　　How could you make your dream come true? Begin doing the work you love as soon as possible even if you don’t get paid for it or if you can only work at it part-time．Albert Einstein was unable to get a job as a physics professor．He could have said to himself “Well I just don’t have the work relative to physics．I should give up on it and settle for(甘心于)something else．” Instead he wrote the two most famous papers while working in a patent office(专利局)．After their publication there was not a major university in the world that would not have been glad to hire him．

　　If you want to work as an artist while you are making a living as a waiter think of yourself as an artist supporting yourself by working in a restaurant－and paint or draw as much as you can．It is possible to earn your living as a waiter working 24 hours a week．That leaves plenty of time to devote to training or developing your drawing in the off hours．

　　While seeking the work you love you shouldn’t be limited to the ideas of what you should do or what you have done before．Having considered all possibilities you can make a final decision and select the work you love as your own．

　　Doing the work you love requires that you be equally comfortable with the imaginative and the practical．It requires the ability to dream big dreams and the ability to face and master all the little details that make dreams come true．

Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．C;3．C;4．D;
解析：
(1) 由第一段第二句可知。 (2) 由他在专利局工作时写的两篇著名论文可知A项不符合文意，同时又可由此推断C项正确；爱因斯坦是在未能得到物理学教授职位的情况下在专利局工作的，因此B项错误；D项也不正确，因为实际上他没有等待。 (3) 由全文可知，要想成为歌手就应不断发展自己的歌唱技术。A、D两项是谋生以求发展的手段；B项指没有选定目标时，要多考虑各方面的可能性。 (4) 由此段首句中的“…be equally comfortable…”可知C项与文意相符。而此句言外之意即肯定了the imaginative和the practical的差异，即A项正确。B项是此段第二句所说的能力。
