二、阅读理解 对工作的热爱
素养:学习能力 难度:难 用时:7分钟
When Drew Masciotti graduated from high school, he got a job delivering(送) pizzas. But soon he realized that it wasn't what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. So he took a night class at a local tech school to see if welding(焊接)—which joins two metals together using heat—was a skill that he was going to stick to.
It did. Masciotti wanted to learn everything about welding and decided he'd make welding his career.
But one night class wouldn't be enough. Masciotti went to Hobart Welding School in Ohio for real, technical training. Besides welding courses, Masciotti also took classes in subjects like metallurgy—the study of metal—and reading blueprints. He became more certain that he would stick to the job.
For the past years, Masciotti has been a welder. He now works for the EEW Group. The company has a big project to carry out. It's in the process of opening a factory that will produce monopiles for offshore wind turbines(涡轮机). Wind turbines produce eco-friendly electricity.
A typical day for Masciotti includes a number
of tasks and skills. One minute, he's driving a forklift. The next, he's reading blueprints, or cutting materials. "There are a lot of things to deal with," he told Time for Kids. "It's not just welding."
Masciotti's favourite part of being a welder is "making an honest living". He also takes pride in helping the environment. "I'm glad to stick to what I really want to do," he says. "I'm working for a company that is helping the country to go green, and it's satisfying to be part of that process."
