     What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?
     Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison, an "Official
Taste Tester" for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product's quality. During
his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream-as well as for
developing over 75 flavors (味道).
     Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No-
there's more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or
food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this "cool" field.
     In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream
warm up to about 12 F. Harrison explains,"You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some
kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup."
     While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance.
"Tasting begins with the eyes," he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself,
"Does the product have the colour expected from that flavor?" Next it's time to taste!
     Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream
each day keeps Harrison busy but happy-working at one cool job.

1. What is John Harrison's job?

A. An official.
B. An ice-cream taster.
C. A chemist.
D. An ice-cream manufacturer.

2. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the "cool field", it is helpful to _____.

A. keep a diary of work
B. have a degree in related subjects
C. have new ideas everyday
D. find out new flavors each day

3. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?

A. He stirs the ice cream
B. He examines the colour of the ice cream
C. He tastes the flavors of the ice cream
D. He lets the ice cream warm up

4. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?

A. Tasting with Eyes
B. Flavors of Ice Cream
C. John Harrison's Life
D. One Cool Job
