The past two years have been hard ---- many are still unable to travel around with COVID-19 restrictions still in place. Yet it has not stopped Zheng Zheng from discovering different coffee shops on a daily basis,

She is not one o[ those Internet influencers who check out different fancy cafes to make an income.Like millions who are taking on work from-home positions, the project manager of an Internet company sees it 88a way to escape her small apartment and remain productive.

“As long as there's Wi-Fi, I can literally work anywhere," Zheng told CGTN.

Many Silicon Valley executives have been rooting for the rise of remote working(远程办公) since 2020. Last May, Twitter announced its work-from-home plans, calling the flexibility “the fourth industrial revolution".

Zheng said,“Remote working gives me great flexibility. I could better assign my time, rather than wasting it on things like washing up or taking the subway to the office.”

“Another thing probably is that you can have different sources of income," the part-time designer and stylist added.

“But still, I believe remote working will never completely replace the traditional means of

working," she said after sharing all the advantages.

One disadvantage she pointed out is missing out on social interactions with your colleagues, and another is the extended working hours.

In a University ol Chicago study, employees were found to work longer hours at home for the same task, as focused time was broken up by some distractions like childcare and online meetings.

Robin Dunbar,a professor of the University of Oxford, told CGTN that he believes remote working is overhyped(过度夸大) and certainly won't last long. “Without face-to-face engagement and those casual meetings, the‘flow' that makes things work and work fast will be missing. Work groups quickly lose focus, and the sense of belonging is very quickly lost,”he said.

28. Why does Zheng Zheng explore different coffee shops every day?

A. To relax herself from working state.

B, To find out the most delicious coffee,

C. To look for a better work place for herself.

D. To check out different fancy cafes to make money.

29. What advantage does Zheng Zheng value more about remote working?

A. Low cost.                B. The flexibility.

C. Mental well-being.          D. The sense of belonging.

30. What does the underlined word“extended" in paragraph 8 mean?

A. Irregular.                B. Continuous.

C. Longer than usual.        D. Shorter than expected.

31. What is the attitude of Robin Dunbar to the future of remote working?

A. Appreciative.       B. Uncaring.        C. Optimistic.        D. Doubtful.

Students at an elementary school in California, with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times. In just days, the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour,

Most people agree that with concerns like COVID 19, extreme weather, and the climate crisis, the last couple of years have been stressful.

Jessica Martin, who teaches art at West Side School in Healdsburg, California, thought her students just might have the magic words to bring calm to people in these difficult times. So Ms. Martin, along with artist Asherah Weiss, worked with students on a project they called "PepToc".

The project had two parts- one was the hotline, and the other was creating encouraging posters.The two adults worked with students from kindergarten to sixth grade. They had the same basic question for all the students,“What could you say to help or encourage someone else?"" Students working on the hotline thought of what they would like to say. When they were ready, Ms. Martin recorded each one. Later, she sorted out the recordings into the different parts of the telephone hotline.

Pressing 1 brings up ideas for people who are “feeling mad, frustrated or nervous” Helpful

suggestions include“ punch your pillow” or“go get a cookie". Pressing 2 results in “ words of

encouragement and life advice". By pressing 3, you can hear a group of kindergartners saying together:“You can do it! Keep trying, don't give up!”Pressing 4 starts the sounds of children giggling and laughing- a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone's face.

Ms. Martin thought the project would only attract interest from people near the school.. But the hotline was soon getting hundreds of calls a day. Words of the hotline spread quickly on social media.The hotline has become incredibly popular with stressed adults, patients in hospitals, older people in homes, and others who just want to hear the happy voices of children.

32. Who came up with the idea of the project?

A. Parents of West Side School.        B. Jessica Martin and Asherah Weiss.

C. A student of West Side School.       D. The government of Healdsburg.

33. Which number should a caller press if he feels nervous?

A.1.       B.2.           C.3.          D.4.

34. What was unexpected for Ms. Martin?

A. The magic of the children,          B. The sadness of the people.

C. The popularity of the hotline.       D. The influence of the social media.

35. What could be the best title for the text?

A. The Charm of Art Is Beyond Words      B. A Project Is Carried Out to Study COVID-19

C. A Hotline Brings Stressful People Hope   D. Positive Messages From Kids Make a Hotline a Hit

Ways to Save Money on Healthy Food

Contrary to what you may have heard, eating healthy doesn't have to be really expensive. Here are expert tips on how to have a healthy diet on a budget(预算).

_36_

One of the main ways to eat healthier and save money is to cook at home. Instead of going out to buy pre-made healthy food from stores, get the ingredients and make them by yourself. If making entire meals is not your thing, or you don't have the time, you can make a simple salad.

Shop at your local farmers' market

_37_. Shopping produce that is in season is a lot cheaper than buying produce that isn't, and the best place to know what's in season is at a farmers' market. Farmers' markets are budget friendly because farmers bring their goods directly to customers without interference(介人) from shipping agents, retailers and other go- betweens._ 38_.

Prepare meals in advance

Sometimes the last thing you want to do after a long day is cool. To avoid reaching for the takeout menu in these situations, set aside one day B week to meal preparing._39_.To keep it simple and healthy, experts suggest having one source of protein in each meal, at least one vegetable and a whole grain.Making healthy meals in this way saves you time and money, and makes it easy to eat healthy.

Stock up on frozen produce

Buying frozen fruits and vegetables is a great way to eat healthy on a budget. Frozen produce costs about 30% less than fresh produce. Plus, fruits and vegetables will last a lot longer and usually can be chopped(切) and ready to go, s0 you don't have to spend time washing and cutting._40_.

A Cook at home

C. Meal preparing doesn't have to be difficult

A very wealthy merchant(商人) had very little to worry about in his life. He had all the material comforts. But his biggest concern was his son. His son was very lazy and showed no intelligence or creativity, much less any willingness to work.

As the son was getting older and it was time for him to get married, the merchant was worried that his son was not ready for the family responsibility.“My lazy son doesn't have the wisdom or will to work. How will he ever be able to make a living?"

But the mother couldn't see the flaws(缺点) in her son and had set her. heart on finding a wife for her son. So she urged the merchant to find a suitable girl from a good family for her son. She talked about how her son had improved and grown wiser with time and how he was ready for marriage.

The merchant finally gave up to the mother. "But I have a condition. The girl who is supposed to marry our son should buy one item with this small one coin. But that one item must be something to eat, something to drink, something to plant in the garden, and some food for the cow." Then the merchant handed over the small coin to his son and asked him to find a girl who could do that.

“But that is impossible; how can anyone get something that can do 80 many things with such a small amount of money?" said the mother. But the boy was optimistic(乐观的) and went to the town to find the girl who could do that. In the town, he met many beautiful women, daughters of wealthy merchants, but no one could think of anything to buy with the coin.

But the young man did not lose hope and visited every household that had girls of marriageable age. The last house in the town was of an ironsmith(铁匠). The boy was tired and sad when he went to the house. A young girl looking at the sad boy asked him what the problem was. The boy explained to her. the task he had.“Oh, that is easy, I can do that," the girl claimed.
