— when someone says “
career”,these classic jobs are
the first ones you think about,right? We' ve
found four uncommon careers with awesome and unusual
benefits.
Chief Listening Officer
You may not have heard of a Chief Listening Officer, but
they’ve probably heard from you. CLOs closely
monitor social platforms and conversations to keep an eye ( and
ear!) on what’s being said about their company or
brand. Your work enables a fast response to any and all complaints,
questions, or misinformation.
Why it’s awesome : This job
is on the rise. As more organizations rely on social media for
market research and customer service,the
position of CLO will only become more important.
Food Stylist
Mouth - watering restaurant commercials and wasteful magazine
photographs of delicious food don' t come easy :
it takes the work of a food stylist to make it all happen. Armed
with cooking skills,creative
style,and tools ranging from lipstick to
lard,you get food ready for its
photograph.
Why it' s awesome : This is one of those rare
cooking jobs that provide chances to create, but doesn' t require
you to slave away in a restaurant kitchen.
Global Mobility Consultant
As a global mobility consultant, you help employees make smooth
transitions
(过渡)into
their new homes — whether it' s in Bangkok,
Berlin,or the next state over.
Why it' s awesome : If you're the type who
enjoys travel and likes learning about other
cultures,systems and traditions, this career
could be a perfect fit. As companies continue to expand across
borders, this position is expected to grow by 21 percent over the
next few years. Computational Linguist
Computational Linguists help computers and humans communicate
with others. More specifically, you create computer programs that
can translate, transcribe, and comprehend regular, human
language.
Why it' s awesome: This field is the front line for exciting
technological areas like speech recognition and artificial
intelligence. In other words, you could help create robots.

There’s a secret spot in Ireland. And the
locals don’t want you to know it
exists.
I found it by chance. The Irish are world-famous for being a
friendly nation and yet you hesitate as you climb to the top of a
hill and see a fisherman storing his tools, the dog good-naturedly
circling his feet. The camera comes out. The scene is so in line
with the postcard Ireland you remember seeing pinned to the wall.
Walking closer you drop the camera until you' re close enough to
simply watch and listen. The water gently touches his boat. His
tools hit the dock
(码头),making
ringing noises.
The dog has discovered you sitting so quietly on the hill and
although he' s been playing in the water he knows no sense of
politeness and runs toward you — only a slight
delay in his step as his owner shouts out a command. It slows his
progress toward you, but only slightly. That dog is about to give
you the wettest and hairiest hug you' ve had in weeks.
The dog has opened the door to conversation now and as the dog
leads you to the fisherman you glance toward the sound of an
approaching car,his wife,here
to pick him up and transport his catch back into town. The
immediate polite conversations unfold — I' m an
obvious American and don' t deny it,they' re
curious as to why such a healthy and pretty young lady such as
myself is wandering the cold hills in such a remote area of
Ireland. “ Single are ya? Well why in the world
are ya traveling by yerself, you’ 11 never meet a
man that way?” demands the wife.
She’s a tough customer and
can’t understand my answer
“because I enjoy
it,” evidenced by her
long-suffering sigh and a muttering
(喃喃自语)about
“young people” .
There,s a secret spot in
Ireland,and I,m not going to
tell you where it is. I’m not going to tell where
it is because I know there' re other Irish towns out there just
like it — all laced with joy of
simplicity.
25. What is the writer’s
identity?
A. A detective. B. A traveler. C. A journalist. D. A
fisherman.
26. Which word best describes the wife’s
reaction to the author?
A. Rudeness. B. Curiosity. C. Envy. D. Worry.
27. How does the writer feel about Ireland?
A. Full of secrets. B. Not
developed.
C. A place with simple joy.
D. A place with beautiful scenery.
C
The end of the school year is in sight —
Christmas cards,candy canes and of
course,end of year reports.
While most parents welcome an assessment of their
kids' performance,they do not expect their own
input to be evaluated. But a school in the UK is changing that. As
well as assessing their students, they are dishing out grades to
mums and dads. Parents that are really involved
(参与)in their kid' s education
are rewarded with an A,and parents that haven' t
done their bit get a disappointing D.
The school, Greasley Beauvale Primary in Nottinghamshire, uses
criteria such as whether mums and dads have attended school events
such as plays and parent teacher evenings to decide on the grade.
The school’s principal, Donna Chambers, said that
the scheme
(方案)had
been well received.
“There were some
critics(抖匕评者),but
my response was 4 well, it can’t do any
harm’. Between 15 per cent and 20 per cent of
parents started out in the lower categories but now that has been
reduced to just two per cent,”
she explained.
Chambers hopes that the scheme will help motivate parental
involvement. “The system is important because you
have got to get the parents on board from day one. That one hour
initial conversation saying they could improve will pay dividends
for the rest of that child' s academic life”, she
said.
But while the scheme may be well intentioned, it is likely to be
connected with parent shaming. There are lots of reasons why some
mums and dads might not be involved in school activities such as
work commitments, looking after younger children or caring for
elderly relatives.
And of course,being involved in your kid' s
education doesn’t begin and end at school. There
is a lot that goes on behind the scenes from helping with homework
to keeping uniforms freshly laundered. And what about all the
parents who stayed up sewing special costumes at the last minute?
Surely that earns a gold star instead of a grade!
28. What do schools usually do at the end of the
school year?
A. Evaluating kids’ performances.
B. Making Christmas cards.
C. Dividing candies.
D. Grading parents.
29. What does the school’s
principal Chambers say about the scheme?
A. It uses criteria to assess kids.
B. It has gained much acceptance.
C. It gives parents further education.
D. It improves kids’ motivation for
learning.
30. What does the underlined part
“pay
dividends”(Para. 5) probably
mean?
A. Hold shares.
B. Earn profits.
C. Sacrifice health.
D. Produce advantages.
31. What does the author think of parents5 being
involved in kids’ education?
A. It adds to parents’ burden.
B. It brings shame to parents.
C. It means far more than being
graded.
D. It increases parents’ commitment to
education.
In Switzerland, the land of watches, trains really do run like
clockwork. “ If I' m 30 seconds
late,the train is
gone,” said Michelle
Kranz,who commutes
(通勤)daily into Lucerne, where
she works for the tourist board.
Step across the border, and you’ re in a
different universe. Italy has two rail
schedules: the one printed in the brochure and
another, flashing updates, on a board in the station. The first may
be a fantasy; the second, reality. Next to
posted departures, “Invariably you see the word
‘ ritardato' (
delayed),” said Rick
Steves,who writes guidebooks and runs a tour
company called Europe Through the Back Door in Edmonds,
Wash.
Your time or my time? When traveling, you’ re
in their time. And that can affect almost
everything: catching trains and buses, shopping,
getting a meal and making appointments.
Knowing a little about the culture can prevent much of the
frustration. “ It' s important to go with the
flow,” Steves said.
“If you go to a restaurant in Spain at 7 p.
m.,that’s bad news. The staff
is eating then. ” Try going after 9
p.m.,as the Spaniards do. For the
Swiss, the earlier the better, say 6 p. m.
; after 10,a tourist hoping
for a hot meal in Switzerland just might go hungry.
However, in some Latin American nations, hours and minutes seem
hardly to matter. In Mexico,guests invited to a
6 p. m. social dinner think nothing of showing up two or three
hours later, said Terri Morrison, who is updating a 1995 guide she
co — wrote
called,“
Kiss,Bow or Shake Hands : How
to Do Business in More Than Sixty
Countries,” for release next
year. In fact,it' s wise to arrive at least an
hour late for dinner in Mexico City,Morrison
said,to avoid embarrassing an unprepared host.

There are many theories as to why time doesn' t fly at the same
speed around the globe. Climate, economics and culture may play a
role.

33. What can be learned about Italian train services?
A. They change schedules twice a day.
B. They have no fixed schedules.
C. They usually arrive on time.
D. They often delay.

A. It means money.

The Final Way to Get Cheap Hotel Rooms Does it seem
like hotel costs just go up and up? It' s true that they rise each
year, sometimes significantly. When determining which hotel has the
best deal,you don' t just want to look at the
nightly rate anymore. 36 Here
are some tips to help you make the best decision.
Look for extras.
Common extras that can save you lots are free breakfast, free
Wi-Fi and kids eat free. All those bowls of fruit and free coffee
and tea in reception are also included in your room
rate,so take advantage of them during your
stay.
37
Not only can you get points for each stay that you can then use
on free nights in the future, but rewards
members also get informed of exclusive
(独享的)deals
that can save you a ton. Stay in hotels right outside the city
center.
If the costs for transportation won' t make up the difference,you' d be paying on a closer location. 38 Ask for a corner room.
Though this won' t technically save you any money, comer rooms are usually a bit larger than regular rooms, which give you a better deal for your money. 39 Avoid the weekend.
40 In some cases,it can be as much as three times more than Sunday through Thursday nights.
A. Be a rewards member.
B. Collect as many points as you can.
C. You can frequently get a fantastic deal this way.
D. Surely you don’t want to spend more than
you need to.
E. Once you check in, ask if one of these rooms is
available.
F. There are so many other factors to consider to help you save
money.
G. Hotels in popular destinations regularly raise their rates on
Fridays and Saturdays.

After a long journey I reached Yunnan, With

my

was during my visit to The Tiger Leaping Gorge. The climb over the
gorge was at times exhausting
64 always breathtaking. The
views
couldn’t
65 (imagine) in their beauty
and they 66
(leave) me with many great memories.
After taking a boat from the mainland I arrived
at
67 island province of Hainan.
There I visited Baihua Waterfall. Floating on a pool of water at
the base and looking up at the waterfall with a background of blue
sky was one of the most
68 (relax) experiences of my
life.
Throughout China there are many ancient buildings and in
particular ancient towns. Lijiang and Dali both have
glorious
69 ( example) of this. It was
remarkable to step back in time and get an idea

might have looked like all those years ago. I thought the buildings
were beautiful and full of history.
