Question

【题目】 Thanks to our mastery（精通）of engineering and technology, the world is changing at a lightning quick pace, much quicker than ever before.

Engineers design and create things like machines, structures and processes. They use a combination（结合）of math and science to make these things work（or make them work better）Engineers change the world around us and come up with technologies and creative solutions to make our lives more comfortable, and make the world a better place.

Cool jobs in engineering and technology.

Engineers affect almost every area of our lives. Let's take a look at some of the coolest jobs you can do as an engineer.

●Roller coaster engineer

Have you ever visited a theme park and thought how cool it would be to create your own roller coaster? Well, that's the job of engineers-from designing them to analyzing the speed and weight of the roller coasters to make sure they are safe and run smoothly. What a scream!

●3D printing specialist

The future is all about 3D printing. As the technology becomes more widespread, it'll be used to print everything from food to prosthetic limbs（假肢）. Engineers such as software specialists and machine programmers will be in high demand to run this new technology.

●Space exploration engineer

From designing the powerful rockets to send deep into space to building and programming rovers（探测器）that can find out water on planets like Mars, engineers are at the center of space exploration and at the heart of what companies like space organizations like（美国国家航空航天局）do. Out of this world!

A.We've already used 3D printing for a long time.

B.There will be more software specialists and machine programmers.

C.We can't use 3D printing to print things like vegetables in the future.

D.3D printing technology can be used to find out water on planets like Mars.

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Out of the world!

B.The coolest jobs in the world.

C.Engineering makes the world better.

D.We master engineering and technology.
