Alaska Americas coolest state: Low summer temperatures make Alaska a great place to beat the heat. - 4 - The scenery is a wonderful draw, too. There are whales, wolves and bears, glaciers, forest, and snowcapped peaks that ha
13、ve rarely been climbed. As Americas “Last Frontier“, it boasts more real wilderness covered with huge national parks and preserves, as well as the largest and most remote state park in the United States. Backpack camping and mountaineering count among the many outdoor adventures here. Patagonia (Chi
14、le) Located at the opposite end of the Western Hemisphere, the Patagonian region of southern Chile and Argentina offers many of the same attractions as Alaska: glaciers, fjords, copious wildlife and snowy peaks protected within the limits of multiple national parks. There are several great ways that
15、 independent travelers can explore the region. You can cruise the long and winding Carretera Austral, a one-way journey of more than 1,200 kilometers (770 miles) with 10 national parks along the way. The Pyrenees (France and Spain) The Alps get all the credit for being Europes greatest mountains. An
16、d with Mont Blanc, they certainly have the highest peak in the west of the continent. But when it comes to pure wilderness escape-and long-distance backpack camping-nothing beats the Pyrenees that cross the border region of France and Spain. The classic route is a trek which passes from one country
17、into another via the spectacular Breche de Roland, a mountain pass named for the medieval knight(中世纪骑士). Lapland (Finland, Norway and Sweden) Home to the nomadic(游牧的)Smi people and their reindeer herds for around 3, 500 years, the northern reaches of Finland, Norway and Sweden embrace Europes single

21、light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her car window. “Hey!“ she shouted. “Im driving around giving free haircuts. If I go grab my chair, do you want one right now?“ “No problem“ he said. “Ill be right back.“ Steller said. She drove off, went to the salon she ow
22、ns, and loaded a red chair into her car. Then she drove back. The man, named Edward, took a seat, and she cut his curly graying hair. After Steller was done, Edward looked in a mirror. “I look good!“ he said. To date, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. These clients
23、are all living on the margins, and she is fully aware of the power of her cleanup job. “Its more than a haircut,“ she says. “I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships.“ Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. One chang
24、ed hers: as a teen, she suffered from a disease called ulcerative colitis(溃疡性结肠炎)that was so severe and her hair thinned suddenly. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Stellers first professional haircut. “To sit down and have somebody talk to me like a person, it helped me feel cared about.“ she sa
25、ys. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way shed felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project. Steller listens to peoples stories of loss, addiction, and struggle to get
26、back on their feet. The attention apparently works. When she was cutting a womans hair one day, someone drove by and yelled, “You look amazing!“ The woman in the chair smiled very happily. “Im not unnoticed,“ she exclaimed. “Look, people see me!“ “The way you show up in the world matters,“ says Stel

29、uccessful Salon Owner. C. The Power of Free Cuts. D. The Change of Life. C As the cost of a university education continues to balloon, many wonder whether the return on the investment(投资)is worth it and if there might be alternative paths to job success. Enter micro-credentials(微证书). Simon Nelson, C
30、EO of FutureLearn, a UK-based learning platform that partners with universities to provide massive open online courses (MOOCs), believes that micro-credentials arose out of three global “macro trends“. One is the rapidly-growing demand for high-quality higher education in developing societies, while
31、 the second is the digital transformation that has taken place in many industries. This change is “broadening the traditional skills gap“, says Nelson, and universities arent providing the training for the “range of new skills that are in high demand“. The third aspect is the digitization of the hig
32、her education sector, he adds. Its no longer enough to obtain a degree; having a job now requires people to upskill continuously, yet “people cant take the time out of their lives to attend physical establishments“. Many individuals already use micro-credentials to broaden their skillsets. Still, so
33、me have suggested that in the future, a potential employee might be able to combine these credentials together in place of a university degree. The idea is that it would be more accessible and provide a more affordable-perhaps more targeted-path into employment. But according to research conducted i
34、n 2018 by Sean Gallagher, the founder and executive director of Northeastern Universitys Center for the Future of Higher Education and Talent Strategy, that doesnt mean university degrees dont have significant value. When he surveyed 750 human resource leaders in US companies across various industri
35、es, Gallagher found that many of the applicants were degree-holders who had obtained micro-credentials to add their main qualification, rather than accumulating certificates as an alternative. - 7 - For employers to buy into micro-credentials as an alternative, there needs to be data that proves emp
36、loyees with micro-credentials can perform better, or at least just as well as those with university degrees. “That type of data doesnt exist quite yet.“ says Gallagher. 28. What does the underlined word “balloon“ in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Change. B. Increase. C. Fly. D. Shrink. 29. Why did micro-crede
37、ntials come into being? A. To improve higher education. B. To update occupational skills. C. To replace main qualification. D. To decrease working hours. 30. What might be the advantage of micro-credentials? A. Reasonable cost. B. Ambitious target. C. Wide recognition. D. Instant accessibility. 31.
38、What is Sean Gallaghers attitude to the future of micro-credentials? A. Positive. B. Ambiguous. C. Cautious. D. Uninterested. D After United Airlines baggage handlers broke Dave Carrolls $ 3,500 guitar during a 2008 flight, he spent months fruitlessly seeking compensation. Then he created a music vi
39、deo about the experience and posted it on YouTube. “United Breaks Guitars“ soon went viral(疯狂传播), causing the airline to try to improve matters-but the reputational damage had been done. Among the 1.5 million viewers, many “liked“ and shared it along with their similar experiences. “A firestorm can
40、erupt when someone puts up a complaint and other customers follow suit,“ says Dennis Herhausen, a professor at KEDGE Business School. In a recent study, he and his colleagues looked at 472,995 negative comments posted in the Facebook communities of 89 firms. To assess the relationship between a post
41、s author and the rest of the online community, they counted their communications; the higher the number, the stronger the tie and the greater the likelihood that the person served as an influencer. They also measured the language similarity between each post and the communitys overall content. Of th
42、e nearly half a million posts in the study, those that went viral fell into these patterns: posts containing strong emotions were more likely to spread. Strong ties between a posts author and the community drove contagion(传播), as did language similarity. An active member of the community saying “del
43、ete this company“ in language very similar to the rest of the communitys-thats a risky - 8 - situation for the firm. Firms responses, then, mainly included: firms suggested moving the conversation to a private channel, apologized, provided an explanation, expressed empathy(共情), and offered compensat
44、ion. The first two, when communicated right away, generally lowered virality. Offering to compensate an unhappy customer immediately had the opposite effect. In general, early expressions of empathy were more effective than explanations. Yet, if customers are extremely upset, an empathetic reply may
45、 feed their dissatisfaction, while a rational, fact-based explanation often helps cool them down. Theres no one-size-fits-all approach to online complaints, and as a firestorm develops, a company should take care to limit permanent damage to a companys reputation and fortunes with appropriate handli

Signs to identify potential firestorms. B. Conflicts between firms and customers. C. Things that bond a commu

Favor explanations over empathetic replies. C. Value customers interests above all else. D. Vary the strategy based on
