Suppse yu becme a leader in an rganizatin. It’s very likely that yu’ll want t have vlunteers t help with the rganizatin’s activities. T d s, it shuld help t understand why peple undertake vlunteer wrk and what keeps their interest in the wrk.
Let’s begin with the questin f why peple vlunteer. Researchers have identified several factrs that mtivate peple t get invlved. Fr example, peple vlunteer t express persnal values related t unselfishness, t expand their range f experiences, and t strengthen scial relatinships. If vlunteer psitins d nt meet these needs, peple may nt wish t participate. T select vlunteers, yu may need t understand the mtivatins f the peple yu wish t attract.
Peple als vlunteer because they are required t d s. T increase levels f cmmunity service, sme schls have launched cmpulsry vlunteer prgrams. Unfrtunately, these prgrams can shift peple’s wish f participatin frm an internal factr (e.g., “I vlunteer because it’s imprtant t me”) t an external factr (e.g., “I vlunteer because I’m required t d s”). When that happens, peple becme less likely t vlunteer in the future. Peple must be sensitive t this pssibility when they make vlunteer activities a must.
Once peple begin t vlunteer, what leads them t remain in their psitins ver time? T answer this questin, researchers have cnducted fllw-up studies in which they track vlunteers ver time. Fr instance, ne study fllwed 238 vlunteers in Flrida ver a year. One f the mst imprtant factrs that influenced their satisfactin as vlunteers was the amunt f suffering they experienced in their vlunteer psitins. Althugh this result may nt surprise yu, it leads t imprtant practical advice. The researchers nte that attentin shuld be given t “training methds that wuld prepare vlunteers fr trublesme situatins r prvide them with strategies fr cping with the prblem they d experience”.
Anther study f 302 vlunteers at hspitals in Chicag fcused n individual differences in the degree t which peple view “vlunteer” as an imprtant scial rle. It was assumed that thse peple fr whm the rle f vlunteer was mst part f their persnal identity wuld als be mst likely t cntinue vlunteer wrk. Participants indicated the degree t which the scial rle mattered by respnding t statements such as “Vlunteering in Hspital is an imprtant part f wh I am.” Cnsistent with the researchers’ expectatins, they fund a psitive crrelatin(正相关) between the strength f rle identity and the length f time peple cntinued t vlunteer. These results, nce again, lead t cncrete advice: “Once an individual begins vlunteering, cntinued effrts might fcus n develping a vlunteer rle identity... Items like T-shirts that allw vlunteers t be recgnized publicly fr their cntributins can help strengthen rle identity”.
() 40. Peple vlunteer mainly ut f .
A. academic requirements B. scial expectatins
C. financial rewards D. internal needs
() 41. What can we learn frm the Flrida study?
A. Fllw-up studies shuld last fr ne year.
B. Vlunteers shuld get mentally prepared.
C. Strategy training is a must in research.
D. Vlunteers are prvided with cncrete advice.
() 42. What is mst likely t mtivate vlunteers t cntinue their wrk?
A. Individual differences in rle identity.
B. Publicly identifiable vlunteer T-shirts.
C. Rle identity as a vlunteer.
D. Practical advice frm researchers.
() 43. What is the best title f the passage?
A. Hw t Get Peple t Vlunteer
B. Hw t Study Vlunteer Behavirs
C. Hw t Strengthen Vlunteers’ Identity
D. Hw t Organize Vlunteer Activities

Since quitting can start feelings such as guilt and shame, we ften d everything pssible t avid it, “We’re taught frm ur earliest days that if yu quit smething, it means yu’re a failure," says the psychlgist Will Meek. He, hwever, suggests we view quitting differently.
Quitting is like deciding t rearrange a rm: yu’ve grwn cmfrtable with the status, and it can be hard t picture the end result r even see why change is necessary. And yet, there’s the upsetting feeling that yu’re n lnger entirely satisfied with yur current circumstances, perhaps even that yu’ve stpped making prgress. While it’s nt ut f the questin fr feelings f regret t surface after a majr refit, leaving a psitin, prject r situatin can reveal exciting pssibilities, making yu feel inspired and renewed.
Quitting, ften happens in situatins where we’re unhappy, fearful r have determined we have n ther chice, factrs that can have ill effects n ur health. Perhaps yu find yur wrk unfulfilling, r yu’ve jumped int a new relatinship befre yu're ready--and, as a result, yu’re perating under intense pressure. “If stress is enduring and nt managed well, it can start t take a tll,” says Meek. Accrding t the American Psychlgical Assciatin, lng-term, nging stress can increase the risk fr high bld pressure and heart attack s walking away frm whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emtinal health benefits. “We ften see a reductin in the stress hrmne crtisl(应激激素皮质醇)”, which can lwer bld pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,” says Dr Alex Lickerman, a GP and expert n develping mental adaptability.
Leaving situatins that fail t bring yu jy can leave yu with sufficient time t explre where yur heart is truly leading yu. In a study that was published in 1999, then Harvard University prfessr Hermina Ibarra lked at hw bankers tried different rles that required new skill sets--smene wh spent a lt f time dealing with cmputers, fr instance, was asked t take n persnal interactins. Subjects(研究对象) were especially drawn t acting ut a versin f their future selves thrugh ‘imitatin strategies’ -- an apprach they cmpared t ‘trying n different clthes.’ Mark Franklin, the president f Career Cycles, suggests a similar apprach as a way t figure ut what yur true desires might be in yur pst-quitting life and fresee yur future self. “Pretend t be a certain kind f persn, r g and meet thers wh are ding what yu want t d,” he says. “Try it n, see hw it feels and decide if it’s a gd fit fr yu.” It may nt feel like it at the time, but just mving n frm a situatin that’s nt quite right can help yu get back n track.
() 44. It can be inferred frm paragraph 2 that quitting may brim us feelings f being bth ________.
A. guilty and ashamed B. stupid and enthusiastic
C. trubled and hpeful D. inspired and determined
() 45. The phrase “take a tll” (paragraph 3) can be best replaced by “________”.
A. develpmental adaptability B. bring abut changes
C. keep up the pressure D. have a bad effect
() 46. An apprach suggested by Mark Franklin similar t ‘trying n different clthes’ is fr________.
A. helping peple find what truly suits them in career
B. telling capable emplyees frm inadequate nes
C. training emplyees t acquire different wrking skills
D. prviding peple with pprtunities t have a rle play
() 47. It can be cncluded frm the passage that________.
A. quitting is a track that nly the timid will chse t fllw
B. persnal interactin can be a must fr reducing emtinal pressure
C. mental adaptability can be imprved by the stress hrmne crtisl
D. knwing when t stp is wise and may make dreams happen
五、六选四
Directins: Read the fllwing passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
A. That is, it is nt an accident that yung emplyees will be different frm lder emplyees.
B. The weaknesses f human nature cause the disharmny amng emplyees.
C. As a result, cmpanies are lking fr individuals wh can manage a wide range f emplyees effectively.
D. Such ptimism in the face f difficulties wuld be a surce f unhappiness between yu and them.
E. Therefre, emplyers shuld pay attentin t the different ways f expressing anger in the cmpany.
F. That individuals frm different generatins shuld cme t view each ther as if they were frm different sides f warring cuntries shuld nt be surprising.
Tday’s wrkplace is unique in histry. Never befre have we seen peple wrking tgether wh represent such different backgrunds and experiences. This difference f age, race, gender, and wrk style makes it very difficult t rganize and run a cmpany.
____48____ Increasingly, managers are discvering that age differences amng wrkers are a majr cause f cncern.
This has been an imprtant realizatin. The management difficulties and challenges have led sme experts t study intergeneratinal differences fr an understanding f prblems in the wrkplace. What they have discvered is interesting and may prvide ways f imprving wrking cnditins in cmpanies that emply individuals frm different generatins.
The first thing t realize, they say, is that differences f pinin abut the imprtance f wrk and hw t get wrk dne are nt a cincidence. ____49____ In fact, if emplyers d nt pay attentin t these differences, it is pssible that anger will build up between peple and lead t difficulties in the cmpany.
Resentment(仇恨) between members f different generatins, if nt attended t, can lead t extreme anger and unhappiness and even lasting enmity if peple are nt careful. ____50____ It is natural fr individuals frm the same generatin t frm alliances(联盟), t cme tgether fr prtectin. Different generatins represent different experiences in life, and these lead naturally t different pinins abut neself and ne’s appraches t wrk.
If yu were raised in a time f plenty, when prducts were readily available and relatively inexpensive, yu wuld believe that prsperity is natural and expectable. If, n the ther hand, yu were raised in a time f scarcity, yu wuld always be careful nt t waste things fr fear yu wuld nt have enugh. Yu wuld make angry peple wh seem t believe that prblems will always slve themselves. ____51____ It is difficult, in such circumstances, t achieve a happy, agreeable atmsphere in the wrkplace.
六、概要写作
Directins：Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint（s）f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
If yu’ve ever sent an email that started with the wrds "Just sending a friendly reminder t please..." we have sme bad news fr yu: It prbably backfired. Nt nly are “friendly reminder” emails ne f the annying email habits yu have, but everyne als secretly hates them.
T yu, reminder email culd simply be “a friendly way t ask fr smething that’s late," Fast Cmpany writes. But unfrtunately, that might nt be the message cming acrss t yur cwrkers. Yu need t quit this bad email habit and stp sending them immediately, and here's why.
Fr ne, if yu use "hedge wrds" such as "kind f," "maybe," "prbably." etc., they will decrease yur credibility with yur cwrkers. Althugh yu might insert thse phrases fr a sfter tne, they als make yu sund insecure and nt cnfident. Be clear with yur chice f wrds, chsing the straightfrward “sending a reminder," instead. Trust yu’re yur emplyees will appreciate the directness.
But that's nt even the wrst part. It's als easy fr thse reminder emails t get lst in peple's inbxes, if nt ignred immediately. With cuntless emails flding in per day, yurs culd easily get lst in the shuffle. Very likely, yur cwrkers will hit the "delete" buttn.
Still, yu need t get their attentin smehw, right? After all, yu have a jb t d! Once yu send the classic reminder email, try scheduling a meeting with the persn via calendar invite. Even re-sending the classic reminder email with a red "urgent" flag culd d the trick. Ding s is practically guaranteed t get the message acrss - and still save face with yur cwrkers.
