Amy was a dear little girl, but she was always wasting time getting prepared to do her tasks, instead of doing them 1 . In the village, Mr. Thornton kept a store where he sold fruits of all kinds, 2 berries when in season. One morning he said to Amy, “ Well, Amy, I noticed some fine, ripe blackberries on Mr Green’s farm today. He said that anybody was welcome to them. I will pay you 13 cents a kilogram for all you pick for me.” Amy was 3 about the thought of making some money to help her mom. She 4 ran home to get a basket to hold the berries.

Many people try, but a lot of them fail. Also, in the past firefighting was always a job for men. Now there are women firefighters. When Siene was five years old, it was her dream to become a firefighter. Forty years later, she was the oldest woman to pass a six-week course at the WFPA (女子消 防预备学院). The WFPA trains women in the skills they need to be firefighters. In fact, Siene now trains firefighters there herself. Starting the course doesn’t mean you’ll become a firefighter. The course is very 深高北初一英语备课组 班级: 姓名： 2 difficult, so not everyone finishes the training. They are trained like being in the army. Can you hold a heavy piece of woods for four minutes? How many exercises can you do? Can you lift a 12-meter ladder ? You also need other skills. Can you lead a team? Are you a skillful driver? Can you use technology? There are so many more that are a part of firefighting these days. Of course, no one can do them all, but more skills certainly help. However, you must wait for a chance to work as a firefighter even before passing your course. It seems that lots of women aren’t ready to do that. In one year, 50 women got trained, but only three of them are now firefighters. Learning the skills is not enough to become a firefighter. Like Siene, you also need to stick to your dream.

Mark has also successfully appeared on TV to discuss storms and global warming. He’s written wonderful articles about our changing weather and is the writer of a very popular blog about extreme weather (极端天气) and several books. So how did Mark begin his career? Mark grew up in Wisconsin in the USA, where storms are common. When he was six, he saw his first typhoon close at hand and he never forgot the experience. A few years later, his mother bought him a camera. Mark was more interested in recording the sounds of weather than taking photographs. He used to spend hours recording sounds outdoors. He did it as a hobby when he was a little boy, but he soon became very interested in extreme weather. When he was a teenager, he used to read about all kinds of extreme weather events in the newspaper and he sometimes went to the library to look for scientific magazines on different kinds of weather. He even joined an after-school club that organized trips to learn about weather patterns. Mark studied journalism (新闻学), not photography, at university and began his 深高北初一英语备课组 班级: 姓名： 3 career as a writer working on local newspapers.

C According to a survey, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger or “vlogger” (视频博主). The survey, carried out among 1,000 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal jobs. The reasons for this change are the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach everyone around the world, without having to enter an acting career in the traditional way. “In years gone by, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios. Now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star,” a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said. “These self-made stars record and show their hobbies to their fans. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people chatting with their fans about everyday life.” However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they 深高北初一英语备课组 班级: 姓名： 4 don’t notice the fact that only those who are successful get fame and money. For every success, there are a hundred others who fail. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that still stay dreams. Among those vloggers, some have different opinions. Fame is not what they really want.They just make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. A young man called David Leshaw, for example, has his own company called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. He thinks his job helps him to show his passion, and at the same time, he learns a lot from it. That’s enough for him. ( ) 21.How many young people choose “vlogger” to be their dream jobs in the survey? A.40. B.140. C.1000. D.400. ( ) 22.What are the reasons for the change of young people’s dream jobs？ A.
