(2018·广东中山纪念中学高三模拟)Teacher, Lawyer, Doctor—when someone says “career”， these classic jobs are the first ones you think about, right? We've found four uncommon careers with awesome and unusual benefits.
Chief Listening Officer
You may not have heard of a Chief Listening Officer, but they've probably heard from you. CLOs closely monitor social platforms and conversations to keep an eye (and ear！) on what's being said about their company or brand. Your work enables a fast response to any and all complaints, questions, or misinformation.
Why it's awesome: This job is on the rise. As more organizations rely on social media for market research and customer service, the position of CLO will only become more important.
Food Stylist
Mouth-watering restaurant commercials and wasteful magazine photographs of delicious food don't come easy: it takes the work of a food stylist to make it all happen. Armed with cooking skills, creative style, and tools ranging from lipstick to lard, you get food ready for its photograph.
Why it's awesome: This is one of those rare cooking jobs that provide chances to create, but don't require you to slave away in a restaurant kitchen.
Global Mobility Consultant
As a global mobility consultant, you help employees make smooth transitions(过渡) into their new homes—whether it's in Bangkok, Berlin, or the next state over.
Why it's awesome: If you're the type who enjoys travel and likes learning about other cultures, systems and traditions, this career could be a perfect fit. As companies continue to expand across borders, this position is expected to grow by 21 percent over the next few years.
Computational Linguist
Computational Linguists help computers and humans communicate with each other. More specifically, you create computer programs that can translate, transcribe, and comprehend regular, human language.
Why it's awesome: This field is the front line for exciting technological areas like speech recognition and artificial intelligence. In other words, you could help
create robots.

Joseph Goldberger was a doctor for the United States Public Health Service and he was an advocate for scientific and social recognition of the links between poverty and disease. In 1914, Goldberger was asked by US Surgeon General Rupert Blue to study a skin disease that was killing thousands of people in the South. The disease was pellagra(糙皮病)．
Goldberger traveled to the state of Mississippi where many people suffered from pellagra. He studied the victims and their families. Most of the people lived a hard life. The doctor came to believe that the disease didn't pass on from one to another, but was instead related to food. He received permission from the state governor to test this idea at a prison. Prisoners were offered pardons if they took part. One group of prisoners received their usual foods, mostly corn products. A second group ate meat, fresh vegetables and drank milk. Members of the first group developed pellagra. The second group did not.
But some medical researchers refused to accept Goldberger's idea. For the South, pellagra was more than simply a medical problem. There were other things, including Southern pride.
So Goldberger had himself injected(注射) with blood from a person with pellagra. He also took liquid from the nose and throat of a pellagra patient and put them into his own nose and throat. He even swallowed pills that contained skin from pellagra patients. An assistant also took part in the experiments. So did Goldberger's wife. None of them got sick.
Joseph Goldberger died of cancer in 1929. He was fifty-five years old. Several years later, researchers discovered the exact cause of pellagra: a lack of vitamin B3 known as niacin.
