【题目】Getting on with colleagues is more important to workers than a big salary, a new study has revealed.

A detailed study of work attitudes found that many factors outweigh the pay cheque, such as relationships with colleagues, self-worth, and the nature of the job itself. Eight in ten of the 2,000 people polled said they would turn down a big salary increase if it meant working with people or in an environment they didn’t like. The results showed people are the most important factor in work-related happiness, along with enjoying the role and getting on with the boss.

And a manageable commute was also considered more important than good pay, according to the study by the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT).

Chief Executive Mark Farrar said: “The results show that, when it comes to working happiness, money is far from the driving factor for most of us.” “Of course, life dictates that we earn as much as we can to maintain or improve our circumstances, but most regarded working with good people or in a role they feel valued in as more important than the salary.” “Most of us will spend the biggest portion of our lives working and it’s important that any job we have enhances us both professionally and personally.”

“Many respondents had turned down higher paid jobs because it would have meant less time with the family and a poor work-life balance.”

The study also found a third had left a job despite it being well paid – mainly because they didn’t think it was worth the added pressure.

While others felt they weren’t given the right appreciation from senior staff or the role stopped challenging them. Three quarters would struggle to accept a job that gave them more money if they knew it would be a lot more stressful.

In fact, pay was only the sixth biggest factor for people staying in their current job, with Britons prioritizing good relationships with those around them, enjoying the role and the commuting time over thinking about the money.

Only 15 percent of the 2000 workers polled actively disliked their current job.

When asked why they were unhappy, respondents were more likely to feel the nature of the work was dull and unfulfilling or that their boss didn’t appreciate them than they were to say their pay was too low.

【题目】Welcome to your future life!

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age !

You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes’ color or pattern.

You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.

It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve(袖子). Such “smart technology” is all around you.

So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli , “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example --what will be the next?

【1】We can learn from the text that in the future__________.

A. clothes will be able to change their pattern

B. everyone will look the same

C. red will be the most popular color

D. people will never get old

【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

I was told that the first part of the underground system opened in 1863 and 【2】 took people from the boundary of London to the city center. The underground passages were very narrow 【3】 (compare) to the last line that was constructed in 1977. when 【4】 (carriage) first ran in these passages, there was lots 【5】 smoke and noise. I think it must have been horrible and damp down there! Another problem was that there were a dozen different lines, 【6】 were not linked. This 【7】(make) the system not user-friendly, but now the different lines have been joined. The union of the different lines makes traveling on the London Underground much more 【8】 (convenience). I bought a ticket at a discount and rode the underground three times. It was good for me 【9】 (have)the experience. Another interesting thing was that the passage were used for all sorts of things during World War II such as bomb shelters and an anti-aircraft centre. It’s 【10】 (true) amazing!

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。

Do you have any problem with time? Start doing these and you will see the difference.

● Write it down

Don’t rely on your memory to keep track of every little detail. 【1】 Write down the things you need to do in a small notebook, or use online tool to create and update your “to-do” list.

● 【2】

Working for long periods without a break can waste your time. It is more efficient to work or study for a shorter period of time, take a break, and then go back to work. You may get more done in tow focused 45-minute sessions.

● One thing at a time

【3】 Do one thing at a time, and do it well. As the Chinese proverb says, “One cannot manage too many affairs. Like pumpkins in the water, one pops up while you try to hold down the other.”

On your cell phone you get a notification every time someone sends you can email. If so, you have to check your email many, many times a day. 【4】 Schedule time to check your email. It doesn’t matter when.

● Choose to say “No”.

It’s easy to become overwhelmed if we say “yes” to everything. Think about the task before you commit to it. Do you need to do it? Can someone else do it? Avoid saying “yes” to every request. 【5】
