information that has little to do with their work, according to a new survey.on average, whitecollar workers spend 51 percent of their work time receiving and processing information. only one third of it was relevant to their work, the survey found. information overload for whitecollar workers has become a global issue. the huge amount of information has already affected their efficiency in management as well as their performance at work.buried with emailsevery morning, a secretary at the human resources department of an auto parts company opens her email box, only to find it crammed with at least 50 unread mails. for her, even scanning through these emails every day takes at least half an hour. some of her colleagues are not so luckythey have to read at least 100.bothered with callstelephone calls are also causing a problem. more than 40 percent whitecollar workers choose mobile phones as the preferred way to communicate important and urgent business matters. talking saves time and energy over the clicking, reading and replying to emails, but phone calls are also more distracting (分心的). while answering a call, a clerk is likely to put away a much more important task at hand and start the business being talked about on the phone.solution? not yetmany companies start with providing staff with better computers, better internet access and more advanced gadgets (小装置). for example, staff members above a certain level in one company will be provided with a blackberry phone for easier access to their emails. the company has also organized many lectures on efficient ways of email management. yet most whitecollar workers think their companies can do more.【解题导语】白领是令人羡慕的一族，可是他们也有苦恼，与工作无关的大量信息让他们苦不堪言。21what does the new survey find about whitecollar workers?athey

stress.解析：选c细节理解题。根据文章最后一段前半部分中的内容可知一些公司解决问题的办法是为员工提供更加先进的设备。24what is the major issue discussed in this text?apoor management leads to inefficiency at work.bjunk mail is causing big

rides. we drove down a nice long road. my sister and i sat in the back of the car, and it was a hatchback (有仓门式后背的汽车) so we opened it up. i remember feeding the animals snacks we had bought for ourselves.the time we went we were told there would not be monkeys because they had escaped and had not been found. i remember thinking to myself, how cool it would be to see a monkey in our backyard.even though the monkeys were not there it was still so much fun. when we reached the area that had camels, giraffes and other animals, i remember one of the camels reached into the car to get our snacks. however, we were a little grossed_out because the camels seemed to froth (吐白沫) at the mouth and we had camel slobber (口水) all over the car and us.it was one of the best family vacations that i can remember. it was not too far from home, it was in a different country and it was with my family. i cannot remember if we went on the rides or not but seeing many animals was a great time. now that i am grownup and have a son, i am planning to go there again. he is 7 years old and i think he is at a great age to enjoy a trip like this. i am sure it has changed a lot over the years but it will still be a great family trip.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在七岁的时候和家里人一起去国外旅游。他在那儿看到许多动物，那次旅游给他留下极好的印象。现在，他的孩子也七岁了，他准备带孩子故地重游。25where did the author live when he was 7 years old?ain canada.bin parc

performed by people. but experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.“the next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces，” said peter andrew, director of workplace strategy for cbre asia pacific.a growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.the report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from asia pacific, europe and north america. it shows that in the us technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.but the report states: “losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobsjust changing what people do.” growth in new jobs could occur as much，according to the research.“the growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological knowhow will directly challenge big companies，” it states.a 2014 report by pew research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. the optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create，” according to aaron smith, the reports coauthor.“technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. there is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change，” microsofts jonathan grudin told researchers.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。人工智能改变商业结构，专家称约一半的职业到2025年将会消失。29we can infer from the text that in the future _.apeople will face many difficultiesbpeople will take up more creative jobscartificial
