21、What kind of job would you like to do in the future? Students from Dalton Junior High School in the US state of Georgia took a test about skills. It gives students advice for their future jobs.

Cindy, an eighth-grader, feels ever more sure of her life goal: becoming a marine biologist(海洋生物学家). “It’s always been my dream job,” she told The Daily Citizen. Cindy said the test showed her what she already knew about herself. “I like to work with people and explore(探索) deeper on what is happening.”

The test told Linda that she “likes finding specific(具体的) answers to problems”.
