When you are deciding which wheels are right for you，there are quite a few choices.Here are some tips that may be helpful in choosing a wheel.
Steel wheels—offered mostly for off-road or as a low cost alternative to aluminum(铝)．Steel wheels can be improved by making small changes with a spray can or brush if the need ever arises.A chromed steel wheel is likely to rust and is likely to need repair，especially in areas that use salt on the roads in the winter.They are heavier than aluminum wheels，thus，add some additional stress to suspension and braking(刹车)parts.Another downfall of steel wheels is that they are hand-built wheels and have lower ability of bearing in regard to run in，sometimes causing shaking problems on the street.
ALWAYS dry your wheels off after going through a car wash.The chemicals used in car washes these days can leave dirty spots that are difficult，if not impossible，to get rid of.
ALWAYS wash the road salt off your wheels as soon as possible.Salt can eat into the last part of a wheel and leave pits and stains that cannot be fixed.
ALWAYS check the directions on a cleaner before you use it on your wheels or tyres.Some tyre cleaners will forever discolour wheels and some wheel cleaners contain acids that will eat certain types of wheels.

(2016·河南孟津高一上期末)What do you want to be when you grow up？A teacher？A doctor？How about an ice-cream taster?
Yes，there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream.Just ask John Harrison，an“Official Taste Tester”for the past 21 years.Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product's quality.During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream—as well as for developing over 75 flavors(味道)．
Some people think that it would be easy to do this job；after all，you just have to like ice cream，right？No—there's more to the job than that，says Harrison，who has a degree in chemistry.He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this“cool”field.
In a typical morning on the job，Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples.He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12°F.Harrison explains，“You get more flavor from warmer ice cream，which is why some kids to stir(搅拌)it，creating ice-cream soup.”
While the ice cream warms up，Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance.“Tasting begins with the eyes，” he explains.He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself，“Does the product have the color expected from that flavor？” Next it's time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas，try out new flavors，and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy-working at one
放弃很简单，但你坚持到底的样子一定很酷！
