Passage Two

I recently had to give feedback (反馈) to a junior colleague after noticing some errors in a project we worked on together. My first thought was to fix them myself and move forward. But my manager said, "Well, Lucy, why not treat it as a teaching opportunity?"

It took more than a week to schedule the meeting, and even after I did, I kept moving it back. Delivering negative feedback to my team member sounded fearful. Minutes before the actual call, I felt heavy in my chest.

The reason these conversations feel so difficult for me is my social anxiety. When faced with the choice of argument or avoidance, I almost always choose the latter. While I understand objectively that feedback is necessary, my inner voice says that sharing anything negative will result in conflict. In this situation, I assumed my colleague would get upset or react defensively. I imagined us reaching a deadlock instead of a solution.

Here's what actually happened: I told my colleague I'd noticed some errors in our project and had corrected them. To avoid these kinds of errors in the future, I suggested we create a system to quality-check each other's work. Thankfully, my colleague listened calmly and told me he wished I had raised my concerns earlier so that we could have troubleshooted the issue together. It was a learning moment for both of us. We spent the next 30 minutes brainstorming solutions.

Giving tough feedback is an art—and a difficult one at that. Different people often require different approaches, depending on your relationship and the power dynamics involved. Despite these aspects, however, all feedback should be delivered thoughtfully and with the intention of helping others improve.

25、What did Lucy's manager do?______

A．The manager corrected the errors for her colleague.

B．The manager asked her to correct the errors by herself.

C．The manager taught her how to avoid making errors in the project.

D．The manager advised her to help her colleague learn from the errors.

26、What is Lucy's problem?______

A．She has social anxiety.

B．She often has conflict with people.

C．She usually makes her colleagues upset.

D．She has trouble finding solutions to problems.

27、What actually happened at their meeting?______

A．They discussed how to raise concerns in the project.

B．They communicated smoothly about their work.

C．They criticized each other for the errors.

D．They corrected the errors together.

28、The text is mainly about ______.

A．how to finish tough projects

B．how to give negative feedback

C．how to correct colleagues' errors

D．how to avoid conflict at workplace

Passage Three

For decades, not having a college degree has often been a barrier for workers seeking higher-level, better-paying jobs. But more employers are now saying they're willing to hire them.

College degrees were used by companies as an indicator of skills and competence when they evaluated potential hires—making it very difficult for non-degree workers even to be considered. The majority of US workers have had to cope with that barrier. Only 37.7% of Americans aged 25 and up had a bachelor's degree (学士学位) in 2022, according to the US Census Bureau.

But employers are now—at least publicly—becoming more open to the idea of skills-based hiring, which focuses on the job candidates' competence and capacity to learn new skills rather than on their educational background.

Why the change of heart? There are several factors. But above all things is a population reality: The falling US birth rate will produce fewer workers in the years ahead to replace the number of workers to retire.

Additionally, employers are increasingly aware that the skills needed to do many jobs don't necessarily require a four-year degree, and that competent workers can be trained in needed skills as they arise.

Some companies are now investing billions of dollars to build new chip factories here—creating tens of thousands of jobs, many of them paying over $100,000 a year, and don't require a college degree. And businesses and high schools will be connected more closely so that students can get hands-on experience and a path to a good-paying job.

29、What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?______

A．Employers are willing to hire non-degree workers.

B．The US Census Bureau has to cope with the barrier.

C．Most American workers don't have a bachelor's degree.

D．About 37.7% of Americans have no professional competence.

30、Employers used to focus on job candidates' ______.

A．creative skill

B．work experience

C．business capacity

D．educational background

31、What is the main factor for "the change of heart" in Paragraph 4?______

A．The retiring age.

B．The higher birth rate.

C．The population reality.

D．The better job training.

32、The cooperation between businesses and schools can ______.

A．attract investment in new chips

B．prepare students for a good college

C．encourage factories to create more jobs

D．help students acquire practical experience

Passage Four

After an online work meeting, nothing feels better than closing your laptop, stepping away from your desk, and slowly lowering yourself onto the floor. On TikTok, this practice has been named "floor time". With some videos under this tag reaching nearly 8 million views, floor time is good for anyone who's stressed, or sad, as well as for anyone who simply needs to relax.

Below, experts explain the reasons floor time feels so amazing, as well as how to make the most of it.

According to Brandt, a yoga teacher, floor time physically removes you from whatever stresses you out, like work or chores, just like an intentional savasana (休息术) at the end of a yoga practice. Lying flat on your back can release aches and tension in your muscles.

Feeling the hardness of the floor beneath you also sends a message to your body that you're safe and supported, which can help you feel more present—like the ground literally has your back. "You may feel connected to the earth," says Brandt. "This can calm the mind and reduce stress, making floor time appealing to many people."

Floor time may also help to reset your central nervous system, says therapist Janet. A moment of relaxation allows you to bring your breath back to normal, and your stress will gradually become weaker and your heart rate will lower.

33、What can be learned from Paragraph 1?______

A．You need to use floor time videos to attract viewers.

B．You'd better close your laptop after a work meeting.

C．You may lower yourself onto the floor to be relaxed.

D．You ought to step away from the desk when stressed.

34、Why does floor time feel so amazing?______

A．It can free you from work or chores.

B．It can be used to strengthen your muscles.

C．It can benefit you physically and mentally.

D．It can be applied to heart disease treatment.

35、What does the underlined word "appealing" in Paragraph 4 mean?______

A．Attractive.

B．Challenging.

C．Active.

D．Convincing.

36、What will the author continue to talk about next?______

A．Why a savasana can calm your mind.

B．When you should lie flat on your back.

C．Where to release your aches and tension.

D．How to make the most of your floor time.
