It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly my mother will push the conversation into the Third World War. She’ll talk about my lack of (缺乏) bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major (主修) in English, she nearly had a heart attack.
“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she shouts all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to say except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve something because of loving it, not because of fame or salary.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes back home around 5:00 pm or even 6:00 pm.
However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

Over the past few years, the amount and types of data available on the Internet and, in particular, the speed at which we can process the data, have increased to an extent few people could have imagined. As a result, many new business models have appeared.
One such model is a large corporation arranging to have another company, often located in a different country, perform essential tasks. This became possible with the growth of reliable and secure communications and the ability to move massive amounts of data over long distances in an instant. A company in the United States, for instance, first scans all its bills, orders, and wage payments into the computer and sends the documents to an accounting center in, say, Costa Rica. Basic accounting activity is then carried out at that site. Next, the data is returned via the Internet to the original company, where high- level analysis is done.
A second model is one in which work is divided into smaller, more specific tasks performed by individuals in different geographical locations. For example, specialists living at a great distance from each other can work together to produce a new semiconductor (半导体) design. A member of the group living in California does some initial work on the project and uploads the result onto a server. A colleague in Japan makes further additions to the design. Next, someone in Israel accesses it and does his/her part of the job. Finally the group member in California downloads it and gives it a final check. Thus, specialists in different parts of the world team cooperate to complete a single project.
Now, more and more people are taking advantage of the career opportunities that the IT Revolution has opened up. In this way, the best talent in the world can be chosen for each task wherever he or she is.
8．What factors are most considered by those companies using the first model?
A．Safety and rapidity. B．Origin and popularity.
C．Location and material. D．Economy and ecology.
9．Which project could take the second business model?
A．To set up a pet hospital. B．To hold the Olympic Games.
C．To create a travelling guidebook. D．To organizing an important exam.
10．What is the benefit the IT Revolution brings according to the text?
A．Simplifying workers' schedules. B．Increasing the career opportunities.
C．Satisfying the demand of customers. D．Reducing the cost of doing business.
11．Which of the following might the author agree with?
A．All the work can be done digitally.
B．Doing business relies on location less and less.
C．Specialists don't need to go to company.
D．The increasing of speed at processing the data is predictable.
Teacher, Lawyer, Doctor—when someone says "career", these classic jobs are the first ones you think about, right? We've found four uncommon careers with awesome and unusual benefits.
Chief Listening Officer
You may not have heard of a Chief Listening Officer, but they've probably heard from you. CLOs closely monitor social platforms and conversations to keep an eye (and ear!) on what's being said about their company or brand. Your work enables a fast response to any and all complaints, questions, or misinformation.
Why it's awesome: This job is on the rise. As more organizations rely on social media for market research and customer service, the position of CLO will only become more important.
Food Stylist
Mouth-watering restaurant commercials and wasteful magazine photographs of delicious food don't come easy: It takes the work of a food stylist to make it all happen. Armed with cooking skills, creative style, and tools ranging from lipstick to lard, you get food ready for its photograph.
Why it's awesome: This is one of those rare cooking jobs that provide chances to create, but don't require you to slave away in a restaurant kitchen.
Global Mobility Consultant
As a global mobility consultant, you help employees make smooth transitions (过渡)into their new homes—whether it's in Bangkok, Berlin, or the next state over.
Why it's awesome: If you're the type who enjoys traveling and likes learning about other cultures, systems and traditions, this career could be a perfect fit. As companies continue to expand across borders, this position is expected to grow by 21 percent over the next few years.
Computational Linguist
Computational Linguists help computers and humans communicate with each other. More specifically, you create computer programs that can translate, transcribe, and comprehend regular, human language.

Whether you are just getting ready to start college or are considering a career change, you will want to choose a field that is showing long-term stability. If you know which careers are showing stable growth potential, you will choose a right job in your future.
Nursing is a field which will grow extremely fast over the next several years. At present there are about 2.5 million nurses working in the field and a half million more are expected to be added soon. Nursing salaries average about $66,000 per year, but they can go up to over $140,000 with higher education and specialized field training. Nursing also provides the benefit of flexible(灵活的) time, allowing you to choose when you want to work.
Engineering is one of the hottest and most stably growing careers in the country. There is plenty of opportunity for advancement and income growth in this field. Starting salaries for engineers is higher than most other jobs because a college degree is required. There are also many different fields of specialization to choose from as an engineer. Average salaries are around $72,000, but can quickly be more than $120,000 with experience and position.
Online marketing is a field that is fairly new to the career market and there is exciting growth potential. It offers a lot of flexibility with many different specialized areas. The average salary for online marketers is $53,000 per year, but some who work in specialized areas make over $200,000.
Although the job as a financial advisor is an extremely competitive career field, the projected growth for this field leaves plenty of room for new job seekers. The salary potential for this career increases with experience and education level but on average financial advisors make $67,000 a year.
16．The similarity of the four careers is that all of them ________.

For those who don’t decide their own working hours, a trial of four-day workweeks of 35-hour work weekly without a drop in pay among 2500 workers in Iceland has shown the old schedule may truly not be the most productive form of labor (劳动). The report, conducted by the research organization Autonomy and the Association for Sustainability and Democracy, found that negative markers like burnout (过度劳累), stress, necessary overtime, and disconnection with friends and family all went down, as would be expected, but that productivity remained at worst unchanged, and often improved in those working shorter hours.
The trials were such a success that following their conclusion in 2019,Mass renegotiation (重新协商)by labor unions means that 86% of Icelanders are now working non-traditional workweeks which could include 5-to-6-hour working days or four-day working weeks.
“This study shows that the world’s largest-ever trial of a shorter working week was a success,” said Will Stronge, director of Autonomy.
The main argument is that “burnout” depletes the ability of workers to be productive. A lack of production will sometimes result in a demand for overtime, especially by managers, further increasing burnout and decreasing productivity. In those who cannot afford to be less productive, like nurses for example, burnout simply results in negative health outcomes.
Hoping to see if they could replicate (复制)the productivity gains in other countries, the Reykjavid City Council started this trial, mostly at public offices, but also in private firms, to measure performance and worker well-being for four years.
Compared with non-participating firms or offices, productivity remained the same or increased in those participating, but it wasn’t free. Instead, as necessity is the mother of invention, a sort of mass re-imagining of operations was needed to achieve production or service goals with the reduced hours. This involved,as the report details, the shortening or early ending of meetings, and often a total reorganization of work processes to find where problems could be removed.
20．What does Autonomy’s report show?
A．Four-day workweeks are most productive.
B．Reducing regular work hours has many benefits.
C．Stress has no connection with working hours.
D．Workers should be flexible about their working hours.
21．How did labor unions in Iceland most probably react knowing the results of the trial?
A．They felt sad for most Icelanders.
B．They became worried about workers’ productivity.
C．They knew it was time for a change.
D．They decided to encourage hard work.
22．What does the underlined word “depletes” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．reduces B．shows C．loses D．approves
23．Why does the author say “it wasn’t free” in the last paragraph?
A．it’s not really worth trying for many companies.
B．It is necessary to make some changes to ensure productivity.
C．It costs a lot to re-imagine operations.
D．It is very difficult for most companies to change their routine.
You may think that work can never be fun. But some jobs are interesting and even lucrative(赚钱的). The Balance Careers created a list of top 15 interesting jobs in the world. We picked out four of them.
Caretaker of Hamilton Island
What is the best job in the world? It is being a caretaker of an Australian tropical island—a job that includes a salary of ￡69, 000 and involves little more than lazing in the sun, snorkeling(浮潜)and writing a weekly blog about life on the Internet.
NASA Sleep Tester
NASA is looking for volunteers who will be paid a total of around $18, 000 to lie in bed for 70 days.

Mariana Bechtel isn’t exactly someone who avoids stress. Throughout her, she has pursued high-pressure management jobs: “I’m hard core,” says the 44-yearold wife and mother of two. “I wanted to be on top at work, and I wanted to be a great mom” –one who could attend baseball games, drive and help with homework even after an hour-long commute （通勤）on workdays, more often than not, with a5 a.m. marathon-training run.
However, after months of losing sleep, dropping weight and feeling pushed to lose her mind, Mariana Bechtel decided she had to address her stress-and turn it to her advantage. The new job she recently switched to still has its share of pressure, but with more support from her boss and more flexibility in her schedule, she says she feels great.
Contrary to popular belief, stress doesn’t have to be a soul-sucking, health-damaging force. But few people know how to transform their stress into the positive kind that helps them reach their goals.
A recent research confirms that gaining control over job demands, doing work with meaning and purpose and enjoying support and encouragement from co-workers are all linked to beneficial stress. Simply changing attitudes and expectations about stress-through coaching, training or peer-support groups-can also develop the constructive kind of stress.
“Stress is paradoxical,” says Alia Crum, a research scholar. “On one hand, it can be the thing that hurts us most. On the other, it’s fundamental to psychological and physical growth. The attitude that we view and approach stress will shift the outcome.”
27．What is Mariana Bechtel’s new job like?
A．It is health-damaging.
B．It is physically demanding.
C．It has little stress.
D．It has flexible worktime.
28．What does the author want to show by telling the story of Mariana Bechtel?
A．Stress can be turned beneficial.
B．Too much stress is harmful to health.
C．It’s hard to balance work and family.
D．Every job has its own advantage.
29．How can we make stress to our advantage according to the recent research?
A．By refusing the boss’s demands
B．By taking up a meaningful job.
C．By supporting co-workers.
D．By sticking to our attitude to stress.
30．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Stress has far-reaching effects. B．Stress has several disadvantages.
C．Stress has two opposite features. D．Stress is not necessary at all.

◆Fit a student’s lifestyle—Part-time jobs that leave enough time for your curriculum and studying or offer flexible working hours.
◆Enable a student to develop stronger language skills—vital for international students who are not native English speakers.
◆Help a student mix quickly into a new culture and meet new friends.

Are you a big sports fan? If so, chances are that you’ve read articles by a sports reporter. The writer may have broken down a game or described one of your favorite athletes.
Sean Gregory is a senior sports reporter for TIME magazine. He thinks that a sports reporter not only goes to games but writes interesting articles. Like all good reporters, Gregory takes specific steps to write an attractive story.
First, he decides which people he wants to interview. Gregory says that getting various perspectives on a sport,   an event, or a player adds interesting layers (层面) to an article. That’s why he doesn’t talk to just athletes but also to coaches and the audience.
Next, Gregory puts together a list of questions. He says the questions are intended to “bring about exciting answers and a good conversation.”
Finally, sports reporters also need to understand data collected by sports analysts (分析家), who use the data to make a guess. Emily Kaplan, a sports reporter for ESPN, says that writing about sports includes analyzing which players are most effective and valuable. “The way that we quantify (量化) a lot of those things is through the data and math,” she says.
Many sports were canceled in the spring because of the pandemic (疫情). Some restarted over the summer and fall. As a safety measure, reporters are not permitted to go to games, nor are they allowed to go only in small numbers. Gregory hasn’t been to a game in months. He speaks to players online, but he misses being able to chat with fans at events. “Sometimes, they say funny things that make stories lively,” Gregory says.
For now, many sports reporters are busy writing articles that take place off the field, court, or skating area. For example, Kaplan wrote about how the pandemic affected the finances of the owners of sports clubs. Gregory reported on how pandemic shutdowns are affecting athletes’ mental health. “What this pandemic has taught all of us is that we just need to find ways to adapt,” Kaplan says. “And we’ll adapt again when things are normal.”
34．What do good reporters have in common according to the text?
A．They only interview famous people.
B．They write articles in a certain process.
C．They are all good at different sports.
D．They finish writing their stories in advance.
35．What does the underlined word “perspectives” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Features. B．Influences. C．Opinions. D．Methods.
36．What can sports reporters do with data analysis?
A．Decide which court is suitable for the game.
B．Get more information on athletes.
C．Find out the finances of the sports clubs.
D．Make their ideas more acceptable to readers.
37．What do the last two paragraphs mainly say about sports reporters?
A．They have to change their working ways.
B．They enjoy a new approach to interviews.
C．They are forced to write about sports clubs.
D．They change their focus to non-sports news.

本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者和母亲在作者未来职业的选择上存在着很大分歧。
1．
词义猜测题。根据文章第一句“It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly my mother will push the conversation into the Third World War.（我感觉每次我和妈妈开始交谈时，都会变成争吵。我们谈论一些简单的事情，比如晚餐计划，突然我母亲就把这个话题推到了第三次世界大战。”可知作者和母亲即使是简单的谈话，都会产生争执，像被推向世界大战一样，本处的划线单词“push”有某一方用自己的力量强迫某人做某事或将某事置于某种境界的意思，在本文的意思想强迫作者改变与她母亲不一样的观点，所以才会争吵，一个简单谈话像被推向世界大战一样；选项B“to encourage or force someone to do something or to work hard（鼓励或强迫某人做某事或努力工作）”与划线单词push意思相近，都是表示某一方用自己的力量去强迫另一方做某事的意思；故选B项。
2．
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“She’ll talk about my lack of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major (主修) in English, she nearly had a heart attack.（她会说我前途渺茫因为我不打算当医生。令她失望的是，我也不想做任何与科学有关的工作。事实上，当我被逼说我打算主修英语时，她差点心脏病发作。）”可知作者和他母亲在职业选择上面是有很大分歧的，作者母亲让他当医生；作者不愿意；文章第二段““Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she shouts all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer.（“你为什么不能像我同事的儿子一样?”她总是大喊大叫。她同事的儿子获得了四年的奖学金，现在是一名年薪7万美元的工程师。）”可知作者母亲同事的儿子是优秀的，不但获得了四年的奖学金，选现在还成为一名工程师，获得好的名声和薪水；作者母亲想通过这个例子来说服作者去当医生，因为这是他母亲想要的结果。故选A项。
3．
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes back home around 5:00 pm or even 6:00 pm.（我明白为什么我妈妈担心我未来的专业。我见过我妈妈用她微薄的薪水和长时间的工作来养活我。她在早上 6:30 左右离开家，通常在下午5:00甚至下午6:00左右回家。）”可知作者母亲自己的薪水微薄，而且要工作很长时间，养活作者很不容易，日子过得很艰难，所以推知作者母亲想让作者以后能够有好的工作，有好的薪水来让他们的日子好过一点，故作者母亲反对作者的专业的是因为她自己的日子很艰难，在生活中挣扎；故选D项。
4．
推理判断题。由文章第一段“In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major (主修) in English, she nearly had a heart attack.（事实上，当我被迫说我打算主修英语时，她差点心脏病发作。）”可知作者自己是想主修英语的；根据文章最后一段“However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.（但是，我想让她知道，成为一名医生并不意味着我会成功。我宁愿追随自己的梦想，创造自己的未来。）”可知即使作者母亲想让他成为医生，但是作者还是宁愿追随自己的梦想，即按照自己的兴趣来选择英语作为主修课；故选C项。
5．D
6．D
7．C

9．
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“A second model is one in which work is divided into smaller, more specific tasks performed by individuals in different geographical locations.(第二种模式是将工作分成更小、更具体的任务，由不同地理位置的个人完成。)”可知，信息技术革命带来的第二种商业模式是可以由身处不同地理位置的人执行， C项“设计一份旅游指南”可由身处不同地理位置的人协同完成，与文章内容一致。故选C项。
