Even so, most white-collar work still happens in an office. One reason is that, according to findings of a new survey (调查) of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix, most bosses are doubtful about remote working. Half of the workers say their boss doesnt accept it, and only 35 percent say its tolerated.Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced (加深)by the same survey, which shows that 43 percent of workers say theyve watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely, while 35 percent have done housework，and 28 percent have cooked dinner.It is true, however, that working at home makes people much more efficient (高效的), because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done. Its much faster, for example, to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-work rush.The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we havent come as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker.More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something of value. Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who havent worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home. Under such circumstances, smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough ability to change or be changed easily to suit a different situation to manage their time efficiently.21. Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working? A. They are used to face-to-face communication.B. They want to stick to their routine practice. C. They have little trust in modem technology. D. They fear losing control of their workers 22. What seems to be most workers attitude toward remote working? A. Favorable. B. Doubtful C. Reserved. D. Disapproving.23. What does the author suggest smart firms do? A. Shorten their office hours. B. Give employees a pay raise. C. Adopt flexible work patterns. D. Reduce their staffs workload.BWhats On?

D. 0844 871 7604.CFor years, scientists and others concerned about climate change have been talking about the need for carbon capture and storage (CCS). That is the term for removing carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) from, say, a coal-burning power plants smokestack and pumping it deep underground to keep it out of the atmosphere, where it would otherwise contribute to global warming. However, currently, only one power plant in Canada captures and stores carbon on a commercial scale (and it has been having problems). Among the concerns about storage is that carbon dioxide in gaseous or liquid form that is pumped underground might escape back to the atmosphere. So storage sites would have to be monitored, potentially for decades or centuries.But scientists at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University and other institutions have come up with a different way to store CO2 that might eliminate that problem. Their approach involves dissolving the gas with water and pumping the resulting mixture soda water, essentially down into certain kinds of rocks, where the CO2 reacts with the rock to form a mineral called calcite(方解石). By turning the gas into stone, scientists can lock it away permanently. Volcanic rocks called basalts(玄武岩) are excellent for this process, because they are rich in calcium, magnesium and iron, which react with CO2.The project called CarbFix started in Iceland, 2012, when the scientists pumped about 250 tons of carbon dioxide, mixed with water, about 1,500 feet down into porous basalt. Early signs were encouraging: The scientists found that about 95 percent of the carbon dioxide was changed into calcite. And even more importantly, they wrote, the change happened relatively quickly in less than two years.“Its beyond all our expectations,” said Edda Aradottir, who manages the project. Rapid change of the CO2 means that a project would probably have to be monitored for a far shorter time than a more conventional storage site.There are still concerns about whether the technology will prove useful in the fight against global warming. For one thing, it would have to be scaled up enormously. For another, a lot of water is needed 25 tons of it for every ton of CO2 along with the right kind of rock.But the researchers say that there is enough porous basaltic rock in Iceland, including in the ocean floors and along the margins of continents. And sitting a storage project in or near the ocean could potentially solve the water problem at the same time, as the researchers say seawater would work just fine.28. What can we learn about CCS in Paragraphs 2 and 3?A. Scientists believe global warming will be avoided if CO2 is pumped underground.B. Its been a common practice in many plants to capture and store CO2 underground.C. There is no guarantee that CO2 will not escape even if pumped underground.D. It requires decades to turn CO2 into liquid form and be locked underground.29. What materials should be involved in the project CarbFix?A. Water, CO2, soda water and basaltsB. Water, CO2, a pump and basalts C. CO2, basalts, a pump and calciteD. Water, soda water, a pump and calcite30. According to Edda Aradottir, the result of the project was beyond the researchers expectations, because .A. its disappointing to discover new problems caused by rapid changeB. its exciting to sense the problem of storing CO2 likely to be solvedC. its puzzling to find the encouraging but unexpected result of the projectD. its amazing to see 95% of the carbon dioxide turn into calcite that fast 31. What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A. To show the different ways to fight against CO2.B. To praise the efforts of scientists in storing CO2.C. To inform us of a breakthrough in storing CO2.D. To urge people to produce the least possible CO2.DWhile the other kids seemed excited about celebrating the end-of-term party by playing games and sharing treats, Jeremy hated the very idea of the gathering. Afraid to raise the pressure too high, I decided to contribute something that was easy to purchase on the walk to school. Off we went the day of the party, approaching his school as if nothing was planned. I reminded him of our need to make a purchase, entered his favorite shop, and asked him to select the ripest bunch of grapes. He shot me an anxious look and insisted none of his classmates ever be able to notice he had something to bring to the party. My vision of a successful parenting method, resulting in delivering a sociable child to his school, diverted（转移）sharply from reality. Back on route, I did my best to hide the sinking feeling of fear. How could I possibly drop him off and then walk into my own classroom to teach a successful class? My next move was born in the heat of the moment. I said a quick goodbye at the front gate and rushed to his classroom through the emergency exit. I managed to inform his teacher about the grapes in the backpack and be out of the classroom before I could be spied by my son. So, what happened on that June day? His teacher, a caring educator, worked wonders. My son and I still laugh about the way Mr. B started the day with an unusual question, “Does anyone have any grapes?” While Jeremy admits feeling a bit uncomfortable, the words encouraged him to takeout the fruit. Because of the support he received, he remembers that day with pride for his courage.32. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “vision” in Paragraph 3?A. Use B. Research. C. Understanding. D. Imagination.33. How did the author feel when she left the shop?A. Worried. B. Satisfied. C. Grateful. D. Regretful.34. Why did the author hurry to her sons classroom?A. She went to ask the teacher for help.B. She went there to give her lesson. C. She was afraid of her son being punished. D. She was invited to take part in the celebration.35. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The teacher inspired Jeremy to share grapes. B. Jeremy prepared for the coming party.C. The author helped Jeremy to become sociable. D. The author taught Jeremy to select goods第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips to Increase Your ProductivityWant to get more done in your day?
