26、 Are you always dreaming of getting paid for just showing up to work? To the best of luck, the Korsvagen train station in Sweden will offer a special occupation to one lucky person in 2025! The comfortable lifetime position comes with a generous starting monthly pay of 21,564 SEK ($2,320), a guaranteed (有保证的) yearly pay increase of 3.2 percent, and even vacation time.
The position was put forward by Swedish artists Simon Goldin and Jakob Senneby in answer to a design competition for the Korsvagen train station, which is now under construction and planned to open in 2026. Instead of presenting an artistic design, Goldin and Senneby suggested using the 7,000,000 SEK ($753,000) prize money to hire a lifetime employee to do nothing! Surprisingly, the unusual idea appealed to the judges of the competition, who adopted the suggestion and announced their decision to carry out the Eternal (终生的) Employment Project.
The job only requires the lucky employee to arrive at the station each morning and ring the clock, which will turn on a bank of bright lights. The person can remain at the station all day —greeting passengers, texting friends, or even sleeping — or leave and return at the end of the day to clock out.
The job is guaranteed for life as long as he/she obeys these simple requirements and does not accept any other employment. Though the job sounds like a waste of life, the artists believe the employee will be doing important work to act as a witness (见证) of time.
The best part is that people from all over the world can apply to be considered for this unique position equally — be sure not to miss it!
【1】Which of the following best explains “appealed to” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Attracted. B. Panicked. C. Bothered. D. Amused.
【2】What must the employee do according to his/her duty?
A. Contact friends. B. Work part-time.
C. Welcome passengers. D. Ring the clock each morning.
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Lifetime Job to Be Offered for Doing Nothing
B. How the Eternal Employment Project Was Born
C. Swedish Artists Won a Design Competition
D. An Outstanding Employee Wanted

28、Dr Dian Fossey, one of the world’s leading women scientists, had a remarkable career. The work she devoted her life to protecting and studying the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) of Africa—has proved highly effective and has resulted in the steady (平稳的) increase of this most endangered great apes.
Fossey made her first trip to Africa in 1963. Three years later, she returned to Africa to begin a long term study of the mountain gorillas. She set up camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo but moved to Rwanda because of political reasons in 1967. She established her “Karisoke” Research Centre camp on September 24,1967.
Fossey’s aims were to study gorilla ecology(生态学) and social organization. She found that in order to achieve this, she needed to recognize individual gorillas, which required that the gorillas get used to her presence(出现). By copying gorillas’ behaviour and sounds, Fossey began to gain their trust, and in 1970 an adult male gorilla she had named “Peanuts” reached out to touch her hand.
Close observations over thousands of hours enabled Fossey to gain the gorillas’ trust and bring forth new knowledge about their behaviour. Stories and photographs of her work were published in National Geographic Magazine and elsewhere.
In 1977, one of Fossey’s favorite gorillas, Digit, was killed by poachers and she established the Digit Fund to help raise money for gorilla protection efforts in the same year.
On December 26, 1985, Fossey was murdered while going back to her house in Karisoke. Her body was discovered near the research centre. Most probably? Dian Fossey had been killed by the poachers she’d fought against. On her tombstone (墓碑): “No one loved gorillas more...”
In 1988, the life and the work of Fossey were made into a movie based on her book.

A. sell drugs against the law

29、 “Food is the first necessity of the people” is a famous Chinese old saying, which reflects that Chinese have paid much attention to food since the ancient times. The importance of food in people’s daily life in China can be seen in the way they send greetings to each other, “Have you eaten?”, which is far away from the way people greet in western countries and has been seen as a characteristic of Chinese culture.
Food in China generally includes rice, wheat, buckwheat, corn, potato, sweet potato, beans and varieties of vegetables.

Generally, people living in South China pay more attention to nutrition and prefer delicate, tasty and refreshing food such as rice porridge and soup; however, spicy hotpot is always people' s favorite in the southwest areas due to the wet and rainy climate. And, people living in North China prefer wheaten food such as Jiaozi, noodles, while all kinds of steamed bun and beef and mutton are most popular in northwest areas.
