12、LibrarianBAuthorCVisitorDEngineerGahriela worked for a multinational company as a successful project manager in Brazil. Later she was transferred to manage a team in Sweden. She was excited about her new role but soon realized that managing her new team would be a challenge.Despite their friendlines
13、s, Gabriela didnt feel respected as a leader. Her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings, and when she gave them instructions on how to carry out a task, they would often go about is in their own way without checking with her. When she announced her decisions on the project, they
14、would continue giving their opinions as if it was still up for discussion.What Gabriela was experiencing was a culture shock in expectations. Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede uses the concept of “power distance” to describe how power is distributed (分布) in different cultures. In her previous work e
15、nvironment, Gabriela was used to a high power distance culture where power is respected. In such a culture, leaders make the big decisions and are not often challenged. Her Swedish team, however, were used to working in a low power distance culture where employees often work together with their boss
16、es to find solutions and make decisions. Here, leaders act as coaches who encourage independent thought and expect to be challenged.When Gabriela became aware of the cultural differences between her and her team, she had an open conversation with them about their feelings about her leadership.Please
17、d to be asked for their thoughts, Gabrielas team openly expressed that they were not used to being told what to do. They enjoyed having more room for initiative and creative freedom. When she told her team exactly what she needed them to do, they felt that she didnt trust them to do their job well.W
18、ith a better understanding of the underlying reasons behind each others behaviour, Gabriela was able to make adjustments to her management style. Finally, she effectively motivated her team to achieve their goals.25What problem did Gabriela have with her Swedish team at the beginning?AHer Swedish st

21、o heads are better than one.BWhen in Rome, do as Romans do.CBirds of a feather flock together.DDont judge a book by its cover.Part of a research study, by scientists at McMaster University, which is ongoing into the influence of drinking milk after heavy weightlifting, has observed that milk helps e
22、xercisers burn more fat.The scientists took three groups of young men 18 to 30 years of age, 56 in total, and put them through a strict, five day per week weightlifting program over a 12-week period. Following their workouts, study participants drank either two cups of skim milk, or a soy beverage w
23、ith equal amounts of protein and energy, or a carbohydrate beverage with an equal amount of energy.Upon the studys conclusion, scientists observed that: the milk drinking group had lost nearly twice as much fattwo poundsas those in the carbohydrate beverage group, who lost one pound of fat. Those dr
24、inking soy beverages lost no fat. At the same time, the gain in muscle was much greater among the milk drinkers than either the soy or carbohydrate beverage participants.As published in the first stage of the study, the milk drinking group came out on top in terms of muscle gain with an estimated 40
25、 percent or 2.5 pounds more muscle mass than the soy beverage drinkers. In addition, this group gained 63 percent or 3.3 pounds more muscle mass than the carbohydrate beverage drinkers.I think the evidence is beginning to increase, says Stuart Phillipsthe leader of the study. Milk may be best known
26、for its calcium content in supporting bone health, but our research, and later others, can continually support milks ability to aid in muscle growth and also promote body fat loss. Milk is the ideal post workout drink for recreational exercisers and athletes alike.29How many days did the participant
27、s lift weights in the program?A56 days.B84 days.C60 days.D12 days.30What does the underlined word beverage probably mean?AA kind of medicine.BA sort of drink.CA type of exercise.DA piece of equipment.31According to the passage, we can know that Athe scientists chose people aged 18, 30 and 56 as part
28、icipants of the researchBa soy beverage is a proper choice for losing weight over the long termCpeople who drink milk every day are always healthier and thinner than othersDsoy beverages are better than carbohydrate beverages for exercisers to gain muscle32What does the passage mainly talk about?AWh

We are now able to create things we need ve
30、ry quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food?Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender.Scientists say that itll be quite easy: You
31、 simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food “inks” into the printer. You can also modify the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be savin

There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient.Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphagia (a swallowing disorder). They could program the printer to print softer versions o
33、f their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble swallowing them.However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farmin
34、g or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food: Is it really possible to get the nutrients we need from food-based inks and gels(凝胶)?W
35、hats more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.33Why is the question raised in paragraph 1?ATo ask readers for the
