Later she was transferred to manage a team in Sweden. She was excited about her new role but soon realized that managing her new team would be a challenge.Despite their friendliness, Gabriela didnt feel respected as a leader. Her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings. When she gave them instructions on how to carry out a task, they would often go about it in their own way without checking with her. When she announced her decisions on the project, they would continue giving their opinions as if it were still up for discussion.What Gabriela was experiencing was a cultural shock in expectations. Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede uses the concept of “power distance” to describe how power is distributed in different cultures. In her previous work environment, Gabriela was used to a high power distance culture where power is respected. In such a culture, leaders make the big decisions and are not often challenged. Her Swedish team, however, were used to working in a low power distance culture where employees often work together with their bosses to find solutions and make decisions. Here, leaders act as coaches who encourage independent thought and expect to be challenged.When Gabriela became aware of the cultural differences between her and her team, she took the initiative (主动权) to have an open conversation with them about their feelings about her leadership.Pleased to be asked for their thoughts, Gabrielas team openly expressed that they were not used to being told what to do. They enjoyed having more room for initiative and creative freedom. When she told her team exactly what she needed them to do, they felt that she didnt trust them to do their job well.With a better understanding of the reasons behind each others behavior，Gabriela was able to make adjustments to her management style. Finally she effectively motivated her team to achieve their goals.来%源:z&zste#24. What problem did Gabriela face with her Swedish team at the beginning?A.

When in Rome, do as Romans do. CIt would not be an overstatement to say that salt is one of the greatest discoveries in the history of mankind. Just imagine how tasteless our food would be if salt had not been discovered. Apart from adding flavor to our food, it is also an essential ingredient for the health of both man and animals, provided it is taken in the right quantities. Salt is also used by the food processing and meat packing industries as a seasoning or preservative ingredient.Salt has always been helpful in the building of communities and societies, as man normally built his settlements around the sources of salt. At one point of time, salt was also used as a currency. Today, there are many countries around the world that are working hard to extract(提炼)salt so that we can enjoy our food to the fullest. Some of these are producing enough salt to satisfy the requirement of the entire world, while others are producing just enough to support their own people.来&源:z*zstep.co%mAccording to the British Geological Survey, in 2014, China was the top salt producer in the world.

DWhen Johan Bavmans son Viggo was born, so was a deeply personal photograph project: a look at fathers using Swedens parental-leave policyto stay home with their children.来&源:中国%教育出版网Paid maternal leave（女性产假) around childbirth is common throughout the world: Its federal policy in 34 or the 35 member nations, such countries as England, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, etc. of the OECD(all but the United States). About two-thirds of those nations also fund at least brief parental leaves for fathersa benefit first extended by Sweden, in 1974.Swedens program has allowed parents to split 480 days of subsidized（补贴的）leave to care for children and earn bonuses according to how evenly they split the leave. But despite those encouragements, only about 14 percent of Swedens fathers “took paternal leave and shared the days equally with their partner,” Bavman says.He joined the ranks of those dads in 2012 at Viggos birth “I wanted to be at home by myself with him, to get to know his needs” and is also using leave to stay home with Manfred, born in 2016. In his photo project（now a book）, Bavman shows fathers in Sweden overseeing child and home care. “Its gone unrecognized that this is really hard, full-time work” he says, and “something that women have always been doing.”Like most new mothers, Caroline Ihlstrom looked forward to cuddling and feeding her new-borns. But premature（早产的） twins Parisa and Leia were unable to nurse. When Bavman arrived to take photos shortly after the twins birth, their father, Samed Kohigoltapeh, had fed them formula（配方奶）and was warming them against his skin. A construction engineer, Kohigoltapeh took joint parental leave with Ihlstrom for the babies first four months and then soloed with them for six more months.So far Bavman has taken photos of 45 fathers on leave. He is happy to offer them as role models “so men can see the benefits of being on leave.” But hes not satisfied with the nickname some Swedes supply: latte-pappor, or “latte dads,” as if the men perform childcare duties between coffee dates. Though he does drink coffee, Bavman says, “I dont have time to sit.”来源&:中%教网Taking long leaves with his children has made him a better parent, Bavman says. He hopes his photography project will inspire more fathersand more countriesto give the idea a try.32What can we learn from paragraph 2?ATwo-thirds of the countries carry out maternal leave.BNot many fathers exploit the policy to take care of their kids.CMost of the member countries of OECD support paternal leave.DThe parental leave policy is to split days of subsidized leave to care for children.33Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word soloed?ALooked after the babies aloneBsang songs aloneCjoined his wifeDconstruct a personal project34Which of the following is TRUE according to Bavman?www.z&%zstep.*com#AThe longer days the father is on leave than the mother, the more bonus they should receive.来源:z#zstep*.co&m%BThe fathers are doing what tough work previously done by mothers.CThe nickname, representing what life he is living, is appropriate .DMost fathers take such leaves because they want to stay away from their jobs.35Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.

Usually, this "faceless" communication doesn't create problems. Identity doesn't really matter when you're in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the idea makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversations. Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests？中国*教育%&出版#网 37 They are looking for serious love relationships.
