Fall is a time when career regrets become stronger than during the relaxing summer months．New jobs appear on job boards，and many colleagues and friends move on to new careers or go off to graduate sch001．If you aren’t moving with them，you can become vulnerable (脆弱的) to “should have”thinking．
The“should haves”are hard to turn off. “I should have gotten that promotion” “I should have never chosen Public Relations.” These “should haves” eat at you，particularly if you are comparing your careers to the careers of others．
Thinking a lot about what you should have done is especially destructive because it carries a feeling of futility(徒劳)．Once that happens，anger and hate build up，and you quit trying．This is painfully obvious
to others—you won’t get the best assignments and honestly，people avoid those who have bad attitudes．Instead of being upset about the negative，you have to change your thinking altogether．
The right approach is to replace the“should haves’’with“what ifs”．Evelyn’s family persuaded her to go into accounting(会计)，but after five miserable years at a financial services firm she still regretted not following her passion into music．She believed it was“too late to change now”．and“I’d never be able to support myself．”
But when she started thinking about “what ifs’’ instead of “should haves”. Evelyn’s attitude changed．She asked，“What if 1 work in an environment where there are lots of musicians and music?” The “what ifs” lead her to target accounting jobs in music departments of universities or in other music organizations．While she was looking，she volunteered to help a local music school Push out its books on Quick Books．When she mentioned her interest in a career change to some people on the board of the music school，they helped her get started networking in the music world．Now she is the financial administrator of a large music festival，where she gets flee music lessons with the performers．
If career regrets attack you this tall，get a few friends together，gain a little knowledge of yourself and try asking a different question：What if? 36．Which of the following is true?
A，Many people are strongl5’influenced by“should haves”． B．Many colleagues left school because of the“should haves”． C．Workers should change their thinking to rid of bad moods． D．It’s easy to change the“should haves”thinking of workers． 37．The“should haves”can bring the effects ECEPT
A．leaving school． B．worse assignments C。bad attitudes D．a sense of uselessness 38．Evelyn’s attitude changes from ____________.
A．being discouraged to being aggressive
B．being unconfident to being positive
C．being powerless to being regretful． D．being disappointed to being optimistic 39．It can NOT be inferred from Paragraph 4&5 that ___________.
A．Evelyn became the administrator about music directly
B．Evelyn still loved music after five miserable years． C．Evelyn was happy to work as an administrator about music
D．Evelyn achieved success due to the thinking of“what ifs”
40．The main purpose of this passage is to ____________.
