     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 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.
      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 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 at one "cool" job.

     任务型读写。请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填
入最恰当的单词。)注意:每空不超过1个单词。
     Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student.
This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.
Here's how:
     1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things
that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your
time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget
to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems,
but it will force you to realize wha is happening to your time.
     2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this
space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials.
No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
     3. Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything
the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember
what the teacher says.
     4. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important
points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the
next day, reading that material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
     5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have
learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if
you don't pass a test, so don't be overly worried.
     There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover
many others after you have tried these.
