Remote work has become the norm for millions of white-collar workers in the United States after the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered offices four years ago.However,employers have begun asking workers to retun to physical offices am id fears that remote and hybrid work reduces productivity.A study recently published in the scientific journal Nature suggests that the hybrid model makes workers happier,less likely to quit,and has no impacton productivity.
Stanford University economics professor Nick Bloom and colleagues conducted research on the effects of hybrid working on 1.612 employees at Trip,com,a global travel agent site based in Shanghai.The researchers surveyed the employees,who all worked in engineering,marketing,and finance in the company's airfare and IT divisions,between 2021 and 2022.They found that the company's hybrid work schedule improved job satisfaction and decreased quit rates by 33%,especially among non-managers,female employees,and those with long commutes (通勤) .
The study also revealed that employees working in-office or in a hybrid model did not experience a notable difference in performance reviews or promotions between the two years."This is an important result given the evidence that fuly remoteworking can damage employee developmentand promotions,"the study reads.Moreover, workers had the same productivity rates regardless of whether they worked in-office or at home under the hybrid model.To determine employee productivity,the researchers analyzed scores workers received in categories like innovation,leadership,development,and execution(执行) of projects in perfomance reviews.They foundno difference in the reviews among employees whoworked solely inthe office and those that were hybrid
Employees who participated in the research were surveyed twice on their views about how working from home impacted productivity.The first survey was conducted when executives first decided to experiment with a hybrid model in 2021,andthe second was at the end of the researchers'time analyzing worker productivity in 2022. Bloom and his colleagues found that the experience of hybrid working led to a small improvement in average employees beliefs about the productivity impact of hybrid work.

D.The surveys showed a positive change in employees'views on hybrid work 31.Whatis the best title for the text

Human doctors perform amputations(截肢),or removal of an arm,leg,or finger,after a serious injury.The purpose of this action is to prevent infectionor disease.But humans are not alone in doing them.New research shows that some ants perform amputations on injured ants to help them survive an injury.The behavior was documented in Florida carpenter ants.
Scientists said they observed these ants treating injured ants in the colony in two ways.They either cleaned the wound using their mouth parts or amputated the limb,or leg,by biting it off The choice of care depended on the injury's location.When it was further up the leg,they always amputated.When it was further down,they never amputated
Erik Frank of the Universityof Wurzburg in Germany is the lead writer of the research.It appeared recently in the publication Current Biology.Frank said the study describes for the first time how a non-human animal uses amputationson another individualto save their life.
The researchers studied injuries to the upper and lower parts ofthe leg.Such injuries are common lyfound in different kinds of ants while fighting and hunting among insects and animals.Frank said,"The ants decide between amputating the leg or spending more time caring for the wound.We do not know how they decide this.But we know why the treatment differs."
"It has to do with the flow of hemolymph ( 血 淋 巴 ) .Injuries further down the leg have an increased hemolymph flow."Frank said.So harmful bacteria can enterthe body after only five minutes.An amputation would not help infection after that time.He continued,"Injuries further up the leg have a much slower hemolymph flow giving enough time for timelyand effective amputations."
The study found that after an upper le g injury,an ant that experiences amputation has a survival rate of 90 to 95 percent.For lower leg injuries in which just cleaning was performed.the survival rate was about 75 percent, compared to about 15 percent for injuries that received no care.
32.Whydo ants perform amputations on injured members of their colony
A.To prepare for a future battle. B.To practice their survival skills.
C.To show dominance over other ants. D.To ensure the survival of the injured ants.
33.What does Erik Frank think of their study
A.Pioneering B.Interesting. C.Challenging. D.Disappointing.
34.Whatdoes paragraph 5 mainly talk about A.The two treatment methods for leginjuries. B.The survival rates after different treatments
C.The importance ofhemolymph flowin injury response. D.The effect of hemolymph flow on amputation decisions. 35.What is the author's purpose of writing this text
A.To tell a unique story about ants. B.To share n new scientific discovery.
C.To introduce some survival skills of ants. D.To persuade scientists tofurther research ants.

Ten years ago,I decided Ineeded to do more than teach leadership.I needed to find a realway for my teenage students to make a difference.We decided to help the homeless.We began by collecting food and clothing for people in need.Just days before our scheduled trip,our local newspaper ran an article about the many organizations helping the homeless along Hastings Street,an area known as Canada's poorest neighborhood.We realizedthat the homeless there were already receiving plenty of food and clothing,so we decided to look for a more significant way to make a difference.
Rather than handing out food and clothing,we developed what we call Project HELLO (Helping Everyone
Locate Loved Ones),and we made greeting cards so that the homeless had something to give.The idea was simple: We would take our blank,handmade greeting cards to the streets and invite people to write to those they had lost touch with
Magic began.One by one,people who had not spoken with family for years opened up and shared their stories. The homeless wrote to their children,parents,friends and siblings.We searched phone directories to connect with families and mailed messages of love from long-lost loved ones.We made hundreds of connections.I recognized that some of the stories were soraw that our five-minute visits were not enough.I began what I call "Beyond HELLO"and made the personal commitment to take a homeless person to lunch once a month to hear his orher story.
Cindy was the first lady I met.She had moved to Vancouver twenty years earlier after ending a miserable marriage and giving her child up for adoption in Ontario.She suffered great pan as she was battling cancer.On the day we met,she was sitting on the sidewalk.I approached her with water and she told me she was starving.With a smile,I invited herto lunch,during which our friendship began.
Despite Cindy's pain,she hung onto hope —her one reason for living.Although twenty-seven years had passed,Cindy still dreamed of meeting her daughter.She asked for my help.She kmew the date ofbirth and thather daughter'sbirth name was Paige.
注意:1续写词数应为150左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With determination im my heant,I promised Cindy that I would do everything in my power to help her reconmect with her daughter The day of their re union was one of the most moving moments of my life.
