I was invited to give a speech at an educators, conference. I happened to sit next to Clay Parker, the CEO of a technology company that makes micro electronics devices. For the last few years, I’d been reading about the rapidly changing world of work and was increasingly concerned that students are not prepared for today’s workplace. Buried in book knowledge, university students talk like a book and always pass exams with flying colours. However, when facing HR staff instead of their teachers, what they have learned seems useless. So I asked Parker what qualities he most wanted in a potential new employee. I expected a list of technical skills - especially since Parker is an engineer himself- but I was way off the mark. “First, I look for someone who asks good questions,” Parker responded. “Our business is changing, and so are the skills of our engineers. We can teach them the technical stuff. But for employees willing to solve problems or to learn new things, they have to know what questions to ask. And we can’t teach them how to ask good questions - how to think. The ability to ask the right questions reflects good thinking ability, the most important quality.” Indeed, the ability to ask good questions has been a repeated theme in almost all of my conversations about core competences and skills for success in today’s workplace. It turns out that asking good questions goes hand in hand with problem solving ability in the minds of most employers. The students have always been brought up to live up to a certain standard and so much emphasis has been put on fixed rules and giving the expected answer of their teachers instead of raising a question. We teachers are always blaming the students for giving wrong answers. Perhaps we should ask ourselves whether we are always asking the right questions. 【1】Why did the author ask Parker the question? A.To bring the CEO’s attention to education. B.To collect information about his company. C.To ask for his opinion about the conference. D.To know his requirements for new employees. 【2】What docs underlined "off the mark" in paragraph 2 mean? A.Mistaken. B.Not qualified. C.Confused. D.Not professional. 【3】What does Parker value his employees for? A.Teamwork. B.Thinking ability. C.Technical skills. D.Professional knowledge. 【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.How to Hunt for a Job B.Asking Questions Matters C.An Encounter with a CEO D.Problem-solving Makes a Difference |

Ant Forest, a green initiative by the world’s leading payment and lifestyle platform Alipay, received the “U.N. Champions of the Earth” award, the UN’s highest environmental honor. It was given to Ant Forest for motivating half a billion people to adopt an eco-friendly and greener lifestyle, greatly contributing to ecological protection with the help of digital technology. Alipay achieved this by inspiring its users to do environmentally-friendly things, such as walking, using public transportation, going paperless in the office and more to earn “green energy points”. These points can then be used to water and grow their own virtual young trees. After the virtual young trees have grown up on line, Ant Forest will plant real trees somewhere in China. The number of Ant Forest users has reached 350 million, reducing 3 million tons of carbon dioxide. “Such programs are quite attractive to me. I feel satisfied to see a real tree planted just by doing some simple things such as riding bicycles and buying tickets online,” said an interviewee. This initiative of Ant Forest is in line with the Chinese government’s strategy of a “Green Economy”. The country is taking aggressive actions in expanding its green coverage. Now, its efforts are paying off, with improved biodiversity and a healthier economic growth. Rare animal species have been spotted and forest parks are now popular attractions of tourism. The planet is at a critical point which could result in natural disasters. It seems clear that unless governments, businesses and people form a focused team, it’s difficult to stop global warming. Fortunately, Ant Forest shows that it is possible to make joint efforts while relying on digital technology. And more initiatives are using technology to contribute to a sustainable future of the planet. 【1】What was Ant Forest given the award for? A.It brings convenience to people’s lives. B.It is run by the world’s leading payment platform. C.It technically assists many people to protect ecology. D.It has made the greatest contribution to global development. 【2】What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.How Alipay makes profits. B.How Ant Forest is carried out. C.What a low-carbon life is like. D.Why Alipay takes up the initiative. 【3】What can we infer from the text? A.350 million people have planted real trees. B.Promoting tourism can help save animals. C.China keeps a balance between economy and ecology. D.The expansion of green coverage mainly results from Ant Forest. 【4】How docs Ant Forest contribute to the sustainable future? A.By criticizing natural disasters. B.By stopping the global warming. C.By providing a platform to make joint efforts. D.By encouraging people to donate money to plant trees. |

The Chinese manned submersible(潜水器) Fendouzhe, over 96.5 percent of whose core components have been independently developed by China, reached one of the deepest spots on the planet, a dizzying and dark depth of 10,909 meters. Extreme water pressure is the first challenge that requires dealing with during the exploration. At 10,000 meters down in the ocean, the submersible has to stand about 1,100 atmospheres of pressure, equal to 2,000 elephants stepping on a person’s back. As the solid “armour (盔甲)”，the manned cabin is a safety guarantee for humans to reach down to 10,000 meters deep in the ocean. To overcome the technical bottleneck, the Chinese researchers developed a new material-Ti62A, successfully solving problems of the strength and toughness of the manned cabin. To avoid risks of crashes in the dark deep sea with complex terrain(地形)，Fendouzhe requires its control system, a smart “brain” to give the exact instructions. Researchers designed a neural network algorithm(神经网络算法), which enables Fendouzhe to travel automatically according to the seabed terrain and locate fixed points. Its control system has reached the international frontier level. The submersible is equipped with two flexible and strong “arms”. Each 7-joint arm with 6 degrees - of - freedom control and a weight-carrying ability of more than 60 kilograms can cover the sampling basket and its front areas. With the arms, Fendouzhe collected samples of ocean rocks, deep-sea living things and seabed sediments(沉淀物). The ocean, especially the deep sea, is widely regarded as Earth's final frontier. Deep down in the ocean are unusual creatures, strange environments and impressive geological wonders, yet humanity knows less about the ocean floor than about the far side of the moon. These samples and data collected from the deep ocean can be used for geological and biological research, as well as study the human impact on the planet. 【1】Why is “2000 elephants” mentioned in paragraph 2? A.To make the numbers accurate. B.To provide a biological explanation. C.To emphasize the importance of the task. D.To describe the degree of the pressure vividly. 【2】What can “arms” do according to paragraph 4? A.Collect ocean samples. B.Land the submersible. C.Provide safety guarantee. D.Prevent crashes intelligently. 【3】Which of the following has reached the world advanced level ? A.The toughness of the cabin. B.The ability of weight-carrying. C.The method of data-collection. D.The technology of control system. 【4】Why do people research the deep ocean according to the last paragraph? A.It is more complex than the moon. B.It is seriously affected by humans. C.To make sure of the depth of the ocean. D.To explore the less-known field of the planet. |

With all the e-book reader apps flooding the Internet, you can simply download a file and then start reading your favourite story or subject matter. 【1】 reading printed books still has its own advantages. 【2】Just imagine this, when the pages on the left side of a book are piling up and the pages on the right side are becoming fewer. Won't you feel satisfied and motivated to move on? Printed books aid people with sleep problems. It's a known fact that many people read before going to bed, which can help them sleep well. But note that they are paper books rather than e-books. 【3】 People who read on e-book tend to sleep badly and are more tired the next day. Printed books exercise reading comprehension and concentration. In a study of middle schoolers, students who read on iPads had lower reading comprehension than reading traditional printed books. They sometimes skipped text in favor of interactions in the e-books which are designed to enhance comprehension. 【4】 That's why so many people prefer printed books. 【5】They are great for you considering that you don't have to carry any extra weight aside from your mobile device. Furthermore, if you want to grab a copy of a freshly released novel, you don't have to visit a bookstore. Instead, all you have to do is just tap on your smart phone or tablet a couple of times. A.While that might sound really easy, B.Since e-books are gaining in popularity, C.Is it possible to have the physical books go digital? D.In that case, students fail the practice of reading text itself. E.To be fair though, e-books should also be given some credit. F.The screen light is found to have a negative effect on the user. G.The turning of pages aids the readers to have a visible sense of achievement. |
