Many managers believe that overworking is an evidence of devotion from their employees’ side. Still few others regard this custom as a threat to the worked work-life balance, which may negatively influence the level of productivity and efficiency.
Employees at Amsterdam design studio Heldergroen won’t be putting in much overtime. Not in the office, at any rate, because every day at 6:00 pm, their desks, tables and other work surfaces, with their computers attached, are lifted to the ceiling by steel cables (绳索) normally used to move heavy props (道具) in theatrical productions. If you leave a half-eaten sandwich on your desk, you’ve out of luck.
“Once the chairs and other workplace paraphernalia are cleared away, the space is free for evening and weekend use as a dance floor, yoga studio... or anything else you can think of—the floor is actually yours,” director Sander Veenendaal said.
In a way, the office space itself is working overtime for Heldergroen, bringing about lots of publicity and carrying an enlightened (有启发的) message of career-life balance far and wide. “We think that doing activities like this makes it easier for people to work here,” says Veenendaal. “You know when it is time to relax or do something else that inspires you.”
That sounds awesome. There’s just one catch. In the morning, the desks reappear and everybody has to go back to work.
1.What can we learn about the employees at Heldergroen?
A. They are unwilling to work late.
B. They are persuaded to leave the office earlier.
C. They believe overworking is an evidence of devotion.
D. They are to put away their computers after work.
2.What does the underlined word “paraphernalia” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Props. B. Food.
C. Equipment. D. Cables.
3.What does the author think of the Heldergroen’s office design?
A. Creative. B. Inconvenient.
C. Ordinary. D. Strange.

On Saturday morning, every boy in town was happy, except Tom sawyer. Tom’s aunt said he had to paint the fence. It was thirty yards long and three yards high! Tom painted a small corner, and then he sat down under a tree to have a rest.
Soon the boy who were free would come along and make fun of him. Just then, he had a wonderful idea. He picked up his brush and went back to work.
Ben Rogers came along the road. He sang happily, with an apple in one hand.

The African elephant, which is the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem. Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the- forest-and-savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.
It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and under-bushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.
Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.
What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly
changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Disappearance of African elephants.
B. The effect of African elephants' search for food.
C. Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.
D. The eating habit of African elephants.
2.What does the underlined phrase "setting the terms" most probably mean?
A. Fixing the time. B. Deciding the conditions.
C. Improving the quality. D. Worsening the state.
3.What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?
A. They result from the destruction of rain forests.
B. They provide food mainly for African elephants.
C. They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.
D. They are home to many endangered animals.
4.The passage is developed mainly by_____
A. giving examples
B. pointing out similarities and differences
C. describing the changes in space order
D. showing the effect and then explaining the causes

Think for a moment about the teachers you’ve had at junior or senior high school. Which one did you like best? And why? Were the teachers you liked best also the ones who were the best teachers, in your opinion? 1.And then begin to read further.
Some very common answers to this question are that teachers need to love their students, that they need to have expert knowledge of their subjects and that they should devote themselves completely to their work. All of these ideas are, of course, true to a certain extent.2.
It’s impossible for anyone to love everyone he knows, and teachers deal with a very large number of students over the years. On the other hand, teachers should certainly be able to make their students feel that they’re interested in them as people. 3. A deep knowledge of the subject is especially important.4. That’s to say, a teacher needs to be trained in the skills of teaching. These skills include how to control a class. Finally, teachers have to devote a lot of time and energy to their work, of course. However, because they’re also models that their students must follow, it’s important that they should be well-balanced people with interests outside their school work—families, friends, hobbies, etc. 5.
A.They’re perhaps a little too simple.
B.Students ask too much from teachers.
C.Well- qualified teachers should be educated and capable.
D.Consider for a minute the qualities that make a teacher outstanding.
E.A teacher who only lives for work is likely to become narrow-minded.
F.Equally important is the ability to pass that knowledge on to the students effectively.
G.They also pay attention to the development of both their brains and their characters.

Noticing the signals that people send out with their body language is a very useful social skill.1.Fortunately, with a little extra effort, you can learn to read body language, and with enough practice it'll become second nature.
2.The closer they are, the warmer they are thinking of you. The farther away that someone is, the less they actually care about the situation or person. If you move slightly closer to them, do they move slightly further away? That means they don't want your communication to be any more personal than it already is.3.And if they respond by getting even closer to you, they probably really like you or are very comfortable around/by you.
It is worth noting that personal space is culturally different; keep in mind that what is considered close in one country is far away in another.
Check their arms.4.Though some people just cross their arms as a habit, it may indicate that the person is slightly reserved, nervous or embarrassed about their appearance and trying to cover it, or just trying to hide something on their shirt. If their arms are crossed while their feet are wider apart, this is a position of toughness or authority. If someone rests their arms behind their neck or head, they are open to what is being discussed or just easy-going in general. If their hands are on their hips(双手叉腰), they might be waiting, impatient or just tired.5.
A. If they don't move further away, then they are willing to listen and accept.
B. How to read body language needs to be learned.
C. Some of us can read it naturally and some of us can’t at all.
D. If their hands are closed, they may be angry, or nervous.
E. People with crossed arms are closing themselves to social influence.
F. Pay attention to how close someone is to you.
G. Some people tend not to move further away.
