The Most Trending Professions in 2023
Referee (裁判) or other sports official
Average hourly wage: $24.86
Sports continue to be one of the nation’s favorite leisure activities. Sports officials who can keep the games fair are needed everywhere. Some on-the-job training is required, along with perhaps more than a little patience for fans and players.
Physician assistant
Average hourly wage: $57.43
Physician assistant is another health care role that has more responsibilities than a nurse but less than a doctor. Working with a physician, the workers can handle duties such as finding out patients’ disease, ordering medical tests and setting broken bones. These jobs require a master’s degree along with required certificates.
Project management specialist
Average hourly wage: $53.32
If you have experience helping others turn their great ideas into finished products, this could be the right role for you. A project management specialist needs a bachelor degree, but doesn’t have to follow a fixed working time.
Teacher
Average hourly wage: $33.43
Teaching has long been a popular job for older adults, whether they’ve been doing it for years or they choose it as a second career. While most public schools do require teachers to have a degree in education, many private schools are willing to hire teachers who come from other professions.

As an art graduate, I have always considered myself an artist. However, my journey as a jewelry maker began with an earring-making experience during the pandemic (疫情) when businesses were shutting down.
I struggled with large amounts of time, unemployed and unmotivated. I didn’t know what to do until my friends suggested we make something “cute” from clay (粘土). He was in a rut as well and was looking for an opportunity to get refreshed. While searching online, I was attracted by the photos of beautiful earrings. Thinking about my own possible designs, for the first time in so long, brought me excitement.
I began making my first pair once the materials arrived. I rolled, baked, and connected the clay pieces again and again, trying to make the combination perfect. It took me almost six hours to complete, leaving me with cuts all over my hands due to the repeated use of tools. While the earrings were still not perfect, I felt proud and eager to do better.
Afterwards, I officially started my jewelry-making journey by setting up an Instagram account to display my creations and to seek out other artists. Thanks to their help, I built upon my skills and found myself improving. Later on, I began receiving messages from interested buyers, which encouraged me much. Surprisingly, my creations were bought and worn by more and more people, shipped across the country, and carried in luggage as gifts or souvenirs.
Now I am lucky enough to have a full-time job where I have less time to create. But I’ll never give it up since it is creating jewelry that reminds me of my passion as an artist.
24. What does the underlined phrase “in a rut” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Stuck in self-criticism. B. Leading a dull life.
C. Tired from a busy schedule. D. Struggling for fame.
25. Which best describes the author’s earring-making experience in Paragraph 3
A. Painful. B. Perfect.
C. Rewarding. D. Disappointing.
26. What helped the author improve her jewelry-making skills
A. Recognition from buyers. B. Lessons from the past.
C. Encouragement from friends. D. Help from other artists.
27. What’s the main idea of this text
A. Clay art won me great fame.
B. Making jewelry helped me out.
C. Making jewelry built my character.
D. Clay art fueled my passion for business.
C
There are some fascinating data about the world’s forests! About 30 percent of the earth’s land is covered in forests, and 300 million people call forests home. A further 1.6billion people rely on forests to survive.
Now, keeping these numbers in mind, consider this fact: the world loses over 32million acres of forest each year. When forests disappear, we not only miss out on all the ways they make us healthier, we also lose an essential resource. This is why preserving forests, and nature, is more important than ever. The key is to connect with nature, for example, forest bathing.
In the way that forest bathing requires, we start to experience and appreciate all its beauty and benefits, through involvement with nature by using all our senses. Many governments, businesses, and institutions have realized the importance of this and have created plans to deepen mutually beneficial relationships between people and nature. It’s not just wild forests that need attention, urban parks and forests are equally important. Despite losing trees to real estate (房地产) developments and road construction, many cities have found creative ways to introduce more trees and forests. In Paris, for example, a nineteenth century railway was turned into a park that stretches nearly three miles. There’s one more thing that’s essential to the protection of forests -----helping children connect with nature. Not only is this good for their overall well-being, but studies show that children who spend time in nature become adults who understand the importance of protection. Around the world, many schools have started using parks and green spaces as classrooms. Measures like these will help ensure that future generations can also enjoy the benefits of forests.
28. Why does the author list the data of the world’s forests in Paragraph 1
A. To highlight their significance. B. To illustrate their economic value.
C. To present their unique features. D. To introduce their basic information.
29. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Close contact with nature. B. Great loss of forest.
C. Harmonious relationship with nature. D. Creative plans for development.
30. What influence does interacting with nature have on children
A. It benefits their future career.
B. It improves their academic performances.
C. It provides chances for having fun in forests.
D. It raises their life-long environment awareness.
31. Which column of a newspaper is this text probably taken from
A. Sports. B. Tourism.
C. Environment. D. Agriculture.
D
Some wounds won’t heal by themselves. These chronic (慢性的) wounds cause long-term suffering and even become deadly if not successfully treated. The existing treatments often require surgery or lead to worse situations.
For a study published in Science Advances, biomedical engineer Wei Gao and his colleagues used mice to test a “smart bandage” that could make chronic wound healing easier and faster. It consists of a flexible polymer sticker (聚合物贴片) that sticks to the skin, containing medication and a thin covering of electronics that monitors and wirelessly sends data about the wound’s condition. The sticker can carry out controlled delivery of two treatments: a drug and an electric current.
Based on previous medical treatments, which use electricity to attract immune and skin cells to the wound and stimulate cell growth, the smart bandage adds biochemical sensing capabilities. It can monitor the condition and provide information about infection and the healing stage. Gao and his colleagues also added a special gel (凝胶) to the bandage that releases drug when activated by electricity.
The team tested the bandage on mice and found that it accurately detected the changes at different stages of wound healing. Each individual treatment achieved at least partial healing within two weeks, and untreated animals did not heal.
“Requirements for the lifetime of the device are very different between mice and human subjects,” Jiang says. As they head toward human testing, the team is working to improve accuracy. “We hope to apply this smart bandage technology in humans in the next year,” Gao says. “Hopefully the information we get can really benefit people with chronic wounds.”
32. What is Paragraph 2mainly about
A. The benefits of the bandage.B. The designers of the bandage.
C. The working theory of the bandage.D. The operating procedure of the bandage.
33. What’s the function of the special gel
A. It releases drug.B. It senses biochemical changes.
C. It provides information on cells.D. It monitors the wound’s condition.
34. What is Wei Gao’s attitude towards the future of the smart bandage
A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Unclear.
35.What is the author’s purpose of writing this text
A. To praise the creativity of scientists.
B. To introduce a new type of bandage.
C. To stress the importance of innovation.
D. To present the danger of chronic wounds.

Andy, a 15-year-old boy, and his mother Emily didn’t have much in life, living daily with just enough to eat three meals and pay the bills. Without his mother knowing, Andy had been saving up his pocket money for months to buy her a birthday present. He had collected a total of $25.
As a cleaner at a nearby park, Emily never took a bus, choosing to walk to and from work to save money. One day, Andy noticed that her mother came home wet to the skin. She told him her umbrella broke because of the strong wind and she wanted to get home in time to have dinner with him.
The following day, his mother woke up with a fever. “Mom, I’m sure you have to stay in bed today” Andy told her. “I’ll look after you. Here is your medicine,” he said, handing her a glass of water. Then, Andy left the house and walked towards the nearby supermarket to buy vegetables with which to cook some soup for his mother.
It occurred to him that his mother’s birthday was in a couple of days, so he decided to get his mother an umbrella first and spend the rest of his money on food.
“What is your strongest umbrella here, sir ” he asked the shop assistant. “I am looking for one that won’t break easily.” The man showed Andy a variety of umbrellas. Andy believed the purple one would be the best choice, his mother’s favorite color. It was $22. Andy almost jumped with joy! The boy was happy that he managed to lend his mom a hand by finding her something she really needed. Also, he even had some money to spare!
Stepping out of the shop with the gift and vegetables in his shopping bag, Andy realized it was starting to rain. He was running to a nearby bus stop to seek shelter with other people when he noticed an old lady walking slowly and struggling for a balance. It was pouring down. Without hesitation, he took the umbrella out of his bag and ran over.

An Artist I Know
An artist I know is Frida Kahlo, who has a great impact on my life.
Kahlo was a Mexican painter who used her art to share her unique perspective and experience of life. Her powerful paintings, filled with symbolism and lively colors, reflect her optimism and strength in the face of personal tragedy.
Her firm determination to create despite her physical challenges is truly inspiring. She reminds me that art has the power to transform and heal, and that we should embrace our vulnerabilities / weaknesses and differences. What a great artist she is!

Paragraph 1:
One possible version:
The old lady looked up and realized an umbrella was sheltering her from the rain.
She cast him an appreciative look with a beam of delight.“Thank you. And by the way, it’s wise to get an umbrella before the rain started pouring,” she said. Andy shook his head, telling her that his mom’s umbrella was broken, and that he had just bought her that new one.“I didn’t expect that. But it must be very nice to have a caring boy like you,” she replied, gently patting him on the shoulder. Andy accompanied the old lady to the bus stop and carefully put away his umbrella after wiping off the raindrops though it was still raining .
Paragraph 2:
One possible version:
Anxious about his sick mom, Andy rushed home, all over wet. Andy arrived home and his mother asked why he had been out for so long. Andy briefly told her his experience on his way home without speaking of the umbrella. “That’s my boy,” smiled Mom with a proud look. Andy giggled shyly, putting a cold towel on Mom’s forehead. When his mother’s birthday arrived, Andy excitedly woke up to give his mom the present box. “Happy birthday! Mom!” exclaimed Andy, his eyes sparkling with thrill. Touched by her son’s efforts, Emily opened the gift and was surprised to see the umbrella inside. Tears began to gather in her eyes and she went to hug Andy tightly.
