1 . Get up at 6 a.m., arrive at the hospital one hour earlier to help patients check in, and accompany patients during consultations... In recent years, the patient escort has emerged as a new occupation, and those who have taken on this career are known as “people who sell time”. 26-year-old Zhang Tian is one of them.
September 4, 2022 was a lucky day for Zhang Tian. On this day, Zhang Tian saw a video about patient escorts on a short video platform. The daily routine of patient escorts shown in the video fascinated her and inspired her to take this on as a business. She browsed through many platforms and searched for information and found there indeed exists a certain demand for patient escorts, especially for the elderly, children and pregnant women. Since she had never engaged in this kind of work before, she spent two days in major hospitals in Wuhan, in order to familiarize herself with all the departments on different floors, as well as the processes of medical consultations and preparations for surgery.
After the preparations, Zhang Tian posted a video of self-introduction on major social media sites, talking about the help and services a patient escort provides, as well as some tips for a quick and convenient medical consultation. At first, she was a little worried that her video would go unnoticed. However, after she uploaded the video, it got over 100 likes and she received her first offer as a patient escort.
The memory of her first task is still vivid in her mind. She received a phone call on September 9 from a man whose father was seriously ill and might need surgery. He wanted Zhang Tian to accompany his father through his consultation and treatment. Zhang Tian made all the preparations before meeting her first client and did a very good job despite her nervousness.
“Later, the family expressed their gratitude to me over and over again, which warmed my heart and gave me a sense of achievement,” Zhang Tian said.

6 . Changing jobs every couple of years used to look bad. It tells employers they can’t hold down a job, can’t get along with colleagues, or that they’re simply disloyal. That thought is fast outdated; the newcomers expect to continuously learn, develop, and advance in their careers.
There are a lot of arguments for changing jobs every few years. The economy isn’t what it used to be and never will be again. Workers who stay with a company longer than two years are said to get paid 50% less, and job hoppers (跳槽者) are believed to have a higher learning curve (曲线), and even to be more loyal, because they care about making a good impression in a short time and they know they’ll stay with each employer.
Patty McCord, former chief talent officer for Netflix, says young people should plan to change jobs every three to four years. “I think that the most important change in people’s thought is to view employees as smart contributors from the beginning. Everyone here wants to come in, do a great job, and contribute, then they either fit or they don’t. You build skills faster when changing companies because of the learning curve.” McCord says.
Why is the learning curve so high? Because job hoppers place themselves outside of their comfort zones constantly. They join companies, know they have to learn fast, make great impressions, and improve the bottom line. As a result, they’ re usually overachievers and learn a lot in a short time.
McCord adds: People used to think that the longer they kept an employee, the more worth they were to companies. In fact, an employee who stays on the job and isn’t learning at a really high rate is not doing good work. But the employees that job hunt are the most receptive of becoming extremely useful, very fast.
McCord believes that the learning curve nearly flattens after three years. If one wants to make a difference, he should leave. Employee retention (留任) is a big issue, and it makes employers anxious, says McCord. They’ve invested a lot in hiring big talent. To that, McCord has some advice: In 15 years, your company is growing rapidly because of all the high, job-hopping achievers that have come and gone.
1. Why are job hoppers more loyal?| A．Because their financial situation isn’t good. |
| B．Because they value good impressions in a short term. |
| C．Because they can get their pay to rise by 50% |
| D．Because they want to get no arguments with others. |
| A．Favorable | B．Opposed | C．Questionable | D．Uncertain |
| A．make a different impression | B．contribute more to society |
| C．become more knowledgeable | D．get more achievements |
| A．Employees’ loyalty | B．Employees’ talents |
| C．Employees’ stability | D．Employees’ learning curve |
| A．Job hoppers are more loyal. |
| B．Job hoppers have a higher learning curve. |
| C．You should switch jobs every few years. |
| D．You should walk outside of comfort zones. |
7 . What is a Food Critic
A food critic is a writer who specializes in writing criticisms of food. Like theater and movie critics, food critics are supposed to provide thoughtful, well-informed, and objective information to the public so that members of the public can make decisions about where to spend their money.
Becoming a food critic takes time. Many food critics pursue professional experiences in the world of food, attending culinary schools, working in restaurants, participating in farming, and so forth.
Professional integrity is very important for food critics. Many make reservations and visit restaurants anonymously, so that they get an idea of how a restaurant serves ordinary customers. They also make repeat visits so that they can make fair and balanced assessments of a restaurant and its offerings.
This is what food critics are like. They describe and evaluate the food, providing opinions on its quality.
| A．Food critics have the right to score the restaurant. |
| B．It's important for them to be familiar with varieties of food. |
| C．Avoidance of gifts from restaurateurs is also very important. |
| D．Therefore, they can learn about every aspect of the food industry. |
| E．After considering all aspects of the dining experience, they generate ratings. |
| F．Food critics primarily write about restaurants from fast food establishments to fancy restaurants. |
| G．Once a food critic has gained experience, he or she can start writing articles for magazines and newspapers. |

9 . Here are some jobs that let you make a direct impact on others’ lives.
A career advisor
Career advisors help to lighten graduates’ load, often working at high schools, colleges or universities. In addition to consulting with students to help them make career decisions, the advisors also help students practice important job-seeking skills. Although some employers prefer applicants to have a master’s degree in counseling (咨询), not all require one. Pursuing a bachelor of psychology or counseling is a great place to start.
A nutritionist
As far as industries go, health care likely offers the most jobs that help people. Nutritionists work in hospitals, schools or nursing homes to help create meal plans to improve the health of their clients (客户). Along with a bachelor’s degree in food and nutrition, clinical nutrition or a related field, you’ll need to be licensed in most states.
A personal trainer
Personal trainers work with people of all ages to build custom fitness plans. Along with performing physical assessments and creating training programs, personal trainers also inspire their clients to stick to a plan so they achieve desired results. You should have a college diploma, along with an associate’s degree in a health or fitness field, and you will need to pass an exam to receive your license.
A special education teacher
A special school can be a place for students with emotional, behavioral or learning challenges. Special education teachers are there to teach them to reach their full potential. As a special education teacher, you should plan and teach lessons according to students’ specific needs and abilities. Special education teachers must have a bachelor’s degree and a state-issued certification.
