a promising career in “mattress jumping”. believe it or not, there are some people who actually get paid to do that! according to reuben reynoso, a professional mattress tester at san franciscos mcroskey mattress factory that still makes every mattress by hand, it is real work and needs some training. for a start, its not all about jumping to new heights or doing tricks like professional athletes, but rather about feeling each area of the mattress carefully to detect the filling. in order to do it right, every bit of the mattress has to be tested slowly and deliberately.over the years, reynoso has figured out the perfect routine. he begins by placing a protective mat over the mattress so that it doesnt get dirty or absorb the smell from his feet. then begins the fun-he steps to the middle of an edge and then takes five steps back and five steps forward. in this way, he slowly but surely, covers the entire surface. the key according to him is to find the perfect number of jumps-too many and he will end up destroying the mattress completely. too few? and it will not fit into the giant machine for that final sewing! who knew a job that sounds so simple could have so many skills!while reuben will not reveal how he got into this profession, he will admit that it is more fun than being a carpenter, roofer, construction worker and railroad engineer-all jobs he has tried

headaches.scientists have now found out that it is the quality of coffee and the way it is brewed (冲泡) that holds the key to our health. 43 among other things, this is linked to the consumption of a strong brew of coffee. experts also point out that different roasts and types of coffee beans have different effects on our health. a new study by a harvard research group says that there is no link between coffee and health problems. 44 doctors, however, warn against drinking too much coffee, as it can lead to stomach problems.coffee has many advantages, as the new study suggests. while alcohol makes people sleepy and slow-moving, coffee gives them energy. 45 although a lot still needs to be uncovered about coffee, it seems to reduce the risk of cancer and diabetes. reports show that people who drink coffee may develop parkinsons disease later in life, or maybe not at all. a. there are many different types of coffee.b. scientists ask people not to drink coffee at night.c. elderly people
