21、 On Wednesday a powerful earthquake hit Amatrice that was at the epicenter, which is the point in the earth's surface directly above where the earthquake happens. The town's clock tower was the only building still standing. Italy's prime minister said the earthquake had killed at least 120 people, and warned that the number might increase. There were several villages that were affected in farther mountainous areas. The earthquake was also felt as far away as Rome, 100 miles from the epicenter.
Earthquakes can't be predicted. There are warning systems that can save some lives, but only under certain conditions. Unlike a tornado warning where radar can see it and issue a warning before it, an earthquake warning happens when the earth is already shaking. We don't have a system that can predict when the earth is going to shake. Our warning system is based on the fact that the earth is already shaking. The warning depends on how far you are from the earthquake epicenter. If you're at an earthquake epicenter, you're going to get no warning. If you're far away from the epicenter, we can give you some time to prepare.
Another condition is how close the sensor is to the epicenter. If the sensor is 10 miles away from the epicenter, it takes five seconds to get to that sensor. So, the more sensors we get, the more time we'll get as well. If you get 10 seconds notice of an earthquake that's happening, especially a big one, you can open up the lifts on the nearest floor. You can also stop all the things that are moving before the shaking gets there. If you're 30 miles away, your warning could be 15 seconds. It is 15 seconds that can save your life.
【1】What can be learned from the first paragraph?
A．The earthquake happened on Monday.
B．The earthquake destroyed all the buildings.
C．Fewer than 120 people lost their lives.
D．Rome is 100 miles away from Amatrice.
【2】What can we say about the earthquake warning?
A．It can always give us time to prepare.
B．It is different from the tornado warning.
C．It can tell us where the earthquake will be.
D．It can predict when earthquakes will happen.
【3】How far might you be from the epicenter with 10 seconds notice of an earthquake?
A．5 miles.
B．10 miles.
C．20 miles.
D．25 miles.
【4】What is the purpose of the text?
A．To report a powerful earthquake.
B．To introduce the earthquake warning.
C．To compare earthquakes with tornados.
D．To explain how the earthquake happens.
22、The new year is the moment when people vow to improve their fitness. They join gyms, swear off alcohol and adopt healthier diets. These resolutions usually do not last beyond January.
But some employers try to help their workers stick to their goals by offering “wellness” programmes. One of the longest-running examples began in 1979 at Johnson& Johnson (j & j), an American health-care company. The plan promotes weight loss, smoking quitting and efforts to reduce blood pressure.
The firm claims it reduced medical costs by $400 an employee per year, and resulted in fewer workers suffering from heart disease or high blood pressure.Yet an examination of the data by Martin Cherniack of the University of Connecticut found that in 2005-08, a sharp jump in alcohol use, depression and stress among j & j employees occurred. This was in line with a period when the firm had a target of lifting productivity by 9% a year. So the employees may have been fitter, but it is possible that workplace pressure to produce more meant greater stress.
All this suggests that employee well-being is a rather more complex topic than can be tackled by a programme devoted to exercise and healthy living. A study by Rand Europe, a research institute, found that obvious bad habits such as smoking and high alcohol use were in fact not associated with lower productive, while obese workers were no more likely to take time off than anyone else. The biggest productivity problems were associated with lack of sleep, financial concerns and mental-health issues-factors that may well be directly linked to work-related stress.
It seems reasonable for companies to expect some level of economic return from any wellness programme that they provide. But the trade-off should not be too blatant. Making employees fitter so you can work them a lot harder seems rather like drilling your infantry on a course before sending them to face the machine guns. A better impact on morale (and thus productivity) might occur if workers felt that their managers had a genuine interest in their welfare.
【1】What can we learn from the example of Johnson & Johnson?
A．A wellness program contributes to higher productivity.
B．A wellness program alone can't achieve the desired effect.
C．Many companies show much concern about their employee's health.
D．A health program may result in bad consequences.
【2】What does the study by Rand Europe indicate?
A．Good living habits help improve motivation.
B．Work-related pressure plays a vital role in low productivity.
C．Financial concerns have nothing to do with productivity.
D．Obesity is associated with lower attendance in the workplace.
【3】What does the underlined word “blatant” mean?
A．Obvious.
B．Effective.
C．Challenging.
D．Flexible.
【4】What’s the purpose of this text?
A．To compare various factors affecting productivity.
B．To introduce a new way of increasing productivity.
C．To appeal to employers to improve their health care program.
D．To question some seemingly effective practice in business management.
