The other day in school, we were discussing jobs. Our teacher, Mrs Bolt said that career was very
important and that it was never too early to think about your life's work. Most of the young boys really
were not too sure about what they wanted to be. But I knew exactly what I wanted to be, and when Mrs
Bolt asked me, I replied "A truck driver."
"A truck driver?" repeated Mrs Bolt. "Why do you want to be one,Tom?"
"Because truck drivers are always on the move. They do not have to sit at desks all day. They are out
on the road and they see a lot of the countries. The pay is good, too. And they never have any homework."
The class laughed.
"Well, Tom," answered Mrs Bolt. "You certainly sound quite enthusiastic (热情的). I guess that you
don't like sitting at a desk or doing homework.Is that correct, Tom?"
"Yes, I guess so," I said.
"Well, since you are so interested in becoming a truck driver, I think you should look into the field a
little further. I want you to go to the library and take out a book on truck driving. And I want you to write
a paper on it and hand it in at the end of the month."
That's the last time. I'll never tell anybody my secret ambition (雄心).
