The wind is getting stronger and there is a chance that it will rain. Though the weather is bad, Al Gehrke sits 110 floors above

15、 the ground, 442 meters above the earth. You may be wondering what he is doing so far off the ground. If you asked him, he would say, “I am just doing my job!”Al Gehrke has a very special job that not many people would want to have. He manages one of the tallest buildings in the world the Wills Towe

16、r in Chicago. His team washes and changes the windows. The Wills Tower has 16, 000 windows and each window weighs over 90 kilos. Gehrke and his team work from seven in the evening until four in the morning. They clean 18 windows each night. Each window takes almost 30 minutes. Al Gehrke is not afrai

17、d of high places and he is a good man for the job.Mary Ann also has an unusual job. Instead of hanging high above the earth washing windows, she works under the water. She trains dolphins for shows and also helps people to swim with the dolphins. She loves the dolphins. “We never tell a dolphin what

18、 to do. We ask them respectfully. They decide to do that for us because of the relationship we have,” she said. Besides washing windows high above the earth or swimming with big fish under the water, there are other unusual jobs that you have probably never thought of people having. Here is another

19、strange example: karaoke singers! A karaoke singer is someone who sings the songs of famous singers. The singer is able to follow the words of the songs because they appear on a computer in front of them. In Cyprus, karaoke singers are very popular. They sing to the people on holiday. As the visitor

22、me funny stories BWe usually see ancient plants or insects in amber(琥珀). But recently, a group of researchers found something unusual in amber a feathered tail!The tail includes bones, soft tissue and even feathers. It is 37 mm long, which is about the length of a matchstick. It looks like a plant a

23、t first sight. But researchers later identified(确定) it as part of the tail of a dinosaur that couldnt fly almost 100 million years ago.Xing Lida of Beijings China University of Geosciences discovered the amber in a market in Myanmar in 2015. “It is an amazing fossil(化石) and the finest details of fea

24、thers can be seen in 3-D.” he said.The researchers note in their paper that this finding is particularly special because, although dinosaur feathers have been found in amber before, we dont know which dinosaurs they came from. But this time researchers know more.The tail is likely to belong to a tin

25、y dinosaur called coelurosaur. Famous coelurosaurs include the T-rex(霸王龙) and Velociraptor(迅猛龙) the latter of which would finally evolve into birds.So with the “once in a lifetime” finding, can we hope for the possibility of a real Jurassic Park (侏罗纪公园)? In the movie series, scientists bring dinosau

26、rs back to life by getting their DNA from blood found in amber.But Canadian scientist Ryan Mckellar said that although soft tissue and blood of the tail were found in the amber, no genetic material was kept. “The Jurassic Park answer is still a no this is in the science fiction.” he said.29.

29、 to share housework any time soon. A study from Oxford University has found it seems impossible for men to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050. Mothers will continue to shoulder the burden(负担) of childcare and housework for the next forty years, largely because housework such as cleanin

30、g and cooking is still thought of to be “womens work”. The gap(鸿沟) has narrowed slowly over the past 40 years. Women expect true equality(平等). But what makes them down is that it will take another forty years before it is achieved. The research found that in the northern Europe, the burden of housew

31、ork is shared more equally between men and women. In the UK, a woman spends around four hours and forty minutes each day on housework, compared with two hours and twenty-eight minutes for men. This is an improvement from the 1960s, when British women typically(典型地) spent six hours a day on housework, while men spent just 90 minutes every day. But progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries. Dr Oriel Sullivan, a research reader, said, “weve looke
