Do you ever hope to have a chair right for you when standing for too long?1.

The different chair was made in a company in Switzerland. The company's boss Keith Gunura said the idea came from his work experience when he was young.2.The place was not big enough for all the workers to sit on chairs, and it was tiring for him to stand for several hours at a time.3.Then the Chairless Chair came out. As its name implied, it doesn't look like a chair at all. 4.When you want to sit down, just push a button, and it will move and work like a chair. The Chairless Chair is only two kilograms, so it doesn't make you feel anything different.

The Chairless Chair definitely moves more easily than a traditional folding chair. 5.Most of them are the people who need to stand at work for a long time.

A.With a belt, it can be tied along your body.

B.Well, a special chair has come to the world.

C.At that time, Keith worked in a packing factory.

D.Now many people are waiting in line to have one.

E.He decided to make a chair that can move around with him.

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 (職業(yè)顧問) 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 (造型師). 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 (調(diào)查), so by the end of the school year I had decided to become a reporter.

1.What can we know about the writer's first dream job?

A.It is a job that pays well. B.It is what his father is doing.

C.It is what Lisa expected him to do. D.It is a job that requires one to sit all day.

2.Why was the writer interested in becoming a football referee instead of a player?

A.He wanted to run less. B.He wasn't young enough.

C.He wanted to take fewer exams. D.He couldn't play football very well.

3.Philipo is probably _______.

A.Shirley's dog B.the writer's dog C.Shirley's stylist D.the writer's stylist

4.Which of the following contains the words that are closest in meaning to the underlined part in Paragraph 4?

A.When she calls, put her off as long as you can. B.It'd be much better to put it off till tomorrow.

C.I asked the driver to put me off at the station. D.The accident put him off driving for life.

5.What is the passage mainly about?

A.How to choose the right job. B.Different jobs the writer has tried.

C.How the writer became a reporter. D.The importance of career counsellors.
