1．People have many different ways to relax during break time at work or school.Smartphones are probably the number one choice for a quick mental vacation.
Although it might seem like a good time，looking at your cellphone may damage your mental power，according to a recent psychological study from Rutgers University in the United States.For the study，more than 400 students were asked to finish a set of 20 word puzzles.Halfway through the task，the students were divided into three groups.One group was allowed to take a break and use cellphones to buy things online.The second group was asked to have a rest and buy things using a computer.The last group didn't have a break at all.
Interestingly，the group that used their cellphones during the break went back to work feeling the most tired and least motivated to continue.They also had the hardest time solving the remaining word puzzles.The cellphone group took 19 percent longer to finish the rest of the task，and solved 22 percent fewer problems than those in the other break conditions combined.
Terri Kurtzberg，co-author of the study，explained that they assumed looking at cellphones during a break would be no different from any other break-but instead，the phone may cause increasing levels of distractions （分心） that make it difficult to return focused attention to work tasks. "Cellphones may have this effect because even just seeing your phone activates thoughts of checking messages，connecting with people，access to ever-refilling information and more，in ways that are different from how we use other screens like computers，and laptops，" Kurtzberg told Science Daily.This is echoed（呼应）by a 2017 study from the US University of Chicago.It found that even if cellphones are turned off or turned face down，their mere presence reduces a person's cognitive capability （认知能力）.
So，during your next break，try putting your smartphone away.Go out for a walk，get to know your classmates or even take a nap.You may be surprised by the result!

2．I rescued my little Foxy several years ago.I wasn't looking for her，but she just crawled（爬）up onto my lap and went to sleep，so I took her home.She spent the night with her head on my pillow，and I knew she belonged to me.
I was her person.She didn't really like other dogs or people until I met my wife-to-be.The day Angelika came over to visit for the first time was the last time Foxy was truly my dog.She abandoned me for the love of a tender （温柔的）woman，and who can blame her？I would have done the same.Then Angelika and I got married，and we became a happy family.
The three of us always walk together through our village from the hills to the lake.We get exercise and have fun because Foxy enjoys her walks and strolls（漫步）through the neighborhood like a 10-pound prize pony（小马）.
How sweet and lovely，you say，but there is dark side to the little furball!Foxy is now a one-woman dog - she has totally bonded with my wife and won't go for a walk at all if Angelika is out.She just lies in her bed by the window waiting for her angel to come walk through the door，and I have to tell you，I feel a little rejected.But it is pretty cute.
I understand animal bonding.My therapy dog，Mercy，was with me for over a decade，and we were a total item.In fact，it wasn't until Mercy died that I decided to remarry.That's how much unconditional love she gave me.
Now my wife is getting to experience that kind of bond for the first time.Young or old，big or little，when your dog finds you，it's an amazing experience，and the love you feel just makes your life sweeter.
When you adopt an animal，remember that it's a lifetime commitment.And if your pet falls for your other half，just enjoy watching the love.
（1）What can we know about Foxy？
A．Foxy was always friendly to strangers.
B．Foxy introduced Angelika to me by accident.

3．Both IQ and EQ are considered important to our career success.（1）
Enter adaptability quotient（AQ），a subjective set of qualities loosely defined as the ability to improve in an environment of fast and frequent change.
Every profession will require adaptability and flexibility.Say you are an accountant.Your IQ gets you through the examinations.Your EQ helps your connect with an interviewer，land a job，and develop relationships with clients and colleagues.（2）All three quotients are somewhat complementary（互补的），since they all help you solve problems and therefore adapt.
An ideal candidate possesses all three，but not everyone does.（3）While there is no definite method of measuring adaptability like an IQ test，companies are changing their recruitment（招聘）processes to help identify people who may be high in it.
Natalie Fratto suggests three ways AQ might show in potential candidates：if they can picture possible versions of the future by asking what if questions；if they can unlearn information to challenge conventional wisdom；and if they enjoy exploration or seeking out new experiences.
（4）First，limit distractions and learn to focus so that you can determine what adaptations to make.Second，ask uncomfortable questions to develop courage and normalize fear.Third，be curious about things that fascinate you by having more conversations rather than Googling the ready answer.
Over the next three years，120 million people may need to be reskilled because of automation，according to a 2019 IBM study.We may not all be comfortable with the pace of change-but we can prepare.（5）
A.AQ is now increasingly being sought at the hiring level.
B.One good thing about AQ is that experts say you can work to develop it.
C.The ability to learn，change，grow，experiment will be the key.
D.This is because an algorithm（算法）can do these tasks faster and more accurately than a human.
E.But today，as technology redefines how we work，the skills we need to improve in the job market are developing too.
F.Having IQ but no EQ would leave you struggling to embrace（拥抱）new ways of working using your existing skills.
G.Then，when systems change or aspects of work are automated，you will need AQ to accommodate（适应）this innovation and adapt to new ways of performing your role.组卷：3引用：1难度：0.7
