    There are lots of jobs which we can do. Some are just ordinary (普通的) jobs and   56   are careers (职业), but each person likes something   57  .

    My favorite job is that of a (n)   58  . You can make beautiful thing and you don't have to   59   to get to work. Also, you don't have to do what other people tell you. You can   60   what you are going to paint and then you just do it. The only   61   thing is that artists don't make very much money.

    The worst job I can think of is a pilot's. You have to work for long hours and it's   62   tiring and boring. If you make a serious mistake,      63   will go wrong. It's too dangerous. The only good thing is that pilots are paid a lot of money,    64   money isn't the most important thing about a job.

In a word,   65   job has both good and bad things about it, but I think that artists have got the best jobs.

“Help! Help!” cried Jackal as he quickly jumped upon a large rock hanging over the road. “The rocks are falling down, and I can’t hold them much longer. We shall both be crushed (压碎) if you do not do your best to hold these rocks back, Lion”

At once, Lion pushed his strong shoulder against the rocks to keep them from moving any further. “I’ll just run over here to get something to stop the rocks,” shouted Jackal as he ran away to safety.
