Teacher, Lawyer, Doctor—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 don’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 traveling 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 each other. 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.

In 2016, I suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD) a form of depression(抑郁症) that is found to make people feel low in the UK between September and April. During that cold and wet period, I got comfort in books.
Books have been used by many to reduce depression. I lose myself into them as thirstily as usually get my morning coffee. Each Christmas, I have a habit of returning to the old favorite books that make up for my emptiness, such as Jane Eyre. Sometimes, to escape from the cold, I run back to the heat that I am used to, so I will read a lot of books set in Africa.
It became important for me to find a way to escape my sadness in the world of books. And isn’t that what art and literature is for According to JJ Bola, the author of No Place to Call Home, “The world can get you so down that you think you’re the only person going through what you’re going through. But then you read and you realize that you are not alone that if someone else has gone through it and survived, then maybe you can, too.” It is this survival that the reader looks for, that is, the understanding that the winter is not so long after all.
25. What was the possible cause for the author’s illness

C. Sleeplessness. D. Cold and wet seasons.

Are you always looking at your mobile phone as you’re walking, playing with it as you’re studying, and reluctant to put it down as you go to bed Tired of a life controlled by their mobile phones, many young people seem to be intent on working out how to overcome it.
One of the popular gadgets is the mobile phone isolation box. Users simply put their mobile phone in the box and set a time lock that will ban them from having access to the phone for a set time. Some boxes allow users to respond to emergencies. These isolation boxes can be adapted to almost all types of mobile phones on the market. The locking time generally ranges from one minute to 12 hours, and the price is generally about 100-200 Yuan. Xianfeng Technology, one of the sellers on Taobao says: “Our main customers are students and office workers. They usually ask for engraving some inspirational quotes on the box when buying. Some parents who feel their children are wasting time on Douyin and ruining their studies are also buying them. This physical box is much better than software on phones.” Xianfeng’s after-sales comment section is filled with positive comment from buyers who say the box has helped them become more self-disciplined.
However, Lin Tianqi, a college student says, because the lock time is set by users, whether they can achieve their goal depends on the individual. A five-hour lockup is too harsh, she says, but one of her friends locks the box for just 30 minutes, she seems to cheat herself. Liang Wenyu, another college student, sneers at these “flashy” attempts. “Regardless of the effectiveness of the isolation box, you might as well lock yourself up. As simple as that.” he says. “I can understand why they need these blood pumping quotes on the box — because they lack discipline. How about simply taking back your time. Self-disciplined people are bound to succeed without such gimmicks.”
29. What can we learn about the mobile phone isolation box
A. It adapts to all types of mobile phones.
B. It allows users to use their mobile phones for a set time.
C. It has good market prospects.
D. It helps users abandon their mobile phones.
30 What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. The lock time is a key factor for self-disciplined.
B. Self-discipline is up to the person, not an isolation box.
C. Two college students’ views on isolation box are unreasonable.
D. The isolation box needs improving due to its ineffectiveness.
31. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Many young people attempt to stay away from mobile phones.
B. Different views on the mobile phone isolation box.
C. The mobile phone isolation box is used to help reduce mobile phone use.

The concept “China chic”, or guochao, has become popular in recent years. According to relevant data, from January to July 2022, the search volume for “Guochao” as a keyword has increased by 392. 66% year on year. Big Data Report of 2021 Guochao Pride Search from Baidu revealed that the level of interest in guochao has skyrocketed in the past 10 years. Domestic（国内 的）products are in fashion, and domestic consumption has increasingly become an important choice for the new generation of consumers.
China chic mixes unique cultural elements with the latest trends in various industries, which not only satisfies younger consumers' needs for pursuing personality and fashion, but also plays a role in bringing back traditional culture. The rise of China chic is the result of China's rapid economic development and has some cultural motivations behind it. Besides, the continuous improvement of the consumption power of Chinese people is an important reason for the rise of China chic.
Most importantly, cultural confidence is the driving force for the rise of China chic. Five thousand years of Chinese civilization has left us a rich cultural heritage. Guochao is, in many ways, the perfect representative of the new wave of Chinese nationalism. Starting in the fashion industry, this trend shows Chinese consumers' newfound interest in Chinese cultural heritage. The guochao trend is at its strongest among young adults who live in an even more powerful China and thus have a strong feeling of national pride. China's national strength is increasing, and its soft power is also on the rise. Even so, we still have a long way to go to carry forward this China chic. But as it has become a part of people's lives, no doubt there will even be more diverse China chic products showing Chinese charm in the future.

A. It has not often been searched in Baidu.
B. It has gained great popularity among Chinese.
C. It has attracted consumers of older generation.

C. Remained stable. D. Changed slightly.
34. Which factor for the rise of China chic is NOT mentioned
A. The rapid economic development of China.
B. Cultural confidence from rich cultural heritage.
C. Government's measures to bring back traditional culture.
D. The continuous improvement of Chinese consumption power.
35. What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A. The selection of China chic products is limited.
B. China chic has little influence on people's lives.
C. China chic still needs developing and improving.
D. The author is disappointed at the future of China chic.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Recently, I have read an article about the mental state of teenagers, which said that despite better living conditions, teenagers are becoming unhappier.
Why are teenagers unhappier For one thing, teenagers have more difficulty in getting along with others for lack of time, which makes them feel lonely. For another, they suffer from too much pressure of study, causing them easier to be depressed.
Therefore, action must be taken to improve it. To begin with, teenagers should be encouraged to take activities to form harmonious interpersonal relationship. Besides, parents need to listen to their children more, which can show respect and promote understanding. I am convinced that with our joint efforts, the situation will be gradually improved.

Jim was walking down a dimly lit street late on evening, hoping to see his lovely children as soon as possible. As he was walking quietly, Jim heard muffled (低沉) screams coming from behind some bushes. Alarmed (惊慌的), Jim stopped to listen carefully. He realized that what he was hearing was the unmistakable (清楚明白的) sound of a struggle. Thinking of the danger, he became frightened.
Only yards from where Jim stood, a girl was being attacked. Jim didn’t know what to do. Should he get involved in it He was worried about his own safety. He was wandering whether he should just run to the nearest phone and call the police or went to fight with the attacker (攻击者) to save the unknown girl.
As he suffered from inward struggle, the girl’s cries were growing weaker. Jim knew he had to act fast. Yet he knew he couldn’t just walk away from this. He realized that he could not turn his back on the fate (命运) of this unknown girl, even if it meant risking his own life.
Jim was not a brave man, nor was he athletic (健壮的). Even he himself didn’t quite know where he found the moral courage and physical strength. However once he was determined to help the girl, he became strangely transformed (转变). He ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the girl, who panicked very much. Seeing Jim prevent him, the attacker became crazy and began to fight with him. Jim became fearless and then fell to the ground, where they wrestled (摔跤) for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up and escaped. Jim felt very tired and he couldn’t catch the attacker.
Paragraph 1:
Watching the attacker run into the darkness, Jim thought of the girl.

【答案】Watching the attacker run into the darkness, Jim thought of the girl. Breathing hard, Jim rose from the ground and walked towards her. The girl was sitting behind the bushes, sobbing. Although in the darkness Jim could hardly see the girl clearly, he could certainly sensed her trembling shock. Not wanting to frighten the girl further, Jim at first spoke to her from a distance. Jim said soothingly that the attacker had ran away and she was safe. There was a long pause and then he heard some words from the girl.
“Dad, is that you ”asked the girl in wonder and amazement as she walked from behind the bushes. To Jim’s shock, there stood Jim’s youngest daughter, who began crying. Hugging his daughter, Jim also cried. After the police arrived, they told them about the attacker in detail. He felt it was a right decision to rush to fight with the attacker. Now in his daughter’s eyes, Jim is a brave man and a hero without fearing any danger.

In 2016, I suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD) a form of depression(抑郁症) that is found to make people feel low in the UK between September and April. During that cold and wet period, I got comfort in books.
Books have been used by many to reduce depression. I lose myself into them as thirstily as usually get my morning coffee. Each Christmas, I have a habit of returning to the old favorite books that make up for my emptiness, such as Jane Eyre. Sometimes, to escape from the cold, I run back to the heat that I am used to, so I will read a lot of books set in Africa.
It became important for me to find a way to escape my sadness in the world of books. And isn’t that what art and literature is for According to JJ Bola, the author of No Place to Call Home, “The world can get you so down that you think you’re the only person going through what you’re going through. But then you read and you realize that you are not alone that if someone else has gone through it and survived, then maybe you can, too.” It is this survival that the reader looks for, that is, the understanding that the winter is not so long after all.
25. What was the possible cause for the author’s illness

C. Sleeplessness. D. Cold and wet seasons.
26. The author likes reading old favorite books because they help him________.

Are you always looking at your mobile phone as you’re walking, playing with it as you’re studying, and reluctant to put it down as you go to bed Tired of a life controlled by their mobile phones, many young people seem to be intent on working out how to overcome it.
One of the popular gadgets is the mobile phone isolation box. Users simply put their mobile phone in the box and set a time lock that will ban them from having access to the phone for a set time. Some boxes allow users to respond to emergencies. These isolation boxes can be adapted to almost all types of mobile phones on the market. The locking time generally ranges from one minute to 12 hours, and the price is generally about 100-200 Yuan. Xianfeng Technology, one of the sellers on Taobao says: “Our main customers are students and office workers. They usually ask for engraving some inspirational quotes on the box when buying. Some parents who feel their children are wasting time on Douyin and ruining their studies are also buying them. This physical box is much better than software on phones.” Xianfeng’s after-sales comment section is filled with positive comment from buyers who say the box has helped them become more self-disciplined.
However, Lin Tianqi, a college student says, because the lock time is set by users, whether they can achieve their goal depends on the individual. A five-hour lockup is too harsh, she says, but one of her friends locks the box for just 30 minutes, she seems to cheat herself. Liang Wenyu, another college student, sneers at these “flashy” attempts. “Regardless of the effectiveness of the isolation box, you might as well lock yourself up. As simple as that.” he says. “I can understand why they need these blood pumping quotes on the box — because they lack discipline. How about simply taking back your time. Self-disciplined people are bound to succeed without such gimmicks.”
29. What can we learn about the mobile phone isolation box
A. It adapts to all types of mobile phones.
B. It allows users to use their mobile phones for a set time.
C. It has good market prospects.
D. It helps users abandon their mobile phones.
30. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. The lock time is a key factor for self-disciplined.
B. Self-discipline is up to the person, not an isolation box.
C. Two college students’ views on isolation box are unreasonable.
D. The isolation box needs improving due to its ineffectiveness.
31. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Many young people attempt to stay away from mobile phones.
B. Different views on the mobile phone isolation box.
C. The mobile phone isolation box is used to help reduce mobile phone use.
D. Self-discipline is of great importance.

The concept “China chic”, or guochao, has become popular in recent years. According to relevant data, from January to July 2022, the search volume for “Guochao” as a keyword has increased by 392. 66% year on year. Big Data Report of 2021 Guochao Pride Search from Baidu revealed that the level of interest in guochao has skyrocketed in the past 10 years. Domestic（国内 的）products are in fashion, and domestic consumption has increasingly become an important choice for the new generation of consumers.
China chic mixes unique cultural elements with the latest trends in various industries, which not only satisfies younger consumers' needs for pursuing personality and fashion, but also plays a role in bringing back traditional culture.

Besides, the continuous improvement of the consumption power of Chinese people is an important reason for the rise of China chic.
Most importantly, cultural confidence is the driving force for the rise of China chic. Five thousand years of Chinese civilization has left us a rich cultural heritage. Guochao is, in many ways, the perfect representative of the new wave of Chinese nationalism. Starting in the fashion industry, this trend shows Chinese consumers' newfound interest in Chinese cultural heritage. The guochao trend is at its strongest among young adults who live in an even more powerful China and thus have a strong feeling of national pride. China's national strength is increasing, and its soft power is also on the rise. Even so, we still have a long way to go to carry forward this China chic. But as it has become a part of people's lives, no doubt there will even be more diverse China chic products showing Chinese charm in the future.
32. Which statement reflects China chie's situation in recent years
A. It has not often been searched in Baidu.
B. It has gained great popularity among Chinese.
C. It has attracted consumers of older generation.
D. It has been widely accepted in different cultures.
33. What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in the first paragraph mean
A. Risen sharply. B. Dropped obviously.
C. Remained stable. D. Changed slightly.
34. Which factor for the rise of China chic is NOT mentioned
A. The rapid economic development of China.
B. Cultural confidence from rich cultural heritage.
C. Government's measures to bring back traditional culture.
D. The continuous improvement of Chinese consumption power.
35. What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A. The selection of China chic products is limited.
B. China chic has little influence on people's lives.
C. China chic still needs developing and improving.
D. The author is disappointed at the future of China chic.
