22、   In today's world, most workers are highly specialized, but this specialization can come at a cost——especially for those on the wrong team. New research by Harvard's Growth Lab uncovers the importance of teams and coworkers when it comes to one's productivity, earning potential, and stays of employment. The research analyzed administrative data on the 9 million inhabitants of Sweden. It found that to earn high wages and returns on education, workers must find coworkers who complement, but not substitute them.

The research offers a tool to assess the right and wrong coworkers in fields of expertise. The right coworkers are those with sills you lack, yet needed to complete a team. The wrong coworkers are those who have the same skill set as you and eventually lower your value to the employer. For example, those with a degree in architecture are best assisted by workers with engineering, construction, or surveying degrees, and negatively impacted by those with landscape or interior design degrees.

“We tend to think of sills as something personal that individuals can market to a company, ” said Frank Neffke, Growth Lab Research Director “However, this vision of sills is too simplistic. One person's sills connect to another person's sills, etc. ,and the better these connections are, the more productive workers will be, and the more they will earn” Neffke adds that the benefits of working with complementary coworkers are not the same for all workers. Those with higher levels of education seem to benefit much more from working in complementary teams than workers with lower levels. Over the past 20 years, workers with college degrees or higher have been increasingly able to find better matching coworkers.

Complementary also drives careers. The research shows that people tend to stay longer in organizations with many complementary workers and tend to leave those with many workers who substitute them. These results hold true for up to 20 years of one's career.

The research also supports several well-known facts, such as cities and large firms pay higher wages. Workers are more likely to find better fitting teams in cities, and large firms often allow workers to specialize.

【1】Which group of workers can make up the best team?

A.Those who can substitute each other. B.Those who come from the same place.

C.Those who are expert in the same field. D.Those who have the complementary sill

【2】Who may be the best complementary coworker for an architect?

A.A landscaper. B.A house agent.

C.A constructor. D.Another architect.

【3】Employers think more of their staff’s________.

A.dependence relationship B.struggling spirit

C.physical quality D.educational level

【4】What can be the best title of the text?

A.What workers your employer need most

B.How coworkers impact the value of your skills

C.How coworkers get higher wages and a long-term job

D.How complementarity improves your mental potential

23、When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of misses the point.

More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!

Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance,” You got eat or not? “(meaning “Have you eaten?” ) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different?

We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects — for the benefit of everyone.

Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.

【1】What does the author think of his/ her friends’ response in paragraph 1?

A．It reflects their self confidence.

B．It reflects their language levels.

C．It misses the point of communication.

D．It misses the real meaning of accents.

【2】Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English?

A．To justify the use of dialects.

B．To show the diversity of dialects.

C．To correct a grammatical mistake.

D．To highlight a traditional approach.

【3】What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph?

A．Learn to speak with your local dialect.

B．Seek for an official definition of accents.

C．Appreciate the value of accents and dialects.

D．Distinguish our local languages from others’.

【4】What can be a suitable title for this passage?

A．Everyone Has an Accent

B．Accents Enhance Our Identities

C．Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding

D．Standard English Is at Risk

24、Making the big decision about choosing a lasting and fulfilling career is a hard thing. Here’s how to decide which carcer you want. especially if you’re unsure of where to start.

Ask family members and friends that you trust. When you don’t know what you want to do, you can note any trends in feedback provided by people who are close to you. 【1】 Ask friends, family members and other people you trust what roles they could picture you doing for a living or companies they hope to see you working at.

【2】 Start by saying you’re considering a career similar to theirs on Linkedln, with just a single question to start, which can improve the odds that you’ll get a specialty analysis.【3】then that can be very helpful to better assess their own sincerity in terms of networking.

Consider your personality and individual preferences. Take a personality assessment, such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. If someone is more introverted and they are in an environment that is very outgoing and exposes them to a lot of people, that may be a reason why many people change their career.【4】

Look into a fast-growing industry. Careers in fast-growing industries may give you more opportunities. If you don’t know what field interests you. you can make a short list of fast-growing industries such as health care, sales or software.【5】For instance, your search question. “Top health care careers’” or “Fast-growing salary careers” should produce results that get you closer to picking the career you want.

A．Talk to professionals in various fields.

B．Consider previous jobs and what worked for you.

C．Consider also completing a “mini 360” with those around you.

D．When you can build up some real connection with their company.

E．If you have the option to see their faces talking to you about their job,

F．Choose the career you love and you will never work a day in your life.

G．Trying a focused Google and YouTube search can help you brainstorm.
