Would you like to work at home in the future? Working from home gets a bad rap (名声）.Google the phrase 一 you’ll see a cheat or low-level jobs.

But Stanford Graduate School of Business professor Nicholas Bloom says requiring workers to be in the office is an outdated work tradition. It ignores(忽视）today’s fine communications methods and long commutes(通勤）and actually hurts firms and workers.

“Working from home is a future-looking technology, ” Bloom told an audience during a program TEDx-Stanford, “and I think it has a bright future. ” To test his idea, Bloom, with co-researcher James, did research on a largest travel company, Chip. They invited volunteers to a study in which half worked from home for nine months, coming into the office one day a week and half worked only from the office. Bloom tracked (跟踪）these two groups for about two years. The results? “We found a 13% improvement in performance from people working at home. ” Bloom Rays. Two reasons led to that uptick: First, people working from home actually work all the time. As to people working from the office, they might be delayed by traffic or take a long-time lunch with a workmate. They are less likely to be on the clock for the full workday. Second, Bloom says, people at home are able to concentrate better. “The office is actually an amazingly noisy environment, ‘ There’s a cake in the break room; Bob’s leaving, so come and join us for dinner. ’”

Also, his study found that workers’ quitting jobs at the company dropped by 50% when they were allowed to work from home.

Bloom hopes this example helps kill the negative (负面的）opinions on working from borne. For workers they’re much more productive and happier. For managers, you don’t have to spend so much time hiring(雇佣）and training people. For firms，you make far more profit (利润）.For society，there，s a huge saving of reducing traffic jams, driving times and，finally, pollution.

1.According to Nicholas Bloom, people working from the office usually　　 .

A.Get low salaries.

B.Have rich working resources.

C.Waste a lot of time on the way.

D.Develop strong communication skills.

2.What does the underlined word “uptick” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

A.Increase. B.Popularity.

C.Failure. D.Fall.

3.What’s an advantage of working from home according to Nicholas Bloom?

A.It can reduce traffic jams and pollution.

B.It makes workers’ family life much happier.

C.It can strengthen the ties of the whole company.

D.It builds up managers’ experience in training workers.

4.We can infer from the passage that　　　　 .

A.working from home will still have a bad rap

B.working at the office is better than at home

C.fewer people will quit jobs in the future

D.working from home is a future-looking

If you have a chance to take a walk in a park, look carefully at the people walking their dogs. You’ll probably find friendly-looking people with friendly dogs; quiet people with quiet dogs; large men with oversized dogs and long-haired women with long-eared dogs. As you’ve probably noticed, dogs and their owners look alike. Have you ever wondered why?

These similarities are so common that researchers have tried to explain them. There are two theories (理论): the convergence (趋同) theory and the selection theory. The convergence theory says that as the owner and the dog spend more time together, they influence each other to the point where they grow similar. In other words, they “converge.”The selection theory, on the other hand, says that owners are interested in dogs that look like them, so they choose those dogs as pets.

Recently, researchers at the University of California decided to test the two theories by taking pictures of 45 dogs separately from their owners. Then they asked some students to match the dogs’ photos with their owners. The students were quite successful with purebred (纯种的) dogs: they correctly matched 16 out of 25 with their owners. However, they had almost no success connecting mixed-breed (杂交的) dogs with their owners. When owners select a purebred dog, they can easily predict (预测) what it will look like later. But that is not true with mixed-breed dogs because it’s hard to predict what a mixed-breed dog will look like when it grows up. And since it was the purebreds not the mixed-breeds that looked like their owners, the research seems to prove the“selection theory”.

But one bit of warning. Although many people look like their dogs, not all dog owners enjoy having the similarity pointed out to them. So, even if the similarity is amazing, don’t go up to a stranger and say,“Wow, you look just like your dog!”

1.The convergence theory explains that the similarity between dogs and their owners _____.

A. decreases with the age of them

B. decreases with increasing differences

C. increases with the period of ownership (所有权, 拥有权)

D. increases with increasing attractiveness

2.According to the selection theory, why do dogs look like their owners?

A. They influence each other.

B. They often do the same thing.

C. Dogs follow what their owners do.

D. Owners pick dogs that look like them.

3.What’s the purpose of the research?

A. To test two similarity theories.

B. To prove the selection theory.

C. To help people choose proper dogs.

D. To show the differences between dogs.

4.What can we learn from the research?

A. Purebred dogs have predictable appearance.

B. Most owners want their dogs to look like them.

C. Mixed-breeds and their owners share similarities.

D. Most owners prefer purebred dogs to mixed-breeds.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well, you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who knows, you might even do as well as meteorologists（气象学家）.

Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data（数据）from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high speed computers. This does give the meteorologists an advantage, because they can track（追踪）weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country. But you have an advantage, too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast that’s several hours old to make a local forecast.

What are you seeing when you look at a cloud? “A picture of moisture(水汽)is doing in the atmosphere,” says meteorologist Peter Leavitt. There’s moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don’t see it, because it’s in the form of an unseeable gas called water vapor. Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the waster vapor to change to liquid water. It’s called condensation(凝结), and we see it happen all the time (for example, when humid air from the shower hits the cold glasses of a mirror). When enough water vapor condenses（冷凝）, droplets(小滴）come in the air. These droplets scatter(分散) light. A cloud is seen.

Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere. You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can signal an approaching storm. But don’t take our word for it; see for yourself.

1.According to the passage, an ordinary person might read the weather forecast as well as meteorologists _________.

A. with some simple practice looking up at the sky

B. with the help of the high-speed computers

C. through complex (复杂的) instruments

D. by visiting a weather station

2.Meteorologists can make their weather forecast　　　　 .

A. by using information of the appearance of the clouds only

B. by collecting data from parts of the world

C. by collecting and analyzing（分析）the data

D. by watching the sky

3.According to the passage, your advantage in weather forecast is that　　　　 .

A. you have a high-speed computer

B. you observe the sky and get your data directly

C. you have more instruments at home

D. you can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country

4.This passage mainly tells us about how to　　　 .

A. train ourselves as meteorologists

B. be an assistant to a meteorologist

C. forecast the weather by ourselves

D. broadcast the weather forecast
