Do you like being around people who share the same respect and love for natural resources? If you say "yes", then a fisheries biologist is a great career choice for you.As you can probably guess, education is very important. A Bachelor of Science degree in fisheries or biology is strongly recommended. Many biologists have a Master's degree. But it's not only good education that prepares you for a career as a fisheries biologist —field experience is also important. Volunteer work, internships (实习) and short-term fish technician positions are good ways to gain valuable training that can give you an edge in the competitive job market.In addition to good education and field experience, a fisheries biologist needs other skills. You'll spend a lot of time working with the public, so it's important to feel comfortable talking to a variety of people. Good communication, listening, and presentation (陈述) skills are a must.A common misconception among many people is that fisheries biologists get to fish all the time. Most biologists wish that were true. But as a fisheries biologist, you are especially busy during the fishing season, which leaves little time for you to actually go fishing. It's sad, but true.Each day brings something different in the life of a fisheries biologist. In the spring and fall, you spend a lot of time on the water shocking fish in order to sample the population, studying fish, and talking with people. The winter is spent analyzing (分析) fish data and communicating with the public.So if you find fish interesting and fun to leam about, and like working both outside and inside, consider a career as a fisheries biologist. You'II never be bored!36. We can infer this passage was written to __________.A. advise us to respect and protect wildlifeB. encourage us to spend more time working outsideC. explain why education is important for our careerD. introduce a good career to those who are interested in wildlife37.

You should have rich knowledge of biology.C. You should havc ricld experience.D. You should be a good swimmer.39.

One day, he came to visit a saint and wanted to be his student. The saint provided some tea. He slowly filled the scholar's cup: the cup was full. yet he kept pouring and pouring. The scholar burst out, "Stop! You can't add anything to something that's already full!" The saint set down the teapot and replied, 'Exactly."Whether it's the silence between notes in music, or some open time in your schedule, you need space to act effectively. Yet most of us, myself included, tend to stuff as much as possible into whatever room is available —closets, schedules, budgets, relationships, and even the mind itself.However, some people know how to avoid overstuffing their life. For example, in Australia, it seemed that most people there operated at about 85% of their capacity(能力), unlike Americans pushing as close to l00% as possible. So when you run into Australians you know in the street, they have time to hang out and talk with you.Remember the cup: its value is in the space, the emptiness it holds. How to empty you "cup"?Be mindful of the element of space, openness, and emptiness in your life. This includes room in a drawer, the volume of air in a kitchen, and open-mindedness in a friend. Sometimes you're just stuck with a big bucket of tasks yet to do. But at least empty the bucket faster than you fill it with new tasks. Put some spacc between finishing one thing and starting another. For example, after sending one email, take a breath before replying to another one. Drop the stuff you can no longer afford to lug around. At sea level, you can run with a brick in your backpack, but if you're hiking on a mountain, that brick has got to go.41.
