Our drawings were expected to display our dream occupations. I remember pictures of ballerinas dancing, firefighters putting out a blaze, and astronauts leaping across the moon.My picture showed a figure with brown hair holding a box of orange juice beside a counter. Underneath was my handwriting: “When I grow up, I want to work at Market Basket because it would be fun to swipe (刷) orange juice across the scanner.” Out of everything, my five-year-old self wished to work at the local grocery store.When we are young, questions of what we want to be when we grow up are common. Yet we are not expected to respond with an answer that is likely to come true. However, when we become teens, we are asked the very same questions twice as often. The difference is, now we are supposed to answer with confidence.Teens are expected to know exactly what we want to be and how we are going to achieve that goal. However, not all of us can be so sure. Even though I am in high school, I cannot answer with certainty. But I dont consider that a bad thing. How am I supposed to know what I will want to spend my time doing at age 40?When I think about the future, I definitely dont see myself working at Market Basket, but in reality, if that was what would make me happy, I would do it. So, the next time someone asks me what I want to be when I grow up, I will simply say “happy”.Happiness is a destination for everyone. We may want to walk different paths in life, but we all want to be happy wherever we end up. Choose your path, but dont worry too much about choosing wisely. Make a mistake or two and try new things. But always remember, if youre not happy, youre not at the end of your journey yet.34. What did the author want to be when he was in kindergarten?A. An astronaut.B. A firefighter.C. A dancer.D. A cashier.35. We can learn from the passage that _.A. kindergartners are able to display their dream jobs with confidenceB. kindergartners have limited imagination of their dream occupationsC. teenagers are supposed to be clear about what they want to beD. teenagers stick to the path they chose when they were young36. The author would probably agree that _.A. the principle of growth lies in human choiceB. happiness is the meaning of existenceC. it i
