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?

1.What kind of job is the job of watching paint dry?______

A.It is very boring and needs patience.

B.Its salary is higher than other jobs.

C.The employees only need to watch the colors.

D.Many creatures are examined under a microscope.

2.What is the aim of the job of an iceberg mover?______

A.To be in memory of the movie Titanic.

B.To test the speed of boats pulling icebergs.

C.To do a search for life in the sea.

D.To prevent any more accidents on the sea.

3.What can we learn about the job of luggage organizer from the text?______

A.It is suitable for children to do. B.It is an easy job.

C.It is a full-time job. D.It is expensive to hire one organizer.

The English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different

ways and in many different expressions.

One such example is the word matter. In fact, matter can mean just about anything.

It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.

Let's get to the heart of the matter — a matter of principle (原则).

If someone says that you owe him $50, but you don't, a friend might say, “Well,

you could pay him the $50. It's not that much money. Then you won't have to hear him

say it anymore.” But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. It's a

matter of principle.

There is another way to use the word matter. But be careful with your choice of

words.

If you ask someone, “What's the matter?”, it shows you are worried about the other

person. But saying, “What's the matter with you?” has a completely different meaning.

And it usually sounds rude. In fact, when you say, “What's the matter with you?”, you

are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.

Another expression that could sound rude is to say, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here,

it depends on the context, and how you say it.

Let's say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person

answers with, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it means he or she does not care. And it

sounds rude.

But saying, “Oh, you pick where we eat dinner. It doesn't matter to me.” does not

sound rude. In this situation, “it doesn't matter” shows you are easy-going.

No matter how you look at it and what you say, matter is a very useful word. And

it's only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter.

4. We can infer from the text that the word matter _____.

A.has a wide use B.can mean money

C.is the most used English word D.has the most different expressions

5. What is the author's suggestion in Paragraph 4?

A.Every penny counts. B.Stick to what is right.

C.Follow your friend's advice. D.Be careful when making friends.

6. The underlined word “context” in the text probably means _____.

A.choice B.person C.situation D.answer

7. The author develops the text mainly by _____.

A.using examples B.giving instructions

C.describing his experiences D.discussing research findings

Travelling to China is like travelling to another world. Its many famous beautiful

places will make you lose yourself in them. However, it is usually not enough for a

traveller only to visit these nice places. If you have time to see the local people, talk

with them and even have dinner with a local family, it would be a wonderful

experience, to know more about the local people’s life style at home in China.

New Hope Travel Agency will arrange a family visit to Xi’an, an ancient historic

city in China. We especially have chosen typical local families to host this activity in

which you can see the true living style of Chinese people. Most of the hosts retired (退

休) at home, so they are happy to see visitors from different countries to come to their

homes.
