Laura Fagan, a 29-year-old British girl, has a special job. She is paid well to taste chocolate, desserts and cakes. [
Laura works in the famous supermarket, Tesco. Her job is to try different kinds of desserts. She needs to try as many as 20 desserts a day. Also, she always travels for work. She needs to travel to different cities to try different desserts.
Although the job seems to be great, it is hard. Usually, Laura begins trying desserts as early as 8 am, and is still trying new desserts at 6 pm before she goes back home. Luckily, the job hasn’t made her too heavy. She only worries about her teeth.
“Of course I was afraid of becoming fat when I started the job, so I try to do exercise as often as possible. The main thing is my teeth. I don’t think my dentist will be happy if I tell her what I do, so I try to brush my teeth as often as possible,” Laura told a reporter. She goes to the gym to keep slim (苗条的) and takes more care of her teeth after trying the desserts. She said, “When I tell people what I do, they say it’s the best job in the world.”
Laura loves her job although it is hard. “I can learn about new trends (动态) in food,” she said.

It was midday when I got the call that my grandfather was not well and he was quickly getting worse. My family did not know how long he would stay in the world. I knew I had to get to the hospital to tell him how much I loved him. As I drove to the hospital, I pictured him before I got to tell him how much he meant to me. Trying to fight back the tears, I wanted to stay calm when I saw him.
When I got to the hospital, I hurriedly looked for his hospital room. I found him in a semi-conscious state (半清醒状态). On my knees, I said softly, “Hello, Grandpa.”
Still feeling shy, I decided not to leave his bedside without letting him know. While I asked about how he was, he told me, “I’ll be fine, Henry.” although we both knew that wasn't true. Then he asked me with a smile how I was doing.
Hearing what my grandpa said, I was much moved. I made the decision that I had to show my gratitude for him. As I found all the courage (勇气) I had, I hold his hand tightly. I cried out, “Grandpa. I just want to let you know how much I love you. I hope you already know that yet I just want to make sure.” By this time, tears were rolling down my face. All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know, became free.
Smilingly, he said, “I know. Thank you for telling me that. All I have on this planet is my family and my love for them. If there is anything I could ask of you, I want you to be good to your family, your mother, your father, and your brother. That’s all I want of you.”
What I learned that day changed my whole life. From then on, I began telling people how much I love them, care for them, and respect them. I get in touch with, for example, my babysitter, my barber, to show my appreciation. I go down into the city once a week and serve pizza to the homeless.
