How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a products quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道).Some people think that it would be easy to do this job:vc after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No theres more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next its time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy working at one cool job.( )41. What is John Harrisons job?   A. An official.         B. An ice-cream taster. C. A chemist.           D. An ice-cream manufacturer.( )42. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to _.   A. keep a diary of work                           B. have a degree in related subjects   C. have new ideas every day                    D. find out new flavors each day( )43. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?   A. He stirs the ice cream.                         B. He examines the color of the ice cream.   C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.    D. He lets the ice cream warm up.( )44. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?   A. Tasting with Eyes       B. Flavors of Ice Cream C. John Harrisons Life          D. One Cool Job B.Some people have the feeling that nothing can be done about their poor reading ability(能力) . They feel hopeless about it. Can you learn to read better or must you agree that nothing can be done about it?    To be sure, people are different. You cannot to do everything as well as certain other people do. It al the students in a class tried out for basketball, some would be very good players; others would be very poor; and many would be in between. But even the very poor players can become much better players if they are guided in the right way, and with plenty of practice. It is the same with reading. Some seem to enjoy reading and to read well without any special help. Others find reading a slow and tiring job. In between, there are all degrees of reading ability.    Many experiments have shown that just about every poor reader can improve his reading ability. In these experiments, the poor readers were given tests of reading ability After some of the causes of their poor reading were discovered, they were given special instruction and practice in reading. After a few months, another test of the same kind was given. In nearly all cases, these people had raised their reading scores.( )45. With the example of basketball players, the author shows_.A. why certain people are poor readersB. that there are differences in peoples abilitiesC. why some people are good basketball players D. that good basketball players can be good readers( )46.To improve their reading ability, people should _.A. work long and hard                         B. take different forms of testsC. have special help and practice                 D. try different reading materials( )47. The experiments mentioned in the text show that _.A. good readers seem to enjoy readingB. almost all poor readers can make progressC. causes of poor reading are difficult to find outD. tests help people improve their reading ability C Among rich countries , people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.     In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to “spend”a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be more satisfying work,or less satisfying personal lives.    Longer hours do of course increase the GDP (国内生产总值). So the United States has produced more per worker than, say,France.The United States also has more of its people at work,while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home.The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France,even though productivity per hour worked is the same.     It is not clear which of the two situations is better.As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in interest.It is too early to explain the different trends（趋势）in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance (平衡) ?( )48.From the text we know that the author      . A.believes that longer working hours is better B.prefers shorter working hours to longer ones C.says nothing certain about which pattern is better D.thinks neither of the patterns is good( )49.Which of the following countries has more of its people at work? A.Spain.                       B.France. C.Germany.                    D.America.( )50.In the last paragraph,the underlined word“which”refers to_. A.family life                 B.situations C.other values                 D.trends( )51.What message can we get from the text? A.The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America. B.Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US. C.People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer. D.Americans are happier than Europeans.( )52.Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A.Americans and Europeans       B.Staying at Home C.Work and Productivity          D.Work and Happiness D  A small town in southwest Britain is banning(禁止) plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut wastea step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.       Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.       Last month, San Franciso became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.       Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty (宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for a recveling.       The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman.
