I’ve wrked in the factries surrunding my hmetwn every summer since I graduated frm high schl, but making the transitin between schl and full-time blue-cllar wrk during the break never gets any easier. Fr a student like me wh cnsiders any class befre nn t be uncivilized, getting t a factry by 6’clck each mrning is trture. My friends never seem t understand why I’m s relieved t be back at schl r that my summer vacatin has been anything but a vacatin.
There’re few peple as self-cnfident as a cllege student wh had never been ut in the real wrld. Peple my age always seem t verestimate the value f their time and knwledge. In fact, all the classes did nt prepare me fr my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which wuld jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward r upside dwn.
The mst stressful thing abut blue-cllar life is knwing yur jb culd disappear vernight. Issues like dwnsizing and verseas relcatin (迁移) had always seemed distant t me until my c-wrkers tld me that the unit I was wrking in wuld shut dwn within six mnths and mve t Mexic, where peple wuld wrk fr 60 cents an hur.
After wrking 12-hur shifts in a factry, the ther pinins have becme nly t clear. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy rewrites seems t irrespnsible after seeing what I wuld be ding withut schl. All the advice and public-service annuncements abut the value f an educatin that used t sund stale (陈腐的) nw ring true.
These lessns I’m learning, hwever valuable, are always mixed with a sense f guilt. Many peple pass their lives in the places I briefly wrk, spending 30 years where I spend nly tw mnths at a time. “This jb pays well, but it’s hell n the bdy,” said ne c-wrker. “Study hard and keep reading,” she added.
My experiences in the factries have inspired me t make the mst f my cllege years befre I enter the real wrld fr gd.

When yu see smene take that first sip f freshly made milk tea, their faces lk like pure jy. Acrss the wrld, custmers flck t their favrite spts t meet with friends and savr sips f these tasty drinks.
In the early 2000s, thugh, milk tea was just cming n the scene. The few brands that earned a fthld in the industry were cncerned: Wuld milk tea just be anther fad (一时风尚) fd? And with s much new excitement fr this prduct, wuld peple be able t distinguish milk tea cmpanies? These were the questins that Serenitea, a Manila- based milk-tea cmpany, faced in2014. While successfully pening 60 stres, they fund themselves in a strategic fg.
Unsure f what cnsumers truly felt twards the drink, they ffered as many flavrs as pssible. They als had n clear definitin f hw they were distinct — their brand prmise, prduct line, and prduct packaging all seemed nearly identical t their cmpetitrs. Hw culd they define themselves, in a way that wuld deeply resnate?
Like Airbnb Serenitea partnered with an agency, CIA Btleg Manila, which specializes in drilling dwn t the deep cnsumer “why”. The agency cnducted a series f psychlgical-based market research. Specifically, they prbed the cnsumer’s deeper, emtinal cnnectins t milk tea, including their earliest childhd memries f milk and tea. Their research revealed that milk tea triggered three cnsistent psychlgical respnses.
Peple cnnected t milk thrugh the cncept f nurturing; they fndly remembered their childhd and being cared fr by their mthers. Next, cnsumers cnnected tea t its healing prperties; respndents wuld recall receiving tea when they had indigestin prblems r seeing their parents drinking herbal tea fr health reasns. Lastly, they assciated milk tea itself with teenage fun: a guilty pleasure f their yuth. They had uncvered the three psychlgical crnerstnes f the milk tea experience: nurturing, healing, and teenage fun. This set f insights was crucial. By including them int the cre f their brand strategy, they charted an entirely new path.
8. What d the underlined wrds “earned a fthld” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Made an adjustment.B. Wn a psitin.
C. Lst the initiative.D. Achieved a breakthrugh.
9. What was Serenitea’s main cncern in 2014?
A. Being cnfused with ther brands.B. The rapid grwth f milk tea brands.
C. The pssibility f milk tea catching n.D. Falling behind the changing cnsumer tastes.
10. What did CIA Btleg Manila specialize in?
A. Prduct packaging design.B. Market expansin strategies.
C. Analysis f custmer psychlgy.D. Flavr innvatin and develpment.
11. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. A New Path t Business SuccessB. Three Crnerstnes f Milk Tea
C. Sharing the Pure Jy f Milk TeaD. Revealing Milk Tea Psychlgy

Elephants are the largest land mammals n Earth, and understanding them better culd lead t big scientific breakthrughs in science. Bth delicate and study, elephant trunks (象鼻) can grasp a single leaf but can als carry nearly 600 punds. Scientists think that they are an incredible inspiratin fr the next generatin f bi-inspired (仿生) rbts.
By cnducting a high- reslutin mtin capture analysis f elephants’ trunks, researchers fund elephants have a set f simple mvements that they can integrate freely t handle bjects f varius shapes and sizes. Fr example, elephants use suctin (吸力) t pick up lightweight bjects. Hwever, t pick up heavier things, they use suctin t secure the psitin f the bjects and trunk wrapping t hld and lift things. “It’s nt the whle trunk that is lengthening r shrtening — it’s different parts, relying n what the elephant is ding,” said Milinkvitch, prfessr f the physics f bilgy at the University f Geneva, Switzerland.
Researchers als perfrmed CT scans and MRIs n the trunk f a dead elephant. They used high- reslutin cameras t create a 3D mdel f a trunk, allwing them t better understand the structure f an elephant’s muscle grups, skin and cnnective tissues. The study data will be used t help design an innvative“ sft” rbtic arm.“ The data is exceptinal, but nw the effrt is t translate this bilgical data int sme engineering specificatins,” Milinkvitch said. “We need t extract sme simplifying principles that can make the rbt’s behavir simple enugh t be effective and adaptable t changes.”
The prject is als fueling advancements in material science, as researchers have develped a new material similar t the useful prperties f elephant skin and can be 3D printed fr rbtic prttypes (原型). The new materials may be cmmercialized fr a wide range f uses.
12. What des the underlined wrd “study” in paragraph l prbably mean?
A. Strng.B. Brad.C. Sensitive.D. Rugh
13. Hw des an elephant handle different bjects?
A. By securing the psitin f these bjects at first.
B. By cmbining suctin with trunk mvements flexibly.
C. By sucking them with all the strength.
D. By stretching its trunk based n things’ sizes.
14. Why d researchers translate the bilgical data?
A. T test the safety f the rbtic arm.B. T upgrade the appearance f the rbt.
C. T imprve the behavir f the rbt.D. T study the structure f muscle tissues.
15. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Elephant Trunks: The Thery f Mvement in Rbtics
B. Elephant Trunks: The Inspiratin fr Sft Rbtics
C. “Sft” Rbtic Arms: An Innvatin in 3D- printed Rbts
