What’s your dream job? What do you think of working with penguins (企鹅)? Each year, the UK pays four people to live and work on Goudier Island from November to March.
The island is about the size of a football field. It’s home to hundreds of penguins. The four people need to keep it clean and serve thousands of tourists. They also need to count the penguins and collect environmental data.
The job offers people a totally different experience. People have a chance to stay close to penguins. And they can watch the sun go down and hear the ice melting. So lots of people would like to take it.
However, it’s not that perfect. For five months, workers have to live in a small house. They sleep in hard beds and share a single bathroom and a camping toilet. Visiting ships will offer showers when they stop by. Besides, they live without running water, the Internet or mobile phone service.
“It’s quite hard work,” explained an officer. “Workers may work 12 hours a day. They need to keep the island clean. They spend a lot of time brushing penguin poop (粪便) off rocks. There is not much time for rest and fun.”
Still, the job is very popular. Hundreds of people are willing to take it. One year, more than 2,500 people applied for (申请) it. Those who get the job will have a week’s training in Cambridge first. Then they will leave for Antarctica in October, where they will stay until March the next year. Depending on different work, people will get about 1,600 to 2,300 dollars each month.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
6. How long do these four workers need to stay on Goudier Island?

B. Goudier Island is very large in the UK.
C. Hundreds of people live on Goudier Island.
D. Penguins spend winter on Goudier Island.
8. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?

C. The popularity of the island. D. Living conditions on the island.

What do you think of black cats? Are they unluckier than cats of other colours? Many people in Western countries think so. For instance, people from countries like England and Romania believe that seeing this creature cross your path means bad luck.
Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and people’s understandings of cat personalities. The study found that people do judge cat personalities by colour. Scientists did a survey on the Internet. There were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colourings with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi-coloured (双色的) cats are friendly, tri-coloured (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. As for black cats, people don’t think they have special personalities.
But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets? People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation. They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween. Movies and television shows also make people believe that.
Although people have these ideas, UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: people don’t think black cats are pretty enough. After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats. “It’s the personality of the cat, not the colour, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” Cathy Marden, a scientist said.
