Through the years Iwould take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said: “My ears, Mommy.” She said: “No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her: “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me: “You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.” Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was “No. But you are getting smarter every year, my child.”Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My momlooked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to grandpa. She asked me: “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?” I was shocked when she asked me this now. She told me: “This question is very important,especially at this moment. How you answer it can truly shows whether you have learned about life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example why. But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson.” I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said: “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder.”“Is it because it holds up my head?” I asked.“No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry,” she replied:“Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on somet ime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.”21.

A Life-long QuestionB As the labor market becomes more attractive, more companies are sending their employees to school. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is the latest company to use tuition assistance for employees which for decades has been a part of many business benefits packages as part of a renewed effort to bring in and cultivate talent. And while the impact of such programs has yet to be fully assessed, many see it as a positive although gradual movement. “For workers, it gives them a better opportunity for development,” says Colleen Flaherty Manchester, a professor. “For firms, they are able to recruit the type of employees who have value education and are less likely to turn over, and thus have a higher level of retention(保留) .” In all, 56 percent of US organizations offer undergraduate educational assistance while 52 percent offer graduate assistance. Largely driving the trend are Millennials, who happen to be the fastest-growing people in the US workforce today and to whom the idea of tuition support from employers is especially appealing. Nearly 60 percent of Millennials surveyed said they would choose a job with strong professional-development potential over one with regular pay raises. Employers are ly adapting to Millennials in the workplace. They recognize that they need more experience, more knowledge, more mentoring to be successful. And theyre asking for it. Of more than 140,000 Starbucks employees, only about 4,000 have signed up for the companys College Achievement Plan. What the long-term effects such programs might have for companies retention and turnover rates remain unclear. But, the pluses of these programs are more important than the minuses. Were going to see a lot more of this in the future.25. Using tuition assistance for employees _.A. has attracted a large number of talentsB. is a trend that formed recentlyC. has existed for scores of yearsD. is well received by employees26. What can we learn from what Colleen Flaherty said?A. It is merely beneficial to employeesB. It is a win-win event for employees and employers.C. Valuing education has become a trend for all companies.D. It turns out to be tough for firms to find suitable employees.27. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Regular pay raises.B. More chances to be successful.C. Educational support.D. Professionaldevelopment potential.28. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the programs?A. The programs can guarantee the employees a good job.B. The impact of the programs remains to be estimated.C. Employees will benefit more from the programs than companies.D. Its less likely that employees will remain in the same company after receiving the programs.
