题目：【阅读理解】

    Ron was an engineer. He planned a change and tried the new job of teaching kids how to swim. Ron' s easy manner soon made him a full-time employee at the swim school.

    Now, the 40 hours he works a week takes in weekends, early mornings and late afternoons. He earns around 25% less than he did in engineering. But, at 49, he says he has never been happier."I’ve had a drop in pay , but I’ve cut back on spending, too. I seldom drive to work so don ' t have to pay as much for petrol (汽油). I don ' t drink as much. I go walking in my lunch break and I’ ve lost 20 kilos. I love going to work. The whole family is a lot happier.

    When one of his brothers called, offering to help him find "a real job" , he answered, "I don ' t care. I know what I' m doing is good. "

    He admits it was fearful making such a big change when there was the mortgage (分期付款) to pay and kids to clothe and feed, but in the end he feels it is a simple choice. "If you' re in a job you don' t like, get out. Money ' s not everything. If you don ' t like it, change—find something you ' re going to be happy with. "
