Feeling a bit bored with your job and fancy a change? Why not try one of these jobs out? They're probably not to everyone's taste, but believe it or not, these are actually real jobs done by real people.
Here are the top 5 weirdest(怪异的，不可思议的) jobs in the world:
Professional sleeper:
A hotel in Finland hired a member of staff as a 'professional sleeper' to test the comfort of their beds. The individual sleeps in a different one of the hotel beds each night and writes a review about her satisfaction with each one.
2. Drying paint watcher:
No, this isn't a joke. Someone actually earns a living watching paint dry. A man in the UK currently has the job and he spends his days painting sheets of cardboard to test how long new paint mixes take to dry and watching for changes in color and texture.
3.Train Pusher:
If you think the London Underground is bad, you should see the trains in Japan. 'Oshiyas' are hired to help cram as many people onto a train as possible by pushing them from the outside until the doors will close.
4. Snake Milker:
Not for the light-hearted. The job of a snake milker is to collect the venom of poisonous snakes in jars for use in anti-venoms(抗蛇毒素) and other medication. Thank god someone's brave enough!
5.Scuba Diving Pizza Delivery Man:
If the fact that there's an underwater hotel in Florida isn't bizarre(奇异的) enough, to add on to that, they have a scuba diving(水肺潜水) pizza delivery man who supplies them with pizza by carrying them through the sea in a watertight case(防水箱).
Do you do an unusual job? We'd love to hear about it, so let us know!
21. In which job is a job-seeker's strength a necessity?
A. Scuba Diving Pizza Delivery Man B. Train Pusher

B
Moving flight time from night to day could reduce air travels contributions to global warming，a new study suggests.Scheduling more daytime flights may reduce the influence of contrails—the visible (看得见的)lines of white steam(白色的蒸汽) that many planes leave behind them in the sky.
The role of contrails in climate change is still being studied，but some scientists believe they contribute to the greenhouse effect by trapping heat in the atmosphere.
Nicola Stuber，first author of the study，suggests that contrails’ overall impact on climate change is almost as big as that of aircraft’s carbon dioxide emissions(排放)over a hundred?year period.Aircraft are believed to be responsible for 2%－3% of human carbon dioxide emissions.Like other high，thin clouds，contrails reflect sunlight back into space and cool the planet.However，they also trap energy in the atmosphere and increase the warming effect.
Stuber and other scientists believe that the effect of the contrails is big.“On average，the greenhouse effect controls the effects of contrails，” said Stuber，a meteorologist at England’s University of Reading.“The warming effect is far greater for contrails left by night flights，” Stuber added.“The cooling effect only happens during the day when the sun is up.During the night the greenhouse warming is no longer balanced and that is why the contribution of night flight is so large.”
Most commercial airline traffic occurs during daylight hours.For example，only one in four United Kingdom flights is a night flight，but those flights create some 60% of the warming created by contrails，the study reports.
24．How do contrails increase the greenhouse effect?
A．They give off heat.
B．They absorb daylight.
C．They trap heat in the atmosphere.
D．They reflect sunlight back into space.
25．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Carbon dioxide emissions.
B．Contrails.
C．Flights.
D．Thin clouds.
26．What did Stuber explain about the contrails in Paragraph 4?
A．What their function is.
B．How they cool the Earth.
C．Why they create big warming at night.
D．How big their effect is.
27．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Airlines Should Schedule Flights
B．Night Flights Face a New Challenge
C．Airplane Contributes Most to Global Warming
D．More Day Flights May Reduce Global Warming
C
When we talk about positive thinking, we often use terms having to do with our hearts— open heart, pure heart or joyful heart. But new research from Duke University is making a closer connection, finding that a positive attitude may be helpful to people who have angina （心绞痛）, a common heart condition.
Symptoms of this condition include chest pain or pressure because the heart is not receiving sufficient oxygen. Patients who displayed optimistic thought patterns, including having positive expectations about recovery, were 40 percent less likely to be hospitalized or require surgery than those who were not optimistic, according to the study. The researchers collected data from 2,400 patients who had diagnoses of angina.
An interesting additional finding from the patients' questionnaires was that the most optimistic patients were also the least likely to have histories of heart attack, heart failure or heart disease.
The researchers did not declare a causal relationship between positive thinking and better heart disease outcomes, however. There are multiple possible reasons for the results of the study, including the idea that patients who are healthier to begin with are more likely to expect to recover and regain good health.
But the study does represent a new way of looking at the situation. Now, in addition to a body of research that examines the relationship between depression and heart health, there is a new way of inquiry that asks whether positive thinking could be used as a strategy to improve outcomes.
Lead researcher Alexander Fanaroff, a fellow in the department of cardiology （心脏病学） at the Duke University Medical Center, told the Duke Chronicle that his next research question will find ways to improve attitudes among heart patients.Perhaps his subjects could reflect on the word of the writer Anthony J. D'Angelo： "Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart."
28. How can people with angina get better according to the study?
A. By expecting more. B. By thinking positively.
C. By getting timely surgery. D. By taking more exercise.
29. What may be Alexander Fanaroff抯 next research?
A. To explore how to improve patients' attitudes.
B. To find out the ways to treat heart patients.
C. To learn the causes of heart diseases.
D. To test if positive attitudes help with health.
30. What can we learn from the text?
A. Optimistic people hardly get heart attack.
B. People's attitudes decide their overall health.
C. How positive thinking benefits heart health is unclear.
D. The reason why patients recover well is that they have no depression.
31. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Keep positive to get rid of illness B. Angina, a kind of serious condition
C. Depression, a key cause of heart attack D. Positive thinking makes hearts healthier
D
In a long璼leeved shirt and jeans, Dieudonne Twahirwa looks nothing like the traditional African farmer. The 30?year?old owner of Gashora Farm knows what a difference that makes.
“You need more role models，” he said, standing among knee?high rows of chilli(辣椒) plants. “If you have young farmers, having land and driving to the farm, others may think, ‘Why can’t I do that？’”
Mr. Twahirwa, a university graduate, bought a friend’s tomato farm six years ago for $150. He made $1，500 back in two months. “You have to link farming with entrepreneurship and real numbers，” he said.
Many young Africans are abandoning areas in the countryside, choosing not to work hard and for a long time in the fields—a job made tougher by climate change.
But Twahirwa is one of the growing band of successful farmers working to make agriculture’s image on the continent more attractive. Some 1，000 farmers now produce chillies for him. He is starting a fourth farm of his own, and exports fresh and dried chillies and oil to Britain, the United States, India, and Kenya.
Africa has the world’s youngest population and 65 percent of its uncultivated arable land(耕地后备资源). Yet accessing land and loans is difficult, and African productivity is low with crop yields just 56 percent of the international average.
“Agriculture is mainly associated with suffering and no young person wants to suffer，” said Tamara Kaunda. She believes African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its old?fashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe. “Show young people tractors, green fields, nice irrigation systems and smartphones，” she said.
Getting young people involved in agriculture does not mean they have to work on a farm. For example, in coffee production, the beans go from the farm to the washing station, then to be separated from the husks(外壳)．
32．What does “Why can’t I do that？” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Why can’t I drive to the farm?
B．Why can’t they farm?
C．They follow the example of those farmers.
D．They bought a friend’s tomato farm.
33．What makes it harder for farmers to work?
A．Poor land. B．Climate change.
C．Low income. D．Long working hours.
34．What can we learn about Twahirwa according to paragraph 5?
A．He made a fortune by growing chillies.
B．His chillies are superb in the world.
C．Farmers working for him live a simple life.
D．The locals aren’t willing to buy his chillies.
35．When it comes to agriculture in Africa, what do people think about it?
A．Loans are difficult.
B．Most land is uncultivated.
C．Crop yields are rather low.
D．Farming methods are out of date.

Paragraph 1
Love began to cry. She felt desperate for she could ask no one for help. Just as she thought she was doomed to sink to the bottom of the ocean with this island, she heard a deep voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me." It was an elder standing on a boat. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder.
Paragraph 2
Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me to leave?" "It was Time,” Knowledge answered. "But why did Time help me when no one else would?”Love asked. Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.”

Moving flight time from night to day could reduce air travels contributions to global warming，a new study suggests.Scheduling more daytime flights may reduce the influence of contrails—the visible (看得见的)lines of white steam(白色的蒸汽) that many planes leave behind them in the sky.
The role of contrails in climate change is still being studied，but some scientists believe they contribute to the greenhouse effect by trapping heat in the atmosphere.
Nicola Stuber，first author of the study，suggests that contrails’ overall impact on climate change is almost as big as that of aircraft’s carbon dioxide emissions(排放)over a hundred?year period.Aircraft are believed to be responsible for 2%－3% of human carbon dioxide emissions.Like other high，thin clouds，contrails reflect sunlight back into space and cool the planet.However，they also trap energy in the atmosphere and increase the warming effect.
Stuber and other scientists believe that the effect of the contrails is big.“On average，the greenhouse effect controls the effects of contrails，” said Stuber，a meteorologist at England’s University of Reading.“The warming effect is far greater for contrails left by night flights，” Stuber added.“The cooling effect only happens during the day when the sun is up.During the night the greenhouse warming is no longer balanced and that is why the contribution of night flight is so large.”
Most commercial airline traffic occurs during daylight hours.For example，only one in four United Kingdom flights is a night flight，but those flights create some 60% of the warming created by contrails，the study reports.
24．How do contrails increase the greenhouse effect?
A．They give off heat.
B．They absorb daylight.
C．They trap heat in the atmosphere.
D．They reflect sunlight back into space.
25．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Carbon dioxide emissions.
B．Contrails.
C．Flights.
D．Thin clouds.
26．What did Stuber explain about the contrails in Paragraph 4?
A．What their function is.
B．How they cool the Earth.
C．Why they create big warming at night.
D．How big their effect is.
27．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Airlines Should Schedule Flights
B．Night Flights Face a New Challenge
C．Airplane Contributes Most to Global Warming
D．More Day Flights May Reduce Global Warming
C
When we talk about positive thinking, we often use terms having to do with our hearts— open heart, pure heart or joyful heart. But new research from Duke University is making a closer connection, finding that a positive attitude may be helpful to people who have angina （心绞痛）, a common heart condition.
Symptoms of this condition include chest pain or pressure because the heart is not receiving sufficient oxygen. Patients who displayed optimistic thought patterns, including having positive expectations about recovery, were 40 percent less likely to be hospitalized or require surgery than those who were not optimistic, according to the study. The researchers collected data from 2,400 patients who had diagnoses of angina.
An interesting additional finding from the patients' questionnaires was that the most optimistic patients were also the least likely to have histories of heart attack, heart failure or heart disease.
The researchers did not declare a causal relationship between positive thinking and better heart disease outcomes, however. There are multiple possible reasons for the results of the study, including the idea that patients who are healthier to begin with are more likely to expect to recover and regain good health.
But the study does represent a new way of looking at the situation. Now, in addition to a body of research that examines the relationship between depression and heart health, there is a new way of inquiry that asks whether positive thinking could be used as a strategy to improve outcomes.
Lead researcher Alexander Fanaroff, a fellow in the department of cardiology （心脏病学） at the Duke University Medical Center, told the Duke Chronicle that his next research question will find ways to improve attitudes among heart patients.Perhaps his subjects could reflect on the word of the writer Anthony J. D'Angelo： "Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart."
28. How can people with angina get better according to the study?
A. By expecting more. B. By thinking positively.
C. By getting timely surgery. D. By taking more exercise.
29. What may be Alexander Fanaroff抯 next research?
A. To explore how to improve patients' attitudes.
B. To find out the ways to treat heart patients.
C. To learn the causes of heart diseases.
D. To test if positive attitudes help with health.
30. What can we learn from the text?
A. Optimistic people hardly get heart attack.
B. People's attitudes decide their overall health.
C. How positive thinking benefits heart health is unclear.
D. The reason why patients recover well is that they have no depression.
31. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Keep positive to get rid of illness B. Angina, a kind of serious condition
C. Depression, a key cause of heart attack D. Positive thinking makes hearts healthier
D
In a long璼leeved shirt and jeans, Dieudonne Twahirwa looks nothing like the traditional African farmer. The 30?year?old owner of Gashora Farm knows what a difference that makes.
“You need more role models，” he said, standing among knee?high rows of chilli(辣椒) plants. “If you have young farmers, having land and driving to the farm, others may think, ‘Why can’t I do that？’”
Mr. Twahirwa, a university graduate, bought a friend’s tomato farm six years ago for $150. He made $1，500 back in two months. “You have to link farming with entrepreneurship and real numbers，” he said.
Many young Africans are abandoning areas in the countryside, choosing not to work hard and for a long time in the fields—a job made tougher by climate change.
But Twahirwa is one of the growing band of successful farmers working to make agriculture’s image on the continent more attractive. Some 1，000 farmers now produce chillies for him. He is starting a fourth farm of his own, and exports fresh and dried chillies and oil to Britain, the United States, India, and Kenya.
Africa has the world’s youngest population and 65 percent of its uncultivated arable land(耕地后备资源). Yet accessing land and loans is difficult, and African productivity is low with crop yields just 56 percent of the international average.
“Agriculture is mainly associated with suffering and no young person wants to suffer，” said Tamara Kaunda. She believes African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its old?fashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe. “Show young people tractors, green fields, nice irrigation systems and smartphones，” she said.
Getting young people involved in agriculture does not mean they have to work on a farm. For example, in coffee production, the beans go from the farm to the washing station, then to be separated from the husks(外壳)．
32．What does “Why can’t I do that？” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Why can’t I drive to the farm?
B．Why can’t they farm?
C．They follow the example of those farmers.
D．They bought a friend’s tomato farm.
33．What makes it harder for farmers to work?
A．Poor land. B．Climate change.
C．Low income. D．Long working hours.
34．What can we learn about Twahirwa according to paragraph 5?
A．He made a fortune by growing chillies.
B．His chillies are superb in the world.
C．Farmers working for him live a simple life.
D．The locals aren’t willing to buy his chillies.
35．When it comes to agriculture in Africa, what do people think about it?
A．Loans are difficult.
B．Most land is uncultivated.
C．Crop yields are rather low.
D．Farming methods are out of date.
