1 . It goes without saying that everyone has bad days at work. You hit an unexpected problem with a project you’ve been working on for weeks.     1    You are severely criticized by your boss in the company. Whatever your workplace problem is, one effect it has is to make you feel more alone. There are times when you feel as though your colleagues are upset and you can only rely on yourself.     2    

When you’re feeling upset about a problem at work, take a minute to think of someone in your life that you’re grateful to and write a sentence or two on a notepad about what you appreciate.     3     Why does it have such power? Gratitude is often a positive emotion you   feel when someone else has gone out of their way to do something helpful for you that they didn’t have to do. That person has done something selfless in order to make your life little---or perhaps a lot---better.

    4     It might be a relative who took care of you when you were little, a teacher who   helped you out in a tough situation or a colleague who put you up for a great opportunity.

Picking one of those folks out and reminding yourself of why you’re grateful to them has two benefits.     5     It also reminds you of the deep social connections you have so that you   don’t feel quite as isolated anymore.

A．You have a quarrel with your beloved.

B．In those moments, a little gratitude can help

C．Here are some reasons to explain these situations.

D．All of us have people in our lives who fit that bill.

E．Research shows practicing gratitude can make you happier.

F．You forget the appointment with a VIP customer and keep him waiting.

G．For one, it gets you thinking about something positive and lifts your mood

3 . In the future, we will be competing against medically-enhanced workers who can work longer and harder than us. Artificial intelligence will make it easier to monitor our every move in the office. This may sound like science fiction, but it’s a likely _______, according to a new report by professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers.     

The report, which _______ a team of science researchers and a survey of more than 10,000 workers based in China, Germany, India, the U.K., and the U.S., predicts that rapid advances in technology, resource _______, and population demographics are among the key forces that would radically _______ the future of work by 2030.

According to PwC, these forces will result in four potential futures: one where “humans come first,” one where “innovation _______,” one where “companies care,” and one where “corporate is king.”

In the future world where corporations reign, PwC states that “human effort is _______ through sophisticated use of physical and medical enhancement techniques and equipment, and workers’ performance and _______ are measured, monitored and analysed at every step. A new breed of elite super-workers emerges.”

This is a world where performance is everything, and workers will need to create every _______ to stay ahead. This may sound like a stressful objective, but the majority of people surveyed _______ the challenge.

Seventy percent of the workers surveyed said that they would undergo ________ to improve their body and mind if it would improve their chances of employment. This could be because we believe it’s up to us to improve our careers — even if that means pill-popping performance-enhancing drugs. Of those surveyed, 74% said it was their individual ________ “to update their skills rather than relying on any employer.”

To visualize this ________ future, PwC created a mock news article reporting from 2030 that detailed the first large-scale use of brain-enhancing drugs in the workplace.

But you don’t need a fake news report to see this future; real news reports about augmented bodies in the office have existed for some time. Companies in the U.S. and Europe are already offering microchip implants to workers, so they can enter company buildings and get their chips from the vending machine with the ________ of a hand.

PwC predicts that the idea of a cyborg workforce will go from science fiction novelty to mainstream in the next few decades.

“So implants at work are already possible and happening and people will use it ________ to pay for things and to get on to buses and public transport. Why would they not 10 years later go, sure, put one in my brain to make me think harder or for ________ ?” Jon Williams, PwC’s people and organizations division leader told The Australian about its survey. “It’s just natural progression.”

4 . Among the coronavirus’s many effects is a boom (突然风靡的时期) in remote workers, who try to get accustomed to a work-from-home lifestyle. Matt Mullenweg, CEO of a software company, said that “it might offer an opportunity for many companies to finally build a culture that allows long-overdue work flexibility.”     1    

Research shows that remote workers gain in productivity. A study led by the Stanford professor Nicholas Bloom examined remote workers at a Chinese travel agency.     2     But research also shows that they often miss in creativity thinking. Steve Jobs believed that Apple employees’ best work came from accidentally bumping into other people.     3     Mr. Jobs said, “You run into someone, you ask what they’re doing, you say ‘Wow,’ and soon you’re cooking up all sorts of ideas.”

    4     That’s a good thing if you’re a boss looking to squeeze extra efficiency out of your employees, but less ideal if you’re someone trying to achieve some work-life balance. Mr. Bock, who was previously Google’s top human resources officer, said that for most people, balancing office work with remote work is good.     5     It’s enough to participate in office culture, with some time reserved for deep, focused work.

A．Remote workers also tend to take fewer sick days.

B．Some people are less productive if they work at home.

C．Creativity comes from random meetings and discussions.

D．So it will be an exciting time for some fans of remote work.

E．Many people find it hard to balance their work and their home lives.

F．It found that they were 13 percent more efficient than the office-based ones.

G．The perfect amount of work-from-home time is one and a half days per week.

8 . If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech "Information Age" demands people who are flexible (灵活) and who have good communication skills.

There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature (特点) of the kind of high-speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.

Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as "very important" by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.

Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don't regret their choice of study.

1. By saying that "you may have had the last laugh" in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have ________.

A．shared the jokes with computer majors

D．stopped joking about computer majors

2. Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates ________.

A．are ready to change when situations change

B．are better able to deal with difficulties

C．are equally good at computer skills

D．are likely to give others pressure

3. The underlined word "land" in the last paragraph probably means “________”.

A．keep for some time

B．successfully get

C．immediately start

D．lose regretfully

4. According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs?

A．Willingness to take low-paid jobs.

B．Readiness to gain high-tech knowledge.

C．Skills in expressing themselves.

D．Part-time work experience.
