　　The class laughed.

　　“Well, Kenneth,” answered Mrs. Bolt .“You certainly sound enthusiastic (热心的) .I guess that you don't like sitting at a desk or doing homework .Is that correct, Kenneth?”

　　“Well, since you are so interested in becoming a truck driver, I think you should investigate(调查)the field a little further .I want you to go to the library and take out a book report on it and hand it in at the end of the month .”

　　That's the last time .I'll never tell anybody my secret ambition(抱负).
