A Working Vacation
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get your dream job? It can take years to get the
education and develop the skills you need for the perfect job. However, there is a way to experience your

Trang 1
dream job without having to get the required training or degree. Since 2004, Brian Kurth’s company,
Vocation Vacations, has been connecting people with mentors who have the jobs of their dreams.
Kurth had been working for a phone company before starting his own company. He didn’t like his job,
and he had a long time to think about it on his drive to and from work. He also thought about his dream
job while driving. He was interested in becoming a dog trainer, but he didn’t want to take any chances
and switch to a field he didn’t have experience in. He really wanted to know what the job was like and if
it was realistic for him to work towards his goal. So, he found a mentor – a dog trainer that could tell him
about the job and everything it involved. After that, he helped his friends find mentors to explore jobs
they were interested in. They thought it was helpful to talk to people who had their dream jobs before
spending lots of time and money getting the training they needed for those jobs.
Kurth saw how much this helped his friends, so he decided to turn it into his business. He started
Vocation Vacations in 2004, and by 2005, the company was offering experience with over 200 dream
jobs. Today, about 300 mentors work with the company to share their knowledge about their jobs.
Customers pay to experience the job of their dreams and work with these mentors to see what a job is
really like. A “job vacation” costs between $350 and $3,000 and can be for one to three days. Many
people use Vocation Vacations to see if their dream job is a career path they want to continue. Others do
it just to experience the job of their dreams one time.
Vocation Vacations jobs are in the fields of fashion, food, entertainment, sports and animals. Many
people want to try glamorous jobs. For example, they want to try working as actors, music producers,
photographers and fashion designers. According to Kurth, some other popular dream jobs are working as
bakers, hotel managers and wedding planners.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions 12–19.
Scientists have identified two ways in which species disappear. The first is through ordinary or
“background” extinctions, where species that fail to adapt are slowly replaced by more adaptable life
forms. The second is when large numbers of species go to the wall in relatively short periods of biological
time. There have been five such extinctions, each provoked by cataclysmic evolutionary events caused by
some geological eruption, climate shift, or space junk slamming into the Earth. Scientists now believe that
another mass extinction of species is currently under way – and this time human fingerprints are on the
trigger.
How are we are doing it? Simply by demanding more and more space for ourselves. In our assault on the
ecosystems around us we have used a number of tools, from spear and gun to bulldozer and chainsaw.
Certain especially rich ecosystems have proved the most vulnerable. In Hawaii more than half of the
native birds are now gone – some 50 species. Such carnage has taken place all across the island
communities of the Pacific and Indian oceans. While many species were hunted to extinction, others
simply succumbed to the „introduced predators’ that humans brought with them: the cat, the dog, the pig,
and the rat.
Today the tempo of extinction is picking up speed. Hunting is no longer the major culprit, although rare
birds and animals continue to be butchered for their skin, feathers, tusks, and internal organs, or taken as
savage pets. Today the main threat comes from the destruction of the habitat of wild plants, animals, and
insects need to survive. The draining and damming of wetland and river courses threatens the aquatic
food chain and our own seafood industry. Overfishing and the destruction of fragile coral reefs destroy
ocean biodiversity. Deforestation is taking a staggering toll, particularly in the tropics where the most
global biodiversity is at risk. The shinking rainforest cover of the Congo and Amazon river basins and
such place as Borneo and Madagascar have a wealth of species per hectare existing nowhere else. As
those precious hectares are drowned or turned into arid pasture and cropland, such species disappear
forever.
