What is the best job in the world? Let’s listen to these four people talk about it.
Vincent There’s no better job in the world than being a taxi driver. First, I can decide when I work. This is very important for me. I have three kids and no wife. When my kids need me, I can always be there for them. Also, I can usually choose who I want to work for. Very often, I meet interesting people. By talking to them, I learn a lot.
June I'll surely say teaching is the best job on the planet. Although it takes hard work, especially when students give me a headache, it gives me the feeling that I’m changing lives. My students didn’t know many English words three years ago when I first met them, but now they can write to their American friends without
problems. More than that, what I say and do might stay in their mind and help them at some point in their life. If there is next life, I will still choose to be a teacher.
George The only job I’d like to do is being a farmer. It gets me close to nature. Seeing the vegetables and rice grow makes me feel I can play magic. I grow good healthy vegetables not only for myself and my family, but for those who buy them from me. It makes me feel really happy and that I am useful.
Virginia Being a writer is the most wonderful thing on earth. With knowledge, imagination, and a pen or a computer, I bring my readers to any world I create and make them laugh or cry. I can make the people in my books do anything that can be done, even though it may be very crazy. I can end a story in the way I like. What else could be a better job?

B. Getting close to nature.
C. Seeing vegetables and rice grow. D. Making healthy vegetables for people. 60. What do we learn from the reading?

Hi, Grace,
It’s been two months since we had dinner together. How have you been doing?
These days, my parents have kept arranging blind dates for me. Three weeks ago, they told me that a study showed people who get married after 32 will find it more difficult to stay in a happy marriage. And I’m 30!
However, I’m not ready to have a new family yet. I don’t think I’ll make a good wife. I don’t like cooking or doing the washing and cleaning. And I surely will not be a good mother, either. I never feel like taking care of children. I want to enjoy my own life. My job often takes me to foreign countries, and that’s fun. That’s what I live for! I hate to think about a life in which I have to stay home doing all those boring things.
Every time I got home after having dinner with a stranger, I felt angry. Why did I have to? Is it really important to get married?
Lulu Hi, Lulu,
I’ve been doing fine. The two kids keep me busy, but I enjoy my life.
I can understand how you felt about those dates. I went to two before meeting Mike. People have different ideas about whether one needs to get married. But for me, tying the knot with someone I love is one of the best things in my life. I never feel sorry about leaving my job to care for my family. My family helps me become more loving and stronger, and the feeling of being loved by them always fills my heart with joy.
Although dating with a stranger could be very boring, it doesn’t hurt. It can be a chance for you to meet a nice guy you’d like to share your life with.
Believe me. What belongs to you will go to you. Don’t worry too much. Grace
＊ arrange 安排

63. Why did Lulu write the letter to Grace? A. To thank her. B. To say sorry.
C. To share a happy experience. D. To tell her about a troubling problem. 64. What can we learn from the letters?
A. Grace has an unhappy marriage. B. Grace thinks Lulu should get married. C. Grace is a working mother. D. Lulu enjoys the life she has now. 65. Which is NOT mentioned about Lulu?
A. What her age is. B. Where she works.
C. What she enjoys doing. D. What she thinks about marriage life.
