21、Born after 1996 on the heels of the millennials (千禧一代)，Generation Z （Gen Z） is just entering the workforce. Its members are the first true digital natives, and their ability to adapt to an automating workplace will likely determine their success. “Soft” skills such as intellectual insight, flexibility and creativity will be essential for workers to compete with machines that are growing more technically skilled. 【1】
Be an effective strategic communicator. Some employers fear that digital native workers might be too much like the robots they are competing with. 【2】 It’s good communication skills that make them noticeable. Those in technology fields often work remotely or in relative isolation, so they do not always get enough time to sharpen their interpersonal skills. However, Gen Z should not ignore the importance of relationship building, listening, communicating and teamwork.
【3】 While most of Gen Z is still in school, they already need to think about how to continually adapt to a fast-changing world. To succeed, they must be realistic about their skills and how desired skill sets will change. For example, graduates might be trained in Microsoft Excel, but a job might require them to learn how to interpret that data.
【4】 Nearly half of the Gen Z said they had experienced job burnout in the past year, according to a survey. 【5】 Workers are at their best when doing something meaningful to them, said Obed Louissaint, vice president of talent at IBM. To avoid burnout, young people should couple finding purpose with taking proper mental breaks and trying to build healthy habits, Louissaint added.
A．Be a continuous learner.
B．Try to bring life to your office.
C．What will make Gen Z workers stand out?
D．Find work that gives you a sense of purpose.
E．More industry knowledge also equals more money.
F．Here are the “soft” skills Gen Z members need to succeed.
G．Half said they were considering a job outside their current industry because of it.
22、Greening the blue
Is there a “natural” way to enhance the potential of the oceans to lock away climate-warming CO2? Planting more trees on land can help draw down more CO2 from the atmosphere—the basis of many plans for carbon credits that companies buy to offset their emissions (抵消其排放). 【1】 Seaweed forests and saltmarshes (盐碱滩) are common examples.
Some regard the potential for this “blue carbon” as huge, although as yet there is no mechanism for integrating it into carbon offsetting plans. John Virdin of Duke University in North Carolina says, “【2】” He adds, “You have to go out and measure all the carbon that’s there, you have to show that it’s not going to be lost, you have to keep monitoring it.” Virdin and others have proposed extending an existing land-based plan called REDD + (reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation) to the ocean, but that is an idea whose ship has yet to sail.
【3】 In March, the UK government’s climate adviser, the Climate Change Committee, found that restoring and creating seagrass and saltmarsh ecosystems in the country would only lock away a small amount of CO2, removing “well below” 1 million tonnes a year. Nonetheless, these are efficient carbon stores according to the committee. 【4】
A．Using the oceans as a solution to climate change is hardly a new idea.
B．There is still some doubt about how big the marine offsetting effect might be.
C．It’s really hard to turn blue carbon conservation and restoration into carbon credits that you can sell.
D．Something similar might work in the oceans, by stimulating the growth of marine and coastal ecosystems.
E．And conserving them is important given how much fishing and other activities have degraded them.
F．The big objection to all these plans is the possibility of negative environmental side effects.

24、 When students walk into Jenny Umland’s class, they don’t automatically go to the same seat they sat in the day before. In her classroom at Riverdale Heights Elementary School, Iowa, students are allowed to sit wherever they want. Umland doesn’t assign seats. In fact, she has done away with most of the regular desks and uses beach chairs, standing desks, and rocking chairs instead.
Riverdale Heights is one of a growing number of schools that have ditched assigned seats. Many teachers say letting kids choose where to sit helps them learn how to make good choices.Some teachers point out that students are often more comfortable speaking up when they’re sitting near kids they like the most.
“If kids are happy and comfortable, they are more willing to learn,” says Umland. After 19 years of teaching, she tried non-assigned seating for the first time this year. She says she’ll never go back.
But not all teachers are ready to do away with their seating charts. Some say having assigned seats helps students focus on their work, instead of where they’ll sit. One teacher from Texas thinks letting students sit wherever they want can create chaos. Assigned seating helps keep classrooms under control. Without specific seats to go to, students may argue over who gets to sit in the best spots. He often finds it hard to work in that environment.A more controlled classroom leads to better learning. Maybe what he says is reasonable. A 2012 study by Montana State University found that high school students did better on tests when a teacher assigned their seats.
A student, Jack, from Lowa, thinks he and his classmates should be comfortable when they learn. He says, “My teacher, Mrs. Umland, allows us to choose our own seats, and it’s great! I used to be terrified of sitting in the same seat every day, which made me uncomfortable all over. Being allowed to sit wherever I want makes me more enjoyable, because I can sit where I’m most comfortable.” And Umland says, “The setup in my class helps kids get along better. If two students want to sit in the same spot, they have to talk it out and compromise.”
【1】What do we know about Umland?
A.She insists on arranging regular desks. B.She is strongly against non-assigned seating.
C.She has failed in teaching in the past 19 years. D.She lets students in her class choose their own seats.
【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “ditched” in paragraph 2?
A.Got rid of. B.Looked forward to. C.Tried on. D.Prepared for.
【3】What does Jack think of the Umland’s seat setup in her class?
A.It is controversial. B.It is uncomfortable. C.It is cozy. D.It is terrifying.
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A.What Role Do Students Play in Class? B.Should Students Have Assigned Seats?
C.Students Are Required to Listen Carefully in Class D.Assigned Seats in the Classroom Are Popular Now
