8、teacher,has started the program Building Men to create a positive vision of manhood not just for himself, but also for the boys he teaches.Looking back, Mr. Horan says his program developed from a low point in his life. In 2004 as he went through a hard time, he felt societys definition of manhood w
9、as leading him down the wrong path. His life, he says, lacked substance and depth.“A desire became planted in my heart, that is, to find healing(治愈)from the unhealthy messages I believed about manhood,” he says. Then, his sister recommended a book,Season of Life by Jeffrey Marx, which digs into the
10、discovery of what being a man is all about.Joe took all the clues and started to put life lessons into his class.Despite limited resources and funding,Building Men began at one middle school in the district in 2006. It grew on a shoestring budget, expanding school by school, year by year.Today,33 te
11、achers, like Mr.Colabufo, work across 18 schools. Mr.Colabufo has known Mr.Horan for several years, noting many people are aware of the programs success.“Joes a legend in this district,“Mr.Colabufo says.The program appeals to boys at first because of a basketball component, but its secret is how it
12、dives into off-the-court issues through discussions on character. Building Men helps participants gain insight, work to restore self-worth, and learn to calm emotions. SIR is a central component of lessons, standing for significance, integrity, and relationships.At a recent breakfast fundraiser,Shat
13、eek Nelson, a senior at Nottingham High School, shared his experience,having participated in Building Men since middle school.He said he learned to see the bigger picture, rather than living in the moment.

17、vel company, ” is remind people what its like when you don t travel.”Travel is never out of the top three desire purchases. People will give up a kitchen,sofa， and surprisingly supermarket shopping, to protect the holiday.Protecting the holiday at all costs makes total sense to me.Holidays are not a
18、 luxury, but one of those essential things in life that allow us to get through hard times. The thought of a holiday promotes a sense of well-being, of calm, of balance.Holidays do not have to be expensive, or to places far away. Obviously, two weeks in the Maldives is the dream,but others can count
19、 as a holiday.For me, a holiday needs only a few things: a drawer to put my phone in, a couple of good books, and a chance to hang out with my family.In my twenties, when I was almost constantly in a state of anxiety, I never went on holiday. I was scared of flying, scared of my boss noticing how mu
20、ch nicer life was without me in the office. I thought not going on holiday made me a harder worker,when actually it just made me a more tired one. Then, a boss pulled me aside to tell me that he wasnt going to thank me for not taking my holidays. I then booked a cheap beach holiday with a friend, an
21、d was genuinely amazed to find I felt much better for it.So now, I make sure I always have a holiday booked- even if said holiday is only a weekend staying with my sister. A change is as beneficial as a rest, said Winston Churchill- both at the same time is, in my view, even better.8What did people
22、realize after lockdowns according to paragraph 1?AThe importance of travelling.BThe harm from the pandemic.CThe need for more online purchases.DThe difficulty with holiday protection.9Which of the following illustrates the authors basic criteria for a holiday?AA warm climate and beaches.BSome qualit
23、y time with family.CSome adventurous travel plans.DA five-star hotel and fine dining.10What is paragraph 4 mainly about?AThe benefit the author obtained from travelling.BThe source of the authors stress during office hours.CThe change of the authors attitude to taking holidays.DThe reason why the au
24、thor tried to be a harder worker.11What is the function of the quote in the last paragraph?ATo explain a fact.BTo provide a detail.CTo support a point.DTo offer a suggestion.二、阅读理解For the first time, scientists have measured what actually happens with face-to-face interactions when employees start t
25、o work at an open-plan office, and their results show these modern workspaces are not as cooperative as youd think.Two researchers from Harvard Business School and Harvard University wanted to test whether removing walls at a real-world workplace really increases interactions between co-workers. “To
26、 our knowledge, no prior study has directly measured the effect on actual interaction that results from removing walls to create an open office environment,” Ethan S. Bernstein and Stephen Turban write in the paper. To that end, they approached two multinational companies that were re-organizing the
27、ir office spaces at the global headquarters, and enlisted small groups of employees for two studies.For eight weeks before the office redesign and eight weeks afterward, the researchers tracked employees social interactions and locations. This data was analyzed together with email and instant messag
28、ing information from the companys servers to measure differences in how people were communicating with each other.What they found was a pretty astonishing difference in face-to-face interactions but not in the direction you might think. Across both experiments, employees social interactions in perso
29、n decreased by a crazy 70 percent, while emails saw an uptick by roughly 20 to 50 percent.So, instead of spending more time cooperating with co-workers in the new space where everyone could see them, people got their heads down and tried to preserve their privacy any way they could. According to the
30、se results, it appears that being forced into a more open-plan environment can make people switch from chatting to others in person to sending an email or using instant messaging instead.As the team notes, its not automatically a bad thing, but it can certainly change work dynamics in an unexpected
31、way. “That can have important consequences for how and how productively work gets done,” the researchers conclude.12How did the two multinational companies redesign their offices?ABy expanding the total floor areas.BBy updating the computer servers.CBy changing the employees locations.DBy tearing do
32、wn the space boundaries.13Why did the employees prefer email or instant messaging in an open office space?ATo reduce the risk of privacy leaks.BTo establish efficient communication.CTo facilitate indirect social interaction.DTo transform traditional work patterns.14What can be inferred from the rese
33、archers saying in the last paragraph?AFurther relevant research needs conducting.BTheir research findings are of practical value.CTheir team intends to change working environment.DPeople hold different opinions on how work gets done.15What is the main idea of the text?AReal-world workplaces increase
34、 employees interaction.BWork dynamics dont have much effect on work efficiency.CModern workspaces change workers way of communication.DOpen-plan offices cant promote cooperation between co-workers.三、未知Hildes father was a reporter.
