• 1．4 Hotels That Will Make Your Life Easier For the business traveler who is all about efficiency：Check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum of trouble.
     When you are pressed for time on a business trip，nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process.On your next trip，try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process.
     1.Yotel New York
     The self-service kiosks（售貨亭）at this high-tech New York hotel work just like the ones you'd see at an airport.There are just five-steps to register and obtain your card key.There is even a robotic luggage bellboy.You tap in the number of bags you are carrying and sizes，then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker （say，for a day trip）.This also speeds up the check-in process if the first thing you need to do，like me，is heading to a series of meetings
     2.Marriott Detroit Airport
     Another option for business travelers in a hurry：Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year，including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel（I've tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet）.Here is the basic idea：you download the iPhone or Android app.The night before，you can "check-in" virtually.When you arrive，you get an alert that the room is ready and your key，which is already tied to your reservation，is waiting for you at the desk.
     3.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis
     I happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works.Like the Yotel，the kiosk asks you to insert your credit card，similar to an airport terminal.The whole process took about three minutes，when I left，I was equally impressed-with the fast check-out.An agent meets you in the lobby with an ipad and asks for an email to use for a receipt.The big advantage：you never have to wait in line.
     4.Radisson：LaCrosse
     The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster.At a few selected hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin，you use a mobile app to register and then receive a barcode by email or text.When you get the kiosk，you scan the barcode to get your key without any other steps required.It's super fast.You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City，Seattle，and Phoenix as well.

• 2．The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about a serious problem with one of the main computers.
     He dialed-the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper，"Hello？" The boss asked， "Is your daddy at home？" "Yes，" whispered the small voice. "May I talk with him？" the man asked.
     To the surprise of the boss，the small voice whispered，"No." Wanting to talk with an adult，the boss asked，"Is your mommy there？" "Yes，" came the answer. "May I talk with her？" Again the small voice whispered， "No."
     Knowing that it was impossible that a young child would be left home alone，the boss decided he would just leave a message to the person who should be there watching over the child. "Is there anyone besides you？" the boss asked the child. "Yes，" whispered the child， "A policeman."
     Wondering what a policeman would be doing at his employee's home，the boss asked， "May I speak with the policeman？"
     "No，he's busy，" whispered the child. "Busy doing what？" asked the boss. "Talking to daddy and mommy and the fireman，" came the whispered answer.
     Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter through the earpiece on the phone，the boss asked，"What is the noise？" "A helicopter." answered the whispered voice. "What is going on there？" asked the boss，now alarmed.
     In a serious whispering voice the child answered， "The search team just landed the helicopter." Alarmed and concerned and more than just a little disappointed，the boss asked， "Why are they there？" Still whispering，the young voice replied along with an unclear giggly （竊笑），"They are looking for me."
  
  （1）Why did the boss call the employee？

  
  A．He wanted to talk to the child.
  B．He wanted to join in the game.

• 3．The newly-elected president of Brazil，Jair Bolsonaro says that his country should withdraw（退出）from the 2015 Paris Agreement，and that Brazil's rainforest protections are standing in the way of economic success.During the election campaign，he promised to ease protections for areas of the Brazilian Amazon set aside for native people and wildlife.Are Brazil's rainforests in danger？
     The Amazon，the world's largest rainforest，is called "the lungs of the planet." Each tree takes in and stores carbon dioxide from the air around it.Billions of trees pull up water through their roots and release water vapor into the air，forming tiny drops of water.The Amazon creates 30 to 50 percent of its own rainfall.Carlos Nobre，a climate scientist，says that it is almost impossible to say Just how important the rainforest is to the planet's living systems.
     Some of Bolsonaro's support comes from business and farming groups.One supporter，Luiz Carlos，noted that farmers "are not invaders，they are producers." He blamed the past government for supporting rainforest protections at the cost of farmers. "Brazil，" he said，"will be the biggest farming nation on Earth during Bolsonaro's years."
     Paulo Artaxo，a professor of environmental physics at the University of Sao Paulo，says that if Bolsonaro keeps his campaign promises，then "deforestation of the Amazon will probably increase quickly ----and the effects will be felt everywhere on the planet."
     Other scientists warn that if the Amazon and other tropical rainforests lose too many trees，this could affect rainfall in other areas.Without enough trees to support the rainfall，the longer and bigger dry season could turn more than half of the rainforest into a tropical grassland.
  
  （1）The first paragraph is intended to

  .
  A．draw people's attention to the disappearing rainforests
  B．a(chǎn)sk people to ease the protection of rainforests
  C．a(chǎn)ttract the public to the newly-elected president

  （2）According to the passage，rainforests can

  .
  A．produce much farmland

• 4．There are two main types of office layouts used by most companies around the world：Landscape Office and Enclosed Office.A landscape office lacks privacy，however，this office layout is more beneficial than an enclosed office for employees to improve work efficiency and productivity.
     Some people might desire an undisturbed workplace.According to the survey collected from a company with the two kinds of office layouts，most of managers prefer a workplace where they can concentrate on their work and make a clear thinking.However，managers that possess their own enclosed offices might have the feeling of being distant from their clerks，which leads to high pressure.Meanwhile，employees tend to be nervous when they have conversations with their managers in an obviously hierarchical（等級(jí)制的） environment.In contrast，a landscape office makes it easier and more pleasant for employees to communicate with their managers or their colleagues；this would result in speeding up work efficiency and productivity.
     Besides，greater interaction is beneficial for employees to build up friendship in a landscape office.This can be proved by the experiment of Brookes and Kaplan.They recorded the attitudes and opinions of 120 employees toward their enclosed office before they moved to the landscape office，and then after nine months they were tested again.The researchers discovered that those employees performed positive changes in group sociability.When people have better group sociability，they experience a better team work and efficient cooperation，which surely promotes work productivity.
     Some opponents claim that a landscape office would lead to the decline of the value of work satisfaction and motivation from employees.However，the result from other researchers remained controversial；in their opinion there are several factors which affect job satisfaction and motivation.600 Canadian federal government department workers who were housed at a modern landscape office and were surveyed gave both negative and positive feedback.They admitted that they felt the sense of belonging to a team or a working community，which mainly contributes to job satisfaction.Motivation is also increased by a sense of responsibility for and loyalty to a team.
     Admittedly，there are some advantages that only enclosed offices possess.However，a landscape office can combine the features of the traditional enclosed office，for example，designing the independent meeting room to decrease noise from discussion.Although the benefits of a landscape office outweigh those of an enclosed office，which layout is better should be decided by the characteristics of the people and the type of work they do.
  
  （1）What is mainly talked about in the passage？

  
  A．Colleague cooperation and its motivation.
  B．Group sociability and its productivity.
  C．Office privacy and its atmosphere.
  D．Working environment and its effect.
  （2）What has the significant effect on productivity according to Paragraph 2？

  
  A．Job satisfaction
  B．Relaxed atmosphere.
  C．Group sociability.
  D．Undisturbed workplace.
  （3）What can be inferred from the passage？

  
  A．Enclosed office leads to individual creativity.
  B．Different working styles in enclosed office is encouraged.
  C．Landscape office contributes to effective conversations.
  D．Frequent communication in landscape office results in high pressure.
  （4）What is the author's attitude towards office layouts？

  
  A．Objective.
  B．Casual.
  C．Optimistic.
  D．Skeptical.

     Food waste，which has become a global issue，serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues in different countries.In the West，for instance，consumerism，the belief that it's good to use a lot of goods and services，is often to blame for food waste.（3）

  .Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous.Many even feel that they lose face their guests have eaten all the food.On campus，a generation of single children is less aware of the food waste issue.Students nowadays are well protected by their families and hardly have any concept of how much toil others go through in order to provide them with the food they eat.
     （4）

  .There are 925 million hungry people in the world.They don't have enough food to eat.And farmers work very hard to grow the crops.（5）

  .It's also important that everyone thinks about how they can do their bit to reduce food waste.Recently a campaign against food waste launched on line in China might make you think twice about being so wasteful.
  
  A.So we shouldn't waste our food.
  B.Students waste is extremely serous
  C.China，in turn，features its own eating culture.
  D.But canteen waste is merely the tip of the iceberg.
  E.To reduce food waste is a big task，and it needs time.
  F.Most of us would simply throw away any leftover food
  G.Students can never realize the serious food waste situation.
