21、Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street？Perhaps they were busy talking，texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new“species”of human has kept rising. They have been given a new name－phubbers (低头族)．

Recently，a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film，phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die，a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site，and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.

Although the ending sounds overstated the damage phubbing can bring is real.

Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it.“Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck，”Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying，“the neck is like a rope that breaks after long­term stretching.”Also，staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually，according to the report.

But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends，many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere，Beijing Evening News reported.

It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death，suffered accidents，and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

【1】For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para.2?

A. To advertise the cartoon made by students.

B. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.

C．To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.

D．To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.

【2】Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?

A．His social skills could be affected.

B．His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.

C．He might get separated from his friends and family.

D．He will cause the destruction of the world.

【3】Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?

A．Supportive. B. Optimistic.

C.Opposed.    D. Objective.

【4】What may the passage talk about next?

A．Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.

B．People addicted to phubbing.

C．Definition of phubbers.

D．Consequences of phubbing.

22、Beating Burnout and Compassion Fatigue in the New Year

This year has continued to bring many of us closer to the pain, suffering and exhaustion of those experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue (疲倦). There is no doubt that 2021 has been filled with additional challenges. 【1】

The data is clearly showing that our workforce shares feelings of burnout. A recent Gallup report indicated that 67% of us feel burned out either some or most of the time. At an organizational level, Hogan reports that burned out employees are 18% less productive and 2.6 times more likely to be actively seeking a different job.

Fatigue and burnout arise not when we fail to get sufficient rest but when we fail to appreciate the moments of purpose and joy in our lives.

There are a few myths around burnout and compassion fatigue:

Myth 1: Burnout is an individual's problem.

Many people believe that burnout is about an individual who needs to “figure it out”. 【2】 Team structure offers critical support and leaders should create environment where team burnout is addressed.

Myth 2: 【3】

Surprisingly, the individuals most likely to experience burnout are committed employees and leaders who love their job and are highly engaged. These top performers are the people you are most likely to lose.

Myth 3: People who experience burnout are just less resilient.

Research shows a correlation between higher levels of resilience (复原力) and lower levels of burnout. 【4】 But resilience looks very different now from five years ago, and my guess is that it will continue to shift.

If 2021 has taught us anything, it is that we cannot separate burnout from our emotions, whether they may be fear, anger, shame or guilt. 【5】

A．While fatigue is more sudden and results from carrying the pain and suffering of others, what we experience is similar.

B．Burnout results from lack of responsibility.

C．Burnout hurts individuals' enthusiasm and passion.

D．At this point, burnout and compassion fatigue has expanded into many aspects of our lives.

E．But burnout occurs at different levels and is the result from challenges to individuals, teams and organizations.

F．At one point, people believed resilience was established by “sucking it up”, or “just staying positive”.

G．And the path forward requires us to deepen the relationship with feelings of joy, passion, pride and fulfillment.

23、It takes a lot of energy to keep buildings comfortably cool in hot parts of the world. As it comes through windows, sunshine is a big source of heat in buildings, explains Tengfei Luo, an engineer at the University of Notre Dame.

Sunlight contains both the visible(可见的) light that we can see and the light our eyes can’t see. Both types can pass through glass. Luo and his team set out to design a clear coating that blocked the invisible light, which has a warming effect. Extra-thin layers of materials like silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide can interact with light in ways that help. But none could do it all. So his team decided to layer such materials, like a pile of pancakes. Knowing how to perfect the layer and ordering of layers can get really complicated as the number of layers increases. Unless, that is, you have a quantum(量子) computer.

The team chose four promising materials. They pile up those materials in very thin layers, and in any order. There can be up to 24 layers. Among all possible arrangements, they record which worked best at keeping heat out but letting in visible light.

It turns out that there were hundreds of billions of possible arrangements. A traditional computer would take millions of years to evaluate them, but a quantum computer can evaluate them in less than a second. It can take thousands of cycles of measuring and improving the program to get to an answer. The result was a surprisingly clear coating highly transparent(透明的) to visible light.

The coating uses common, inexpensive materials. It requires no foreign techniques. A sample test shows after a day and a half in hot climate, it kept a test room 6 degrees Celsius cooler than an untreated window, cutting the energy used to cool buildings by close to one-third.

Luo sees potential for widespread use of this glass coating in hot climates. To seriously address climate change, energy-efficient buildings are a must.

【1】How does the coating Luo’s team designed work?

A．By trapping visible light inside the house.

B．By controlling the amount of light entering the room.

C．By stopping invisible light from entering through the window.

D．By allowing both visible and invisible light to pass through glass.

【2】What is the quantum computer used to do in the development of the coating?

A．Combine different layers.

B．Choose suitable materials.

C．Improve coating functions.

D．Assess layer arrangements.

【3】What can be inferred about the final design of the coating?

A．It’s widely used.

B．It works effectively.

C．It comes in several varieties.

D．Its cost remains to be reduced.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．Think of This New Tech as Sunglasses for Our Windows

B．Apply This Coating to Your Windows to Heat Your House

C．Develop New Energy to Keep Buildings Comfortably Cool

D．Build Energy-Efficient Buildings to Address Climate Change

24、As you are probably aware, the latest job markets news isn’t good: Unemployment is still more than 9 percent, and new job growth has fallen close to zero. That’s bad for the economy, of course. And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now. But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you think.

　　That’s because job growth numbers don’t matter to job hunters as much as job turnover data. After all, existing jobs open up every day due to promotions, resignations, terminations, and retirements. (Yes, people are retiring even in this economy.) In both good times and bad, turnover creates more openings than economic growth does. Even in June of 2007, when the economy was still humming along, job growth was only 132,000, while turnover was 4.7 million!

　　And as it turns out, even today — with job growth near zero — over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month.

　　I don’t mean to imply that overall job growth doesn’t have an impact on one’s ability to land a job. It’s true that if total employment were higher, it would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from (and compete for). And it’s true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening, regardless of whether it’s a new one or not.

　　But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don’t is their ability to stay motivated. They’re willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills; be creative about where and how to look; learn how to present themselves to potential employers; and keep going, even after repeated rejections. The Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that 2.7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn’t looked within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.

　　So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up. Four million people get hired every month in the U.S. You can be one of them.

【1】The author tends to believe that high unemployment rate ______?

A．deprives many people of job opportunities.

B．prevents many people from changing careers.

C．should not stop people from looking for a job.

D．does not mean the U.S. economy is worsening.

【2】Where do most job openings come from?

A．Job growth

B．Job turnover

C．Improved economy

D．Business expansion

【3】What does the author say about overall job growth?

A．It doesn’t have much effect on individual job seekers.

B．It increases people’s confidence in the economy.

C．It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed.

D．It doesn’t mean greater job security for the employed.

【4】What is the key to landing a job according to the author?

A．Education

B．Intelligence

C．Persistence

D．Experience

【5】What do we learn from the passage about the unemployment figures in the US?

A．They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is.

B．They provide the public with the latest information.

C．They warn of the structural problems in the economy.

D．They exclude those who have stopped looking for a job.
