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 2l years. Harrison’s job has been responsible for approving（批准）large numbers of the sweet ice cream – as well as for developing over 15 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 job in this “cool field”.
In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and grades 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12oF. 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 colour 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 one cool job. What is John Harrison’s job?
| A．An officer. | B．An ice-cream taster. |
| C．A chemist. | D．An ice-cream producer. |

Time Management
Do you ever wish you had more time？ Everyone gets the same amount of time each day， But here are some ways to use those hours better．As a popular saying says， "Work smarter，not harder．"
The most important way to manage your time is to set priorities（优先权）（1） Also，consider whether or not they are urgent﹣if they need to be done right away．It can be easy to forget important tasks that aren't urgent， so make time for them．
Decide ahead of time what you're going to do at certain times each day．Schedule times not only to meet people but also to do things alone． Then you can make sure every thing gets done．
（2） Are you smarter in the morning，afternoon or evening？ Schedule difficult tasks for times you feel good，saving easy ones for when you're tired．
Write down what you need to do and when．I keep two to﹣do lists： one for the present tasks and one for larger projects I'm working on．（3） And I don't get discouraged by looking at a long list of items I can't finish． I focus on the shorter list of each days tasks．
（4） When someone wants to give you a task，think carefully．Is it really important enough to spend your precious（ 宝贵的） time on？ Could someone else do it instead？
（5） If you're in charge of running a meeting，keep it short．Reading articles or talking to friends online can also use up much of your time．Don't allow it．
In the end，using time well is about making a good plan and sticking to it．
A．Think about the time of day you work best．
B．That way I can make sure I don't forget anything．
C．Figure out （弄明白） which of your tasks is the most important．
D．Often，managing time means saying no to things that aren't so important．
E．Meetings also tend to be a waste of time， so avoid them whenever possible．

Misunderstandings
A man，wearing dirty clothes，with dirty hair and only 35 cents in his pocket，got on a bus and headed straight for the restroom．He thought that if he hid in the restroom，he could ride to New York without paying．But a passenger at the back of the bus saw him．She tapped （拍）the person in front of her on the shoulder and said， "There's a bum in the restroom．Tell the bus driver．"That passenger tapped the person sitting in front of him．" Tell the bus driver there's bum in the restroom，"he said．
The message was passed from person to person until it reached the front of the bus． But somewhere along the way，the message changed．By the time it reached the bus driver，it was not "There's a bum in the restroom"but"There's a bomb（炸弹）in the restroom．"The driver pulled over to the side of the highway（高速公路）at once and called the police．When the police arrived，they told the passengers to get off the bus and stay far away． Then they closed the highway．That soon caused a 15﹣mile﹣long traffic jam．With the help of a dog，the police searched the bus for two hours．Of course，they found no bomb．
Two similar﹣sounding English words also caused trouble for a man who wanted to fly from Los Angeles to Oakland，California． His problems began at the airport in Los Angeles．He thought he heard his flight announced，so he walked to the gate， showed his ticket，and got on the plane．Twenty minutes after take﹣off，the man began to worry．Oakland was north of Los Angeles，but the plane seemed to be heading west， and when he looked out his window all he could see was ocean．"Is this plane going to Oakland？" he asked the flight attendant． "No，she said．"We're going to Auckland﹣ Auckland， New Zealand．"
Because so many English words sound similar， misunderstandings among English﹣speaking people are not uncommon．Most misunderstandings are much less serious．Every day， people speaking English ask one another questions like these： "Did you say seventy or seventeen？""Did you say that you can come or that you can't？"
Similar﹣sounding words can be especially confusing （混淆） for people who speak English as a second language．When a Korean woman who lives in the United States arrived at work one morning， her boss asked her，"Did you get a plate？""No…，"she answered，wondering what in the world he meant．She worked in an office． Why did the boss ask her about a plate？All day she wondered about her boss's strange question，but she was too embarrassed to ask him about it． At five o'clock，when she was getting ready to go home，her boss said，"Please be on time tomorrow． You were 15 minutes late this morning．""Sorry， " she said． "My car wouldn't start， and…" Suddenly she stopped talking and began to smile．Now she understood． Her boss hadn't asked her， "Did you get a plate？ "He had asked her， "Did you get up late？"
Auckland and Oakland．"A plate"and"up late"． When similar﹣sounding words cause a misunderstanding，probably the best thing to do is just to laugh and learn from the mistake． Of course，sometimes it's hard to laugh．The man who traveled to Auckland instead of Oakland didn't feel like laughing． But even that misunderstanding turned out all right in the end．The airline paid for the man's hotel room and meals in New Zealand and for his night back to California． "Oh well， "the man later said．"I always wanted to see New Zealand．"
