21、Maggie Perkins had been working as a teacher in Georgia for nearly five years before she decided to “quiet quit” her job. The decision didn’t mean leaving her position, but rather limiting her work to her contract (合约) hours. Nothing more, nothing less. “If I didn’t quiet quit my teaching job, I would burn out,” she says.

Like Perkins, “quiet quitters” on Tik Tok defend their choice to take a step back from work, but company managers and workplace experts argue that although doing less might feel good in the short term, it could harm your career—and your company—in the long run.

In the wake of the global pandemic and the Great Resignation, employees began to reimagine what work could look like. Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace report in June found job dissatisfaction at an all-time high, with 60% reporting emotional detachment (分离) from work. Disengaged workers cost the global economy an estimated $7.8 trillion in lost productivity and an economic slowdown.

Now, companies have become sensitive to worker burnout. Gergo Vari, CEO of job board platform Lensa, advocates an alternative to quiet quitting: “loudly persisting”. That is, empowering employees to speak up about how their organization can serve their goals. “When you loudly persist, you have a sense of belonging to the company,” he says.

Career coach Allison Peck says she views “quiet quitting” as a symptom of employees not connecting to their work or managers. Her career advice for quiet quitters is to take even braver action. “Finding a new job, team, or company that better suit you can improve your mindset at work,” she says.

Some workers, though, say that companies’ concerns about “quiet quitting” are unfounded. Shini Ko, a software developer, has set limits on her hours and now runs a small-scale vegetable farm in her spare time. “It’s negative and dangerous that we regard a healthy work-life balance as quitting,” says Ko. “Can we just call it what it is? It’s just working.”

【1】What is paragraph 1 mainly about?

A．An example of quiet quitters.

B．An excuse for quiet quitting.

C．The limitation of contract hours.

D．The working conditions of teachers.

【2】What’s the consequence of “quiet quitting” according to the report?

A．It cost the disengaged workers an estimated $7. 8 trillion.

B．It caused the global pandemic and the Great Resignation.

C．It held economy back and reduced workers’ productivity.

D．It resulted in employees’ job dissatisfaction in the long run.

【3】What can we infer from Gergo Vari’s words?

A．Companies don’t have to worry about worker burnout.

B．Companies should persist loudly to serve workers’ goals.

C．Employees can ask for a short break while feeling worn out.

D．Employees can voice their opinions on the company’s management.

【4】What is Shini Ko’s attitude towards companies’ concerns about “quiet quitting”?

A．Unreasonable.

B．Unforgivable.

C．Unexpected.

D．Uncertain.

23、A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.

By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(顽固的).

Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.

The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.

Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people's success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”．

EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.

While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ causes misuse.

【1】The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that ________.

A．the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment

B．emotional intelligence won't show up until adolescence

C．the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success

D．candy can be used to measure a person's emotional intelligence

【2】Which of the following is TRUE of EQ and IQ according to the text?

A．There is no link between EQ and IQ.

B．The higher a person's IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.

C．Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.

D．Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together.

【3】The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.

A．kind

B．floating

C．excited

D．optimistic

【4】Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?

A．To amuse both the children and readers.

B．To prove the scientist’s wisdom.

C．To introduce the topic of the text.

D．To show us how to do an IQ test.

【5】What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?

A．Information about famous people with high EQ.

B．Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.

C．Some reasons why EQ is relatively new field.

D．Strong demands for basic emotional education.

24、(Q =" Question;" A = Answer)

Situation I

Q: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?

A: Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that the close sitter doesn’t realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren’t the first person he’s met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.

Situation II

Q: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?

A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time thing or an emergency? If so, you don’t have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one.

Situation III

Q: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?

A: No. Try other means: 1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作) and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.

Situation IV

Q: If I remember my friend’s birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?

A: This is the reason why the wordbelatedwas invented. “Happy belated birthday!” is short for: “Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday.”

Situation V

Q: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was loo busy or lazy to respond to it?

A: Don’t lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond(回复) to it. Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve? “Yes,” you can say if ever asked, “I saw it.” No explanation is needed as to why you don’t respond.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Now that Emily was 12, she could walk to school without her parents. And even better, she could go with her best friend, Heidi, who lived on the same street as her.

The only problem was that Emily had to walk the long way round, which took them a good 15 minutes longer. She just could not take the shortcut through the park.

But Heidi never complained. They had been hanging out at each other’s houses for as long as they could remember. The best times were when they had sleepovers and could sit up late talking about anything and everything and everyone.

So if anyone understood why Emily could not walk through the park, it was Heidi.

Emily was a sweet girl except that she was frightened at dogs! So she had to avoid certain places where they might be. She was always conscious of where she went and got quite good at finding ways to avoid encountering any of them. She planned ahead good and proper before she headed outdoors or to a friend’s home. She could even spot one a mile away!

But the strange thing was, she didn’t dislike dogs. In fact she was quite fond of the idea of them. She was feeling that her fear was preventing her from living life to the full. She was starting to become tired of constantly avoiding her big fear. She wanted so badly to be able to pet a dog like “normal” people did. She tried to overcome her fear, but it usually ended in tears and a feeling of disappointment.

As her best friend, Heidi couldn’t stand by. She believed that power of friendship could help Emily overcome the fear.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
