21、 Listening has been critical to the career of Richard Mullender, who was a British police officer for 30 years. Eventually he became a hostage negotiator, dealing with everything from crisis interventions to international kidnaps. When he left the force in 2007, he realised that his skills might be applicable in the business world. So he set up a firm called the Listening Institute.
Many people think that good listening is about nodding your head or keeping eye contact. But that is not really listening, Mr Mullender argues. A good listener is always looking for facts, emotions and indications of the speaker's values. And when it comes to a negotiation, people are looking for an outcome. The aim of listening is to find out what the other side is trying to achieve.
The mistake many people make is to ask too many questions, rather than letting the other person talk. The listener's focus should be on analysis. If you are trying to persuade someone to do something, you need to know what their beliefs are. If someone is upset, you need to assess their emotional state. Of course, a listener needs to speak occasionally. One approach is to make an assessment of what the other person is telling you and then check it with them. That gives the other party a sense that they are being understood. The fundamental aim is to build up a relationship so the other person likes you and trusts you, Mr Mullender says.
The pandemic has meant that most business conversations now take place on the phone or online. Some might think this makes listening more difficult; it is harder to pick up the cues that people reveal in their facial expressions and body language. But Mr Mullender says that too much is made of body language. It is much easier to understand someone if you can hear them but not see them, than if you can see but not hear them.
【1】What do we know about Mr. Mullender in paragraph 1?
A．He protected kids internationally.
B．He helped prevent potential dangers.
C．He ensured security of the British police.
D．He founded a company before leaving the army.
【2】What is the aim of listening in negotiations?
A．To look for facts and emotions.
B．To show approval by nodding head.
C．To indicate the speaker's values.
D．To find out what the speaker wants.
【3】What is a proper way for a listener to follow?
A．Comment occasionally.
B．Speak as little as possible.
C．Be in the speaker's shoes.
D．Judge the speaker's content.
【4】What does the underlined word “cues” mean in paragraph 4?
A．expressions
B．clues
C．differences
D．secrets
22、Once there was a piano player in a bar (酒吧). People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.
“I don’t sing,” said the man.
But the lady told the waiter, “I’m tired of listening to the piano.” I want the player to sing!” The waiter shouted across the room, “Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!” So he did.

23、 Nowadays, to work remotely, all you need are a computer and an Internet connection. According to a new study, employees who can work from anywhere else are generally happier than those who work onsite(现场的)in an office.
Video conferencing company Owl Labs surveyed 1,202 full-time US workers from the ages of 22 to 65, and discovered that 62 percent of the respondents worked remotely at least some of the time and 38 percent worked onsite. Of the remote workers, 49 percent worked remotely full-time.
As it turns out, working remotely—or the idea of it—makes people happy, 83 percent of the survey respondents agree that the ability to work remotely would make them happier, and 71 percent of workers who do get to work remotely said their job makes them happy, compared with 55 percent of office-only workers.
In the study, full-time remote workers said they're happy in their job, 22 percent more than people who never work remotely. The reasons why respondents said they decided to work remotely were better work-life balance(91 percent), increased productivity/better focus(79 percent), less stress(78 percent), and to avoid a commute(通勤)(78 percent).
One reason why remote workers might be happier is that they were more than twice as likely to earn more than $100,000 per year. And the higher they were on the corporate(公司的)ladder, the more likely survey respondents were to have the privilege of working remotely: The job levels with the greatest percentages of remote workers were founder/CEO-level(55 percent)and vice president(46 percent).
Loyalty is another factor: Remote workers are 13 percent more likely than non-remote workers to stay with their current job for the next five years—making remote work a win-win for employees and employers alike.
Not only are remote employees happier, but they are prepared to work longer hours, according to the report. Remote workers said they work over 40 hours per week, 43 percent more than on-site workers do.
【1】What can he learned about the respondents in the survey by Owl Labs?
A.49 percent work remotely full-time.
B.55 percent are not satisfied with their work.
C.83 percent prefer to work in an office.
D.About 40 percent are office-only workers.
【2】Compared with remote workers, onsite workers are .

24、When we throw a plastic container away, we usually don’t think about what happens to it after it leaves our sight. It turns out that many plastics we use every day are not able to be recycled. Only some of them can be turned into something else. The rest ends up in landfills, or worse, the ocean.
A startup company, ByFusion, in Los Angeles, was in an effort to solve some of the environmental damage caused by discarded plastic.
“Plastic was not invented to be thrown away. Plastic is strong, flexible, and built to last. This is why plastic isn’t the problem. The problem is that we didn’t have a good plan for its future. So now it is thrown into landfills, burned at the edges of towns, and there are continents of it floating at sea killing precious wildlife,” They state on their website.
Their solution? Creating giant Lego-style building blocks using steam compression machines called Blockers. Raw, unwashed plastic waste is fed into the Blocker and made into ByBlocks, which can be used in place of traditional cement blocks and other building materials. ByBlocks require no glues and are 10 pounds lighter than cement blocks, making installation quicker and easier. They won’t break like concrete blocks would, and there’s no special labor needed to use them. They also create zero waste to make — one ton of plastic equals one ton of ByBlock.
ByFusion is currently able to process 450 tons of plastic a year out of their L. A. production facility, and there are 12 more Blockers arriving in US cities in the coming years. “ Our primary goal is to get a Blocker in every city, to enable every city to process their own recyclable waste, ” said founder Heidi Kujawa.
The company has set a goal to recycle 100 million tons of plastic waste by 2030, and their founder thinks the number is within reach. “If we get 9,000 Blocker systems installed around the world by 2025, together we can hit our 100-million-ton goal,” she said.
【1】How does ByFusion recycle plastic waste?
A．By producing recyclable plastics.
B．By burning it for heating.
C．By making green building materials.
D．By building nature-friendly landfills.
【2】What can be inferred about plastic according to paragraph 3?
A．It isn’t good for human beings.
B．The demand for it is increasing.
C．Too much plastic has been made.
D．Used plastic isn’t taken seriously.
【3】What do we know about the use of ByBlocks?
A．It’s economical.
B．It needs glues.
C．It needs special labor.
D．It’s time consuming.
【4】What can make ByFusion hit its 100-million-ton goal?
A．Its quality is improved.
B．Its ByBlocks are well-designed.
C．Its techniques develop fast.
D．Its equipment is used widely.

A Narrow Escape
A feeling of terror came over ten-year-old Chet Roscow.He had been swimming in the A Narrow Escape
Matawan River by himself. But he had the idea that someone or something was watching him.
And then he saw a large gray fin(鳍)slicing through the water like a knife. What was that? Could it be a shark? That was impossible! Elm Hills was miles and miles from the ocean. How could a shark find its way into this little river?
But now Chet could see it coming toward him.The shark was bigger than Chet himself. The black eyes staring up through the water-killer eyes.
Chet dived toward the shore, pounding through the water and kicking with all his might. His feet touched the bottom. He was running now, looking over his shoulder. The shark was right behind him, its huge jaws wide open and its white teeth shining in its blooded mouth.Those killer eyes stared at Chet. And then, with a flick of its tail, the shark pushed itself backward into the water, and disappeared down the river.
Chet rose to his knees and threw up. When he could stand, he suddenly noticed his fiends,Sid,Monty and Dewey, standing on the dock(码头).Before he could stop them,they had dived into the water.
"Get out of the water!"he screamed."Get out! Get out now!"
He thundered down the path and onto the dock."You have to get out! There's a shark!"
"You hear that,Monty?" Sid said."There's a shark in the river! We'd better get out."
Sid lifted himself up on the dock and took a running leap off the edge of the dock.He jumped into the river with such an enormous splash that Chet got thoroughly wet. Monty and Dewey dived in after him.
"Oh shaaaaaaa-rrrrrrrk!"Sid called through cupped hands."Here, shark! Come and get us!"
They laughed, and Chet stood there, totally helpless.
