Editors note: Whether people are overworked recently made headlines when several internet company bosses said the only way for employees to achieve success is through harder work and longer hours. Forum readers share their opinions. Cecilia Working too many hours only means you arc time-wasting and inefficient(低效的).This means it takes you longer to produce something than someone else. A good manager knows how to encourage his employees to work in their full ability instead of expecting them to work late even if they don't have something to do. People who stay in their office until late hate their jobs and it affects their performance, as well as other ways of their life. Rosemary Overworking is just modem slavery. In many countries, overworking would be attacked because it shows poor work performance, and the boss would prefer you work in a better way 7 hours and then go back home than 8 hours with poor performance. Nervy Nowadays, it’s hard for a young person to build a good future, for pressures are on his or her shoulders: housing, children, parents, themselves, etc. But everyone must keep working hard to have them on the way to the good future, which is not certain. What’s sure is that if you're lazy and don’t work hard, no good future will come. Sunny I don't think anyone wants to work overtime The fact is the competition is so extreme if you don’t work hard someone will easily and willingly replace you, especially in the IT industry. Employees are told they need to work longer hours or they won't get raised. It is time to give up the culture of overworking. 【1】What will happen if Cecilia is forced to overwork? A.She will perform to her full ability. B.She will feel unhappy to do it. C.She will ask the employer to do it. D.She will encourage other workers to do it. 【2】Whose idea is a little bit different from the others? A.Cecilia. B.Rosemary. C.Nervy D.Sunny. 【3】In which part of the newspaper can you find the passage? A.Culture. B.Business. C.Lifestyle. D.Opinion. |

It was early in the spring about 15 years ago when I was a young police reporter, driving to a scene I didn't want to see. A man had accidentally backed his pickup truck over his baby granddaughter in the driveway of the family home. As I arrived. I saw a while-haired man in cotton work clothes standing near a truck, looking totally confused, he was trying to answer the reporters 'questions. Mostly he was only moving his lips, blinking and choking up. After a while the reporters gave up oil him mid fo1lowed the police into the small white house. A few minutes later, with all the details in my notebook and a three-by-five photo in my jacket pocket I went toward the kitchen where die police had said the body was. I had brought a camera in with me. Entering the kitchen, I came upon this scene. On a table lay the tiny body, wrapped in a clear white sheet. Somehow the grandfather had managed to stay away from the crowd He was sitting on a chair beside the table, looking helplessly at the dead body. As I watched, the grandfather slowly leaned forward, held the little in his arms and remained still. In that moment I recognized the makings of a prize-winning news photograph. I raised the camera...... Every element of the picture was perfect I don't know how many seconds I stood there, unable to press that shutter (快门). I fully realized the powerful story-telling value that photo would have, and my professional conscience (良心) told me to lake it. Yet I couldn't make my hand move and break into the poor man’s inner sadness. At last I lowered the camera and moved away quietly with doubt about my suitability for the journalistic profession (职业). Now, sometimes, as I'm watching news, I remember that day. I still feel right about what I did. 【1】Why did the author drive to the man's house? A.To comfort the poor man. B.To perform a duty.

D.Because his conscience told him to do so. 【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the story? A.To describe a heart-broken scene. B.To tell one of his experiences. C.To learn from other photo takers. D.To persuade people to pity others |

The Southern Ocean is well known for its storms, which can sink ships and cause flooding on distant islands. Now, a new study suggests the biggest waves there already the world's largest—are getting bigger, thanks to faster winds. For the past 33 years, global satellites have been collecting data on ocean waves—and the winds that drive them. But explaining the data is difficult: different satellites can give different wind speeds. To reduce those differences, Ian Young and Augustine’s Ribald , at the University of Melbourne in Australia, compared information from different satellites and corrected their data against an independent data set collected by a global network of buoys (浮标) floating in the ocean. When they were done, a trend stood out: since 1985, ocean wind speeds in most of the world have increased between 1 centimeter and 2 centimeters per second per year, leading to increases in wave height in many places. In the Southern Ocean, the trend is particularly strong. For example, although wind speeds there have increased by 2 centimeters per second each year, the speed of the top 10% fastest winds has increased by 5 centimeters per second per year. And although average (平均的) wave heights there have increased by just 0.3 centimeters per year, the top 10% highest has grown by an average of 1 centimeter per year a growth of 30 centimeters since 1985, they report today in Science. Young and Ribald have done a good job of cross-checking and double-checking from the three different types of satellite instrument, says Ole Johan at the University of Bergen in Norway. But, he adds, it might be “optimistic” to think that the data now contain no errors Confirming the ire I likely require more work, he believes. 【1】What caused the world’s largest waves in the Southern Ocean? A.The satellites B.The storms C.The winds D.The floods 【2】Which of the following can best explain “trend” underlined in Paragraph 3? A.deep thought B.novel method C.special goal D.general direction 【3】What can be learned from the study in the Southern Ocean? A.Wave heights have risen by 2 centimeters since 1985. B.Winds speeds have grown by 30 centimeters each year. C.The top wave heights have slowly fallen since 1985. D.The top fastest wind speeds have been on the rise. 【4】What does Ole Johan's attitude towards the new study? A.He thinks highly of it. B.He takes no interest in it. C.He shows concern about it. D.He says no to it. |

The market for ride sharing is starting to look like a pie-eating competition where the prize is more pie. Lift went public on March 29, and the stock (股票) almost immediately went into a quick drop as money-providers noticed that the company hadn’t made any money yet and didn’t have any clear plans to do so. On April 11，Umber went public in the stock market too. The company said it commands more than 50 percent of the ride-hailing (叫车服务) market in America and Europe and had an operating loss of S3 billion last year, about three times as much as Lift lost. Think about that: those two companies lost nearly ＄4 billion in a single year transporting people. What's happening in the ride-sharing market is special in a number of ways. First, it offers what is called “network effects”: The more riders you have, the easier it is to attract and send drivers, and the more drivers you have, the more riders you will attract. Markets that display network effects prefer to benefit a few players, and possibly only one. Second, ride sharing has low changing costs. It's simple lo get both apps on your phones, and many riders and drivers do just that, which means fierce competition over every single ride. There are only two ways that the price war can end. Either Umber and Lift come to some son of agreement to slop selling their services below cost, or at least one of the companies may need to die. And so the pie-eating competition may continue forever, until everyone bursts. There may finally be no route to money for these companies, no payoff tor money-providers. The number of major ride-sharing companies may not be two or even one, but none. 【1】What do Umber and Lift have in common? A.Going public in stock market. B.Enjoying a financially bright future. C.Entering for the pie-making competition. D.Benefiting the money-providers. 【2】What do we know about "network effects"? A.More network companies will survive. B.More riders will attract more driven. C.More players will crowd the market D.More drivers will give up the use of apps. 【3】What is one way out to end the price war? A.Arriving at a win-win agreement. B.Putting more money into the market. C.Selling services below cost. D.Having free access to either company. 【4】What can be the best title for the text? A.Riding-hailing market, we’re coining. B.Umber or Lift, who cares? C.Locked in a price war only two ways out. D.The prize for a pie-eating competition. |

It's quite obvious what failure is part of our life. And no one can live their without suffer from failure, for which some people cry, some get drunk, and the others even become depressed for a long time. But does remember that failure is the mother of success. So it is not wise to look on failure the end of the world. Disappointment, sadness and complaining are both useless. In my opinions, we should develop a positively attitude towards it and face it bravely. If we treated failure as an opportunity to learn, we can improve but get nearer to success day by day. |
