My dream
job
My dream job would be becoming
a professional baseball player. I grew up playing little league
baseball. I was not the best player on the team; but playing
baseball was something I would look forward to doing every day and
just have fun doing it. I haven’t played baseball for the last four
years. I really missed the times when I would just have that happy
feeling when my dad would drive up to the park, when I would get a
base hit, when I would catch a fly ball, or just the fact that I
was a part of a team.
So many baseball players these
days take their jobs for granted. Many play baseball not just
because they are good at it, but because of the money. Alex
Rodriguez signed a $252 million contract for the
Texas Rangers in 2000. Anybody in the entire world would love to be
in his shoes. After all, what would you do
with $252 million? For myself, I
would love to be in Alex Rodriguez’s shoes, not because of the
money, not because of the fame, but because if I were in his shoes,
I would just treasure every moment of every second that I am on the
field.
I would feel like the luckiest
person alive every time I am reminded that I am living the dream, a
dream that many people like myself would die to get the chance to
do.
Example: A lot of players take their
jobs for granted. True
1. Kenneth would like to be a
basketball player because he was always
the best in the team. ______
[1]
2. He enjoyed himself while
playing baseball. ______ [1]
3. He has continuously played
basketball since he was a child. ______
[1]
4. He believes that money is
one of the main reasons to become a baseball player. ______
[1]
5. Kenneth would like to be in
Alex Rodriguez’s place because of the fame. ______
[1]
6. He enjoys being a part of a
baseball team. ______ [1]

Interviewer: Now, Welcome to “You and
Your Health”. Today on our show we have the famous cardiologist Dr.
Shaw. First of all maybe you could explain to us why the numbers of
people suffering from heart attacks seem to be on the increase
these days?
Dr
Shaw: Well, I think the answer to
that is, unfortunately, our modern
lifestyle.
Interviewer: Could you be a little more
specific please doctor?
Dr
Shaw: Yes, of course. For example,
how many times have you been too busy to eat a proper meal and so
end up eating some unhealthy take out food? Most of people
underestimate the importance of a healthy
diet.
Interviewer: So, what your are telling us
is that if we all make an effort to eat healthier food we are less
likely to suffer from heart problems.
Dr
Shaw: Of course a healthier diet is
going to help. Exercise is also important. We should all make sure
we get a regular amount of daily exercise.
Interviewer: You mean we should all join
a gym or buy exercise machines?
Dr
Shaw: Only if you have the time
and the money. If not just spend thirty minutes a day doing a
physical activity such as walking, cycling, gardening or even
dancing, you will be helping your heart as well as strengthening
your muscles and increasing your lung capacity. In fact, if I had
to describe a potential heart attack victim it would be a man in
his 50s with a stressful job and a family to support, who drinks a
lot of coffee, smokes cigarettes doesn’t eat proper balanced meals
and gets very little exercise.
Interviewer: Well, thanks Dr Shaw, you
have certainly given us a lot to think
about.
