Boston really loves ice cream! For example, the new Museum of Ice Cream just opened at the Seaport. My first job was to scoop (挖) ice cream at the Concord Centre. It was a ______1______ job for someone who is crazy about ice cream. Wearing the white polo shirt uniform, I was full of joy ______2______ the two miles from my home on that first hot summer day.
The first customer (顾客) was a boy with a Museum of Ice Cream map. “Lemon chip cone (甜筒), please!” he spoke happily. You see, lemon chip was among the most popular ______3______. I ______4______ found that the top of the freezer (冰柜) was empty. My smile froze. Just shy of my ______5______, I couldn't reach the bottom (底部) while standing up. This little boy would be watching a ______6______ that would be repeated many times an hour. I would put my head first into the freezer, feet waving in the air, trying not to lose my ______7______ and fall in. But sometimes I'd fall in.
By day's end, I'd bike home, white polo shirt ______8______ with colourful marks from a hard day's work, arms with too many cones. But Friday afternoons got me so ______9______! With my 45 from work—enough for two museum tickets—I'd race to the Museum of Ice Cream.
I felt this was teaching me something important, but I wasn't sure what. When I bit into my weekly ______10______—lemon chip, of course—I tasted something better: the sweetness of hot summers, cold freezers, and a girl who kept reaching even when the ice cream seemed too far.
