Rb Shuter is a gssip clumnist (漫谈栏作者), brn partially deaf, with severely limited functin in the ne arm that is shrter than the ther. Shuter’s wn experience made him nt nly interested in what distinguishes peple frm ne anther, but als cnfident in his wn differences.
Where des he gain such cnfidence? Shuter says that his family helps him grw up in spite f his special needs. “My mum taught me that being different wasn’t just fine, it was great,” he says. That pinin helped him handle many challenges that he faced.
Being a disabled child affected nt just hw he saw himself, but hw Shuter saw ther pepled wh didn’t quite fit in. He says, “It made me really aware f hw I lk at peple: I make eye cntact; I really listen. I try nt t judge a bk by its cver and t find beauty in the strangest places.”
That’s why he never tucks away his arm and speaks s penly abut his experience. “I have gt a huge scar dwn my arm and if smebdy asks r lks at it weirdly (怪异地), I dn’t feel bad fr myself r bad fr them,” he says. “It’s true in beauty t when yu ntice things n yur face r yur bdy that nbdy else des. The mre ut in the pen my arm is the fewer peple ntice it.” He said again, “If yu have a spt n yur face, yu really dn’t need t cver it up. Just wn it! If yu are lsing yur hair, wn it! The amunt f effrt and time peple spend trying t cver smething up, even their wn persnalities, is ridiculus.”
That candr (坦率) has wrked well in his prfessinal life. The gssip clumnist refers t himself n his website as Naughty But Nice Rb. He’s hnest abut the stars’ faults, but he tries t d it thrugh a lt f humr and kindness, in the same way he treats himself.

The Edisn Electric Institute has annunced the frmatin f the Natinal Electric Highway Calitin, which includes 50 EEI members, Midwest Energy Inc., and the Tennessee Valley Authrity.

Dealing with issues such as grid resiliency (电力网弹性), energy demands fr charging, and equitable rllut (展示) f charging infrastructure will be an imprtant and necessary part f a successful future f EVs,” said Tm Kuhn.

Changing jbs every cuple f years used t lk bad. It tells emplyers they can’t hld dwn a jb, can’t get alng with clleagues, r that they’re simply dislyal. That thught is fast utdated; the newcmers expect t cntinuusly learn, develp, and advance in their careers.
There are a lt f arguments fr changing jbs every few years. The ecnmy isn’t what it used t be and never will be again. Wrkers wh stay with a cmpany lnger than tw years are said t get paid 50% less, and jb hppers (跳槽者) are believed t have a higher learning curve (曲线), and even t be mre lyal, because they care abut making a gd impressin in a shrt time and they knw they’ll stay with each emplyer.
Patty McCrd, frmer chief talent fficer fr Netflix, says yung peple shuld plan t change jbs every three t fur years. “I think that the mst imprtant change in peple’s thught is t view emplyees as smart cntributrs frm the beginning. Everyne here wants t cme in, d a great jb, and cntribute, then they either fit r they dn’t. Yu build skills faster when changing cmpanies because f the learning curve.” McCrd says.
Why is the learning curve s high? Because jb hppers place themselves utside f their cmfrt znes cnstantly. They jin cmpanies, knw they have t learn fast, make great impressins, and imprve the bttm line. As a result, they’ re usually verachievers and learn a lt in a shrt time.
McCrd adds: Peple used t think that the lnger they kept an emplyee, the mre wrth they were t cmpanies. In fact, an emplyee wh stays n the jb and isn’t learning at a really high rate is nt ding gd wrk. But the emplyees that jb hunt are the mst receptive f becming extremely useful, very fast.
McCrd believes that the learning curve nearly flattens after three years. If ne wants t make a difference, he shuld leave. Emplyee retentin (留任) is a big issue, and it makes emplyers anxius, says McCrd. They’ve invested a lt in hiring big talent. T that, McCrd has sme advice: In 15 years, yur cmpany is grwing rapidly because f all the high, jb-hpping achievers that have cme and gne.
51．Why are jb hppers mre lyal?
A.Because their financial situatin isn’t gd.
B.Because they value gd impressins in a shrt term.
C.Because they can get their pay t rise by 50%
D.Because they want t get n arguments with thers.
52．What’s Patty McCrd’s attitude t jb hpping?
A.FavrableB.OppsedC.QuestinableD.Uncertain
53．It can be inferred that walking ut f cmfrt znes will make peple ________.
A.make a different impressinB.cntribute mre t sciety
C.becme mre knwledgeableD.get mre achievements
54．What are emplyers mstly cncerned abut?
A.Emplyees’ lyaltyB.Emplyees’ talents
C.Emplyees’ stabilityD.Emplyees’ learning curve
55．What’s the main idea f the text?
A.Jb hppers are mre lyal.
B.Jb hppers have a higher learning curve.
C.Yu shuld switch jbs every few years.
D.Yu shuld walk utside f cmfrt znes.
When Tsinghua University’s new freshmen arrived n campus last August, the first questin they were statistics released after the first grup f the freshmen enrlled (注册、加入) in the university, mre than half f the 540 students came alne. In a letter t freshmen this year, the president f Tsinghua University encuraged them t “start this new adventure by standing n yur wn tw feet.”
T help freshmen grw up, sme universities have thught f new methds. At Tsinghua, fr example, freshmen need t register and find their drmitry by themselves. The prcess requires tw t three hurs, during which vlunteers take parents n a tur f the campus.
At Zhejiang University, a banner hanging in the infrmatin center says “Parents let g please; let us help yur children.” Lu Gudng, dean (学院院长) f undergraduate studies at Zhejiang University, cined the slgan. “The slgan is fr parents. Often parents like t d things r make decisins fr their children. In their eyes, children never grw up.” said Lu.
A girl arrived at the railway statin with all her luggage and lked arund fr her university’s welcme team. She was Jin Hngting, 19, frm Hebei prvince and wuld study industry and business administratin at Beijing Unin University.
When asked why she came alne, Jin said: “There’s n need t bther my parents t cme with me. It nly takes fur hurs frm my hmetwn t Beijing.
Smetimes, hwever, the distance between university and hme is s great that many parents are t wrried t let their children travel alne. T reassure parents. Renmin University f China intrduced a new methd. It asked senir students t g back t their hmetwn and accmpany freshmen back t the campus. This helps freshmen get used t living independently.
