In Favour of Simple Writing
Do you edit text messages carefully before sending them? If so, you may be the kind of person who takes pride in 1 even the simplest message. If you do not, you may see yourself as a go-getter, one who values excitement and speed over 2 : get it done decently now rather than perfectly later.
People are constantly receiving messages, from the mailbox to the inbox to the text-message alert. What to read, what to skim (略读) and what to ignore are decisions that nearly everyone has to make dozens of times a day. A new book titled All Readers are Busy Nowadaysmakes the argument for being the careful kind of 3 , even in informal lines. The authors also present well-established 4 that have long been prized in guides to writing.
Take "less is more". Most books on writing well advocate the advice to 5 needless words. The authors, however, have 6 the idea. In an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey, cutting the count from127 to 49 words almost 7 the response rate.
Keeping messages to a 8 idea—or as few as absolutely needed—helps ensure that they will be read, remembered and acted on. 9 the number of the available options has the same effect, too. A link in an email, 10 , attracted 50% more clicks when presented alone than when it was sent alongside a second additional link.
Syntax (句法) and 11 matter, too. It is more 12 to adopt short and active sentences, with common words familiar to everyone. From Facebook posts to online-travel reviews, even brief, informal pieces of writing that follow these rules get more likes and shares.
If everyone is a busy reader, everyone is a busy writer, too. That may make it tempting to sent as many messages as 13 as possible and hope for the best. But from essays to text messages organizing dinner plans, devoting time to the needs of readers has provable 14 . If you are so busy that you write an undisciplined message which readers scan, ignore and delete, then you might as well have not 15 it at all.

3、阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For the sake of surviving in the world with challenges, we need to be wise. Let me tell you this, wisdom provides us with perspective when we need it and it calms us down in terrible situations. Here are some strategies that we can use to get wiser.
Sometimes we ourselves need to be open to diverse perspectives. Never base your perspective on the most popular opinion or which is the most comfortable for you. Train your mind to be a judgment-free space for ideas. If you are humble, then you will always get to experience something new.
Take new classes, read books and the list goes on and on. Surf the Internet and clear out your problems that confuse you. All of these activities will help you to tackle problems from different angles, making everything easier.
You obviously want to grow and do better in life, right? The best way is to have wise people as your mentors (导师), like teachers, colleagues and even special friends. Prior to making them a mentor, find out what makes them wiser, then engage in useful dialogue with them. .
If you have accumulated a lot of knowledge, then why not share it with others too? Communicating with others and helping them out will also increase your wisdom. So keep things balanced and never let go of your passions and values. This will pave the path to success.

4、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
How many bosses could rely on their employees threatening to quit in mass if they were abruptly forced out? Sam Altman received such a show of support from more than 700 staff after he was fired from Open AI that he was swiftly restored to his position by the board. But this level of loyalty is not typical and may not always be a good thing.
Management experts say staff who are loyal to their employer are inclined to invest more time and effort in their jobs, helping to create an engaged and higher performing workplace. In turn they receive pro notions and pay rises. They have a greater sense of belonging and potentially a longer career at the same organisation. But it is not all rosy. People who are too loyal are more likely to take actions that are deemed wrong to keep their jobs and protect their employer, according to a 2021 academic paper. They might overlook wrongdoing and be less likely to expose corruption. Loyalty is sometimes seen as such a force for good that it can be used to justify bad behavior.
Often companies and senior bosses are the real winner a of employee loyalty. Research led by Matthew Stanley at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business published this year, found that managers were more likely to exploit loyal individuals. Stanley recruited almost 1,400 managers to read about a fictional 29-year-old employee called John, who worked for a company that was trying to keep costs down. They had to decide how willing they would be to ask John to work longer hours and take on more work without more pay. Researchers created various situations including labelling John as loyal versus other traits such as honest and fair. Managers were more willing to ask loyal John to take on the burden of unpaid work.
However, Consultancy Gallup's latest state of the workplace report showed that half of the 122, 416 employees who took part in a global survey were looking out for new work. "You can't guarantee anyone will stick around these days," says a consultant who advises boards. This is particularly true of younger generations. They trust their bosses less and are not as patient when it comes to career progression, seeing little benefit in keeping their heads down and following orders if they do not see results quickly.
(1)、What does the author want to say by mentioning Sam Altman in Paragraph 1?A、Open AI's staff loyalty is quite high. B、Staff loyalty's rosy side in the work. C、Sam Altman could count on his employees. D、This level of loyalty is not always good.(2)、How did Matthew Stanley conduct his research!A、Through global surveys concerning a fictional employee named John. B、By creating different situations to ask John ta take on more unpaid work. C、By asking managers to make decisions about work arrangements of John. D、By recruiting managers to read fiction about work traits like loyal and honest.(3)、What can you learn from the passage?A、Loyalty can be used by management to exploit employees. B、Younger generations are more patient towards their employers. C、Employees who are loyal are more likely to report wrongdoing. D、Loyalty to an employer always leads to a positive work environment.(4)、What can be a suitable title for the text?A、How Job Loyalty Affects the Work Environment? B、Why Staff Loyalty is Not Always a Good Thing? C、Are Loyal Employees More Likely to be Promoted? D、Does Work Loyalty Help Career Progress More Quickly? -
5、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit; but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet(单簧管) like no one before or since. This made Benny Goodman a unique individual.
Other Americans who have stood out from the flock include Joe DiMaggio, Beverly Sill, Ernest Hemingway and Jonas Salk. They, like Benny Goodman, were recognized and honored for no other reason than excellence.
It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear garish clothes, dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos to make some kind of social statement. But an ordinary guy who has dyed his hair purple or orange is nothing more than the same person with a funny-looking head.
The whole purpose of individuality is excellence. Those who invent, who improvise(即兴发挥), who know more about a subject than other people do, and who take something that doesn't work and make it work––these people are the very soul of capitalism.
Charles Kettering didn't like the idea of cranking a car to make it start, so he invented the electric starter. Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles, and Elisha Otis, inventor of the elevator, indirectly created the city sky-line. These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one's capacity.
The ones with the purple hair and the funky jewelry are just along for the ride, trying to be "different" and not knowing how to go about it.
The student who earns straight A's on his report card has grasped the idea and has found the real meaning of individuality. So has the youngster who has designed his own spaceship, who gives piano recitals, who paints pictures of the world around him.
Benny Goodman understood it too. This is why he was at his best, blowing his clarinet, in a blue suit and black shoes.
(1)、The author mentions the appearance of Benny Goodman to ____.A、show what a talented musician should look like B、introduce an important figure in the musical world C、contrast with his talent in music performance D、indicate that he can't stand out from the flock(2)、The author would most probably agree that ____.A、an individualist tends to seek difference both in character and appearance B、the essence of individualism lies in pursuing excellence to the full C、being different in appearance is the very first step to being individual D、those who strive to win the recognition of others are real individualists(3)、According to the passage, which individual's actions may not truly embody the essence of individualism?A、A scientist who conducts research solely advancing knowledge for the greater good rather than for personal recognition. B、A social media influencer who conforms to popular opinions to maintain a large following. C、An artist who creates unique works but fail to gain fame and recognition from others. D、An entrepreneur who prioritizes ethical considerations over profit in his business practices.(4)、For the main thread, the article is organized by way of ____.A、specific to general B、cause and effect C、examples and conclusion D、comparison and contrast -
