28、A walker seriously injured in a mountaintop lightning strike which killed two others is showing signs of improvement, the police have said. A major rescue operation was performed on Sunday following two strikes which hit the Brecon Beacons, South Wales. Two men died, while two others were taken to hospital.
A police spokeswoman said, “A man in a serious condition in hospital, following simultaneous(同时发生的)incidents in the Brecon Beacons, has now improved and he is recovering. Officers are continuing to get in touch with the next of relatives of the dead men and enquiries are ongoing. All men were believed to be from England.”
Mark Jones,of the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team, described the lightning strike as a freak accident, and something he had not been called out to in 30 years of service.
The walking group Ramblers Cymru said that while incidents involving thunder and lightning were rare, electrical storms should be taken seriously by walkers.
The organisation's delivery officer, Elly Hannigan Popp, said, “We'd advise everyone to check the weather forecast before starting a walk. If you hear thunder, see lightning or if your hair stands on end, postpone activities even if the sky looks blue and clear. Lightning will strike as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall. Lightning can strike the same place repeatedly—especially tall, pointed, isolated objects.”
“If there is no shelter you should keep moving. And if you become the tallest object, crouch(蹲)in the open twice as far away from the nearest pointed object as it is tall. Make yourself as small as possible, stay on your toes and keep your heels together, as it will allow electricity to go up one foot, through the heels and back into the ground through the other.”
【1】What can we learn about the victims of the incident?
A.Both of the injured men are recovering slowly.
B.The bodies of the two men haven't been found.
C.The four men involved may be from the same country.
D.The police cannot contact the two dead men's relatives.
【2】Why did the author quote the police spokeswoman in Paragraph 2?
A.Because the accident is very serious.
B.To announce where the victims come from.
C.Because the police are looking into the accident.
D.To tell the readers some facts of the incident.
【3】What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 3?
A.Unusual.
B.Regular.
C.Unimportant.
D.Frightening.
【4】What do the last two paragraphs tell us?
A.Harm done by lightning.
B.Warnings from a delivery officer.
C.First aid in a lightning incident.
D.Safety tips on a lightning strike.
29、 One feature of a successful business is its ability to employ creativity to push into new territory (领域). Those with staying power, however, have mastered an often-ignored factor that allows them to focus on the future: empathy(共情). While that may surprise many, I am certain that the ability to connect with and relate to others is the force that moves business forward.
Though the concept of empathy might go against the modern concept a traditional workplace—competitive, the reality is that for business leaders to experience success, they need to not just see or hear the activity around them, but also relate to the people around.
Some may think they can achieve their goals without much thought for other people. This attitude works for some, but at some point-often sooner rather than later—everyone needs to depend on their relationships and build personal and professional connections. Successful people do not operate alone; each of us needs the support of others to achieve positive results that push us forward our goals.
Effectively understanding empathy involves regarding it as each person’s connection to the people and marketplace. A biological principle(原理) known as co-evolution (共同进化)explains that the adaptation of an organism (有机体)is caused by the change of a related object. Similarly, business and their leaders participate in co-evolution-type relationships. Business success depends on empathetic leaders who are able to adapt, build on the strengths around them, and relate to their environment. When businesses fail, it is often because leaders have stopped focusing on understanding their environment and instead stay separated in their own operations.
To develop an effective workforce, we must be willing to give in and meet people where they are. This can be uncomfortable, particularly when you feel like your position makes more sense or offers a better solution. A significant part of developing empathy, however, is learning to understand, respect and adopt another person’s point of view rather forcing your own.
【1】The author thinks that to achieve success, a company must ________.
A.frequently develop in new areas
B.always stay powerful enough
C.focus on its future development
D.have thought for its employees
【2】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Never giving up is the key to success
B.Few business leaders experience success
C.Support from others helps people achieve goals
D.Competitive seldom exists in traditional workplaces.
【3】Which of the following is the best example of co-evolution principle?
A.The principal is good at judging teachers’ points of view.
B.The CEO allows the engineers full freedom to choose their working hours.
C.The boss ignores the fact that his employees’ salary is below the average.
D.The manager refuses to reduce production despite the falling market demand.
