  • 1. (2021八上·临安月考) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

    What are you going to be when you grow up? Maybe a teacher, a doctor or a scientist? How about an ice-cream taster? There is really a job where you can get paid by tasting ice-cream. And this is what Feng Yuanyuan now does.

    Feng Yuanyuan, born in 1995, has worked at an ice-cream company for two years. Her main role is to taste and test ice-cream products(产品). Usually she tastes more than ten ice-creams a day, but sometimes she has to taste over twenty ice-creams. After eating one, she needs to wash her mouth with lots of warm water so as to comfort her tongue. Through this taste-testing, Feng makes more than 10,000 yuan a month, more than most of her college classmates. However, a by-product of eating so much ice-cream is that she is getting fat. "I need to take exercise every day to keep in shape," said Feng.

    "To be an ice-cream taster, a person needs to have a sensitive(敏感的) tongue and he must really like ice-cream. Many people may become tired of ice-cream easily if they have to eat it every day, so a good ice-cream taster isn't easy to find," said Feng.

    This cool job keeps Feng Yuanyuan busy but happy. She's also very happy that the company's products sell well. "After more than a year's hard work, I can tell if an ice-cream has additives(添加剂) just by tasting it. I hope that in the future I can find out what a product is made from with only one bite," Feng said.
