问题     Tight-lipped elders used to say, "It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get." Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.
    You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served.
    Likewise, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services.
    This account of yourself is actually a sketch of your working life and should include education, experience and references. Such an account is valuable. It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. While talking to you, your could-be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications will pay him to employ you and your "wares" and abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner.
    When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell. Then you are ready to hunt for a job. Get all the possible information about your could-be job, make inquiries as to the details regarding the job and the firm. Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgement. Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Securing a job is your job now. [br] What do the elders mean when they say, "It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get" ?
选项 A、You’ll certainly get what you want.
B、It’s no use dreaming.
C、You should be dissatisfied with what you have.
D、It’s essential to set a goal for yourself.
答案 B
解析 本题中，A项“你肯定会得到你想要的东西”之意与文章第2段的意思不符；在文中没有提到C项的“你应该不满足于你所拥有的东西”之意；D项不正确，“为你自己确定一个目标很有必要”之意是本文作者提倡的观点，不是年长者说这句话的意思。从文章第1段的内容可知，出言谨慎的年长者过去常说：在这个世界上，重要的不是你想要什么，而是你能得到什么；从第2段的内容可知，心理学教育人们，如果你知道你想要什么，并且你想要的东西又合乎情理，那么你肯定会得到它。据此可知，年长者们说这句话的意思应该是：要面对现实，不要想那些不合乎情理的东西。B项中说“梦想没有用”与文章的意思相符，因此B项为正确答案。
