It’s 13:30 and 28-year-old Marten Pella 's smart phone starts pinging, a signal that it’s time for us to stop working around his living room table and instead start our workout routine together. A cartoon character wearing bright red shorts on video begins instructing us to do star-jumps and sit-ups around his apartment.
Pella, a research assistant at Stockholm University, is part of the Hoffice movement, which invites workers-freelancers（自由职业者）or full-time employees who can do their jobs remotely—to work at each other’s homes to increase productivity and enjoy an active social life.
Those attending Hoffice events advertised on Facebook are typically asked to work silently in 45-minute blocks, before taking short breaks together to exercise, or simply chatting over a coffee. In addition, each participant shares daily objectives with the rest of the group upon arrival, and is invited to report back on whether or not they have achieved them at the end of the day.
“Often when I am alone, I can work focused for a couple of hours but then I’m easily distracted（分心）.The help of others makes me so much more disciplined.” says Pella, who attends Hoffice events as both a guest and a host. Lunches mean networking and connecting with new contacts. “People are coming from really different areas and have different professions so there can be really interesting discussions,” he says.
The Hoffice movement has grown quickly since it was founded in 2014 by Swedish psychologist Christofer Franzen, now 37. He had been giving lectures on the benefits of collective（集体的）intelligence, but realised he was spending most of his own time working alone at his kitchen table. “I wanted to test more structured home co-working with friends in similar situations,” he says.
Franzen says that holding events in houses and apartments creates a unique atmosphere, because there’s a sense of community and desire to contribute. He’s looking for ways to expand the social value of Hoffice, by matching up members with relevant skills to share and even encouraging jobseekers to join its gatherings.
4. Where is Pella when his smart phone starts pinging?
A. In his own home.
B. In his office.
C. In another person’s home.
D. At Stockholm University.
5. What do people attending Hoffice events do first when they meet?
A. Watch an exercise video.
B. Work silently for 45 minutes.
C. Tell each other their daily plans.
D. Report what they have achieved.
6. What does Franzen really mean by saying “friends in similar situations”?
A. They usually work alone.
B. They often give lectures.
C. They study collective intelligence.
D. They have to work at a kitchen table.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Sharing Comfortable Workplaces
B. A New Way to Make New Friends
C. Benefits of Collective Intelligence
D. Working from Others’ Homes
C
Most kids can walk into a library or bookstore and find hundreds of books to read. But it’s not that simple for kids who are blind. They read in a different way. Jenny Lee and other braille (盲文) transcribers take the printed words of a book and change them into a code of raised dots. Blind people can read these dots with their fingers. To know what braille feels like, take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper. Now turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point.
When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet, she wondered if she’d ever be able to read and write them easily. She took a class and practised hard for about six months before she passed the final exam: she had to convert 35 pages of a book into braille. Today, Lee works for a publisher. One of her jobs is to change children’s books into braille.
To do this, Lee first types the story into a computer and then uses a computer program to translate it into the braille code. Next, she looks over the translation several times to make sure it’s mistake-free. After that, a copy of the braille story is printed with a special printer. Then Lee and a proofreader work together to find and correct any mistakes. When a book is ready, many copies of it are printed. Afterwards, some are sold through websites and others are sent to libraries.
Sometimes, going over a story again and again gets tiring. That’s when Lee takes a break. Several of Jenny
Lee’s co-workers, who are blind, use guide dogs. When the animals aren’t working, Lee likes spending a few minutes with them. To her, playing with dogs “is always apick-me-upin the middle of the day”.
“I love this mission,” Lee says. “Through my brain power and my fingers, I am putting the dots into some kid’s hands.”
8. How does the writer explain what braille feels like?
A. By explaining what braille words look like.
B. By describing how blind people read books.
C. By asking readers to experience it themselves.
D. By giving examples of different braille words.
9. What was Lee’s first reaction to braille?
A. She was excited to get a new skill.
B. She was amazed at the clever idea.
C. She realized she could teach it herself.
D. She believed it would be difficult to learn.
10. What does the underlined word “pick-me-up” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A A discussion to release work stress.
B. Something to improve one’s appetite.
C. Something to help restore one’s spirit.
D. A free ride accompanied with a guide dog.
11. What does Lee think of her job?
A. Profitable and hopeful.
B. Tiring but meaningful.
C. Relaxing and helpful.
D. Boring but challenging.
D
Do you ever listen to the songs that your parents like? Chances are that you don’t. You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are muchcooler. But scientists found that people’s music taste changes as time goes by. So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents’, whether you like it or not.
We used to think that culture and personality (个性) are the only reasons for different music choices. But researchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter into different age groups, their social environment changes, and so does their music taste. There are some musical periods that people go through in
their life.
The first period comes in the teenage years, during which people like strong music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent.
But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyles change they want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become fonder of contemporary music, such as pop and R&.B, which is usually uplifting and danceable.
When middle age comes, most people have settled down. During this period, people prefer music, such as jazz and classical, as well as music like country, folk and blues.
As for old people, they prefer old songs in their childhoods. They generally listen to relaxing music, such as country music and jazz music. But you must be questioning. “Aren’t there old people who are still interested in or even crazy about rock music?” Of course there are. But their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. At that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youth.
12. What do young people usually think of the songs their parents enjoy?
A. They are actually less cool.
B. They are worth listening to.
C. They are especially serious.
D. They are hard to understand.
13. How many musical periods are there that people go through in their life?
A. Two.
B. Three.
C. Four.
D. Five.
14. People who want to make friends mostly prefer ________.
A. jazz music
B. country music
C. rock music
D. pop music
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. People Have Different Opinions on Music
B. People Listen to Music for the Same Reason
C. People’s Taste in Music Changes with Time
D. People’s Lifestyle Can Be Changed by Music
