八、阅读回答问题

When students are asked what they would like to do in the future, they often talk about ordinary jobs, like doctors or teachers. But if you think about it, you will find that few people do the jobs they planned to do. Here is an exception.

Mark Smith is a student at a vocational school—where people learn how to do many of the jobs that are needed in modern society.

“After I finished junior middle school, my results showed that I was better at doing things than at reading books. I had to decide how I could make a living in the future. I’m the kind of person who is good at making things. So I chose to go to a vocational school.” Now, he learns how to repair machines.

“Everyone needs a skill that is useful if they want to live a good life. And I like learning about how things work,” he says. Mark tells people that he is very happy about his choice. “Now I can study the things that I like best. Everyone wants to study what they like, don’t they?” He believes that he has a bright future ahead of him. “You can’t have a society where everyone works in an office. Workers who can make things and repair things will always be needed.”

When people ask Mark what he is most interested in, he smiles and says, “Planes. I don’t know why I’ve always loved machines that can fly, but I do. One day, I’m going to help repair the planes that carry people all over the world.” Like Mark, most of the students in vocational schools are very hardworking. When they graduate from school, they have gained some work experience, so they will have more chances to find a good job.
