21、The Covid-19 pandemic has been stressful in so many ways and increased work stress stands out as widespread consequence of it.

In a study titled “This job is killing me” conducted at Northern Illinois University and Indiana a University, the researchers discovered that two specific factors-having a high-stress job and low control over one’s work-were closely related with higher death rates.

During the 20-year period, over 3,000 Americans were tracked at three separate points by the Midlife in the United States Survey Analyzing that data, the study found that those with high-stress, low-control jobs were 43% more likely to die than those in lower-risk categories.

People who suffered from depression were 130% more likely to die early, according to Erik Gonzalez-Mulé, who co-authored the study. Those with high stress, low-autonomy jobs who died were likely to have suffered depression.

GonzalezMulé says his takeaway is not that everyone should quit their jobs in terror. Rather, he also says, those with influence over employees’ work experience-like company heads and managers-should do as much as possible to increase workers’ feelings of autonomy, especially for workers in high Lowering stress at work isn’t always possible: Some jobs are inherently stressful. But jobs adding a sense of autonomy is sometimes possible.

Gonzalez-Mulé says one simple option is to allow people to decide where to work, whether that’s from home or other non-office workspace. In that way, the Covid-19 pandemic may have actually moved things forward: Employers who were unwilling to take the step of allowing flexible working on employees’ terms have had to adapt fast and, in many cases have seen positive results.

There are other ways that companies can increase workers’ autonomy too, especially for those for whom working from home isn’t an option. “Allowing people to choose what they want to do is kind of a higher order level of autonomy, whereas just allowing people to prioritize tasks and tackle things in the order they want is kind of on the low end,” says Gonzalez-Mule

【1】What does GonzalezMulé agree with?

A．People should give up their stressful jobs.

B．Lowering employees’ stress at work is essential.

C．People under high pressure are likely to suffer depression.

D．Employees should be allowed to make their own decisions.

【2】What is the positive outcome the Covid-19 pandemic has brought?

A．Light workload.

B．Less stressful jobs.

C．Increasing autonomy.

D．Safe working environment.

【3】Which belongs to the lower order level of autonomy?

A．Doing whatever one wants.

B．Deciding what to do first.

C．Choosing to work at home.

D．Choosing among several jobs.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Have High Control Over Your Work

B．High-stress Jobs Can Cause Death

C．Stay Away From Stress at Work

D．Ways to Cope with High Stress

22、Jean Craighead George was born in Washington, D. C. in 1919. Her interest in nature and animals came early arid maybe from her father. He worked for the National Forest Service. The family spent a lot of time in wooded areas. Jean and her twin brothers learned how to build shelters and find food in the woods.

Her brothers trained falcons (猎鹰). Jean said they gave her a falcon to train when she was 13 years old. Later the main character in one of her books develops a close relationship with a falcon.

She and her family started exploring wilderness areas all over the country. The family had more than 170 animals, although not all at once. The pets were always free to stay or go.

Her career in children’s literature began in 1948 with the publication of her first book, Vulpes: The Red Fox. Eleven years later came My Side of the Mountain, one of the best loved children’s books ever.

It tells the story of Sam Gribley who escapes the busy life of New York City. He goes to live in the wilderness of the Catskill Mountains. Sam makes friends with several animals, including a falcon he calls Frightful. Jean Craighead George said she wrote it to tell about all the wonderful adventures she experienced as a child in the woods.

In 1973, Jean Craighead George won a Newberry Medal for Julie of the Wolves. She had earlier travelled to Barrow, Alaska and met with scientists there. They taught her how to communicate with wolves. The author said she was finally successful with a beautiful female wolf. She knew then she wanted to write about a little Eskimo girl lost on the frozen land. Julie survives by learning how to talk to the wolves. They then help protect her.

Jean Craighead George hoped her works in fiction would help children enjoy the wilderness and also protect it. Her own children follows in her footsteps. Her daughter writes books about nature for children. One son is a whale researcher. The other studies birds.

Jean Craighead George died at a hospital in New York City, where she lived most of her adult life.

23、   It was a weeknight and one of my twin daughters marched into the room, waving a book she'd finished. “Dad, why are books with science in them always about boys?” she asked.

I told her that simply wasn't true; there were loads of great science fictions with girls in them. She agreed, but argued that in those stories it was the boys who were doing science, and the girls were just along for the ride. My other daughter took her sister's side and challenged me to give an example.

This left me in a difficult position. I could either go through our library to point out some wonderful examples of female-led science fictions, or just admit they were right and remain in my comfortable chair.

I've been asked several times how I came up with the idea for A Problematic Paradox and my answer is always the same: it came to me in a moment of inspiration. I like that answer because it's simple and makes me seem very creative. The fact that this explanation is not true bothers me from time to time. Here's the truth: the story wasn't my idea. It was my daughters who suggested I write something for them that had a girl doing science.

My daughters were at an age when many young women turn away from STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), believing those areas of study unfriendly or out-of-the-norm for girls. I also read about how important role models can be to young people. It's one thing to tell a person they can do something, but seeing someone like them doing that thing can be more powerful.

So, I kept two guidelines for the book in mind: First, the story had to be fun for anyone, because it's as important for boys to understand that science is for everyone. Second, I wanted the main character, Nikola, to be imperfect. She should be someone with shortcomings as we all have. I think this not only makes a story more interesting to read, but also helps make it clear that the most extraordinary things can be done by ordinary people.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “along for the ride” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Entering a bike race.

B．Offering vital help.

C．Doing unimportant things.

D．Playing the leading role.

【2】What do we know about the book A Problematic Paradox1?

A．Its main character is perfect.

B．It is a female-led science fiction.

C．It is intended to appeal to girls only.

D．Its idea comes from the author's inspiration.

【3】Which of the following best describes the author's book?

A．Serious and abstract.

B．Simple and practical.

C．Creative and well-organized.

D．Inspiring and interesting.

24、Why do we learn a new language?

As the world becomes ever more connected, the appeal of learning a new language is clear. Whether for business or pleasure, being able to communicate on an international level can bring many benefits. 【1】

It improves your brain

There have been many studies that examine how we deal with language learning in our brains. It’s an interesting subject area, with some surprising findings. For example, the complex process by which we learn a language can increase white and gray matter volume in the brain, helping it acts fast. 【2】 Clearly, there are some interesting impacts on the brain when it comes to learning a language.

It betters your future work

【3】 Several surveys have shown that those who can speak more than one language have the potential to earn more money. It means that more opportunities are available to you. Whether you want to work in a different country or in a role that requires you to be multilingual, being fluent in a second language can help greatly.

【4】

Whichever language(s) you choose to learn, you’re giving yourself the opportunity to meet and interact with new people. Whether it’s through a language course, learning app, or on your travels, you’ll be able to communicate with people who don’t necessarily share your native tongue.

It helps cultural understanding

As we’ll see, one of the important parts of learning a language is understanding the different cultures that speak it. 【5】 You can also immerse (沉浸) yourself in the lifestyle, and even improve your intercultural understanding in the workplace.

A．It helps you meet new people

B．It helps you make more friends

C．Learning a new language can be rewarding on many levels.

D．This cultural insight gives you the chance to travel to new locations.

E．The less complex the process is, the quicker our brain works.

F．Another area studied closely is how being multilingual can impact a person’s future work.

G．Some of these regions of the brain are connected with things like improved problem-solving.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Much time and effort has been devoted to researching the mental health benefits of flexible work environments, but can the ability to leave work early to watch your son’s soccer game, or arrive at the office a bit later in the morning in order to see to some personal matters, have physical health benefits besides making you feel a bit relaxed?

According to new research published in the Cochrane Library Database of Systematic Reviews, it seems so. In a review of 10 previous studies examining the health effects of unfixed work conditions for more than 16,000 people, researchers from the U.K.. Durham University and University of Newcastle, as well as the University of Montreal, found that flexible work schedules, for instance, when employees can shift their starting times, were associated with improvements in a person’s overall health. In addition, perhaps, unsurprisingly, in all of the studies included in the review, researchers found no evidence for negative effects of more flexible work schedules.

This initial analysis was intended to throw light on the potential health benefits of flexible work options, which are increasingly popular throughout Scandinavia, and have recently gained some ground in the U.K. For example, last April, the British government implemented a policy that allowed parents of children aged six and under to request flexible work arrangements to include parents of children aged 16 and younger. In the U.S., the phenomenon is a bit slower to catch on. Yet, the economic slowdown of recent years may have contributed to growth in workplace flexibility—as companies unable to reward employees with bonuses or raises may turn to other forms of compensation, Reuters reported early last year.

Original analysis too, of course, indicated the benefits of flexible work environments toward positive mental health outcomes. And while these latest findings are promising, the researchers stress that more study is vital to understanding the detailed relationship between flexible work and improved health outcomes. To truly grasp the benefits of flexible working conditions, the researchers say, additional study analyzing health outcomes among a wide range of workers—from high-ranking executives to hourly employees – is critical, which helps to gain a deeper understanding of the issue, and to shape future workplace policy.
