The best jobs in the world？
Chocolate consultant
This could well be the ultimate job for anyone with even the ____1____ passion for chocolate – and yes, jobs like these do exist. There are lots of different types of chocolate consultant. Louise Thomas has worked in the chocolate industry for two years and been ____2____ about chocolate. She became ____3____ by the lack of education and awareness regarding fine chocolate, so started her own company to share her love of the cocoa bean. She now runs tastings to find a(n) ____4____ chocolate for every customer or to extend their range. If you don’t yet have what it takes to be a chocolate consultant you can still work with chocolate as a pastry chef.
LEGO ____5____
Who hasn’t at some point in their life sat down in front of a box of Lego and ____6____ about building (or helping someone to build) a fantastic creation in multi-colored blocks For some people this becomes more than just something you did as a kid. Lego has a number of ____7____ who work with the company to create sets and build models for them.

However, competition for the jobs is ____8____, with estimates varying as to exactly how many there are in the world – from nine to 30.

Shark Tank Cleaner

Professional Sleeper
____12____ you’re addicted to your alarm o’clock or spend all day at your desk yawning and drinking cups of coffee to stay awake, then maybe you should consider turning your comments into a profitable career.

When I re-entered the full-time workforce a few years ago after a decade of lonely self-employment, there was one thing I was looking forward to the most: the opportunity to have work friends once again. It wasn't until I entered the corporate world that I realized, for me at least, being friends with colleagues didn't emerge as a(n) ___31___ at all. This is surprising when you consider the prevailing emphasis by scholars and trainers and managers on the importance of cultivating close ___32___ relationships at work. So much research has explored the way in which collegial（同事的）ties can help overcome a range of workplace issues ___33___ productivity and the quality of work output such as team-based conflict, jealousy, undermining anger, and more.
Perhaps my expectations of lunches, water-cooler gossip and caring, deep-and-meaningful conversations were a ___34___ of the last time I was in that kind of office environment. Whereas now, as I near the end of my fourth decade, I realize work can be fully functional and entirely fulfilling without ___35___ to be best mates with the people sitting next to you.
In an academic analysis just published in the profoundly-respected Journal of Management, researchers have looked at the concept of "indifferent relationships", a simple term that summarizes the fact that relationships at work can ___36___ be non-interpersonal, inconsequential, unimportant and even, dare I say it, disposable or substitutable.
Indifferent relationships are neither positive nor negative. The limited research conducted thus far indicates they're especially ___37___ among those who value independence over cooperation, and harmony over confrontation. Indifference is also the ___38___ option among those who are socially lazy. Maintaining relationships over the long term takes effort, which, for some of us, is much too ___39___.
As noted above, indifferent relationships may not always be the most ____40____ approach in resolving some of the issues that pop up at work. But there are nevertheless several apparently proven benefits. One of those is ____41____. Less time chatting and socializing means more time working and churning(产出).
The other is ____42____. As human beings, we're programmed to compare ourselves to each other in what is an anxiety-causing phenomenon. Apparently, we look down on acquaintances(泛泛之交)more so than friends. Since the former is very common among those ____43____ to indifferent relationships, their predominance can promote individuals' sense of self-worth.
Ego aside, a third advantage is that the emotional ____44____ of indifferent relationships has been found to enhance critical evaluation, to strengthen one's focus on task resolution, and to gain greater access to valuable information. None of that might be as ____45____ as after-work socializing but, hey, I'll take it anyway.
31．A．burden B．priority C．obligation D．coincidence
32．A．short-term B．contractual C．shallow D．interpersonal
33．A．affecting B．enhancing C．measuring D．restoring
34．A．cause B．credit C．consequence D．realization

40．A．traditional B．cautious C．flexible D．helpful
41．A．image B．efficiency C．profit D．expansion
42．A．self-respect B．self-improvement C．self-evaluation D．self-control
43．A．resistant B．unique C．open D．essential
44．A．feature B．neutrality C．reaction D．conflict
45．A．exhausting B．meaningful C．fun D．popular
A recent research finds that successful professional women are healthier and live longer on average than housewives. In contrast, the ____46____ are usually in poorer health than the job-holders. It also shows that when the unemployment rate goes up by 1%, the death rate ____47____ by 2% accordingly.
Actually, many previous studies point to the ____48____ conclusion: work, especially success in work, is ____49____ to health. Here are their ____50____.
Working together, people feel that they ____51____ a certain group. Such kind of belonging is very ____52____ to their health. ____53____, they feel isolated (孤立的) and lonely. It affects people both ____54____ and physically.
Success in work gives people a sense of ____55____ and makes people feel happier. For example, teachers feel very ____56____ when they see their students making rapid progress. Successful ____57____ give doctors a sense of power to save people's lives. For ____58____, the excitement in completing their books can be beyond ____59____.

When I re-entered the full-time workforce a few years ago after a decade of lonely self-employment, there was one thing I was looking forward to the most: the opportunity to have work friends once again. It wasn't until I entered the corporate world that I realized, for me at least, being friends with colleagues didn't emerge as a(n) ___31___ at all. This is surprising when you consider the prevailing emphasis by scholars and trainers and managers on the importance of cultivating close ___32___ relationships at work. So much research has explored the way in which collegial（同事的）ties can help overcome a range of workplace issues ___33___ productivity and the quality of work output such as team-based conflict, jealousy, undermining anger, and more.
Perhaps my expectations of lunches, water-cooler gossip and caring, deep-and-meaningful conversations were a ___34___ of the last time I was in that kind of office environment. Whereas now, as I near the end of my fourth decade, I realize work can be fully functional and entirely fulfilling without ___35___ to be best mates with the people sitting next to you.
In an academic analysis just published in the profoundly-respected Journal of Management, researchers have looked at the concept of "indifferent relationships", a simple term that summarizes the fact that relationships at work can ___36___ be non-interpersonal, inconsequential, unimportant and even, dare I say it, disposable or substitutable.
Indifferent relationships are neither positive nor negative. The limited research conducted thus far indicates they're especially ___37___ among those who value independence over cooperation, and harmony over confrontation. Indifference is also the ___38___ option among those who are socially lazy. Maintaining relationships over the long term takes effort, which, for some of us, is much too ___39___.
As noted above, indifferent relationships may not always be the most ____40____ approach in resolving some of the issues that pop up at work. But there are nevertheless several apparently proven benefits. One of those is ____41____. Less time chatting and socializing means more time working and churning(产出).
The other is ____42____. As human beings, we're programmed to compare ourselves to each other in what is an anxiety-causing phenomenon. Apparently, we look down on acquaintances(泛泛之交)more so than friends. Since the former is very common among those ____43____ to indifferent relationships, their predominance can promote individuals' sense of self-worth.
Ego aside, a third advantage is that the emotional ____44____ of indifferent relationships has been found to enhance critical evaluation, to strengthen one's focus on task resolution, and to gain greater access to valuable information. None of that might be as ____45____ as after-work socializing but, hey, I'll take it anyway.

Working together, people feel that they ____51____ a certain group. Such kind of belonging is very ____52____ to their health. ____53____, they feel isolated (孤立的) and lonely. It affects people both ____54____ and physically.
