one's passion contributes to personal growth and self-realization. Career development is
not just about making money; it is also a process of exploring one's potential and realizing personal value. Young
people who choose careers that match their strengths can better tap into their potential and gain a sense of
achievement. This sense of achievement further boosts their confidence and promotes their overall development.
Admittedly, some new careers may seem unstable, and young people may face doubts from others. However,
stability is not absolute. With the development of society, many traditional stable jobs are also facing challenges.
What's more important is to have the ability to adapt to changes. Young people who follow their hearts and
continuously improve their skills can better cope with the uncertainties of the job market.
In conclusion, young people should not be confined by traditional concepts when making career choices.
They should bravely follow their hearts, choose careers that align with their interests and strengths, and strive to
realize their dreams. This not only benefits their personal development but also brings new vitality to society.
12. What is the author's attitude towards young people choosing careers based on interest?
A. Critical.
B. Supportive.
C. Doubtful.
D. Neutral.
13. Why does the author think choosing a career based on interest is beneficial?
A. It can guarantee high income.
B. It can bring long-term motivation.
C. It can avoid challenges in the workplace.
D. It can make people popular among colleagues.
14. What does the author say about stability in careers?
A. Stability is the most important factor for young people.
B. New careers are always more stable than traditional ones.
C. Stability is not absolute and can change with society.
D. Young people should only choose stable jobs.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The importance of stability in career choices.
B. The challenges young people face in career decisions.
C. The need for young people to improve their adaptability.
D. Young people should choose careers based on interest and strengths.
