Ten millin Americans are cnsidering freelancing （从事自由职业）, accrding t Upwrk's Great Resignatin survey. Amng thse planning t quit their jbs, 52% are giving freelancing serius cnsideratin. What's mre, many are chsing freelancing ver full-time wrk; it's n lnger just a fallback r a side jb.
One f the key benefits f freelancing is that yu get t chse yur wn wrklad. Unrealistic expectatins at wrk and the lack f bundaries have seen many a full-time wrker burn ut. Hwever, freelancers have much mre cntrl ver their wrklads. This is nt t say that freelancers dn't burn ut. They manage their wrklad better and priritize ther aspects f their life. They dn't usually get t chse their bss r their teammates at a traditinal jb. They get t chse wh they wrk with. Unlike full-time wrkers, freelancers have greater freedm t d the wrk they enjy—and say n t the wrk they dn't. This results in greater jb satisfactin.
Of curse, there are disadvantages f pursuing freelancing. Emplyees in many cuntries receive benefits that are part f their emplyment cntracts. When yu're a freelancer, yu wrk fr yurself s yu let g f these benefits. Yur wrklad may be incnsistent. Smetimes when it rains, it purs and yu may have multiple prjects n yur plate. At ther times, yu may nt have much wrk. This fluctuatin in cash flw can feel like a huge negative fr new freelancers. As a business wner, yur business's success r failure is entirely dependent n yu, which can feel verwhelming. Yu will als have t learn t becme yur wn best advcate, prmting yur prducts t find new prjects and clients and expand yur business.
Of curse, t freelance r nt t freelance depends n yurself. Anyway, businesses are increasingly adding skills. Independent prfessinals are pwering the rebuild. Therefre, mre businesses are pen t remte wrk, hiring talent irrespective f their distance frm a crprate ffice. This changing attitude has increased the number f pprtunities fr freelancers t find high-paying and meaningful wrk.
28. What cntributes t a freelancer's greater jb satisfactin?
A. Making self-selectin f jb types.
B. Being free frm taking respnsibility.
C. Enjying welfare prvided by gvernment.
D. Develping harmnius interpersnal relatinships.
29. What des the underlined wrd "fluctuatin" in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Develpment. B. Unsteadiness. C. Inefficiency. D. Exchange.
30. What will a freelancer have t d t develp his business?
A. Market himself. B. Cnsult prfessinals.
C. Depend n clients. D. Imprve emplyment cntracts.
31. What des the authr think f the future f freelancing?

Off Australia's nrthern cast, the remains f ancient cral reefs （珊瑚礁） frm the bedrck f wded islands, which are hme t diverse animals and plants, including mangrve （红树林） frests that blanket their casts and serve as vital habitats and carbn strers. Arecent survey shws that expanding seas might have led t a massive mangrve increase, researchers reprt Nvember 1 in Prceedings f the Ryal Sciety B.
Mangrves absrb carbn dixide and stre it as "blue carbn", a term fr carbn that is hidden away in cean envirnments. "There's a lt f interest in using mangrve blue carbn t lessen climate change," says Kerrylee Rgers, an envirnmental scientist at the University f Wllngng in Australia. But there remain a lt f questins arund their capacity t adapt t sea level rise.
In 2021, a team led by Wllngng envirnmental scientist Sarah Hamyltn visited the Hwick Islands t d a related research. They walked thrugh the seawater t assess the plant diversity and measure individual trees. Using the measured widths and heights f several mangrves, the team calculated tree widths fr the rest f the frest frm the data t estimate the ttal mangrve quantity. The islands hst nearly 54,000 metric tns f mangrves, the team estimates, which is rughly 10,000 mre metric tns than there was in 1973.
The Hwick Islands are uniquely suited t supprting mangrves as the cean rises. At the end f the Last Glacial Maximum, arund 12,000 years ag, water levels rse arund nrthern Australia, and cral reefs grew upward t fill the space that had pened fr them. When sea levels fell thusands f years later, the expsed reefs became sediment （沉积物）. With sea levels nw rising again, the mixture f saltwater and sediment makes a perfect hme fr the salt-tlerant mangrves.
Rgers and Hamyltn are nw wrking n a bigger effrt t study mangves arund Australia. "If we're ging t invest in mangrves t prvide us blue carbn and t prtect shrelines, we need t understand hw dynamic they are," Rgers says.
32. What can be knwn abut blue carbn?
A. It is prduced by cean water. B. It is massively present in the air.
C. It is friendly t envirnment. D. It is nutritius fr mangrves.
33. What is the purpse f Hamyltn's research?
A. T measure the size f mangrves.
B. T figure ut where t plant mangrves.
C. T cnfirm whether lcal natural envirnment is plluted.
D. T see hw the mangrves respnd t sea level rise.
34. What makes the Hwick Islands the suitable habitats fr mangrves?
A. The diversity f cean life.
B. The increase f cral reefs.
C. The cmbinatin f salt water and sediment.
D. The frmatin f the bedrck f wded islands.
35. What is the suitable title f the text?
A. Climate Change Causes Sea Level Rise
B. Sea Level Rise Helps Mangrves Bst
C. Envirnment n Australia Islands Is Imprving
D. Climate Warming Pses Dangers T Mangrves

First, get ready fr a painful start. T many peple, getting up early in the mrning can be a great pain, especially in cld winter days. S, early t bed, early t rise, and make it a habit. Of equal imprtance is t keep an pen mind. Even if yu've made enugh preparatin and determinatin, there are still times when yu want t quit. My advice is t accept the setback, and instead f giving up, keep ging. Anther helpful way is t find smene t be tgether with yu. This can make things mre interesting. He r she nt nly gives yu cmpany but als serves as a mnitr.Dear fellw students,
