Among the coronavirus’s many effects is a boom (突然风靡的时期) in remote workers, who try to get accustomed to a work-from-home lifestyle. Matt Mullenweg, CEO of a software company, said that “it might offer an opportunity for many companies to finally build a culture that allows long-overdue work flexibility.” 1.
Research shows that remote workers gain in productivity. A study led by the Stanford professor Nicholas Bloom examined remote workers at a Chinese travel agency. 2. But research also shows that they often miss in creativity thinking. Steve Jobs believed that Apple employees’ best work came from accidentally bumping into other people. 3. Mr. Jobs said, “You run into someone, you ask what they’re doing, you say ‘Wow,’ and soon you’re cooking up all sorts of ideas.”
4. That’s a good thing if you’re a boss looking to squeeze extra efficiency out of your employees, but less ideal if you’re someone trying to achieve some work-life balance. Mr. Bock, who was previously Google’s top human resources officer, said that for most people, balancing office work with remote work is good. 5. It’s enough to participate in office culture, with some time reserved for deep, focused work.
A.Remote workers also tend to take fewer sick days.
B.Some people are less productive if they work at home.
C.Creativity comes from random meetings and discussions.
D.So it will be an exciting time for some fans of remote work.
E.Many people find it hard to balance their work and their home lives.
F.It found that they were 13 percent more efficient than the office-based ones.
G.The perfect amount of work-from-home time is one and a half days per week.

I’d been trying for weeks to come up with an idea for my next book. And then suddenly the idea came: Why not write about a celebrity reporter signing up as a hospital volunteer so she could gain access to a movie star who was a patient of the hospital? The heroine would be motivated totally by her career until she learned that in helping others, we help ourselves.
Sounded like a romantic comedy with uplifting message, but first, there was the matter of research. I’d have to observe hospital volunteers. I headed over to my nearby hospital and asked the director of volunteers if I might hang around for a day or two just to research my story. Her answer, “No. If you really want to see what it’s like to be a volunteer, you should become one.”
Become a volunteer? I was not wild about being in close to people with germs (细菌). I would just skip the research, I thought, then reminded myself that I did need to spend quality time at the hospital if I wanted to write credibly about my heroine’s journey. So I signed up, was given my uniform and ID badge (徽章), and reported for duty. My “job” was to wheel a magazine cart throughout the large facility and, in the process, be a shoulder to lean on.
At the beginning, my focus was on my novel. And then a funny thing happened: I stopped researching and started realizing that I might actually be making a difference in people’s lives. A woman who’d just been diagnosed with lung cancer thanked me for brushing her hair and applying her lipstick. A man who was wasting away from AIDS called me his “angel”, simply because I took twenty minutes to note down the letter he dictated to his mother.
Now long after finishing my book, I continued to volunteer. Friends would ask, “Isn’t it depressing at that place?” “On the contrary,” I’d say and mean it.
1.Why did the author want to observe hospital volunteers?
A.She intended to write stories about them.
B.She was preparing for her volunteering jobs.
C.She hoped to gain access to a movie star.
D.She wanted to make her heroine’s story realistic.
2.What can we infer from paragraphs 3&4?
A.The author was determined to become a volunteer in the beginning.
B.The author was meant to shoulder the responsibility of the patients.
C.The patients the author met and the appreciation she received changed her.
D.The patients relied on the author to help them survive in the hospital.
3.In what way is the author similar to the heroine of her book?
A.Motivated by their career, they succeed.
B.By lifting other’s spirits, they lift their own.
C.Being volunteers, they spread uplifting messages.
D.By providing support to others, they are appreciated.
4.What can be a suitable title of the passage?
A.My Turn: Life as a Hospital Volunteer.
B.My Discovery: I Can Make a Difference.
C.My Investigation: Celebrities in Hospital.
D.My Identity: a Volunteer in a Hospital.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Our world is more connected than ever before thanks to technology.1.. Indeed, it is becoming increasingly important that we all learn how to deal with this painful feeling.
You should be determined to actively end your loneliness. We often end up passively waiting for someone else to make us feel less lonely. You may feel that your loneliness indicates that nobody is willing to connect with you. And there is nothing you can do about it. But that is far from the truth.2..
You should find reasons why you are lonely. We all feel lonely for different reasons. Some of us have no one else to interact(互动) with on a consistent basis and that's why we feel lonely. You may feel that the people in your life don't share your thoughts and ideas.3., you need to identify it. And you know exactly how to handle your loneliness.
4.. People who are lonely tend to fall into destructive mental habits. They try to avoid the pain of not being understood and being disconnected by not giving people any chance to understand and connect with them.That's not what you should choose to do. Instead, you should share your thoughts and feelings with others and do so openly and fearlessly.
You should find people who share your interests. 5., everybody is interested in something.And just as there are many interests, there are many people who share those interests. Find what interests you and connect with others on that basis.
A.Whatever the reason is
B.Whether it's coin collecting or video games
C.If you have no reason to share your interests
D.You should be true to yourself or actively end loneliness
E.You should be open about your thoughts, ideas and desires
F.Ending loneliness is something that you can and should do actively
G.However, more and more of us find ourselves having to stand loneliness

Work Smarter Not Harder
In Dan Pink’s Free Agent Nation: The Future of Working for Yourself, he closes the book with a long, excellent list of “Work Smarter Not Harder” type advice for people who want to start working for themselves.
1.Below are my favorites.
●Make a “not to” list. Prepare a list that contains all the things you shouldn’t waste your time on useless tasks, unnecessary meetings, worthless phone calls, and so on. 2.
●Carry a notebook and pen. Thomas Edison did it. Virginia Woolf did it. And so did Charles Darwin. They carried a notebook with them everywhere and wrote down ideas that popped into their heads. 3.Trust me: This is a fantastic way to explore ideas and to weave creativity into the fabric of your life.
● 4. Ask questions. Take smart people to lunch. Read. Read some more. Listen to audiobooks. Take classes. Added benefit: This makes life more interesting. Yet another benefit: Studies have shown that people who make constant learning part of their lives end up living longer.
●Guard your calendar. Make sure your time is focused on your one or two top priorities (优先). Ask yourself: “Is this how I want to be spending my time right now?” Remember: You are your calendar. 5.
●Respond to calls and e-mails quickly. Even if your response is,“I’ll get back to you,” try to get back to people within 24 hours. They’ll appreciate the politeness.
A.Be quick, but don’t hurry.
B.So treat your calendar with respect.
C.Become a learning machine.
D.Page through the notebook occasionally.
E.Try to begin your day the same way.
F.Then place it next to your “to do” list and stick to it.
G.Frankly, the list is so good I think everyone would benefit from it.

When you're a teen you start being more aware of what other people think. There seems to be a “right” thing to wear, or say, or do. There also seem to be things that you shouldn’t do-things that could be embarrassing, or lose your points with friends. This can lead to social anxiety.
Some kids feel so anxious that they develop something called social anxiety disorder (障碍), which is diagnosed (诊断) when you worry so much about how you appear to others that you stop doing things you need to and want to do for fear of embarrassing yourself.
Kids with social anxiety disorder aren't just nervous when they’re at parties or giving a speech in class. Even small interactions (互动), like answering a question in class or eating with friends in the cafeteria can feel extremely scary to kids with social anxiety disorder. That's because they fear they might accidentally do something embarrassing or offensive, and it will make others judge or even reject them.
And while kids who are just shy will gradually warm up to new people and situations over time, kids with social anxiety don't. Shyness might hold you back to some degree from doing things, but it won't deeply influence your ability to do your job as a teenager, which is to function in school, function in your family, and to have friends and be a part of your peer-related community. But social anxiety will.
Many teens experience anxiety disorders. Being brave and telling someone how you feel might seem scary, but if you can get over that obstacle, someone will want to listen. Asking for help can be hard, but it really is important.
1.What is the main cause of social anxiety?
A.Lack of friendship. B.One's appearance.
C.School performance. D.Other’s judgment.
2.Who is most likely to be diagnosed with social anxiety?
A.Alice, who skips school to avoid answering questions in class.
B.David, who always thinks he can't do as well as his classmates.
C.Chris, who feels nervous every time he gives a speech in public.
D.Jenny, who has been in low spirits since she failed the last exam.
3.Social anxiety disorder differs from shyness in that .
A.it influences people around you
B.it only makes your grades suffer
C.it greatly affects your normal life
D.it is related to your study or work
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.What Is Social Anxiety Disorder
B.How Social Fear Ruins Relationships
C.Why Teens Suffer from Social Anxiety?
D.When Anxiety Disorders Go Unnoticed

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any prize. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
1.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A. the reasons for success B. the standards of success
C. the importance of success D. what people think success is
2.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________.
A. work makes one feel pain B. one tends to enjoy his work
C. it takes a lot of time to succeed D. one gives up his work easily
3.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Successful people like to show their great skills.
B. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
C. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
4.What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
B. One cannot succeed without time and practice.
C. Having a goal is very important to success.
D. Being good is different from being great.
