21、A recent study found that the nutritional quality of Icelandic Spirulina algae (螺旋藻) — produced by a cutting- edge biotechnology system in Iceland, is superior to that of beef in terms of protein, essential fatty acids, and iron, and can serve as a healthy, safe, and more sustainable substitute to meat in daily diets.

According to the study, for every kilogram of beef meat replaced with Icelandic Spirulina, consumers will save some 1,400 liters of water, 340 square meters of fertile land, and nearly 100 kilograms of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere. Moreover, the algae may be consumed in different forms, including as wet biomass, or in the form of paste, powder, or pill. For example, one can use Icelandic Spirulina powder as an ingredient in pasta, pancakes, and pastries, or drink an Icelandic Spirulina shake.

While the role of meat in human diets has been helpful, its ecological footprint is considerable and harmful. Raising beef cattle requires arable lands and feeds, and emits greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change and global warming. As the demand for animal-source proteins grows, so do the damages caused by the animal breeding. As a response, humanity is searching for novel ways to ensure its nutritional security.

Algae, especially Spirulina, are considered among the most effective food producers on Earth and can be cultivated using different techniques. It is an autotrophic organism (自养生物) and is dependent on photosynthesis (光合作用) and a supply of carbon dioxide. Thus, unlike many other alternative protein sources, cultivating this food source removes greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and reduces climate change.

Dr. Asaf Tzachor, leading researcher of the study, stressed: “Nutritional security, climate change reduction, and climate change adaptation can go hand in hand. All consumers must do is adopt a bit of Icelandic Spirulina into their meals and diets instead of beef meat. It’s healthier, safer, and more sustainable. Whatever change we wish to see in the world should be clearly shown in our dietary choices.”

【1】What can we learn about Icelandic Spirulina algae?

A．It contains more nutrients than beef.

A．Pay attention to food safety.

23、If you are thinking about asking for a raise in salary, there are several things to keep in mind. First, consider whether you decree a higher salary. 【1】 Sit down and make a list of your job accomplishments. Be as specific as possible. For example, think about important projects you have worked oh, things you have done to improve the organization of work in your department, or how your efforts have brought more money to the company. Also include any professional development opportunities you have taken advantage of recently and be ready to explain how they have improved your performance on the job. 【2】

Bear in mind that salary levels are based not only on performance but also on the market for your particular skills. Before you ask for a raise, you need to do some research. You should investigate the industry standards for salaries for people in similar positions with similar levels of experience 【3】 Your initial(最初的)request should actually be slightly higher than the amount you want in order to leave some room for negotiation. Then, if you have to go lower than this amount, you still end up with something close to what you want.

【4】 If you have recently been given new responsibilities, it makes sense to ask for a higher level of compensation(补偿). On the other hand, if the company is going through financial difficulties, a request for more money will probably not be met with a favorable response. It would be better to wait until the company is in a better financial position.

Finally, never give personal reasons for wanting a higher salary. Your need to pay your child’s college tuition or buy a bigger house is of no concern to your boss. 【5】 That is where you need to keep the conversation.

A．Everyone is eager for a raise in salary.

B．Skills play a key role in your salary level.

C．An important point is the timing of your request.

D．Then you will be better prepared when you meet with your boss.

E．Your salary level should be based on professional considerations alone.

F．You probably do, but you should be able to explain exactly why to your boss.

G．This will help you determine what would be a reasonable amount of money to ask for.

24、   We spend a third of our adult lives working and another big part preparing for our careers. Historically, work was rarely seen as a source of meaning and purpose. During the vast majority of our 300, 000-year human evolution(进化), work was in fact pretty simple. We worked to eat and avoid being eaten. Meaning and purpose came from somewhere else, like spirituality, art, religion, or science.

The idea that we are meant to find meaning at work or to find work meaningful-is a rather modern, if not postmodern, invention. Only one hundred years ago it would have been frequent to see a worker who returned from a typical workday at a factory complain to their folks that they didn’t earn much or they were worn out and rare to see that they complain they didn’t experience a sense of purpose.

Similarly, the idea that we ought to bring our “whole self” to work is a pretty novel and recent form of career advice. Its origins can be traced to William Kahn who invented the concept of employee engagement 30 years ago. His point was that employees differ in the degree to which they identify with their work role. Some see work as merely a job and clock in and out every day, without bringing their whole self to work. Work is just not a core aspect of their identity, and their concept of themselves is built on other social categories like mother, husband, American, Christian, captain of the local soccer team, etc.

Others, however, have very low psychological distance with their work role, seeing it as essentially intertwined(交融的) with who they are. They don’t just come to work, they are fully devoted to their careers and have a spiritual type of connection with their jobs. They are, it seems, almost possessed by work and are the type of workaholics(工作狂) most companies long for.

【1】Why did we spend much of our adult lives working?

A.To prepare for future careers. B.To find the water sources.

C.To help us evolve. D.To make us survive.

【2】Why did the writer mention the worker a century, ago?

A.To help us find meaning at work. B.To prove that the idea was modern.

C.To show us the bad old days. D.To complain about the experience.

【3】Which of the following might William Kahn agree with?

A.Employees have different understandings about their work role.

B.Every employee must bring their whole self to work.

C.To be devoted to work is a pretty novel idea.

D.Workers’ core identity is built on art categories.

【4】What kind of employees do most companies favour?

A.Those who see work as a job.

B.Those who identify with their work role.

C.Those who are fully devoted to their work.

D.Those who possess experience.

25、   Early in my career, I was always shocked by the fact that “expensive” hotels charged extra money for things like Internet access and movies. At the same time, many______ hotels included everything. Although these less expensive hotels did not have ______ lobbies(大堂), they did offer the things that a young and tired______ would want: a clean room and a quiet environment.

For the high prices you pay at nice hotels, everything should be______. They should give refunds(退款)for the things you don’t ______instead of tricking their customers.

I once read an article about a government officer who was invited to a very expensive restaurant in Washington. The restaurant’s food and service were both______. But there was something that ruined his ______: the officer was charged ＄1 for the ice in his ＄7 mixed drink. The fact that he was charged the extra dollar ______ ----instead of just being charged ＄8---made him so ______ that instead of talking about how wonderful everything was at the restaurant, he ______ talked about the ＄1. ______, he never went back to that restaurant again.

I see the_______ thing is starting to happen in the airline industry. For example, American Airlines is charging ＄3. 50 for snacks and ＄7 for meals. Unbelievably, sodas and water are still ______. The airline should just charge a _______price and give you a refund for what you don’t want or use. This will put more power in the hands of a____----the airline might be surprised to find that people are willing to________extra services. Just imagine what could happen if you just trust your customers to make their own ______?

So remember, don't ______ your customers. Instead, charge what you think your service or product is worth and take it from there. This way, you can remove _______services in exchange for lower prices. It becomes a win-win for you and your customers by sharing buying decisions and therefore giving your customers more_______.

【1】A.brilliant B.affordable C.comfortable D.international

【2】A.well-developed B.well-organized C.well-decorated D.well-known
