17.With the year coming to an end,a vacation is inescapable.Traveling in winter is never easy.Air travel might sound like the most convenient method of winter travel,but it has its shortcomings.The season of cold sometimes interrupts your travel plans and flights often get cancelled or delayed.We bring you some tips to keep in mind if you are traveling by air in the winter.
Early flights are on time
Early morning flights have been found to be more on time than the ones later in the day.You would have to wake up very early,but it would be worth it.Any delay in the flight schedule during the day leads to a series of delays,so the best way to avoid a delayed flight is to fly early.
Partner airlines can help
Partner airlines can help you in times of delayed flights.Some airlines work in association(联系) with partner airlines.In case your flight gets cancelled or delayed,you can ask for a seat with the partner airline,provided(假如)that your airline supports it.
Join a club
Joining a club will surely make you shell out some money,but if you are a frequent flyer,this is the best option(选择)for you.When your flight gets delayed for hours,you can access(通道,加入)those clubs in the airport rather than being stuck in the terminal(终点站).Also,access to different travel agents is easier from the clubs,and they can assist you with various options available(可利用的,可得到的).
Consider a travel agent
At times when you are stuck(阻塞,陷入)in situations where your flight is delayed or cancelled,instead of dealing directly with the airline staff,it is best to lay the responsibility on your travel agent.Your travel agent will act on your behalf and solve the issues instead of you standing in the queue and dealing with the issue all by yourself.
 31.What does the passage mainly discuss?A
A.What to do when facing a delayed or cancelled flight.
B.How to deal with winter travel effectively.
C.What to do with your own shortcomings in winter.
D.How to get in touch with your airplane company quickly.
32.The author sugge sts taking morning flights becauseD.
A.no one likes to get up early like you
B.you can have more time to work
C.no one wishes to take afternoon flights
D.you can avoid having a delayed flight
33.What is the benefit(好处) of choosing partner airlines?B
A.The flight provides special service to guests on request.
B.The guests can be given a seat on another airplane.
C.The guests can be transferred during the flight.
D.The airport will make sure the delay time is as short as possi ble.
34.What does the underlined phrase"shell out"in the passage mean?C
A.save        
B.earn        
C.pay         
D.waste
35.To avoid a bad situation,you can do the following EXCEPTC.
A.turning to a travel agent
B.joining any club that can provide you with various options
C.choosing the appropriate(恰当的)flight to begin with
D.staying away from late flights.

2.SAN FRANCISCO-Only 21percent of workers worldwide are"engaged"-that's the word used to describe workers who are ready to expend some extra effort at work-while 38percent are disengaged,according toa new survey.
"Engagement is not satisfaction or happiness,but the degree to which workers connect to the company emotionally,and the degree to which workers are aware of what they need to do to add value and are willing to take that action,"said Julie Gebauer,a managing director of Towers Perrin,a  consulting firm,which surveyed almost 90,000workers in 19countries.
"Happy employees don't necessarily create better financial results,but there is a  definite link between engagement and a company's financial performance,"Gebauer said.
The survey found 21percent of workers worldwide are engaged,and another 41percent are"enrolled",which means they're on the road to engagement.
More than 80percent of the engaged employees say they contribute to the quality of company products,services and customer satisfaction,while only 40percent of disengaged workers agree.
Engagement helps retention(留置)too.About 50percent of engaged employees say they have no plans to leave their company versus 15percent of the disengaged.
"The fact that almost 80percent of workers are disengaged is likely costing   companies money."Gebauer said.
"The conception of engagement is really a financial issue,"said Gebauer.‘Organizations that have employees that are highly engaged deliver better financial results than those that don't."
In a separate study,Towers Perrin assessed data on 40global companies over a three-year period,measuring employee engagement at a certain point and then looking at the companies'financial results over the following three years.
Companies with highly motivated workers enjoyed a 3.7percent increase in profits,while companies with a lower level of worker commitment saw a decrease in profits slightly.
What makes for an engaged employee?It's not necessarily pay.While the level of pay is important,it's not among the top 10drivers of engagement.Rather than only using the pay,companies should survey their work force,much as they might study their customers,to assess what employees are seeking.
25.The underlined word"ienrolled"in Paragraph 4meansD.
A.engaged                    
B.disengaged
C.over-engaged                
D.not yet but to be engaged
26.According to the text,among 500disengaged employees,how many would probably have the intention of leaving their company?D
A.50.
B.75.
C.250.
D.425.
27.What would probably be talked about following the last paragraph?A
A.The top ten drivers of engagement.
B.The reason to encourage engagement.
C.The importance of the pay level in engagement.
D.The survey of work force in a company.
