21、 On some level, offices exist to inspire in-person collaboration. But many of the basic technologies that employees now used to work together often encourage them to work virtually independent of one another.
“They wear their headphones—headphones are the new walls—to signal they are involved in high-concentration work and not available for chat,” says Stowe Boyd, a social critic whose research focuses on the future of work.
Such behavior is indicative of a wider workplace trend. As office-communication technologies have become more advanced, more and more employees are avoiding direct interaction with their co-workers. Experts say this is a shift that is likely to continue. Emerging technologies even suggests a future—perhaps decades away, but maybe sooner—in which offices are populated by employees who engage in virtually no work-focused, face-to-face contact whatsoever.
It isn’t to say co-workers won’t connect. Even as employees make the transition to “individual” work, they may begin to communicate in new ways that are as engaging as real-life interactions. Virtual reality, for example, could “hold 3-D meetings around a digital meeting table where employees are not physically in" says Martin Ford, an author who studies artificial intelligence and robots, among other things.
What’s the upside of a chat-free future, in which colleagues work together in close physical space but never need to talk person-to-person? For one, it may make work experiences more efficient by stopping gossipy distractions that can get in the way of serious affairs. It also may safeguard employees from physical disturbance, a growing workplace concern, says Jamais Cascio, an author and futurist.
But there are possible problems. Virtual environments have the potential to reduce social inhibitions (抑制), which could lead to conflicts. It’s also possible that technology will create a more impersonal atmosphere. Without the water cooler-style chat that can make work life more vibrant—research suggests informal office jokes can boost productivity—office relationships could start to resemble the interactions we have with strangers in public spaces.
Eventually, some experts believe, with technologies making their way into offices, humans may remove themselves from the workplace altogether, though not in the sense that they will be replaced by robots, as many have predicted.
【1】According to Stowe Boyd, what can be widely seen in workplaces?
A.Technologies are used as a barrier against casual chat.
B.Direction interactions are resisted but cannot be avoided.
C.In-person collaboration is the best way to promote efficiency.
D.Face-to-face contact is the guarantee of high-concentration work.
【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A.Coworkers prefer to keep closely connected.
B.Employees engage in developing far-away relationships.
C.Technologies allow for new forms of office-communication.
D.3-D meetings have completely replaced real-life interactions.
【3】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To forecast a new workplace trend caused by technologies.
B.To encourage employees to make better use of technologies.
C.To stress the importance of combining work and technologies.
D.To introduce the effects of technologies on how employees interact.
22、Are you having trouble concentrating when you’re reading a book or listening to a lecture? This list of activities might help to improve your study habits.
Make a List. We often have trouble paying attention to one thing because our brain wants to think about something else. 【1】 You don’t worry about whatever else you should be doing.
Sleep More. Studies show that people who sleep fewer than eight hours a night for a period of time have slower response systems and more difficulty recalling information. 【2】
Eat Healthier Foods. Many people enjoy foods high in fats and sugars. 【3】 They might give you a temporary burst of energy. However, that energy is soon followed by a crash.
Reduce Screen Time. This may be the most unpopular suggestion among young people. Screen time --- or time spent looking at cell phones, televisions, computer screens, has a clear effect on the attention span. 【4】
【5】 Concentration improves for students who participate in team sports. It could be that being active is helpful in this way. Participating in a sport trains your brain to concentrate on specific tasks, and shut out other thoughts.
A．Be active.
B．Practice more.
C．These foods can provide enough energy for focusing.
D．But these foods can’t be helpful enough when it comes to focusing.
