As we all knw, dctrs are terrible pilts. They dn’t listen because they already knw it all. I was
lucky: I became a pilt in 1970, almst ten years befre I graduated frm medical schl. I didn’t realize
then, but becming a pilt makes me a better surgen. I lved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in
wrse weather, I learned abut crew resurce management(机组资源管理), r CRM, a new idea t make
flying safer. It means that crew members shuld listen and speak up fr a gd result, regardless f
psitins.
I first read abut CRM in 1980. Nt lng after that, an attending dctr and I were flying in bad
weather. The cntrller had us turn t late t get ur landing ready. The attending dctr was flying; I was
safety pilt. He was s busy because f the bad turn, he had frgtten t put the landing gear (起落架) dwn.
He was a better pilt — and my bss — s it felt unusual t speak up. But I had t: Our lives were in danger.
I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need t put the landing gear dwn nw!" That was my first real
lessn in the pwer f CRM, and I’ve used it in the perating rm ever since.
CRM requires that the pilt/surgen encurage thers t speak up. It further requires that when
pinins are frm the ppsite, the dctr desn’t verreact, which might prevent fellw dctrs frm
vicing pinins again. S when I’m in the perating rm, I ask fr ideas and help frm thers. Smetimes
they’re nt willing t speak up. But I hpe that if I cntinue t encurage them, smeday smene will keep
me frm “landing gear up”.
24. What des the authr say abut dctrs in general?
A. They pretend t be gd pilts.
C. They like flying by themselves.
B. They are unwilling t take advice.
D. They are quick learners f CRM.
25. When did the authr deepen his understanding f the pwer f CRM?
A. when he saved the plane by speaking up
C. when his bss landed the plane t late
B. when his bss perated n a patient
D. when he was in charge f a flying task
26. What des “landing gear up” in the last paragraph prbably mean?
A. Listening t what fellw dctrs say
B. Overreacting t different pinins
C. Fllwing flying requirements
D. Making a mistake that may cst lives
27. Which f the fllwing can best summarize the main idea f this passage?
A. The Making f a Gd Pilt
B. CRM: A New Way t Make Flying Safe
C. A Pilt-Turned Dctr
D. Flying Makes Me a Better Dctr

images shw the iceberg has remained in ne piece. It is estimated t be abut 150 kilmeters lng and 48
kilmeters wide. It is traveling at ne kilmeter per hur and is n a path t hit Suth Gergiain arund 30

This is the time f year when seals and penguins spend a lt f time caring fr their yung. The

culd remain fr up t 10 years and change the area's whle ecsystem. These are glbally significant
ppulatins f these species. If these species fail in this particular area, then the numbers glbally are ging
t g dwn quite dramatically.
Prfessr Geraint Tarling, an eclgist at the British Antarctic Survey, said, "The breaking ff f
icebergs frm Antarctica is a natural prcess. But the prcess is changing with climate change. What we're
seeing with mdels and sme bservatins nw is that this is happening at an increasing rate. And s, this
might becme mre f a usual thing in the future."

The last few mnths have seen recrd numbers f us wrking frm hme, which begs the questin: are
ffices still needed?
The likelihd is that yu r a family member may have spent at least sme time wrking frm hme
since lckdwn began. Accrding t Finder. cm, a huge percent f us were wrking frm hme, which
has led cmmentatrs t name the last few mnths a mass-wrk-frm-hme experiment.
Many peple sn nticed psitives such as increased prductivity as a result f n ffice distractins,
and mre free time because there’s n need fr cmmuting. Fr mre, parents in particular, the ability t
wrk frm hme with flexible hurs has been a huge psitive. Hme wrking als cuts pllutin levels
due t fewer f us relying n the daily cmmute and wuld save cmpanies the csts f renting ffice space.
Sme argue the shift t remte wrking is lng verdue, with bradband technlgy nw widely
available and an ever-increasing number f peple balancing wrking with childcare.
“Hpefully it will shw emplyers wh were resistant that it is pssible t wrk effectively frm hme,”
says Mandy Garner, managing editr f Mandy adds that flexible wrking was
regarded mainly as a bit f a favur dne t mums. There was little research abut it. Nw we have
cuntless studies shwing the benefits.
A key cncern, hwever, is lneliness, with Finder. cm reprting 19 percent f remte wrkers were
experiencing this. Even with vide calls, it is difficult t recreate the buzzing dynamic f an ffice. Many
peple als have a daily battle with pr Wi-Fi. And there’s the challenge f switching ff nce the
wrking day is ver—an ffice creates a physical and mental line between wrk and hme, which can be
easily blurred(变得模糊) when wrking frm hme.
The future f ffices is uncertain but with the benefits—t emplyees and emplyers—f remte wrking,
it may be that a real shift has taken place and we wn’t be ging back t wrk in the same way again.
32. What d we knw abut wrking frm hme?
A. It was resisted by emplyees.
B. It can result in mre distractins.
C. It may lead t higher efficiency.
D. It brings abut bradband technlgy.
33. What advantage des wrking in ffices have ver wrking frm hme?
A. It will keep emplyees free frm lneliness.
B. It may have the challenge f switching ff.
C. It can balance wrking with childcare.
D. It can build a line between wrk and hme.
34. What is the authr’s attitude tward remte wrking?
A. Psitive.
B. Sympathetic.
C. Disapprving.
D. Indifferent.
35. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
