The Waterslide Tester
When the pool where he worked as a lifeguard was closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, Guillaume Pop took jobs at various other pools that were virtually deserted. In one video on the social platform, he pretended to be a “professional waterslide tester”. Unexpectedly, Pop became a social media sensation. He was then hired to “test” slides and other facilities at water parks and swimming pools all over France. “It’s the best job in the world,” declares Pop, whose videos have received 80 million views. “I’m not behind a desk. I’m active and outside in the sun. In fact, all the children tell me they want to be a waterslide tester!”
The Reindeer Herder
Finnish Lapland is home to around 200, 000 wild reindeer. Anne Ollila, one of the 4, 000 owners of these animals, works in this harsh but beautiful region with her big family. She gave up her job as a sociology researcher in 2010 to devote herself to reindeer herding full time. In summer, Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to 12 miles a night through marsh and forest, enduring all kinds of insects. In deepest winter there is little daylight. Grasslands are frozen and the reindeer move into the forest for protection. “Life here isn’t easy but it’s how nature works,” says Ollila, “I love the environment, the animals and the freedom. Also, I have a sense of belonging to something bigger than me, to the chain of life through the generations.”
The Zombie Trainer
Stevie Douglas, a 52-year-old Scot, has taught people how to behave like all varieties of the undead. A big fan of horror movies, Douglas noticed the zombies he saw in films were often unconvincing. “Their movement was poor and I thought I could do better.” So, in 2012, he formed ScareScotland to provide zombies for films and events such as horror conventions. A year later they started a zombie training program, which took off when they received a request for 300 zombies for a three-week-long interactive production. “What we do is very specific.” says Douglas. Many people enjoy being frightened, and he’s happy to oblige them.

Also, I have a sense of belonging to something bigger than me, to the chain of life through the generations.’ (‘这里的生活并不容易,但这就是大自然的运作方式,’ 奥利拉说,‘我喜欢这里的环境、动物和自由。而且,我有一种归属感,属于比我更大的东西,属于代代相传的生命链。’)” 以及第四段 “‘What we do is very specific.’ says Douglas. Many people enjoy being frightened, and he’s happy to oblige them. (‘我们所做的是非常具体的。’ 道格拉斯说。许多人喜欢被惊吓,他也很乐意满足他们。)” 可知,三个人的共同点是都对自己的工作充满激情和自豪。故选C。
