21、Virtual (虚拟) Teams

Virtual teams are a great way to enable teamwork in situations where people are not sitting in the same office at the same time. 【1】 This is particularly so for businesses that use virtual teams to build global presence, or need less common skills or knowledge from people who are unwilling to travel.

Virtual teams are governed by the same basic principles as traditional teams. 72 It is the way the team members communicate. They rely on special communication channels enabled by modern technologies, such as emails, faxes, and teleconferences, and alike. Due to more limited communication channels, the success of virtual teams is much more sensitive to the type of project the group works on, what people are selected, and how the team is managed.

【2】 One challenging case is the projects that rely heavily on integrated work. That is to say, when each person’s work depends significantly on what someone else is doing at the same moment, like in a sports team, there is an ongoing heavy exchange of information in real time, and the tasks have to go through a strict order within a short time.

Not everyone can perform well in a virtual team environment. 【3】Another important quality is communication skills. The team members must be able to communicate clearly and positively. Managers of virtual teams need to pay much more attention to having clear goals, performance standards, and communication rules. People have various assumptions on what to expect from each other. 【4】

One of the biggest challenges of virtual teams is building trust between the team members. Trust is important for unblocking communication between members and increasing motivation of each person in the team. The issue of trust needs special attention at any stage of team existence.

A．To avoid misunderstanding, clear rules that everyone understands and agrees on are necessary.

B．Not every type of project is suitable for a virtual team.

C．A virtual team can choose whatever project they like to work on.

D．The members must be self-motivated and able to work independently.

E．Such teams are now widely used by companies and organizations to cut business costs.

F．Members of virtual teams communicate quite well although they never meet face-to-face.

22、Netflix’s hit anti-fishing documentary Seaspiracy shocked many people into rethinking their seafood consumption．

Some marine scientists cast doubt on the film’s claims that there is no such thing as a sustainable fishing industry and we could run out of fish in 2048．But there is no denying that the film generates a great impact．【1】This follows vegetarian(素食的)food products arriving on supermarket shelves imitating dishes from fish and chips to canned tuna.

Human beings actually eat a lot of fish．Globally，seafood is a $500 billion industry and consumption has more than doubled in the last half a century．【2】Seafood consumers are increasingly concerned about overfishing，marine pollution，heavy metals，micro plastics and the global fishing industry’s poor human rights record．

With the rise of“flexitarianism”or casual vegetarianism，occasional meat eaters are buying plant-based substitutes for health and environmental reasons．【3】

Fake fish(人造鱼肉)currently accounts for only about one per cent of the entire alternative meat industry．【4】 In 2018，London’s Sutton & Sons，a family owned business，became the first UK fish and chip shop to offer veganfish and chips，substituting banana flower for the trademark British dish．Immersed in seaweed and then deep fried，the flower at the end of a cluster of bananas—commonly used in South East Asian cuisine—is accepted as a piece of fake fish and has become a popular vegan substitute．Since then，the West has seen a sharp increase in demand for fish-free foodstuffs．

【5】In 2017，only 29 companies in the world produced alternative seafood products．Now there are more than 80 with seafood giants and multinationals moving into their territory．Birds Eyre introduced Fishless Fingers in June 2021 less than a year after Nestlé，the world’s largest food company，launched its first alternative fish product，Vuna．

A．Meat-free meat is now big business．

B．They do so in response to marine life protection．

C．After all，the oceans are not an unlimited resource．

D．Customers now have a wider choice than ever before．

E．Many viewers have cut down on fish or cut it out altogether．

F．But what began as a tiny cottage industry is expanding rapidly．

G．Several supermarkets rush to show the film to appeal to customers．

23、Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.

The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation — for example, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.

The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, habitual loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.

Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person's social contacts, e.g. friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.

Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between habitual loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, habitual loneliness can be a sad and sometimes dangerous condition.

【1】How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?

A. Talk to friends.

B. Just ignore it.

C. Go to see a doctor.

D. Ask your teachers for guidance.

【2】"It" in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to _____.

A. a physical problem   B. sleeplessness

C. temporary loneliness   D. situational loneliness

【3】The topic of the 4th paragraph is that____.

A. lonely people don't have many social problems

B. we depend on various persons for different reasons

C. one problem of loneliness is a person's social contacts

D. lonely people don't have many friends

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A. How to Get Rid of Loneliness

B. Loneliness and Diseases

C. Loneliness and Social Contacts

D. Three Types of Loneliness

24、You have signed on for months of hard work．You're far from home．The pay is bad．The food is worse．You find rare comfort in the simple songs that you and your work mates sing．

This is what a sailor's life was like in the 1800s．The songs sung aboard ships were called sea shanties．You have probably heard a shanty or two yourself．Many of these songs have lasted through the years．They can often be found in surprising places today．

Sea Shanties Then ．．．

Sea shanties were valuable friends to sailors．Some shanties, such as "Blow the Man Down," had lively words and melodies．They broke up the boredom of long trips．Other shanties, including one called "Oh, Shenandoah," had a sadder tone．They helped seafarers express longing and loneliness．Still other shanties, such as "Leave Her, Johnny," let sailors complain about their hard lives．

But the first job of the sea shanty was to help the men work as a team．Ships had sails that were controlled by a system of moving ropes．For many jobs, all of the sailors had to pull on the ropes at once．

When faced with such a job, the shantyman, or song leader, began a tune．The crew joined in on the chorus, and it might have sounded like a playful sing-along．But when the sailors came to a certain beat, they knew it was the signal to pull together with all their might．

Raising or lowering the anchor called for a rhythm with a slow, steady motion．Then, the shantyman would choose a shanty with a slow, steady beat to match the job．Each duty on the sailing ship had its own rhythm and its own kind of song．

．．．and Sea Shanties Now

Sea shanties have been passed down to us in much the same way as folk stories．Long ago, someone came up with a memorable idea and melody．Others repeated the shanty, often adding changes along the way．

Over time, people saw the sea shanty for the treasure it was．Like any treasure, shanties were collected．Many were written down in books．

Where do the old shanties appear now? Today's musical artists love the fun, beauty, and history of these songs．Many musicians, including Bob Dylan and Harry Belafonte, have their own versions of "Oh, Shenandoah．" One group, the Robert Shaw Chorale, recorded a collection of shanties．

In Hollywood, shanties serve as a symbol of the sea．A fisherman sings the shanty "Spanish Ladies" in the film Jaws．The cartoon character Woody Woodpecker whistles "Blow the Man Down" when he finds himself aboard a pirate's ship．

Today, shanties tell us about shipboard life more than one hundred years ago．They help us understand what the working sailor sang and perhaps thought about．

So the next time you're doing a boring task, try making up a tune to go along with it．Time may pass more quickly, and your job may seem easier．Also, you may understand why sailors loved those old songs of the sea．
