一、阅读理解
第一节 阅读下面语言材料,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
People often talk about jobs. But when I tell others what I do for a living, they can hardly believe this job exists. But I'm not joking at all. I spend my days at work eating chocolate! I taste chocolate to make sure that people can get excellent chocolate from our factory.
Every week, I receive chocolate from our factory. I have to check it for taste and smell. I also have to taste raw materials we usually use. I spend days choosing the best ones to go into the chocolate.
Just beside my office, I have a kitchen. I test and taste the chocolate I make there. My kitchen is full of machines. It's wonderful to work there during the day.
No two days are the same as a chocolate taster. Sometimes I am in the kitchen. Sometimes I'm out of the country buying the raw materials we need and because I have a young family, that can be difficult. But I love this job. Many people ask me if I get bored with chocolate. I've worked with it for a long time, but I've never felt I don't want to eat it. In fact, I often eat some more in the morning at home!
