(2024·广东广州·三模)Watermelons are a favorite fruit, especially in the hot summer months. They are not only delicious but also fun to eat. With the rise of online shopping, more people are buying watermelons on the Internet. This trend has led to a special job: the watermelon quality tester.
Lee, a 32-year-old man, is busy during the summer. He works as a quality checker for a group of farmers who grow watermelons. Every day, he checks thousands of watermelons to make sure they are perfect before they are sent to warehouses from where they will be sold online. To check a watermelon, Lee holds it near his ear and taps it gently with his fingers. By listening to the sound, he can tell if the watermelon is ripe (成熟) or ready to be eaten.
The practice of checking watermelons by tapping on them is common in many countries, especially in China, where it is seen as a way to find the best fruit. Many people give the watermelon a little tap before buying it to make sure they are getting a good one. Some even do this just to get a better price, pretending to know what the different sounds mean.
As more people shop for fruits online, there has been an increasing need of experts like Lee who can judge the quality of fruits with their hands. Their job is to make sure that each watermelon chosen for online sales is similar in size and quality.
Lee, who used to be a successful soccer player, now describes himself as a “goalkeeper for watermelons”. He gave up soccer about four years ago and learned about melon-knocking as a new career and decided to learn from an experienced farmer.
After a year’s training and practice, he became skilled enough to work independently as a quality checker. “It is a tough job. There are just no shortcuts,” he said. During his learning period, he often had to cut open watermelons to check if his judgements of their ripeness were correct.
28.What has led to the increasing need for watermelon quality testers?
A.A rise in online watermelon sales. B.The popularity of watermelons.
C.An increase in watermelon prices. D.The big harvest of watermelons.
29.What can we learn about Lee from the passage?
A.He grows watermelons of good quality.
B.He has become a skillful quality checker now.
C.He regretted giving up his career as a soccer player.
D.He can tell if a watermelon is ripe by its appearance.
30.What can we learn from Lee’s words in the last paragraph?
A.Seeing is believing. B.Every man has his value.
C.Great efforts and practice matter. D.Excellence can be found in any career.
31.In which section of the magazine would you probably read this passage?
A.Food and Fitness. B.Science and Technology.
C.Online Business. D.Career Choices.

(2024·广东广州·三模)Watermelons are a favorite fruit, especially in the hot summer months. They are not only delicious but also fun to eat. With the rise of online shopping, more people are buying watermelons on the Internet. This trend has led to a special job: the watermelon quality tester.
Lee, a 32-year-old man, is busy during the summer. He works as a quality checker for a group of farmers who grow watermelons. Every day, he checks thousands of watermelons to make sure they are perfect before they are sent to warehouses from where they will be sold online. To check a watermelon, Lee holds it near his ear and taps it gently with his fingers. By listening to the sound, he can tell if the watermelon is ripe (成熟) or ready to be eaten.
The practice of checking watermelons by tapping on them is common in many countries, especially in China, where it is seen as a way to find the best fruit. Many people give the watermelon a little tap before buying it to make sure they are getting a good one. Some even do this just to get a better price, pretending to know what the different sounds mean.
As more people shop for fruits online, there has been an increasing need of experts like Lee who can judge the quality of fruits with their hands. Their job is to make sure that each watermelon chosen for online sales is similar in size and quality.
Lee, who used to be a successful soccer player, now describes himself as a “goalkeeper for watermelons”. He gave up soccer about four years ago and learned about melon-knocking as a new career and decided to learn from an experienced farmer.
After a year’s training and practice, he became skilled enough to work independently as a quality checker. “It is a tough job. There are just no shortcuts,” he said. During his learning period, he often had to cut open watermelons to check if his judgements of their ripeness were correct.
28.What has led to the increasing need for watermelon quality testers?
A.A rise in online watermelon sales. B.The popularity of watermelons.
C.An increase in watermelon prices. D.The big harvest of watermelons.
29.What can we learn about Lee from the passage?
A.He grows watermelons of good quality.
B.He has become a skillful quality checker now.
C.He regretted giving up his career as a soccer player.
D.He can tell if a watermelon is ripe by its appearance.
30.What can we learn from Lee’s words in the last paragraph?
A.Seeing is believing. B.Every man has his value.
C.Great efforts and practice matter. D.Excellence can be found in any career.
31.In which section of the magazine would you probably read this passage?
