8、history.BMaggie Perkins had been working as a teacher in Georgia for nearly five years before she decided to “quiet quit” her job. The decision didnt mean leaving her position, but rather limiting her work to her contract (合约) hours. Nothing more, nothing less. “If I didnt quiet quit my teaching job

9、, I would burn out,” she says. Like Perkins, “quiet quitters” on Tik Tok defend their choice to take a step back from work, but company managers and workplace experts argue that although doing less might feel good in the short term, it could harm your careerand your companyin the long run. In the wa

10、ke of the global pandemic and the Great Resignation, employees began to reimagine what work could look like. Gallups State of the Global Workplace report in June found job dissatisfaction at an all-time high, with 60% reporting emotional detachment (分离) from work. Disengaged workers cost the global

11、economy an estimated $7.8 trillion in lost productivity and an economic slowdown. Now, companies have become sensitive to worker burnout. Gergo Vari, CEO of job board platform Lensa, advocates an alternative to quiet quitting: “loudly persisting”. That is, empowering employees to speak up about how

12、their organization can serve their goals. “When you loudly persist, you have a sense of belonging to the company,” he says. Career coach Allison Peck says she views “quiet quitting” as a symptom of employees not connecting to their work or managers. Her career advice for quiet quitters is to take ev

13、en braver action. “Finding a new job, team, or company that better suit you can improve your mindset at work,” she says. Some workers, though, say that companies concerns about “quiet quitting” are unfounded. Shini Ko, a software developer, has set limits on her hours and now runs a small-scale vege

18、ke those chilling words. Like millions of other cancer patients, his wife had been treated successfully. Cancer recurrence is never a good sign, but it doesnt mean you have to give up hope. Over the past decade, powerful new treatments have been developed to fight most stubborn cancers. Most, howeve

19、r, are still being tested in so-called clinical trials, and getting yourself enrolled in one takes some doing.Clinical trials are research studies on human patients to test the safety and effectiveness of new treatments. There are hundreds of clinical cancer trials under way, involving thousands of

20、patients. What most people dont realize is that the scientists who conduct these studies need test subjects almost as badly as the subjects need treatment, and that lately the scientists have been running short of willing participants. At a conference on clinical trials held recently in Alexandria,

21、Virginia, researchers trying to devise strategies for signing up more patients noted that one of the reasons there has been so much progress in treating pediatric(小儿科的)cancers in the US over the past 20 years is that 60% of all children with cancer are enrolled in some kind of trial. With adults, en

22、rollment falls off dramatically, to only 2% to 3% of eligible patients.Why is this? Partly its owing to patient misconceptions. “Patients are concerned if they enter a clinical trial that they may be part of the unlucky group that gets the placebo or dummy treatment and not the real medicine,” says

23、Dr. Bob Comis, president of the National Cancer Cooperative Groups. They think the placebo group get no treatment at all, when in act it gets whatever is considered the best current standard of care.Cost shouldnt be a consideration. Most clinical trials are free to patients; some even pay their subj

24、ects. Insurance companies in the past have been reluctant to cover the non-experimental part of the treatment, but they are starting to come around.Now it is true that research scientists dont always have the best bedside manner, and sometimes they unnecessarily keep patients in the dark. And the co

Researchers have found ways of curing 60% of all children with cancer.30. Which of the following is the closest in me

27、aning to the underlined word “dummy” in Paragraph 3?A. Fee and effective.B. harmless but ineffective.C. free and harmful.D. expensive but effective.31. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of this passage?A. Cancer patients in clinical trials enjoy the best current standard of care.B

28、. Why adults with cancer are unwilling to sign up for clinical trials.C. Clinical cancer trials are under way, though with some problems.D. Cancer recurrence is curable in clinical trials.DPeople often call music a universal language, but do certain songs really cause the same mental images in our m

29、inds? Scientists at Princeton find that while music absolutely can stimulate(激发)similar mental experiences, the results also strongly suggest culture is a major factor.A total of 622 people took part in the study. All of the volunteers came from one of three locations: two suburban college towns in

30、the US (one in Arkansas and the other in Michigan), or the rural Chinese village of Dimen. Its worth noting that the main language in Dimen is Dong, a tonal language unrelated to the official language of China. Locals there have little contact with Western media or culture at all. All participants l

31、istened to the exact same 32 “musical stimuli” which were 60-second cuts of instrumental music. Half of these pieces came from Western music while the rest came from Chinese music. After hearing, researchers asked the groups about the images they saw in their heads while listening. Incredibly, peopl

32、e from Arkansas and Michigan often described very similar stories, even using the exact same words frequently. Dimen listeners, on the other hand, envisioned stories that were similar to each other but quite different from the American listeners. More specifically, one track led t o Americans seeing

33、 a cowboy in the hot desert surveying an empty town. Meanwhile, Chinese participants imagined a man in ancient times reflecting on the loss of a loved one. “Theres something about the results thats really surprising, especially because people encounter music in 2022 often in a solitary way, over hea

34、dphones. But it turns out, its still a shared experience, almost like a shred dream, although not universally shared, ”says Elizabeth Margulis, the study author. The results paint a more complex picture of musics power. Music can generate remarkably similar stories in listeners minds, but it depends

35、 on a common set of cultural experiences. So while we imagine music can bring people together, the opposite can also be true-it can distinguish between sets of people with a different background or culture.32What is the probable reason for Dimen being selected for the study?AIts unique cultural back

36、ground.BIts close contact with US.CIts complex language system.DIts long tradition of music.33What were the participants required to do after listening to music?AExchange their comments on the scene.BImagine musicians original inspiration.CDescribe the picture forming in mind.DRecall personal music-
