10.What do you want to be when you grow up?A teacher?A doctor?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 21years.Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product's quality.During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream-as well as for developing over 75flavors(味道).
Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all,you just have to like ice cream,right?No-there's 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 60ice-cream samples.He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12°F.Harrison explains,"You get more flavor from warmer ice cream,which is why some kids like to stir(攪拌)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 it's 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.

21.What is John Harrison's job?D
A.An official.
B.An ice-cream manufacturer.
C.A chemist.
D.An ice-cream taster.
22.According to John Harrison,to be qualified in the"cool field",it is helpful toC.
A.think up new ideas every day      
B.keep a diary of daily work
C.have a degree in related subjects    
D.find out new flavors each day
23.What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?B
A.He stirs the ice cream.
B.He lets the ice cream warm up.
C.He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.
D.He examines the color of the ice cream.
24.Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?A
A.One Cool Job                  
B.Flavors of Ice Cream
C.Tasting with Eyes               
D.John Harrison's Life.

5.The character"duang"is so new that it does not even exist in the Chinese dictionary.But it has already spread like wildfire online in China,appearing more than 8 million times on China's micro-blogging site Weibo,where it spawned a top-trending hashtag (標(biāo)簽) that drew 312,000 discussions among 15,000 users.On China's biggest online search engine Baidu,it has been looked up almost 600,000 times.It's been noticed in the West too.
But what does it mean?"Everyone's duang-ing and I still don't know what it means!Looks like it's back to school for me,"said Weibo user Weileiweito.Another user asked:"Have you duang-ed today?My mind is full of duang duang duang.""To duang or not to duang,that is the question,"wrote user BaiKut automan.
"Duang"seems to be an example of onomatopoeia (擬聲詞 ),a word that phonetically imitates a sound.It all seems to have started with Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan,who in 2004 was featured in a shampoo commercial where he said famously defended his sleek (光亮的),black hair using the rhythmical-sounding"duang".The word resurfaced again recently after Chan posted it on his Weibo page.Thousands of users then began to flood Chan's Weibo page with comments,coining the word in reference to his infamous shampoo appearance.
The word appears to have different meanings,and there's no perfect translation,but you could see it as an adjective to give emphasis to the word that follows it.A kitten might be"duang cute",for example.Or you might be"very duang confused"by this blog.For readers of Chinese cha racters,the Jackie Chan theme is also apparent from the quirky way in which the word is written:a combination of Chan's Mandarin names.
29.From what the persons mentioned in Paragraph 2,we can learnD.
A.duang is popular among students
B.young users can use duang freely
C.using duang is recognized as a fashion
D.different persons have their own understanding of duang
30.Why did Jackie Chan use the word duang in 2004?C
A.To invent a new character.
B.To advertise for an action film.
C.To show off his good hair in an ad.
D.To ask his fans to flood his Weibo page.
31.The underlined word"quirky"in the last paragraph probably meansB.
A.modern            
B.unusual
C.imaginable          
D.interesting
32.What's the purpose of the writer in writing the passage?A
A.To introduce readers of a new character.
B.To warn readers not to follow others.
C.To criticize Jackie Chun for his mistake.
D.To welcome a new invention.
