　　It was the last day of final examinations at a large college．On the steps of one building, a group of engineering students were discussing the exam that was about to begin．On their faces was confidence．This was their last exam before they graduated(畢業(yè))and found jobs．

　　Some talked of jobs they already had，others of jobs they would get．With four years of college study，they felt ready and able to conquer(征服)the world．

　　The coming exam，they knew，would be easy．The professor(教授)had said they could bring any books or notes they wanted，but they couldn't talk to each other during the test．

　　They walked into the classroom．The professor passed out the papers．The students' smiles became wide as they saw that there were only five essay-type questions．

　　Three hours passed and the exam came to an end．Then the professor began to collect the papers．The students no longer looked confident．They seemed worried．No one spoke as the professor faced the class with the papers in her hand．

　　She looked at all the worried faces in front of her, and then asked，“How many students completed all five questions?”

　　Not a hand was put up．

　　‘‘How many of you answered four?” Still no hands．

　　“Three?Two?”The students moved restlessly in their seats．

　　“One，then．Certainly somebody finished one．”But the class stayed silent．The professor put down the papers．“That is just what I expected，”she said．

　　“I just wanted to make sure you realize that even though you have studied engineering for four years, there are still many things about the subject you don't know．Instead of testing you on what you learned in this class, I've given you questions that skilled engineers face in the world outside the classroom．You can't expect to be an expert(專家)on the day you graduate．You have to learn as you go．”

　　Then，smiling, she added，“You will all pass this course, but remember that your education has just begun．''

(1)

　　By Joe I invited a friend of mine out to eat．My question is who should pay? I invited him to get together to eat, and I wanted to pay for the meal．However, someone told me that we both go Dutch on the bill is only proper and I want to know how you all see it．

　　By Bill Because you invite, you need to pay the bill(賬單)．When friends are splitting(分離)a bill, most people pass the bill around the table and how much they pay bases on(以……為根據(jù))what they order．If you both order the same thing, just split it．

　　By Holly If you invite him out and pick out the place where you go, you should pay because maybe he didn't want to spend his money there．

　　By Laura I don't think that people should expect the asker to pay unless it is a formal date and the asker is a man．It stops people from asking because you become a burden(負(fù)擔(dān))．For that reason I always pay even if someone asks me out．I think it's really polite．

　　By Mauchris I don't．think it is a big deal．Small things like this can sink a friendship．I would say that since you invited him that you should pay．Is it OK with him? If not, you are willing to go Dutch．

　　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(批準(zhǔn))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．

(1)

What is John Harrison's job?

[　　]

A．

An officer．

B．

An ice-cream taster．

C．

A chemist．

D．

An ice-cream producer．

(2)

According to John Harrison, what is useful to get a job in “cool field”?

[　　]

A．

To just like ice cream．

B．

To find out new flavors each day．

C．

To have new ideas every day．

D．

To have a degree in food-science．

(3)

What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?

[　　]

A．

He smells it．

B．

He lets it warm up．

C．

He tastes its flavor．

D．

He examines its colour．
