What would work be like if you had no boss?Imagine you could make all your own decisions and no one told you what to do.

A Swedish software company,Crisp,decided to get rid of their CEO.First,they needed to find out what a CEO actually did.Then they shared those duties among staff and board members,which is exactly what they did.And the employees believes it's been a good change.An employee named Heinrik Kniberg says the company can now act faster,"If you want to get something done,you stand up and start driving that.Workers are also more active and satisfied."And any big decisions are made during the all-member meetings several times a year.

So,if it's working well for Crisp,could this model become more widespread? Online retailer（零售商）Zappos tried out a similar plan but had unpleasant results.Almost a fifth of its staff decided to leave,and CEO Tony Hsieh admitted that "self-management is not for everyone".Mr Houston,founder of file-sharing service Drew Dropbox,says that total freedom doesn't always feel good,because you no longer know what you're supposed to do,what is important and you're bumping up against other people."

Would you like to work somewhere with no boss?

1.Why can the software company Crisp act faster now?

A. Because workers feel more satisfied.

B. Because workers can get things done directly.

2.The passage mainly talks about .

A. whether a company can go without a boss

B. whether workers can work independently

C. whether people can accept a no-boss company

D. whether people can enjoy total freedom

3.What's the author's attitude towards the no-boss model?

How can you help kids cope with(應(yīng)對(duì)) stress? Proper rest and good nutrition can boost coping skills, as can good parenting. Make time for your kids each day. Whether they need to talk or just be in the same room with you, make yourself available.

Even as kids get older, quality time is important. It’s really hard for some people to come home after work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day--especially if they've had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in your kids shows that they’re important to you.

Help your children cope with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can come up with a few solutions. For example, they should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time talking with parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal.

You can also help by predicting stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For example, let a child know ahead of time ( but not too far ahead of time) that a doctor’s appointment is coming up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably won't need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more stress.

Remember that some level of stress is normal; let kids know that it’s okay to feel angry, scared, lonely, or anxious and that other people share those feelings.

When kids can’t or won’t discuss these issues, try talking about your own concerns. This shows that you’re willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with them when they’re ready. If a child shows symptoms that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor or other mental health experts.

Most parents have the skills to deal with their kids’ stress. The time to seek professional attention is when any change in behavior persists, when stress is causing serious anxiety on when the behavior is causing significant problems in functioning at school or at home.

1.What is the purpose of the text?

A. To share the author' s ideas on proper parenting.

B. To persuade parents to spend more time with kids.

C. To advise parents how to help kids deal with stress.

D. To seek different ways to help solve kids' problems.

2.What makes it difficult for parents to spare kids quality time?

A. Kids growing so fast.

B. Parents being tired out.

C. Kids losing interest in parents.

D. There being too much homework.

3.You are advised not to talk too much about a stressful situation in advance because .

A. it does no good to your kids

B. it doesn’t work in practice

C. your kids may lose interest

D. your kids don’t want to listen

4.What can we learn from Paragraph 5 ?

A. Normal people share the same feelings.

B. It is normal for kids to have some stress.

C. Kids should get rid of negative feelings.

D. Everybody feels angry, scared, lonely or anxious.

The town of Green Bank, West Virginia, is the site of the largest radio telescope in the world, so Internet connections and anything else that can create electromagnetic(電磁的) waves, such as smart phones and microwave ovens, are banned.

Green Bank is frozen in time, somewhere in the 1950s, because there’s a 33,000-square-kilometer zone of silence due to the telescope. Cell phone towers are forbidden.

The closer you get to the telescope, the greater the restrictions. There’s a 16-kilometer radius(半徑) around the observatory where radio-controlled items, even toys, cannot be used.

Telescope employees even work in a special room that blocks electromagnetic waves from leaving it. “Here imagine a submarine(潛艇), water cannot get inside, and so this room is an electric submarine. No electromagnetic waves can get into this room, just as you can’t go beyond it,” Michael Holstein, an observatory officer, said.

The size of a football field, the telescope is so sensitive that it could pick up signals sent from an alien world. And scientists can’t wait for that to happen.

“All the signals that we now receive with the help of telescopes are signals that come from cosmic objects — stars, galaxies. We have not yet received anything from intelligent civilizations,” scientist Richard Lynch said.

Local people respect the work of the scientists. “Yes, we are different. Many would say that we live the old-fashioned way, in the past. But for us, it’s just the way of life that we have always lived,” Sherry said.

“When we want to meet friends, we just call each other on a wire phone. And instead of sitting in front of your screen, we talk, we go fishing, to the mountains,” resident Sherry said.

For the latest news, residents read the weekly local newspaper. When she’s looking for a phone number, Sherry reaches for the phone book.

And instead of Facebook, Sherry enjoys daily conversations with her customers. In this town, everyone knows each other and communication is face to face.

1.Why do people in Green Bank live an old-fashioned life?

A. The town is economically less developed.

B. Electronic products will affect the radio telescope.

C. They have got used to it and don’t want to change.

D. The radio telescope stops electronic products working properly.

2.What can we learn about the radio telescope?

A. It was set up about in the 1950s.

B. It is in a room without electromagnet.

C. It is 16-kilometer in radius.

D. It has picked up signals from aliens.

3.How do the local people feel about their life?

A. Inspired. B. Unhappy.

C. Content. D. Worried.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A. High tech with traditional life at Green Bank

B. Radio telescope to receive alien signals

C. The largest radio telescope in the world

D. Old-fashioned life at Green Bank
