29、   Are you always dreaming of getting paid for just showing up to work? To the best of luck, the Korsvagen train station in Sweden will offer a special occupation to one lucky person in 2025! The comfortable lifetime position comes with a generous starting monthly pay of 21,564 SEK ($2,320), a guaranteed (有保证的) yearly pay increase of 3.2 percent, and even vacation time.

The position was put forward by Swedish artists Simon Goldin and Jakob Senneby in answer to a design competition for the Korsvagen train station, which is now under construction and planned to open in 2026. Instead of presenting an artistic design, Goldin and Senneby suggested using the 7,000,000 SEK ($753,000) prize money to hire a lifetime employee to do nothing! Surprisingly, the unusual idea appealed to the judges of the competition, who adopted the suggestion and announced their decision to carry out the Eternal (终生的) Employment Project.

The job only requires the lucky employee to arrive at the station each morning and ring the clock, which will turn on a bank of bright lights. The person can remain at the station all day —greeting passengers, texting friends, or even sleeping — or leave and return at the end of the day to clock out.

The job is guaranteed for life as long as he/she obeys these simple requirements and does not accept any other employment. Though the job sounds like a waste of life, the artists believe the employee will be doing important work to act as a witness (见证) of time.

The best part is that people from all over the world can apply to be considered for this unique position equally — be sure not to miss it!

【1】Which of the following best explains “appealed to” underlined in Paragraph 2?

A. Attracted. B. Panicked. C. Bothered. D. Amused.

【2】What must the employee do according to his/her duty?

A. Contact friends. B. Work part-time.

C. Welcome passengers. D. Ring the clock each morning.

【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. A Lifetime Job to Be Offered for Doing Nothing

B. How the Eternal Employment Project Was Born

C. Swedish Artists Won a Design Competition

D. An Outstanding Employee Wanted
