I was earning more than most of my friends, living the city life, going out at weekends. I had a good pension (养老金) and annua
15、l leave but it caused a lot of anxiety and worry.I was really unhappy.I wanted to get back to feeling passionate about something so I started thinking about the things I used to love. As a child, Id always been involved in the outdoors, and I used to love hiking but all that had stopped after second
16、ary school. I decided to volunteer with a local youth group and within a month, Id gone camping with them. I absolutely loved it. It was likes witching on a lightbulb. This was what Id been missing.I started taking courses in mountain skills and wilderness first aid, and by August I was working my u
17、sual job in the week, and I was a climbing club leader at weekends. I loved connecting with nature, connecting with other people.Through all this, I learnt about the whole field of nature-based therapies (疗法). It was the perfect fit to combine my psychology background with my passion for the outdoor
18、s. I began taking courses in wild therapy, forest bathing and ecopsychology. I left my government job and in July 2020 I launched my business Nature Therapy Ireland, which is booming now.Id thought Id always live in a city but last year, I moved to Tipperary to live at the foot of a mountain, surrou
19、nded by nature. If Im feeling stressed, I can step outside in my bare feet and stand on the grass to ground myself. In Dublin, the front door felt like a barrierI had to have my keys, my phone, my jacket before I could even go out and find a green space. My life now is leading nature connection hike

23、ay in their jobs but mentally take a step backfor example, working the bare minimum and not making their job the center of their lives. Now in 2023, there is a new workplace trend on the horizon, called “quiet hiring”.Quiet hiring is a strategy used to fill the critical gaps in a company without hir
24、ing new employees. One company has a limited amount of talent and needs to make a call about where its going to have the best impact. This year it may need to add five more data scientists to its team to meet the strategic goals. As a solution, it may move five employees from another department only
25、 for a short time, like data analysts in the human resources and marketing department, into the five open data scientist roles.In this case, the boss is saying, “Were going to intentionally deprioritize (降低) support for HR and marketing for the next six months so that we can increase the productivit
26、y of our data science team, and we are saying this clearly. Everyone knows this.” The important distinction with quiet hiring is that a company is openly communicating with employees about its priorities and moving employees to areas that serve those priorities, instead of just loading employees wit
27、h more work or simply hiring more people.While being assigned to a new role may seem scary, quiet hiring should be beneficial to employees. If you were asked to take on additional responsibilities, it would indicate your value. Meantime you might say, “If its not possible to increase my payment, can
28、 we make it so that I can work from home five days a week，reducing my commute (通勤) costs? Or，could I work flexible hours, making it easier for me to live the rest of my life?” An individual conversation may be ineffective. If youre part of a department or team being asked to switch roles, employ tha
29、t power and approach human resources as a group.28What does the strategy of quiet hiring refer to?AMoving existing staff to new posts.BAdding more positions.CEmploying new talents secretly.DTraining new employees.29What is the feature of a companys handling quiet hiring?AInnovations are highly value
30、d.BEmployees are burdened with extra work.CEmployees shifts are announced beforehand.DRoles of departments are changed regularly.30What suggestion does the author offer to employees?ABalance between work and life.BTake on new roles as a team.CShoulder more duties on work.DNegotiate on extra jobs.31W
31、hich is a suitable title for the text?AHiring more or less?BQuiet hiring: An upcoming tendencyCQuiet hiring: A workplace debateDQuiet quitting or quiet hiring?On September 26, 2022, NASA successfully completed its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission by intentionally crashing an unmanned
32、spacecraft into the asteroid (小行星) Dimorphos. The goal was not to destroy the asteroid but to change its orbit. With the successful mission, NASA proved the concept that this technique could keep a potentially dangerous asteroid from crashing into Earth in the future. Dimorphos is a small asteroid o
33、rbiting the larger asteroid Didymos. NASA noted that Dimorphos is not a threat to Earth, but because it passes relatively close to Earth, it was chosen as the target for the test mission. Although the intended crash should change the asteroids position slightly, it will add to a major shift over tim
34、e. “If you were going to do this for planetary (行星的) defense, you would do it 5, 10, 15, or 20 years in advance for this technique to work,” said NASA program executive Andrea Riley. “This is why we test. We want to do it now rather than when theres an actual need.” Asteroids can pose a significant
35、threat to planet Earth. For example, around 66 million years ago, an asteroid around 6 to 9 miles across struck the Earth in what is now the Yucatan Peninsula. The resulting impact was so catastrophic (灾难性的) that it caused one of the largest extinction events in Earths history. Therefore, DARTs succ
36、ess is an important step forward in protecting the planet from potential damage from an asteroid. This shows humans are no longer powerless to prevent this type of natural disaster. The DART spacecraft was launched by NASA on November 24, 2021. It was accompanied by another craft called LICIA Cube,
37、supplied by the Italian Space Agency, and separated from DART just 15 days before the crash. LICIA Cube remained in orbit around the asteroid and took photographs of the crash and material ejected (弹出) from the asteroids surface.32What is the purpose of the DART mission?ATo destroy Dimorphos complet
38、ely.BTo change the orbit of Dimorphos.CTo track potentially dangerous asteroids.DTo stop Dimorphos from hitting the Earth.33Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 4?ATo prove the significance of DARTs success.BTo present the cause of the largest extinction event in history.CTo show the
39、 necessity of conducting research on natural disasters.DTo explain the difficulty of protecting the Earth from asteroid strikes.34What is LICIA Cube intended for?ACollecting rock samples from Dimorphoss surface.BIncreasing the force of crashing the DART.CProviding additional energy for the DART spac
40、ecraft.DKeeping track of the crash test with some photos.35Which of the following can describe the test according to Andrea Riley?ABark up the wrong tree.BRob Peter to pay Paul.CPrepare for a rainy day.DBetter late than never.五、七选五For people who are planning a trip, a visit to a museum might not be

44、g activities, interactive and knowledge-based. Museums support tourism. They are tourism promoters in small towns and large cities.
