I'm often asked the question “How did you become a reporter?” You see, everybody expected me to follow in my father's footsteps and become a doctor. Well, during my last year of school I visited a career counsellor (职业顾问) named Lisa and I drove her crazy with my choices.

My first choice was a chocolate taster. Although Lisa didn't know the job well, she got me some information about it. I discovered that chocolate tasters make a lot of money, so I was sure I had found my dream job. However, when I found out that chocolate tasters don't just sit around eating chocolate all day, I lost my interest.

Next, I thought of becoming a football referee (裁判). I had loved football from a young age, but being a professional footballer was out of the question, as I couldn't play very well. However, it seems that referees must be able to run two and a half miles in less than twelve minutes and they are required to take exams throughout their training. So, my dream of becoming a referee died.

Finally, I had this idea of becoming a dog stylist (造型师). That was after I realized how much money our dog stylist, Shirley, was being paid. However, once, while she was styling Philipo, I noticed that he tried to bite (咬) her. “It happens all the time,” she told me. As you can imagine, that really put me off.

To cut a long story short, all this research made me realize I had a talent for investigation (调查), so by the end of the school year I had decided to become a reporter.

There once was a king named Dionysius who ruled over Syracuse, the richest country. Dionysius lived in a palace. There were many beautiful and _______things. Because the king had so much power, there were many people in Syracuse who envied (嫉妒) ______good luck. Damocles was one of them. He was one of Dionysius’s best friends, and he was always saying to him, “How ______you are! You have everything anyone could wish for.” Once after Damocles praised him on his power and abundance ( 富 足 ), Dionysius turned to him and said, “Perhaps you’d like to_______places with me ?” “Oh, I would never ________that,” said Damocles. “ But if I could only have your riches and your pleasures for one day, I should __________want any happiness.”
