Look inward for better career advice
Sometimes
we
turn
to
others
for
advice
on
major
career
decisions.
36
Warren
Buffet's
father discouraged
him from entering the
securities(
证券）
Disney' s
brother and
wife both tried to talk him
out of making
Snow Wnite.
Why does so much career advice end up
being misguided? 37 We often listen to the wrong
sources.
I've
watched
many
students
rely
on
their
parents
and
grandparents
for
guidance,
forgetting that
they were raised in an area when it was common to
spend an entire career in one
organization.
What about
going to people who are qualified to give advice?
38 Advisers often focus too
heavily on
their personal preferences and experiences rather
than take our
perspective(
视角）。
At
some
point,you
have
probably
noticed
that
you're
wiser
when
giving
advice
to
others
than
you
are in making decisions for yourself. You're not
alone. It often happens because we have
more distance from other people's
problems than our own. 39 Sure enough,
psychologists find
that our reasoning
becomes wiser when we think about our own problems
from a third-person
perspective.
Advising
others
doesn't
just
help
us
make
better
decisions,
but
it
also
leaves
us
more
motivated
to
follow
one
experiment,
it
was
expected
people
were
more
motivated
when
receiving
than
giving
advice.
40
It
was
people
who
gave
advice
who
became
more
motivated.
If you want to
get better career advice, you can start by
reflecting on what you would tell
someone
else
with
a
similar
question.
Listen
to
the
advice
you
give
to
others.
It's
usually
the
advice you need to take it
might be the best way to motivate yourself, too.
r,sometimes we make decisions depending
on ourselves.
the opposite was true.
they may direct us in the wrong
direction.
's no guarantee that they
will know what's right for us.
it was
easier said than done.
F. The problem
may start with who we approach for advice.
lesson here is that one of the most
effective ways to get better advice is to give it.

阅读下面短文，
从短文后的选项中选
出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
选项中有两项为多
余选项。
Have you ever had someone
tell you “If you eat before bed, you are more
likely to get fat?”
36
This belief
originated when researchers found the relation
between individuals snacking
late at
night and having a BMI that categorizes them as
obese
（肥胖的）
.
Is
eating
late
at
night,
especially
after
8
pm,
really
going
to
make
you
gain
weight?
One
theory is that your
metabolism
（新陈代谢）
slows down
when you are asleep.
37
Thus the
calories you eat
right before bed would not be burned off as much
as they would be while you’re
awake.
Although the science seems pretty
sound
，
recent studies have
shown that metabolism changes
very
little, if at all, while you are asleep.
38
The heart is still beating,
lungs are still working,
and the brain
is still very active. All of these actions take
energy, meaning while we are asleep, we
are still burning calories.
39
As we know, one physiological effect of
insulin
（胰岛素）
is storing fat.
Food being
consumed late at night will
more likely be stored away due to the higher
levels of insulin present
in
the
blood
system.
However,
insulin
levels
at
night
are
shown
to
be
no
different
than
insulin
levels during mid-day. If it is true
that eating with high insulin levels causes you to
gain weight,
anyone eating anytime
after the morning will become fat.
So
how come individuals have higher BMIs when they
snack at night? It is simply a result of
eating too many calories. Snacks that
individuals tend to eat during the night are
usually high in
sugar and calories,
such as ice cream, candy, potato chips and soft
drinks. Put simply, if you eat
more
calories than you burn, regardless of the time of
the day, you will gain weight.
40
A. With a slow metabolism, few calories
are being burned.
B. While asleep, your
body still functions in many ways.
C.
All living matter undergoes a process of
metabolism.
D. The time these snacks
are consumed does not matter.
E.
Without ever questioning it, people quickly assume
this to be true.
F. Besides, insulin
levels are dramatically lower in the morning than
at night.
G
. Another theory is that
late night snacking leads to rising insulin
levels.

We
have
some
ways
to
make
it
easier
to
get
motivated
now and
then.
But
what
about
maintaining motivation over the
long-run? 36
Imagine you are playing
tennis. If you try to play a serious match against
a four-year-old,
you will quickly
become bored. The match is too easy. if you try to
play a serious match against
a
professional tennis player like Serena Williams,
you
will find yourself
losing motivation for a
different
reason. 37
Compare
these
experiences
to
playing
tennis
against
someone
who
is
your
equal.
As
the
game progresses, you win a few points
and you lose a few points. 38 Your focus narrows
and
you
find
yourself
fully
absorbed
in
the
task
at
hand.
The
challenge
you
are
facing
is
＂
just
manageable.
are the most
likely to keep us motivated in the long term.
Human
beings
love
challenges,
but
only
if
they
are
within
the
most
suitable
zone
of
difficulty. 39 Tasks that are
significantly beyond your current abilities are
tasks
that
are
right
on
the
border
of
success
and
failure
are
unbelievably
motivating
to
our
human
brains. We want nothing more than to
master a skill just beyond our current horizon.
40 The Goldilocks Rule states that
humans experience peak motivation when working on
tasks that are right on the edge of
their current abilities. Not too hard. Not too
easy. Just right.
Applying this rule,
you are sure to maintain long-term motivation.
A. The match is too difficult.
B. How can you stay motivated for good?
can you manage to carry out a task?
D. We can call this phenomenon The
Goldilocks Rule.

Goldilocks Rule to complete tasks.
