In Germany (德国), if children want to ride bikes by themselves on the road, they have to pass a test. The test is quite like our driving test.

First, the students have 30 classes about how to ride bikes safely on the road. Each student has a book. The book tells them how to keep safe on the road, how to keep others safe and what to do if they get hurt. Here is a picture from the book. It tells the students the right way to turn left.

After the classes, the students will have two written tests. Then, they will do some riding practice at school. Some policemen will come to give them some help.

At last, the students will have a test on the road. If they can pass the test, they can get a bike license (执照) . Then they can ride on the road.

We all know German people are very careful. We can see this from their riding test for the students. The students learn useful riding skills, and at the same time, they learn the spirit (精神) of the country.

People often talk about jobs. But when I tell others about my job, they think I'm joking. I spend my days at work eating chocolate! I taste chocolate to make sure that people can get wonderful chocolate from our factory.

Every week I get chocolate from our factory. I have to test (检验) it for taste and smell. I also have to taste raw materials (原材料) we usually use. I spend days choosing the most suitable (合适的) ones to go into the chocolate.

Just beside my office I have a kitchen. I test and taste chocolate I make there. My kitchen is full of machines. It's wonderful to work there during the day.

No two days are the same in this job. Sometimes I am in the kitchen. Sometimes I'm out of the country buying the raw materials we need and because I have a young family, that can be difficult. But I love this job. I like to live a different life every day. The question is that many people ask me if I think eating chocolate is boring. I work with it for a long time, but I never feel I don't want to eat it. In fact, I often go home and eat some more in the morning!
