Spanish poet Manuel Moya has found an inexhaustible treasure and source of inspiration in the works of some ancient Chinese poets. The grey-bearded 57-year-old never tried to hide his strong love for the famous ancient Chinese recluse (隐士），Tao Yuanming (352/365-427) and other poets Wang Wei, Li Bai and Du Fu, and openly emulates their styles, in both his works and life.

“ A home set in vanity fair turns out/ My shelter from carriage noises without/ You me how it can happen this way/ It proves remote when your mind is far away,” Tao thus wrote in his famous poem.

In “Recalling a Poem by Wang Wei (699/701-761 )，” Moya transplanted his hometown’s natural views verse by verse to where the Chinese poet put the sunset and birds over autumn mountains.

Such 21st-century Spanish versions of ancient Chinese pastoral poems helped win him a local poetry prize. It added to the many honors, some of them national, granted to him in a span of 34 years, during which he published more than 20 poetry anthologies and 10 storybooks and novels.

Moya started to imitate these ancient poems, thanks in large part to the efforts of Joaquin Chen, 79, who had translated those Chinese poems into Spanish. In fact, Moya regarded Chen as his ‘‘ tutor”. “ Mr. Chen led me into a new poetry wonderland,” he said. Moya is one of the many Spanish literary greats whom Chen’s work has converted to the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry. “I’m very grateful to the many people like Mr. Chen. I learned how to write from them,” said Moya. “The seed Mr. Chen sowed in me has grown into blossoms.”

“Poets of both countries care much about the miseries of human life, and express their thoughts in languages and melodies as beautiful as possible,” he said.

24. What does the underlined word “emulates” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?

A. Imitates.  B. Recites.  C. Collects,  D. Summarizes.

25. Why is Joaquin Chen mentioned?

A. To tell he is a master of Chinese poets.

B. To emphasize his unique position in poetry.

C. To show he has a great influence on Moya.

D. To prove his importance in literature.

26. What do Moya5s words in the last paragraph imply?

A. Spanish and Chinese poets use beautiful words.

B. Spanish and Chinese poetry have similar structure.

C. Spanish and Chinese poets learn from each other.

D. Spanish and Chinese poetry share an inner depth.

27. What’s a suitable tide for the passage?

A. The Spanish Admire Ancient Chinese Poetry

B. Ancient Chinese Poetry Inspires Spanish Poet

C. Spanish Poetry Comes from Chinese Poetry

D. Chinese Poetry Was Spread around the World

I have always straggled to fall asleep earlier than midnight. However, my schedule requires me to wake up at 5:30 am five days a week. I constantly feel tired. I am not alone in this case, though. One in three adults don’t get enough sleep. Poor sleep can be the result of everything from blue light to noise pollution and our very biology. But personally, changing the US work schedule is necessary.

Everyone’s body has a natural schedule based on genetics. 30%-50% of people sleep between 11 pm and 7 am. 40% of people rise a little earlier or sleep a little later. Many Americans begin to work when their body’s natural clock wants them to be asleep. Chronic (长期的）poor sleep can make us work ineffectively and even result in more severe health consequences like a higher risk of depression, diabetes，obesity，and even various cancers.

One town in Germany allows people to sleep when their body needs to. They have investigated ideas like starting work later and getting rid of “daylight saving time” to better fit their natural schedule. In the US，we don’t prioritize our chronobiology. Our society rewards people who wake up early, but honestly, that isn’t the case for most of us. People with later chronotypes are forced to adopt earlier schedules and suffer health consequences or miss Work and educational opportunities. It’s obvious that a change is needed.

The solution is simple. We should adjust US work schedules to be more accepting of employee chronobiology to give Americans better sleep health and productivity. We can allow workers to have more choices regarding their schedules to allow for healthy sleep. We can also shift the start of workdays to be an hour or two later. These changes might be big, but they will create better rested, more productive and healthy employees.

28. Why does the author mention his sleep situation in paragraph 1 ?

A. To define what healthy sleep is.

B. To show the influence of noise pollution.

C. To explain the common case of lack of sleep.

D. To compare different people’s sleeping habits.

29. Which is the characteristic of people’s natural clock?

A. It drives people to rise a little earlier.

B. It is different from person to person.

C. It goes against most peopled daily habits.

D. It influences many people's sleep quality.

30. What does the author think of the action of one town in Germany?

A. It is worth following.    B. It is taken for granted.

C. It puts pressure on people.   D. It is hard to put into practice.

31. What does the author mainly suggest in the last paragraph?

A. Adjusting work schedules.

B. Improving sleeping conditions.

C. Providing more work opportunities.

D. Paying more attention to productivity.

D

Freelancing (自由职业）means that there can be more than one source of income，often temporary ad-hoc assignments also known as ‘ gigs’（临时工）.Such choices are definitely a godsend for people who are restricted by other demands but still want to earn an income or make good use of their skills which are otherwise not fully used, for example, housewives and students on a mid-term break.

In fact，millennials (千禧一代) make up the largest number of the freelancer population.

Is the gig industry truly all sunshine and rainbows, though? While such an industry appeals to many folks with different needs and wants, the lack of certainty makes working in the gig economy unstable. The absence of a steady source of income typically makes it difficult for people to cope in the event of an emergency. A safety net in terms of substantial savings is needed and being a freelancer often fails to deliver on that front. Not working permanently for a company also means one does not get to enjoy the benefit, such as health-care benefits, typically afforded to a permanent employee.

Moreover, instability leads to insecurity. As gigs vary and assignments may not occur frequently, it is extremely difficult to plan for the future, underscoring one of the biggest traps of the gig economy: unreliability. In this increasingly changing, uncertain and complex world, it makes perfect sense to have a permanent job, to have a steady footing. Some freelancers do maintain some sense of security by freelancing on projects over longer periods.

In short, there are many benefits that come with ad-hoc employment and more flexible, convenient working arrangement. Freelancing has become a practical long-term work arrangement for many instead of a temporary solution to put food on the table. However, there are two sides to every story because no two people on the planet view the world through the same lens. The key here is to be the captain of one's ship and master of one’s fate.

32. Which of the following are most likely to be freelancers?

A. Professionals       B. Youth

C. The unemployed      D. University graduates.

34. How is the text mainly developed?

A. By listing data.      B. By giving examples.

C. By making contrasts.     D. For higher income

35. What’s the author’s attitude towards freelancing?

A. Negative.   B. Positive.  C. Neutral.  D. Indifferent.

How listen Actively

In the course of the last 20 years, I was a taker. Everything was all about me. But that has changed for me. I consistently look for ways to help others — personally and professionally.

I now focus on what the other person needs before my own needs as a way to build stronger relationships.  36 

What is active listening? Active listening is an analytical exercise.  37  To make active listening more effective, you can also add complementary (互补的)skill sets. Mirroring what people have just said in your own words helps them feel heard and helps ensure your understanding is accurate. That is why active listening, not listening while doing，is essential for building better relationships with your team.

38    Learning to become an active listener requires you to slow down, have patience, and learn to ignore distractions (especially emails and texts). Techniques like reflective listening can help. If you are regularly repeating what has been said, you won’t miss any part of the conversation.  39 This helps build trust, making the speakers like you more and therefore more likely work on what you both agree on.

What will active listening do for you and your career? Active listening isn’t just about managing a team member or a conflict. Do leaders respond to the concerns and issues they hear from the staff? Do you have the skill set to actively listen and address them?  40   If you do it, you might just find your team or your organization is more adaptive than most ones.

A. Why do you want to be a listener?

B. It requires concentration on what is said.

C. How do you become a better active listener?

D. What should you do to benefit your speaker?

E. These are the questions employees are asking.

F. You also show that the speaker has your full attention.

G. I am able to do that when I stop talking and start listening.
