What is your dream job, a pilot or a policeman? What do you hope your job is like? Here are three interesting stories about unusual jobs.
The sweetest job
Harry is only 12, but he is working for a sweet company. His job is probably the best in the company—the sweet tester. When a new sweet is invented (发明), Harry eats it, writes a report (报告) about it and sends his report to the factory. And then a decision (决定) is made about whether to make the sweet or not. He is not a regular worker (正式员工), but he gets free sweets!
Island blogger
Do you wish to live on an island and get paid? Ben got such a job, but it was hard work! He had to live alone (独自) in a house (with a swimming pool) on Hamilton Island and spent every day swimming, exploring (探索) and relaxing. Then he had to write a blog to show his findings and feelings.
Sleeping on the job
Usually, sleeping on the job is a big problem—if you fall asleep, you'll lose the job! But Roisin was once paid to sleep on the job. She slept in designer beds for eight hours a day, every day for a month, and tested (测试) them to see what makes "a good night's sleep". In the end, Roisin had to write a report about the beds.

解析：
【分析】
1. 第1题是主旨大意题，解题思路是关注文章的总起句，文章开头明确指出“Here are three interesting stories about unusual jobs.”，后续内容都是围绕三个有趣的工作展开，所以要选择和“有趣的工作”相关的选项。
2. 第2题是细节判断题，需要逐个对照原文内容分析选项：A选项文章只是提问读者的梦想工作，并非作者想当飞行员；B选项原文表明Harry得到的是免费糖果而非薪水；C选项原文明确提到Ben独自住在汉密尔顿岛；D选项Roisin是每天睡8小时测试床，不是游泳，据此判断正确选项。
3. 第3题是推理判断题，要分析文章内容的载体：文章是介绍特殊有趣的工作，适合在网站上供大众浏览，日记是个人记录、明信片内容简短、故事书多为虚构故事，都不符合文章的呈现形式，从而确定答案。
【解析】
1. 主旨大意题：文章首段点明主题“Here are three interesting stories about unusual jobs.”，后文分别介绍了糖果测试员、岛屿博主、床品测试员三个有趣的工作，因此文章主要内容是有趣的工作，故选A。
2. 细节理解题：
A选项：文章开头是询问读者的梦想工作，并非作者希望成为飞行员，该选项错误；
B选项：根据第二段“He is not a regular worker, but he gets free sweets!”可知，Harry获得的是免费糖果，没有薪水，该选项错误；
C选项：根据第三段“He had to live alone in a house (with a swimming pool) on Hamilton Island”可知，Ben独自住在汉密尔顿岛，该选项正确；
D选项：根据第四段“She slept in designer beds for eight hours a day”可知，Roisin每天睡8小时测试床，不是游泳，该选项错误。
综上，选C。
3. 推理判断题：文章介绍了三种特殊且有趣的工作，这类科普介绍类内容最有可能出现在网站上；日记是个人日常记录，明信片内容简短，故事书多为虚构创作，均不符合文章的性质，故选A。
【答案】
