问题     Fed up of your desk-bound 9-5 job? Wish you spent your days being pampered instead? Dream of being paid to travel across the globe living the life of luxury? Your dream could well become a reality because one luxury website has posted a job application for a lucky individual to test the luxury life, which will involve sampling the finest products and experiences that the world is launching.
    According to website VeryFirstTo, which is offering the position, the Living Luxury Executive will dine at the best new restaurants, lounge in the finest hotels, dress in stunning jewels, road test the most extravagant cars, face test the most indulgent cosmetics, and play with the most sophisticated tech products. The Living Luxury Executive will be responsible for evaluating each experience and reporting back to VeryFirstTo, a members-only luxury gift website that sells the world’s finest products and dubs(把......称为)itself "the first website for individuals to learn about, and have, newly launching luxury products and experiences. "
    Speaking about the ideal candidate, the recruiter said: "The ideal candidate would be an early adopter, discerning, eloquent, familiar with fashion, hospitality, cuisine and technology, and have experience of the luxury market. " Candidates must be able to "distinguish between the roar of a Bentley and a Lexus engine, and the touch of cashmere and vicuna", according to the job specification.
    Despite the position never being actually advertised, word spread across the globe and within days 1 000 applications have been received. Individuals have applied from a whole array of backgrounds and include a titled Lady, butler, Royal Marines Commando, Chairman of large European advertising agency, luxury magazine editor, beauty queen, senior politician and an Earl. Besides a multitude of approaches from UK residents, VeryFirstTo has been overwhelmed by applicants around the world with many offering to relocate and others stating they would even do the job for free.
    And it seems that candidates are confident in their abilities with sentiments expressed alongside applications including:"I live in a large country estate and have an offshore trust, importing prime US Department of Agriculture(USDA)beef from America and unpasteurized(未消毒的)beer from Germany. I’ve owned and flown private jets and helicopters and stayed in top hotels. "
    Speaking about the much coveted(梦寐以求的)role, a spokesman for the site said:"I think it is abundantly clear that living the luxury life, especially when paid to do so, is irresistible to many from every spectrum of background and nationality. Luxury might only be accessible to the privileged few, but it fascinates so many. Who knows, we might be able to provide someone with a very unexpected uber-luxury lifestyle. "
What role will the Living Luxury Executive play?
选项 A、To give the feedback of every experience.
B、To experience all the products and services that the world is launching.
C、The first to have the newest and finest products.
D、To take responsibility for the quality of the luxury products.
答案A
解析 细节推断题。由定位段第二句可知，奢侈品体验主管将对每次的体验进行评价，并将体验心得反馈给VeryFirstTo网站。由此推断A)为正确答案。B)“体验世界上发布的所有的产品和服务”过于宽泛，文章主要针对奢侈品，故排除；定位段最后一句中提到，VeryFirstTo自称为“首家为个人提供最新奢侈产品、服务的信息及体验的网站”，但这并非一定是事实，而且这也不能说明奢侈品体验主管是“第一个拥有最新最好产品的人”，故排除C)；D)“对奢侈产品的质量负责”在本文中未曾涉及，故排除。
