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 appro-
ving large quantities of 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 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.
B. An ice cream taster.
C. A chemist.
D. An ice cream manufacturer.
B. have a degree in related subjects
C. have new ideas every day
D. find out new flavors each day
B. He examines the colour of the ice cream.
C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.
D. He lets the ice cream warm up.
B. Flavors of Ice Cream.
C. John Harrison"s.
D. One Cool Job.

you? Even if you do nothing about it,your bad mood will probably go
away after some time. But with a little effort,you can forget
it much faster, often within a day or two.
◆ Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular way to remove bad mood. A person
who"s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a
fast ten-minute walk, or taking some quick exercise can do wonders
towards changing that bad mood.
◆ Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tensions
go away quickly,because music starts associations with past positive
experiences we"ve had.
◆ Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what"s on your mind. Bad moods are often
started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper,
including the pessimistic ( 悲观的)messages you"ve been giving yourself
and then give optimistic answers.
◆ Avoid things that won"t improve your mood
TV may not help much. You need to increase your energy level
and stimulate your mind. And before you reach for that piece of
cake or coffee ,think about how are linked. Sugar and caffeine
contribute to depressed moods. While carbohydrates, such as potatoes
and pasta( 意大利面食) produce a calming effect in people
who have a desire for them.

Well ,the Spanish company StopStress is offering clients(客户 )
the possibility of doing just that-but in controlled ,safe conditions.
Clients can also destroy computers, mobile phones and TV sets
in what the company calls" destructible therapy" ( therapy : treatment
of a medical disorder).
"We target the machines that cause the most stress in modern
life,"company co-founder Jorge Arribas said in a telephone inter-
view. "People get rid of stress by screaming and beating the ma-
chines until they are tired out. "he explained.
The company, based in the northern Spanish city of Soria, uses
deserted cars that still work. Heavy-metal music is used to excite
the clients. They are given protective suits and glasses, helmets and
huge hammers.
Most people"s rage only lasts for 5 to 10 minutes. But some go
on for hours : they beat cars on which they"ve put the names of people
or ideas they would like to get rid of.
"Some even get together to turn the car over, "Arribas says. A
session costs 60 euros(US $80)per person.
Arribas says the idea came to him when he was having trouble
parking his car.
"Dozens of people have used the therapy, which helps people
become aware of their stress level and helps them to slow down,"
Arribas explained.
"It"s better to channel violence in a controlled way than to get
it out on one"s husband and wife or in a traffic jam. "he added.
StopStress already has branches in three Spanish cities, and is
planning to extend its market beyond Spain"s borders.
B. destroy things they no longer need
C. get rid of stress by destroying things
D. get rid of stress by screaming and shouting
B. Mobile phones.
C. Deserted cars.
D. Protective suits and glasses.
B. a special way to get rid of stress
C. a new and expanding busines
D. how people deal with stress in Spain
B. go in separate ways
C. avoid
D. reduce
homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news
is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record
the beauties of nature.They can also bring things close that are
far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign
lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.
Reporting the news through photos is called photojournalism.
At times photojournalists tell their stories through a single picture.
At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture
is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the
facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.
Jacob Riis was among the first photojoumalists. He took pictures
of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis believed
that poverty(贫穷 )caused crime, and he used photos to help him
prove his point. A few years later,the photos of small children working
in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the public. Hine"s pictures
helped bring about laws to protect such children.
Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one
or two really good photos. It takes science to have the photo come
out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses
feeling. Photojournalists make an actual record of what they
see. A photo, however, can be both a work of art and an actual record.
It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.
As historical and artistic documents (文献), photos can become
more important over time. Today photojournalists still have
their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish
(发表) them in books and on the Internet.
B. photos
C. goods
D. events
B. are popular ways of reporting news
C. often shock the public
D. can serve as a force for social change
B. Photos help people improve their life.
C. News photos mean history in a sense.
D. People prefer to read news with pictures.
B. decorating the walls of homes
C. publishing historical papers
D. expressing feeling through pictures

W : What"s your favorite sport, Joseph?
M : Generally s 1 , I"m interested in team sport, I 2 basketball and football. How about you?
W: I"m f 3 of all kinds of sports,such as golf and swimming.
M: But I also like boxing very much. Some people like such outdoor activities as f 4 and mountain
climbing.
W: And there are also people who like to b 5 spectators. They are en thusiastic about games.
M : Yes. A 6 they don"t join in any games, they usually w 7 them on TV, or listen to them over the r 8 .

A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some
help,and you agree. But, what you really wanted was relaxing at
home for a couple of quiet days,or a roommate spends the whole
weekend playing video games and wants to borrow your homework
for"reference". But,you"ve just finished it after working hard for a
whole day.
Many people say" yes" to this kind of requests. They tend not
to consider their own interests and feelings,and are often angry with
themselves afterwards. Saying" no" requires courage and considerable
practice. " Everyone wants to be liked. " says Gabriele Steinki,a
German psychologist. "Saying"no"risks losing the affection of the
person asking for the favor. Or even a job. "The result is that many
people say"yes"just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is
regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say" no". In fact, rejecting
a request can even help to stabilize a relationship because it
expresses real affection. But,for peop"le accustomed to agreeing every
request,it"s very distressing to say" no".
Most people believe that if they say" no" ,they"ll lose the affection
of the person. But the affection is important to them. This way
of thinking can be replaced by this:"If he only likes me because I
always do what suits him,then the price of this affection is too high
in the long term. "
When people say " no", Steinki advises giving the reasons
calmly until the person gets the message.
B. Sometimes people say " yes" when they really want to say no .
C. It"s not suitable to ask others to help at weekends.
D. It"s disgusting to borrow homework for reference.
B. they are afraid of breaking the good relationship with the asker
C. they don"t care about their own feeling
D. they are good-tempered
B. funny
C. unnecessary
D. uncomfortable
B. Saying" No"Is More Important Than Saying" Yes"
C. Saying " No" Would Bring Benefits
D. The Art of Saying " No"
