一個(gè)人是否可以在做黑客的同時(shí)也是一個(gè)誠(chéng)實(shí)的人？是可以的。如果你從事道德黑客的職業(yè)，你必須充分利用你的計(jì)算機(jī)系統(tǒng)知識(shí)。你會(huì)在辦公室工作，并收獲高達(dá)20萬(wàn)美元的年薪。道德黑客和真正的黑客一樣，要進(jìn)入公司的電腦系統(tǒng)。不同的是，你要幫助公司找到并清除計(jì)算機(jī)系統(tǒng)中的故障。如果你對(duì)道德黑客這個(gè)職業(yè)感興趣，計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)的學(xué)位是一個(gè)加分項(xiàng)。參考譯文高爾夫球潛水員撿高爾夫球聽(tīng)起來(lái)是個(gè)又臟又累的工作。一個(gè)從水里撿高爾夫球的潛水員通常每周工作四天，每天撿大約4,000個(gè)球。他們一年的收入可以超過(guò)10萬(wàn)美元。如果你想成為一名高爾夫球潛水員，擁有潛水經(jīng)驗(yàn)是一個(gè)絕對(duì)的優(yōu)勢(shì)。你還得有能力應(yīng)對(duì)偶爾出現(xiàn)的深水猛獸。比如，在佛羅里達(dá)州，高爾夫球潛水員可能要與鱷魚(yú)打交道！奶酪雕塑師如果你喜歡藝術(shù)，也喜歡食物，或許你應(yīng)該嘗試用奶酪制作雕塑的工作。如今，以食物為基礎(chǔ)的雕塑在婚禮和派對(duì)上變得非常流行。而且如果你在工作的時(shí)候餓了，食物永遠(yuǎn)就在不遠(yuǎn)處。如果你覺(jué)得這是你夢(mèng)想中的工作，你就需要有創(chuàng)意和良好的動(dòng)手能力。有藝術(shù)學(xué)科的背景對(duì)于這份工作也會(huì)是一個(gè)優(yōu)勢(shì)。參考譯文AReadthestatements.WriteT(true)orF(false).FTFTF1.Ethicalhackersworkintheirownhomes.2.Agolfballdiverworkseveryweekday.3.Anethicalhackerhelpscompanies.4.Golfballdiversarewell-paid.5.Youcanonlyfindfood-basedsculpturesinsupermarkets.Readthethreestatements.Matchthepeopletotheirjobs.BChoosethebestanswer.C1.Accordingtothetext,whatdorealhackersandethicalhackershaveincommon?a.Theybothworkinoffices.b.Theybothgetintothecomputersystemsofcompanies.c.Theybothearnhighsalaries.2.Doesanethicalhackerneedacertaintypeofqualification?a.Yes,always.b.No,never.c.Sometimesbutnotalways.bcChoosethebestanswer.C3.Ifyouwanttobeagolfballdiver,__________isaplus.a.divingexperienceb.adegreeincomputersciencec.abackgroundinanartisticdiscipline4.Whatisdangerousaboutagolfballdiver’sjob?a.Underwatercreatures.b.Thewaterissometimesnotdeepenoughtodivesafely.c.Youriskgettingtoocoldafterspendinghoursoutsideunderwater.aaChoosethebestanswer.C5.Whereisacheesesculptorlikelytowork?a.Atanartschoolorartcollege.b.Atweddingsorparties.c.Atadairyfarm.6.Accordingtothetext,whatisthemainperkofthecheesesculptor’sjob?a.Thehighsalaryandworkingconditions.b.You’renevertoofarawayfromfood.c.Thechancetotravelandmeetinterestingpeople.bb1.It’sagoodideatorainwaterforuseinthegarden.2.Weneedtoproblemslikepollutionandclimatechange.3.Thelibrarycankeep300,000books.4.Hetheletterandreadit.5.Ilivefromthecollege,soIneedtotravelbybuseveryday.6.Ican’tmyhouse.I’velostmykey.Completethesentenceswiththewordorexpressionsfromtheboxes.getintocollectfarawaydealwithuptogetintodealwithcollectuptopickedupDpickedupfarawayChoosethecorrectwordstocompletethesentences.E1.Thanksfortellingmeaboutthis.Ireallyvalueyour_________(honest/honesty).2.Theworkwasnotwell-paidanditwasalsoreally_________(tiring/tired).3.Idon’teatalotofsweets,butIdoenjoythe_________(occasional/occasionally)barofchocolate.4.Hewasaveryfamous_________(sculpture/sculptor)whoworkedinFranceinthe19thcentury.5.She’sso_________(creative/creativity)!Idon’tknowwhereshegetsherideasfrom.honestytiringoccasionalsculptorcreativeWorkinsmallgroups.Howmanyjobscanyouwriteforeachletterofthealphabet?FSample:careersadviser;dancer;environmentalmanager;fashiondesigner;gamestester;hotelreceptionist;interpreter;journalist;kitchenassistant;lecturer;medicalrepresentative;nurse;officemanager;photographer;qualitycontroltechnician;roadworker;salesrepresentative;teacher;upholsterer;vehiclebodyrepairer;waiter;X-rayinspector;Yogateacher;zookeeperWORDS&EXPRESSIONSbugcollectdefinitedisciplinediverethicalhacker
