Later said they were less interesting in science than others who read about the same topics, but without the use of specialized te

21、rms.They also felt less informed about science and less qualified to discuss science topics. Its noteworthy that it made no difference if the jargon terms were defined in the text. Even when the terms were defined, readers still felt the same lack of engagement as readers who read jargon that wasnt

22、explained.The problem is that the mere presence of jargon sends a discouraging message to readers. Hillary Schulman, the author of the study, asserts that specialized words are a signal. Jargon tells people that the message isnt for them. Theres an even darker side to how people react to jargon.(10)

23、In another study, researchers found that reading scientific articles containing jargon led people to doubt the actual science.They found the opposite, when a text is easier to read. Then. People are more persuaded.Thus, its important to communicate clearly when talking about complex science subjects

24、. This is especially true with issues related to public health, like the safety of new medications and the benefits of vaccines.（11）Schulman concedes that the use of jargon is appropriate with scientific audiences.

29、.(13)The sand under the hill defeated several attempts by Higgins workers to make a proper hole.Higgins had forecast oil at 1000 feet, a totally made-up figure.

36、people dislike their jobs. Its an astonishing but statistical fact, 16a primary cause of employed dissatisfaction, according to fresh research, is that many believe they have terrible managers.Few describe their managers as malicious or manipulative, though, while those types certainly exist, they a

37、re minority. The majority of managers seemingly just dont know any better. Theyre often emulating bad managers theyve had in the past, is likely theyve never read a management book or attended a management course. They might not have even reflected on what good management looks like and how it would

38、 influence their own management style. The researchers interviewed employees about their managers. Beginning with a question about the worst manager they had ever had. From this, the researchers came up with four main causes of why some managers are perceived as being simply awful at their jobs.17Th

39、e first cause was company culture, which was seen by employees as enabling poor management practices. It was specifically stressful work environments, minimal training, and a lack of accountability that were found to be the most blame worthy. Often a manager superiors can effectively encourage a man

40、agers distasteful behavior when they fail to discipline the persons wrong doings. Such workplaces are sometimes described as toxic. The second cause was attributed to the managers characteristics: those deemed to be most destructive were odd people, those without drive, those allow personal problems

41、 into the workplace, and those with an unpleasant temperament or personality in general. The third cause of poor management was associated with their deficiency of qualifications. Not so much the form of variety one obtains from a university. But the informal variety that comes from credible work ex

42、perience and professional accomplishments. The fourth course concerned managers whove been promoted for reasons other than potential. One reason in particular why these people had been promoted was that they had been around the longest. It wasnt their skill set, or other merits that got them the job

43、, it was their tenure.A point worth making is that the study18was based only on the perspective of an employees.The researchers didnt ask senior leaders what they thought of their front-line managers. Its quite possible, their content with how the individuals they promoted are now performing. Merril

44、y ignorant of the damage theyre actually causing. Which might explain why, as the researchers conclude, those same middle managers are usually unaware that they are a bad manager.Question 16: What is a primary cause of employee dissatisfaction according to recent research?A)Unsuitable jobsB)Bad mana

45、gersC) Insufficient motivationD)Tough regulationsQuestion17: What is one of the causes for poor management practices?A) Ineffective trainingB)Toxic company cultureC) Lack of regular evaluationD)Overburdening of managersQuestion 18: What do we learn about the study on job dissatisfaction?A) It collec

46、ted feedback from both employers and employeesB)It was conducted from frontline managers point of viewC)It provided meaningful clues to solving the problemD)It was based only on the perspective of employeesRecordingTwoWith the use of driver-less vehicles seemingly inevitable, 19mining companies in t

47、he vast Australian desert state of Western Australia are definitely taking the lead. Iron ore is a key ingredient in steel-making. The mining companies here produce almost 300 million tons of iron ore a year. The 240 giant autonomous trucks in use, in the Western Australian mines, can weigh 400 tons

48、, fully loaded.And travel at speeds of up to sixty kilometers per hour. They are a technological leap, transporting iron ore along routes which run for hundreds of kilometers from mines to their destinations. Here when the truck arrives at its destination, staff in the operation center direct it precisely where to unload. Vast quantities of iron ore are then transported by autonomous trains to ocean p
