Larry Chickola is the vice president and chief corporate engineer of Six Flags theme parks. He has loved theme parks since childhood. When he was young, he often visited the Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio. There, he rode the Corkscrew roller coaster, which became one of his favourite experiences. This early interest inspired his dream of becoming an engineer.
Larry studied mechanical engineering in college but didn’t realise he could design roller coasters as a career. Later, a friend told him about a job opportunity at Six Flags. This excited him, and he decided to become a roller-coaster engineer. Today, he is responsible for engineering work at Six Flags parks worldwide. He oversees the design and construction of rides, including over 1,000 rides in North America alone, with 157 of them being roller coasters.
One of Larry’s current projects is Falcon’s Flight, the tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster ever built. It is constructed at Six Flags in Saudi Arabia. Larry’s job requires creativity and problem solving skills. For example, he once worked with engineers to make rides more accessible for people with disabilities, showing his care for inclusivity.
Larry often visits the Six Flags Great Adventure park in Jackson Township, New Jersey, where his office is located. He watches visitors understand what makes rides enjoyable. He believes creating fun rides is harder than just making them tall or fast. “If I want a ride to be tall, I can make it tall. But figuring out how to make it fun is the real challenge,” he says.
Among the rides he has designed, Larry is especially proud of the Iron Rattler in San Antonio, Texas. This roller coaster takes riders past beautiful rock walls before dropping almost straight down. Larry feels happy knowing his designs bring daily excitement to visitors. His journey from a roller coaster-loving child to a chief engineer proves that passion and hard work can turn dreams into reality.

Young Chinese Baker Rocks “Bread Olympics”
A dancing lion, a lovely panda and other Chinese symbols in interesting shapes—when these are grouped together, what kind of magic can happen This one-meter-high bread was out of the hands of Gong Xin, a Chinese baker who won the first place in the ninth World Bread Competition, also known as “the Bread Olympic Games”, making him the first ever Chinese champion (冠军) of this event. Many foreigners say it is the same as a foreigner taking the first place in a dumpling-making competition in China.
After graduating from school, Gong began to learn to make bread. He worked in a bakery. Soon, he found that it could not help realize his dream because he wished to become a top baker. He then left to further his bread-making skills in a famous school. The journey of growing from a common baker to a skilled one took him only two years, but behind the rapid progress were many hours of sweating (汗水) in his free time. For Gong, hard work had produced fantastic skills, but he kept wondering how he could take those skills to the next level, which was the reason why he took part in the competition.
As a well-known international bakery competition, the World Bread Competition requires each competitor to make different types of healthy bread with creative ideas. Gong tried a lot day in, day out, finally making a name for himself.
A young baker from a small town has grown into a world champion. “Challenges are everywhere. One should have more practice, patience and a deep love for the job. More communication and exchanges about the ideas especially expressing the traditional Chinese culture with other people are also necessary,” he said, adding that when he watched people enjoying and admiring his bread, he got a strong feeling of satisfaction. That is the force to keep him moving forward.
53．What did Gong Xin win
A．A dancing competition.
B．The first place in the World Bread Competition.
C．A panda-raising competition.
54．Why did Gong Xin go to a famous school
A．Because he didn't like the bakery.
B．Because he wanted to improve his bread-making skills.
C．Because the school was nearer to his home.
55．What do competitors need to do in the World Bread Competition

B．Make sweet bread.
C．Make different kinds of healthy bread with new ideas.
56．What can we learn from Gong Xin

During the past summer holiday, I wanted to get a job so I’d have something to do over the long summer. I wanted a job to make pocket money (零花钱) so that I could buy cute clothes or be able to treat myself to a nice lunch if I wanted.
I struggled (努力) to find a job where I could keep myself safe. For a 16-year-old, there were not many choices. One day in August, when I tried to order takeout, it occurred to me that I could become a delivery driver (送餐员) for a popular food delivery app called Doordash. It was a perfect choice for me because I could make more money than other kids at my age and pick my own hours. It helped me schedule (安排) my time to spend studying or being with my family.
As a new driver, one of the best parts of my delivery job is that I’ve learned how to get around different towns near where I live. Since signing up in the summer, I have worked around 96 hours and made 160 deliveries. My favorite nights of work are when I top my highest one-night earnings (收入).

Playing video games and getting money for it seems like a dream job for many of today’s teenagers. But is it all fun
Big business
Pro (professional) gaming (专业游戏) is certainly big business. In 2017, there were more than 3,000 gaming competitions and over 10,000 professional players worldwide. A large number of people watch their competitions online, and successful games can get more than 1,000,000 dollars from prize money and ads. 67
What it takes
Becoming a professional is not just about being good at playing games. 68
Some pro games practice for fourteen hours a day. “You need to spend much time and put all your efforts to it”, says ex-gamer George.
69
It can be a difficult job as well. Stress is a big problem for games. Tiredness is another, and injuries (受伤) are common. Top player Hai Lam had wrist (手腕) problems after years of programming. 70

Everyone told me I was crazy when I give up my high-paying job, but it was the best decision of my life.
Back then, I was 27 years old. I had spent five years working for a company in the centre of Chicago, US. My life didn’t look anything like I wanted it to be. It was time for a change.
I looked back on my life to discover my true interests. While my sales job taught me a lot about business, I was always crazy about exploration (探索). I knew I wanted to live abroad and be free to discover more of the world I lived in.
To make a living while staying abroad, I decided to teach English. I signed up for a 120-hour TEFL course to prepare for the job. It was scary at first. Moving abroad to be an English teacher wasn’t something people just did. But I trusted myself and went for it anyway.
Through teaching, I finally realize that giving is receiving, which is so different from my last job. Together with my co-teachers, I have helped people make their dreams come true. One of our graduates (毕业生), Joan, sent us a handwritten note about how our course helped her do her job better.

①Eric Bauza is a Canadian voice actor who works on animated (动画的) movies. He has lent his voice to many famous cartoon characters, like Bugs Bunny and Scooby-Doo, which you might have seen on TV!
②When Eric Bauza was young, he loved watching cartoons. But he never thought that doing voices for cartoons could be his job one day. In college, he studied radio, TV, and film. He found he really liked radio work. This helped him learn to use his voice in fun ways, and it was important for his future job.
③Bauza says voice acting is a lot like other kinds of acting. Even though you don’t see the actors on the screen, they still need to show real feelings. This way, people can feel close to the cartoon characters.
④Besides voice actors, there are other jobs in making cartoons. Some artists draw pictures like in comic books. Animators make the characters move, and sound mixers add music and sounds to make the scenes better.
⑤If you want to be a voice actor, Bauza says practice is key. Reading out loud often can make you better at speaking. You can also try imitating different voices you hear in movies or on TV. You don’t have to remember all the lines by heart, but it’s hard to make the characters sound real. Bauza’s story tells us that if you love something and work hard, you can turn your hobby into a great job.
