What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-Cream taster?
Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream – 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 ice cream, 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 food – science 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 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12 F. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”
While the ice cream 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 ice cream 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 ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy – working at once cool job.
41. what is John Harrison’s job?
A. An official. B. An ice-cream taster.
C. A chemist. D. An ice-cream manufacturer.
42. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to_________.
A. keep a diary of work B. have a degree in related subjects
C. have new ideas every day D. find out new flavors each day
43. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?
A. He stirs the ice cream. B. He examines the color of the ice cream.
C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream. D. He lets the ice cream warm up.
44. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
A. Tasting with Eyes B. Favors of Ice Cream
C. John Harrison’s Life D. One Cool Job

Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of absorbing(吸收). Reading should be active, not passive.
When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to “look at weak places in your armor(盔甲)”, and shows you how to fill up the blanks in your knowledge. On the other hand, it is no good just trying to fill your mind with knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to collect a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range(范围) of learning, like a silly tourist going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose, and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the qualities of the cultured(有修养的) man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.
45. The writer thinks that one must _____.
A. read as many books as he can
B. try to read books on all the different subjects
C. only read books on subjects that interest him
D. read and absorb a lot
46. A cultured man is similar to a camel because _____.
A. neither of them is interested in knowledge
B. the man reads books as much as a camel eats grass
C. neither of them can be considered wise
D. both of them have the ability to select
47. The underlined term “mental food” refers to _____.
A. books B. grassland
C. brain D. subjects
48. In the second paragraph the writer mainly discusses _____.
A. how to compare furniture with books
B. how to select reading materials
C. how to avoid missing anything interesting in the library
D. why books must be absorbed
