（2019天津六校高一上期末，★★☆）
Twenty-five years ago，most young Britons wanted a in law，to be a doctor，or，if they were creative enough，to take up singing. But today，things stand different.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile，a UK company, the \"dream job\" of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger，or \"vlogger（视频博主）”.The survey，carried out among 1.002 people，found that as much as 40 percent of them put the vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly the result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach the audience of the world，without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past，the big stars were trained by the Hollywood studios：now，anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting（交流）with their fans about everyday

life.
However，what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of other who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular，some young people choose to follow careers that don't necessarily earn them fame，but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example，runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform（平台）for runners to keep a record of their aces. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm and is also a learning experience. And that’s enough for him.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
In 1989, fresh from high school. I had the difficult task of choosing a career path before the college started in three months.

I wasn’t interested in engineering，so I was left with medicine or business. I couldn't decide.

My uncle suggested that I do a work placemen（实习工作）to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that，I could make a decision. It seemed like a good idea.
I was accepted for a month's placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I knew how the world of finance functioned，made new friends，and generally enjoyed the work surroundings.
The month passed rapidly，and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience couldn't have been more different. The hospital had a stressful environment. The days started early（at 7 a.m.，compared to 9 m.at the bank）and were filled with endless duties. And the night calls！This was crazy，working all day, through the night, and again the next day.
I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxed atmosphere，better working hours and less stress. The hospital was full of excitement，but the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that the business choice was going to win out.
Near the end of my month at the hospital，I was driving home after an especially busy night call. In front of me was a public bus，with college students sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through traffic，I could see the boys shaking from side to side.
