A
Some unusual jobs
When we ask students what they would like to be in the future, they often talk about ordinary jobs, like doctors or teachers. But if you think about it, you will find that many people do not do the jobs they planned to do. They just start doing their jobs by accident. We have talked to two people with unusual jobs.
Linda is a dentist, but she does not work with people. She works with horses. After university, she took care of animals’ health for several years. She noticed that there were few people who could help with horses’ teeth. So she went back to college and studied again.
A
Some unusual jobs
Then she had to buy special tools for her work. She is always very busy taking care of horses’ teeth. “I really enjoy working with horses,” said Linda.
As soon as Mike could read, he read books about robots. When he was older he decided to make building robots his job. He made up his mind to study science, maths and computers so that he could break into the world of robot engineering. “Some of the maths is very difficult,” says Mike, “but you must study maths to be an engineer.”
Luckily, he got top marks in all his maths exams. Now he builds robots for industry.

B
People in the UK are always talking about the weather. In the UK, instead of saying “Hello”, people sometimes say “It’s a lovely day” when the weather is sunny, or “Terrible weather, isn’t it ” when it is bad. There are many words to describe the weather too. Why is this
Perhaps one of the reasons is that the weather in the UK is always changing. The UK is made up of a group of islands. The sea separates it from the rest of Europe. The winds coming from the sea make the weather change all the time. On the same day, it can be hot and cold, dry and wet, windy and still. So people have to think about the weather all the time.
B
The changing weather is important for farmers. It is sometimes difficult to plan when to plant and when to pick fruit and vegetables. Too much rain in July and August is harmful and costs farmers in the UK a lot of money. But it is not only farmers who pay attention to the weather. Most British people have gardens, and they need to watch the weather carefully to decide what work to do in them.
So, there is a good reason for British people to talk about the weather. It is a very important part of their lives.

1. What is the best title for the passage
a) The British weather.

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has an exciting new project, the World Beach Project. It is an art project open to anybody, anywhere in the world, of any age. Many of us have made simple shapes with sand and stones on beaches. This project is about making simple shapes with stones of different colours and sizes.
An artist at the museum started the project. The rule is that there is no drawing in — or digging of — sand: just putting stones together and nothing else.
