In today's world,most workers are highly specialized,but this specialization can come at a cost -especially for those on the wrong team.New research by Harvard's Growth Lab uncovers the importance of teams and coworkers when it comes to one's productivity,earning potential,and stays of employment.The research analyzed administrative data on the 9 million inhabitants of Sweden.It found that to earn high wages and returns on education,workers must find coworkers who complement(補(bǔ)足),but not substitute them.
 The research offers a tool to assess the right and wrong coworkers in fields of expertise.The right coworkers are those with skills you lack,yet needed to complete a team.The wrong coworkers are those who have the same skill set as you and eventually lower your value to the employer.For example,those with a degree in architecture are best assisted by workers with engineering,construction,or surveying degrees,and negatively impacted by those with landscape or interior design degrees.
   "We tend to think of skills as something personal that individuals can market to a company, " said Frank Neffke,Growth Lab Research Director, "However,this vision of skills is too simplistic.One person's skills connect to another person's skills,etc.,and the better these connections are,the more productive workers will be,and the more they will earn." Neffke adds that the benefits of working with complementary coworkers are not the same for all workers.Those with higher levels of education seem to benefit much more from working in complementary teams than workers with lower levels.Over the past 20 years,workers with college degrees or higher have been increasingly able to find better matching coworkers.
 Complementary also drives careers.The research shows that people tend to stay longer in organizations with many complementary workers and tend to leave those with many workers who substitute them.These results hold true for up to 20 years of one's career.
 The research also supports several well-known facts,such as cities and large firms pay higher wages.Workers are more likely to find better fitting teams in cities,and large firms often allow workers to specialize.

  • 1."An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Similarly,if we drink a little more water every day,we may find that we need to go to the doctor less often.A healthy diet is made up of water and different kinds of foods.We know that healthy foods like fruits,vegetables and fish ,are important as they offer energy and fiber,without giving us much fat and sugar.But why is water important?
       The human body needs water to survive.Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies.However,doctors advise us to drink plenty of water ,much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.
       Some doctors believe that water is important for health in all kinds of ways.They believe that many illnesses and health problems appear as a result of dehydration--a lack of water.Most people are dehydrated (脫水)at least some of time,although they probably don't know it.It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty,we are already in the first stages of dehydration.In fact,we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.
       These doctors think that health problems such as headaches,high blood pressure could be helped if people drink more water.They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are fat.Water contains no calories so it will not make us gain weight.If we drink water ,we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks.Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating.They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are,in fact,thirsty.Doctors suggest,therefore,that we eat less food and drink more water.
       There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water,so we should not stop going to see the doctor completely.

  • 3.    Popular destinations have seen an increase in incidents involving tourists in recent years.Reports of a man damaging the Colosseum in Rome (羅馬圓形大劇場(chǎng)) show that behavior has worsened even in places that rarely had problems in the past.
        What's behind these acts?One answer is social media.Instagram and TikTok have made it easy to find"hidden diamond"restaurants and discover new destinations to add to your travel list.But this way of travel planning has had other consequences.
        It is known as social proof when we look to the behaviors of others to justify our own actions.Now,travelers also look to social media for proof of how others behave while they go pleasure-seeking on vacations.If others are throwing caution to the wind while on vacation,this can cause a domino(多米諾) effect of bad behavior.
        Besides,because tourists are often sheltered in hotels away from local communities,they might wrongly think that traveling to a place far from home is an opportunity for consequence-free bad behavior.They underestimate or ignore the effect their actions can have on local communities.
        In response to tourist misbehavior,the island of Bali,a famous tourist destination in Indonesia,introduced new guidelines for visitors in June 2023.These include rules about proper behavior in the protected temples,around the island and with locals,and respecting the natural environment.
        Tourists now need a license to rent motorbikes,and can not set foot on any mountain or volcano in Bali due to the nature-protection laws.Besides,travelers must only stay in registered hotels,which will impact a number of Airbnb properties.
        Other destinations have taken similar steps.Iceland,Hawaii,and Costa Rica have required visitors to obey local laws and custom.Where such efforts aren't successful,some places such as Thailand's famous Maya Bay have taken it further and fully closed to tourists,at least temporarily.

    (1)What is a reason behind what tourists have done in recent years?

    A.They misjudge the results.
    B.They needn't obey the rules.
    C.They're misled by the locals.
    D.They can't accept the custom.
    (2)What does"throwing caution to the wind"in paragraph 3 mean?

    A.Acting immediately.
    B.Exploring bravely.
    C.Wandering aimlessly.
    D.Behaving wildly.
    (3)What can tourists do in Bali from June 2023 on?

    A.Visit a temple with respect.
    B.Climb up the volcano.
    C.Rent motorbikes as wished.
    D.Stay in an Airbnb house.
    (4)Why do the tourist destinations take measures against the tourists?

    A.To reduce the influence of social media.
    B.To set a limit on the number of visitors.
    C.To restrict tourists' improper behavior.
    D.To prevent tourists from being injured.
