Amy is good at making pies, which got her hired at the Good Times restaurant months ago. And she was often regarded as the best worker there. Recently, she became the supervisor at the restaurant. She was kind and friendly to all the other workers and the customers.

One morning, Amy was taking orders when she overheard a conversation. “What you did there was great, Mason! It was hard to carry the old lady safely out of the fire. For a moment, I thought you were gone, my friend,” one man said. To this, the other man replied, “Yeah, it was difficult, but that’s our job. And you were the hero today, Gordon. You carried that girl on your shoulder and her dog in your hand. It’s going to be on the front page tomorrow, I’m telling you.”

From their clothing and conversation, Amy knew they were firefighters. And she quickly realized that they had been talking about the previous night’s fire at the old motel on the other end of the road. Then the man named Gordon continued, “I don’t care about being in the papers. The little girl and her dog reminded me of my own daughter. She’s constantly asking for a dog, too.” Amy was moved by the courage and sincerity of the two men. She wanted to show her appreciation for their selfless service.

Paragraph 1:

6 . Candy Funhouse, an online retailer (零售商) of candy treats from chocolate bars to gummies (软糖) and licorice (甘草糖), is hiring for a $78,000 a year, work-from-home job as its Chief Candy Officer. The job includes: “leading candy board meetings, being the head taste tester... and all things fun.”

Several thousand candidates have already applied for the position, which was posted on LInkedIn in July, said Chief Executive Officer Jamal Hejazi. He noted that he’s been surprised by such a huge number of “golden ticket” themed applications and even some carefully prepared videos of entire families offering to share the tasting duties and salary.

Candy Funhouse, based outside of Toronto, is headed by a quartet of siblings whose parents owned donut shops and a local restaurant. “My brother Mo, a candyhead, founded it in 2018 and my mother was employee No. 2”, said Hejazi, adding that he and a younger sister and brother later joined the firm.

The family hoped to distinguish their company from other highly successful online competitors such as Mars, Hershey and Amazon with a weird mix of products, no minimum orders   — “we’ll sell one lollipop (棒棒糖)” — and a strong push on social media.

The company said the Chief Candy Officer position is open to applicants as young as five years old — although parental permission would likely be required. Many parents have filmed their child filling out the application and posted it online.

Hejazi also noted that reports on social media claiming that the Chief Candy Officer will be required to eat 3, 500 pieces of candy per month are incorrect. (That number represents the different varieties the company stocks.) “That would be 117 a day,” Hejazi said. “That’s too many!”

1. What is the duty of a Chief Candy Officer?

A．Tasting candies.	B．Selecting board members.
C．Paying staffs.	D．Making Chocolate bars.

2. What can be inferred about applicants?

A．Their fun will soon disappear.	B．They have to share salary with their family.
C．They may face fierce competitions.	D．Their parents must approve their applications.

3. What’s the difference between Candy Funhouse and its competitors?

A．It offers special discounts.	B．It doesn’t set limits on customers’ orders.
C．It focuses on a single kind of product.	D．It doesn’t rely on social media.

4. How did Hejazi feel about the reports on social media?

A．They are wonderful.	B．They are incomplete.
C．They are unreasonable.	D．They are boring.
