21、Mind Your"Q's”
Both IQ and EQ are considered important to our career success.【1】Enter adaptability quotient(AQ),a subjective set of qualities loosely defined as the ability to thrive(提高） in an environment of fast and frequent change.
Every profession will require adaptability and flexibility.Say you are an accountant.Your IQ gets you through the examinations to become qualified.Your EQ helps your connect with an interviewer,land a job,and develop relationships with clients and colleagues【2】
All three quotients are somewhat complementary,since they all help you solve problems and therefore adapt.An ideal candidate possesses all three,but not everyone does.【3】While there is no definite method of measuring adaptability like an IQ test,companies are changing their recruitment(招聘）processes to help identify people who may be high in it.
Natalie Fratto,a vice-president at Goldman Sachs,suggests three ways AQ might show in potential candidates:if they can picture possible versions of the future by asking"what if questions;
if they can unlearn information to challenge presumptions;and if they enjoy exploration or seeking out new experiences.
【4】First,limit distractions and learn to focus so that you can determine what adaptations to make.Second,ask uncomfortable questions to develop courage and normalize fear. Third,be curious about things that fascinate you by having more conversations rather than Googling the answer,something that reduces your ability to solve difficult challenges.
Over the next three years,120 million people in the world's largest economies may need to be reskilled because of automation,according to a 2019 IBM study.【5】The ability to learn, change,grow,experiment will become far more important than subject expertise.
A．AQ is now increasingly being sought at the hiring level.
B．One good thing about AQ is that experts say you can work to develop it.
C．We may not all be comfortable with the pace of change-but we can prepare.
D．This is because an algorithm(算法）can do these tasks faster and more accurately than a human.
E．But today,as technology redefines how we work,the skills we need to thrive in the job market are developeing too.
F．Having IQ but no EQ would leave you struggling to embrace new ways of working using your existing skills.
G．Then,when systems change or aspects of work are automated,you will need AQ to accommodate this innovation and adapt to new ways of performing your role.

23、Businesses are now in cost-cutting mode. Title inflation (头衔通胀) has crept into the workplace. Layoffs, hiring freezes and concerns about a recession (经济衰退) are plaguing employers.
To balance this unique economic environment, employers have figured out a way to comfort employees and job applicants without spending more money. They are offering impressive titles to soften the blow of not providing a raise to internal employees or big compensation to job candidates.
An employee’s title is their identity. It gives them credibility in the office and makes them feel more powerful. In this sense, the policy is a sensible way to help keep staff and attract top candidates.
But if you don’t really deserve the new title, it could come back and trouble you. Recruiters will be pleased to find a candidate who is a pe rfect fit for a significant, well-paying position in terms of skills, background, and previous experience. However, a stumbling block arises when they notice the candidate has a higher title than the client offers. Since a recruiter wants to make a placement and earn a fee, they won’t waste time and will seek out other candidates who are a better fit.
Even if the recruiters decide to contact the candidate, there’s a good chance the candidate won’t accept. Because most people aren’t aware that their title was inflated and believe it was a reward for their outstanding performance. Understandably, they would be offended if they received a lower-level post. Now that you are at a certain level, you don’t want to go backward.
What’s more, if your current title is too high, it raises red flags. For example, when searching for a new job, if your title is “director,” but the new role is under that level, the interviewer will curiously inquire, “why do you want to go down in title?” There will be an assumption from the hiring manager that something isn’t right. They may feel that the job seeker is leaving before being fired and willing to downgrade. Rather than trying to figure out the motivations of the candidate, they’ll move on to others who have a cleaner story without any baggage.
【1】What does the underlined word “plaguing” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Shocking.
B．Embarrassing.
C．Troubling.
D．Confusing.
【2】What can we learn about employees with impressive titles?
A．They tend to look down upon others.
B．Their salaries don’t match their titles.
C．Their fear of being fired will disappear.
D．They get a good platform for development.
【3】What will a recruiter probably do if a candidate’s title is higher than the client offers?
A．Have a discussion with the client.
B．Contact the job applicant immediately.
C．Exclude the candidate from consideration.
D．Gather more information about the candidate.
【4】What is hiring managers’ attitude towards those who choose to downgrade?
A．Enthusiastic.
B．Dismissive.
C．Appreciative.
D．Doubtful.
24、 The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and the environment. These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.
David Tillman, a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota, America, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how a diet affected health. He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized (工业化), population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.
The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk of noninfectious(不传染的) diseases like diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease.
Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia. China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20year period. And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on.
And, a diet bad for human beings is also bad for the environment. As the world's population grows, more forests and tropical areas will become farmlands for crops or grasslands for cattle. We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.
Mr. Tillman calls the link among the diet, the environment and human health “a trilemma” — a problem offering a difficult choice. He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.
【1】According to the passage, more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future from ______.
A.transportation B.developing countries
C.agriculture D.developed countries
【2】David Tillman believes that ______.
A.the diet, the environment and human health are closely connected
B.the Western diet is the only choice as the nation industrializes
C.people in tropical areas are more likely to have diabetes
D.traditional diets are more balanced than the Western diet
【3】The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
A.call on us to protect the environment
B.warn us of the risk of the Western diet
C.remind us of the importance of health
D.advise us to have a balanced diet
