Doing What You Love

What do you want to be when you grow up? 1. When asked the question, did you have an answer at the ready, or did you need a few minutes to think about it? We all have dreams of becoming something great, like a fireman, a teacher, or a rock star. Well, how did you do? Maybe you never desire to be what you set out to be or said that you would become. 2.

The older we get, our tastes change, our view of the world changes, even our goals change.

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned during my career path is to do something you love to do. I feel that if you enjoy what you make a living at, you end up being happy in more ways than one. 3.

While no job or business is perfect, the important thing is to enjoy it, even learn from it. If you are unhappy in your current situation, why not take steps now to change it? 4. If you are already there, I applaud you. If not , realize that it may take some time to figure out what you really want to do, and even more time to actually get there. That’s all right! I can tell you from experience that finding and doing what you love are absolutely worth it. All of the research, training, and hands-on experience have made me a stronger, happier person.

5. You’ll be happier for it.Trust me. I promise you will never look back.

A. But then again, things change.

B. Do what you love and love what you do.

C. Life itself becomes much more interesting and fun.

D. You must have met with such situation as a little child.

E. Maybe you will find that the new job is more suitable for you.

F. Somewhere out there is a job or business that is perfect for you.

G. I’m sure you were asked this question at least once when you were a youngster.

“When I grow up， I want to be...”

Almost all of us have thought about，or been asked to think about，our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your aspirations(志向，抱负)may have changed from when you were in primary school.

However，it seems that career choices aren't only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens， doctors，lawyers，and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is similar to a survey carried out in the UK in May 2016 by job website—Co.uk，in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17.

Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are much­respected members of society，and they make good money. What's more， these professions are often seen as a sign of upward social class.

It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators(标志) of a successful career.

However，not every child has the makings of doctor， lawyer， or banker. They are those who see achievement and happiness in other areas. As the Teens' survey discovered，a variety of unconventional(非传统的) jobs—coffee shop owner，waiter at a fast food restaurant—are among teenagers' career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.

With every choice comes responsibility and challenge，and all career paths require specific education and training，you have to learn to balance optimism(乐观主义)and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.

1. What is the passage mainly about？

A. Careers in teenagers' mind.

B. Choosing a good job is very important.

C. Teenagers in the UK like doctors.

D. The choice of career needs challenge.

2.What is the top career choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17 according to the article？

A. Medicine. B. Law.　 　 C. Bank.　 　 D. Education.

3. All of the following are the benefits of being a doctor or a lawyer except 　　 .

A. respect from others

B. the oldest profession

C. high pay

D. upward social class

4. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs？

A. Careers such as waiters are not as rewarding as doctors and lawyers.

B. Specific education and training can help get a good job.

C. Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.

D. Optimism and confidence is more important than being realistic when choosing careers.

Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind. People always seemed to feel comfortable in her presence. For years, she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramic(陶艺)class.

On one summer day, Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car. I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? I imagined the cool lake water. Irritated, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. We sat in silence. I was too upset to make conversation.

“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?” Mama asked calmly.

“No,” I said.

“We are going to volunteer at a children’s shelter today. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you.” she explained.

When we reached the shelter, Mama rang the doorbell. Moments later, we were greeted by a woman. She led us to the front room where all of the children were playing. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with iron marks. I was told it was because she wouldn’t stop crying. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars. Others hid their emotional wounds.

As I took in my surroundings, I felt a gentle tug on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl looking up at me. “Hi! You want to play dolls with me?” she asked. I looked over at Mama for reinforcement. She smiled and nodded. I turned back and said, “Sure.” Her tiny hand reached up and held mine, as if to comfort me.

My mom taught me a valuable lesson that summer. I returned to the shelter with her several times. During those visits, some of the children shared their troubled pasts with me and I learned to be grateful for what I had. Today as I convey these values to my own child, I reflect back to that experience. It was a time that I will never forget.

1.What do you think made the writer admire her mother?

A. Her kindness to others.　　 B. Her excellent teaching.

C. Her quality of honesty.　　 D. Her positive attitude to life.

2.According to Paragraph 2, how did the author feel when she was asked to go out with her mom?

A. Excited.　　 B. Angry.　　 C. Surprised.　　 D. Worried.

3.From the passage, what can we learn about the children in the shelter?

A. They were never punished.

B. They weren’t allowed to go outside.

C. They were once treated badly.

D. They all suffered from mental illness.

4.Which word is closest to the meaning of the underlined word “reinforcement” ?

A. Truth.　　 B. Help.　　 C. Comfort.　　 D. Support.

5.What lesson did the author learn from her experience?

A. To value what you have.　　 B. To play with children is fun.

高一英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an icecream taster?

Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste icecream. Just ask John Harrison, an "Official Taste Tester" for the past few years. Testing helps manufacturers (制造商) to be sure of a product's quality. During his career, Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet icecream——as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道). Some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have to like icecream, right? No, there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or foodscience degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this "cool" field.

In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 icecream samples. He lets the icecream warm up to about 12℃. Harrison explains, "You get more flavor from warmer icecream, which is why some kids like to stir（搅拌）it, creating icecream soup."

While the icecream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. "Tasting begins with the eyes," he explains. He checks to see if the icecream is attractive and asks himself, "Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?" Next it's time to taste!

Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of icecream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy-working "cool".

1.What is John Harrison? (No more than 4 words)

___________________________________________________________

2.According to John Harrison, If you want a career in this “cool field”, it is helpful to ____________? (No more than 6 words)

___________________________________________________________

3.What does John Harrison do first when testing ice cream? (No more than 8 words)

___________________________________________________________

4.Why do some kids like to stir ice cream? (No more than 10 words)
