A
The Strangest Jobs in the World
You may be tired of a 9-to-5 job. Or you may be looking for something different to do. You won’t believe what some of these people do for a living. Check out these strangest jobs and tell us if you could handle doing any of them.
Watching Paint Dry
This may be one of the most boring jobs in the world. The paint company hires people to watch paint dry. They need to take note of the changing colors and have to examine the changes under a microscope(显微镜) as well as on the walls.
Iceberg(冰山) Mover
This job appeared after the Titanic tragedy(悲剧) in 1912. Iceberg movers remove icebergs and prevent any further accidents. Using satellites and airplanes, the movers search the seas for icebergs. And if any are found, they pull the iceberg to an area where it won’t be in the way. Pulling an iceberg can take up to 72 hours. This is because the boat needs ten hours to reach a speed of just one mile per hour.
Luggage Organizer
There are many camp activities for children in New York. Mothers are now inviting luggage organizers to pack their kids’ bags. To hire an organizer costs around US $250 an hour. It can take up to four hours to be fully packed and ready. US $1,000 to pay somebody to pack your kids’ bags, is it worth it

We had promised to do it for years. We would pack a car with cold chicken and drive south like we used to. But we never had a proper time to do it, somehow. My aunt Edna’s heart was failing. Aunt Juanita had to care for my uncle at home, and my mother, Margaret, did not leave home unless blown away from it by tornadoes(龙卷风). So I was surprised a few years ago when my 72-year-old mother told me to pick up all of them for the trip.
I found the three sisters in the yard, with suitcases in their hands. Edna packed some food including two gallons of potato salad for the two-day trip from Jacksonville, Alabama.
As I drove, they talked of childhood, dirt roads where the dark closed in like a cover on a box, and a daddy who chased(追赶) the bad things away as soon as he walked in. When we arrived in Montgomery, they had ridden a horse named Bob, cooked a dead chicken named Mrs. Rearden, and fished beside a little man named Jessie Clines. As we drove across Mobile Bay they were remembering their mama and a groundhog that lived under the floorboards.
I wanted them to see the sunset from the Fairhope pier, and as we rolled down the bluff(陡坡), I heard them go quiet. But the sunset was just a light to see. They were looking at the roses, which were flowering in a circle the size of a baseball field. There were more than 2,000 of them. My mother, who never even liked roses much, said, “Oh, my God.” Juanita looked as if she were about to cry. “So beautiful,” she said again and again. She stayed in the rose garden for a long time, till the sun disappeared totally. She saw the Fairhope roses six times on this trip. The last time, because she was tired , we sat in the car.
A year later, I spoke at Edna’s funeral(葬礼). For the first time, I knew what I wanted to say in my mind, but the words crashed together inside my head and I lost the fine things I really wanted to say. Her daughters just hugged me, one by one, and thanked me for the roses.
24. Where did their trip start
A. Mobile Bay. B. Fairhope pier. C. Montgomery. D. Jacksonville.
25. What did the sisters do when the author drove
A. They looked back on the past. B. They fished with Jessie Clines.
C. They rode a horse on a dirt road. D. They talked of childhood with their mama.
26. What attracted the three sisters most during the trip
A. Walking on the dirt roads. B. Enjoying the roses.
C. Visiting a baseball field. D. Seeing the sunset.
27. What can we learn about Edna
A. She liked roses most. B. She was once a soldier.
C. She died a year after the trip. D. She had to care for her husband.

Experts are warning about the dangers of “fussy eating” after a 17-year-old living on a diet of chips suffered sight loss. Since leaving primary school, the teen had been eating only chips and white bread, as well as occasional meat.
The teenager, who cannot be named, saw a doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell. At that time he was diagnosed（诊断）with vitamin B12 deficiency（缺乏）and took supplements, but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet.
Three years later, he was taken to the Bristol Eye Hospital because of progressive sight loss. Dr Denize Atan, who treated him at the hospital, said, “He used to live on crisps, and not really any fruit or vegetables.” Dr Atan and her workmates rechecked the young man’s vitamin levels and found he was low in B12 as well as some other important vitamins. He was not overweight or underweight, but was badly malnourished（营养不良的）. In terms of his sight loss, he met the standard for being considered blind. “He had blind spots right in the middle of his vision.” said Dr Atan. “That means he can’t drive and would find it really difficult to read or watch TV.”
Nutritional optic neuropathy（视神经病变）－the condition the young man has－is treatable if diagnosed early. Left too long, however, the damage becomes permanent（永久的）.
Dr Atan said cases like this are thankfully uncommon, but that parents should be aware of the possible harm that can be caused by picky eating, and ask for help from experts. And they may offer some practical advice.
28. What does the underlined word “fussy” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Strict B. Different C. Picky D. Common.
29. What can we learn about this teenage when he was 14
A. He took his illness lightly. B. He was sporty and energetic.
C. He gave up the unhealthy diet. D. He refused to have a health check.
30. What did Dr Atan find after rechecking this teenager’s body
A. He would get well soon.
B. He went blind after living on chips.
C. He had corrected his vitamin B12 deficiency.
D. He was underweight because of a lack of nutrients.
31. What will the author write in the following paragraphs
A. The teen’s life after being treated.
B. The shocking findings about eyesight.
C. Some tips from experts on healthy eating.
D. Other cases of blindness caused by unhealthy habits.
D
When you think of a national park, you generally picture fresh air and wild animals, right Well, now you’re going to have to add tea shops and something called “the Underground” to your definition(定义), because London, England has signed up to be the first “National Park City.”
London was founded by the Romans around 2,000 years ago and people have continually lived there since then. In all that time, however, nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density(密度) than most of the world’s cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space.
In July 2019, London announced its willingness to become the world’s first National Park City. Now the city is moving toward the goal of achieving 50% green space by the year 2050 by connecting and increasing public parks, greening unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, and fixing some green roofs(屋顶) on existing buildings.
“ Encouraged by the aims and values of our rural(乡村的) national parks, the London National Park City is basically about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long-term thinking, ” Daniel Raven-Ellison, who began the movement to make London a National Park City six years ago, said. “We’ve been doing that in London for centuries, which is why London is so green.” It’s about going further to make the city greener, healthier and wilder; making the city richer in wildlife.
London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation(转变) than more densely-urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% green space, respectively. But that doesn’t mean it’s not possible--the National Park City Foundation hopes to include 25 more cities in addition to London by the year 2025. Glasgow, Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are both considering becoming National Park Cities.
32. What makes London more likely to become a National Park City than other cities
A. Its smaller population. B. Its locals’ requirements.
C. Its government’s strict law. D. Its wider area of green space.
33. Where can you find out about London’s measures to achieve its goal
A. In Paragraph 1. B. In Paragraph 2. C. In Paragraph 3. D. In Paragraph 4.
34. What does Daniel try to talk about in the fourth paragraph
A. The values of newly-founded parks. B. The importance of his movement.
C. The influence of green space on cities. D. The preparation for setting up a movement.
35. What would be the best title for the text
A. London is leading the world in park construction.
B. London becomes the world’s first National Park City.
C. London is listed as the world’s most-visited city.
D. London has built the world’s first underground park.

Learn how to improve spoken English with our five quick tips.
Repeat the language!
Repeat words and sentences over and over again until you can say them really fluently. 36 The more you say it, the more it becomes fixed in your brain, and then later when you’re speaking, it’ll come out naturally.
37 .
First, write out in note form the story you want to tell, and then using those notes, practise telling the story. Now this story could be something that happened to you or from a magazine. Just choose whatever you want, and practise telling it.
Memorise language!
38 You can do this by writing them out, or by speaking them out loud so that you’ll be speaking normally. And the more you do this, the more they’ll stick in your mind.
Simultaneous（同步的）speaking!
Simultaneous speaking－it sounds difficult but it’s quite easy. And it’s something as easy as, you take an audio file（音频文件）,and you listen along to it, and as you listen to it you read it at the same time. 39 So, you’re trying to copy the intonation（语调）, the pronunciation, the word stress（重音）, and the sentence stress.
Practise forming questions!
Look at a sentence and see if you can change that into a question. 40 So, for example, when seeing the sentence, “She’s seen the film,” you need to change it into the question, “Has she seen the film ” And the more you do this, the more fluent and quicker you’ll get at making questions.
A. Listen to English!
B. Practise telling stories!
C. But you can read your coursebook or a magazine.
D. Try and remember as many phrases and expressions as you can.
E. Making questions is quite difficult if you haven’t been practising it.
F. For example, say “I went to the shops, I went to the shops ” repeatedly.
G. And as you read it, you try to say it at the same time as the other person speaking.
