of culture.發(fā)布：2024/5/23 20:38:36組卷：1引用：2難度：0.91172．Killer whales in Alaska's Bering Sea have figured out an easy way to get fed.Instead of seeking out the fish themselves，the clever whales chase down fishing boats and steal the entire catch of the day，as much as 20，000 to 30，000 pounds.
Killer whale "thieves" are not a new phenomenon.Japanese fishermen have reported being followed by killer whales since the 1950s.However，the increasing frequency of whale fish theft in the Bering Sea's continental shelf is now threatening the livelihood of fishermen.
Paul Clampitt，a local fisherman，says his crew tried to keep the whales away with loud sounds.Though that worked for a short time，the whales now consider the noise " a dinner bell".Jay Herbert tried using sonar to keep the whales away.He also met with little success.According to the experienced fisherman，the smart whales deliberately seek out longliners（延繩釣漁船），and，all the first opportunity presented to them，steal the fish，leaving behind just the lips of the fish caught!
NOAA Fisheries biologist John Moran is not surprised at the whales' thieving skill.The expert says whales are skilled hunters who can distinguish between the sounds of different boats and even recognize the sounds of the operating system that places the fishing equipment into the ocean.The expert jokes，"Grabbing a fish off a line is nothing." Since they are social animals，it is easy for whales to pass their skills on to others.
Killer whales are not the only whale species that have learned to steal from humans.In the Gulf of Alaska，sperm whales also conduct similar thefts.Longline fishermen off Washington，Chile，Australia，Hawaii，and many other countries have reported similar incidents.There is，unfortunately，no easy fix to this problem.One of the possible solutions is using pot traps similar to the ones used to catch crabs.However，the cost of switching from longline to pot fishing is too high，especially for small-scale fisheries.There is also no guarantee that the catch will be safe from the intelligent whales who，many fear，will eventually figure out how to open the pots!

For some having two jobs is a necessity—a way to make ends meet and provide extra income.But it now seems that more people want to put their skills and passions into practice to make money.These tend to be entrepreneurial young people who want to work on their own projects alongside their main source of income.
According to Henley Business School，around one in four workers run at least one side hustle business half of which were started in the past two years.Those aged 25 to 34 are most likely to be involved，with 37 percent thought to run a sideline of some kind.It calculates that the average side hustler makes about 20 percent of their income through their second job.
But what's interesting is that many millennials（千禧一代）are turning their hand to new jobs not just for money and security.Research has found that almost three-quarters of them are following a passion or exploring a new challenge.Becci Mai Ford，who works some of the time for a telecommunications company to pay the bills，spends the rest of her time developing her craft company.She says going full-time is "not financially worth it right now but it fuels my creative soul and makes me happy".
Of course having a side hustle means you are self-employed，which can give you flexibility to work when you like，but it can be risky.You sometime work on a zero-hours contract and may not get offered enough wjye.aik.Or what was originally your passion may become more of a chore.However，this could be the best way to try out a new career or follow a passion while not giving up the day job.

C．Becci Mai Ford believes that it's not financially worthwhile to have a second job.
D．More than half of the millennials are trying new jobs for a passion or a new challenge.
（2）Which of the following is NOT the reason for having a side hustle？
A．To take risks.
B．To follow a passion.
C．To obtain happiness.
D．To gain extra income.
（3）What's the writer's attitude towards a side hustle？
A．Supportive.
B．Cautious.
C．Disapproval.
D．Indifferent.發(fā)布：2024/5/23 20:38:36組卷：1引用：0難度：0.91175．
