Gabriela worked for a multinational company as a successful project manager in Brazil.Later she was transferred to manage a team in Sweden.She was excited about her new role but soon realized that managing her new team would be a challenge.
Despite their friendliness，Gabriela didn't feel respected as a leader.Her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings，and when she gave them instructions on how to carry out a task，they would often go about it in their own way without checking with her.When she announced her decisions on the project，they would continue giving their opinions as if it was still up for discussion.
What Gabriela was experiencing was a culture shock in expectations.Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede uses the concept of "power distance" to describe how power is distributed（分布） in different cultures.In her previous work environment，Gabriela was used to a high power distance culture where power is respected.In such a culture，leaders make the big decisions and are not often challenged.Her Swedish team，however，were used to working in a low power distance culture where employees often work together with their bosses to find solutions and make decisions.Here，leaders act as coaches who encourage independent thought and expect to be challenged.
When Gabriela became aware of the cultural differences between her and her team，she had an open conversation with them about their feelings about her leadership.
Pleased to be asked for their thoughts，Gabriela's team openly expressed that they were not used to being told what to do.They enjoyed having more room for initiative and creative freedom.When she told her team exactly what she needed them to do，they felt that she didn't trust them to do their job well.
With a better understanding of the underlying reasons behind each other's behaviour，Gabriela was able to make adjustments to her management style.Finally，she effectively motivated her team to achieve their goals.

4.  What problem did Gabriela have with her Swedish team at the beginning？ ______

A. Her authority was challenged by her Swedish staff.

B. Independent thinking and mild character.
C. Active participation and creative thinking.
D. Professional spirit and risk-taking behavior.

6.  Which of the following can best describe Gabriela？ ______

A. Bossy and rude. B. Strict but trustworthy.
C. King but stubborn. D. Flexible and communicative.

7.  What can we learn from Gabriela's story？ ______

3 D printing is becoming more and more popular.We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3 D printers.But can you imagine printing food？
Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this.They hope that having a 3 D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender.
Scientists say that it'll be quite easy：You simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food"inks"into the printer.You can also modify the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it.This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.
Using 3 D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment.There would be less need for traditional growing，transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient.Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphagia （a swallowing disorder）.They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble swallowing them.
However，some people think that a future of 3 D food printing would be a disaster.It could take away many jobs，including those from growing，transporting and packaging food.Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw"food ink".Likewise，traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business.Also，there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food：Is it really possible to get the nutrients we need from food-based inks and gels（凝胶）？
What's more，cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity.It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.

8.  Which of the following best describes 3 D food printing？ ______

A. Quick and popular. B. Easy and efficient.
C. Nutritious and tasty. D. Soft and convenient.

9.  Why do some think that 3 D food printing would be a disaster？ ______

A. Traditional food would disappear.
B. Many people could lose their jobs.
C. It would affect the people's health.
D. We could all eat the same food.

10.  What can we infer from the passage？ ______

A. 3 D food printing will replace traditional cooking.
B. 3 D printing food can treat dysphagia.
C. 3 D food printing would hurt our tradition of food culture.
D. 3 D food printing would be a failure.

11.  Which of the following can be the best title for the text？ ______

A. 3 D Food"Printing"：Coming to the Kitchen.
B. Can 3 D Printing Create Everything？
C. 3 D Printing Food Will Be in Fashion!
D. The Disadvantage of 3 D Food Printing.

D

As the effects of climate change become more disastrous，well-known research institutions and government agencies are focusing new money and attention on an idea：artificially cooling the planet，in the hopes of buying humanity more time to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
That strategy，called solar climate intervention （干预） or solar geoengineering，involves reflecting more of the sun's energy back into space - abruptly reducing global temperatures in a way that imitates the effects of ash clouds flowing out from the volcanic eruptions.The idea has been considered as a dangerous and fancied solution，one that would encourage people to keep burning fossil fuels while exposing the planet to unexpected and potentially threatening side effects，producing more destructive hurricanes，wildfires floods and other disasters.
But，as global warming continues，producing more destructive hurricanes，wildfires floods and other disasters，some researchers and policy experts say that concerns about geoengineering should be outweighed by the imperative to better understand it，in case the consequence of climate change become so terrible that the world can't wait for better solutions.
One way to cool the earth is by injecting aerosols （气溶胶） into the upper layer of the atmosphere.where those particles reflect sunlight away from the earth.That process works，according to Douglas MacMartin，a researcher at Cornell University.
"We know with 100% certainty that we can cool the planet，" he said in an interview.What's still unclear，he added，is what happens next.Temperature，MacMartin said，is an indicator for a lot of climate effects. "What does it do to the strength of hurricanes？" he asked， "What does it do to agriculture production？What does it do to the risk of forest fires？"
Another institution funded by the National Science Foundation will analyze hundreds of simulations of aerosol injection，testing the effects on weather extremes around the world.One goal of the research is to look for ：the amount of artificial cooling that can reduce extreme weather events without causing broader changes in regional rainfall patterns or similar impacts.

12.  Why do researchers and government agencies work on cooling the earth？ ______

A. To prevent natural disasters.
B. To win more time to reduce gas emissions.
C. To imitate volcanic eruptions.
D. To encourage more people to burn fossil fuels.

13.  What are researchers worried about in terms of global warming？ ______

A. More volcanoes will throw out.
B. More solar energy will go into space.
C. More disasters will endanger the future of the world.
D. People will keep burning fossil fuels to keep warm.

14.  What can be inferred from Douglas' words in an interview？ ______

A. He thinks more research remains to be done.
B. He is optimistic about the effect of cooling the earth.
C. He is concerned about the reduction in agriculture production.
D. He disapproves of the practice of solar climate intervention.

15.  What does the underlined words "sweet spot" in the last paragraph mean？ ______

A. The rainfall pattern of a region.
B. The modest drop in temperature.
C. The number of extreme weather events.
D. The injection amount of aerosol.

38.  "Whoa!What are you doing？ " I asked,shocked.
I had just walked into my daughter's room as she was working on a science project.Normally,I would have been pleased at such a sight.But this time,her project needed sand,a lot of it.And,while she had put some plastic below her work area,it wasn't nearly enough.The sand was spreading all over our newly decorated floors.
My daughter,who immediately felt my displeasure,began to defend herself. "I used plastic!" she responded angrily.
I reacted more angrily, "But the sand is getting all over!"
"Where else am I supposed to do it？" she yelled.
Why won't she admit （承认） when she's done something wrong？I thought to myself.I felt my fear,projecting into the future：What would her life look like if she couldn't admit her mistakes？
My fear translated into more anger,this time about how important it was for her to admit mistakes,and we began to argue.She said something that felt disrespectful to me and I raised my voice.It started to get out of control.This scene had happened in my family over and over again,a hysterical （歇斯底里的） daughter and a yelling mom.It usually started with unrealized expectations and ended in anger,frustration （挫败），sadness,and loss of confidence on both sides.
I tried my best to calm down,but somehow I stormed out of her room.Just at the moment,her door shut heavily behind me.How could she do this to me!So angry was I that I decided to give her a lesson.When my husband came back from work,seeing the look on my face,he figured out what had happened almost at once. "A rough fight again？" Eddie asked.After hearing the whole thing,he said gently "Have you ever thought that maybe you should have given her a chance to explain the situation before you lost your temper？" His words set me thinking,I began to reflect on my behaviors.

I couldn't believe what I just heard.I couldn't help crying and regretted what I had just done.【高分句型二】I wiped my eyes,turned around,took my daughter's hand and said, "Moms shouldn't get mad at you without listening to your explanation.I will learn to control myself in the future."
