• 2．I was invited to give a speech at an educators' conference.I happened to sit next to Clay Parker，the CEO of a technology company that makes micro electronics devices.
     For the last few years，I'd been reading about the rapidly changing world of work and was increasingly concerned that students are not prepared for today's workplace.Buried in book knowledge，university students talk like a book and always pass exams with flying colours.However，when facing HR staff instead of their teachers，what they have learned seems useless.So I asked Parker what qualities he most wanted in a potential new employee.I expected a list of technical skills — especially since Parker is an engineer himself— but I was way off the mark.
     "First，I look for someone who asks good questions，" Parker responded. "Our business is changing，and so are the skills of our engineers.We can teach them the technical stuff.But for employees willing to solve problems or to learn new things，they have to know what questions to ask.And we can't teach them how to ask good questions — how to think.The ability to ask the right questions reflects good thinking ability，the most important quality."
     Indeed，the ability to ask good questions has been a repeated theme in almost all of my conversations about core competences and skills for success in today's workplace.It turns out that asking good questions goes hand in hand with problem solving ability in the minds of most employers.
     The students have always been brought up to live up to a certain standard and so much emphasis has been put on fixed rules and giving the expected answer of their teachers instead of raising a question.We teachers are always blaming the students for giving wrong answers.Perhaps we should ask ourselves whether we are always asking the right questions.
  
  （1）Why did the author ask Parker the question？

  
  A．To bring the CEO's attention to education.
  B．To collect information about his company.
  C．To ask for his opinion about the conference.
  D．To know his requirements for new employees.
  （2）What does underlined "off the mark" in paragraph 2 mean？

  
  A．Mistaken.
  B．Not qualified.
  C．Confused.
  D．Not professional.
  （3）What does Parker value his employees for？

  
  A．Teamwork.
  B．Thinking ability.
  C．Technical skills.
  D．Professional knowledge.
  （4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．How to Hunt for a Job
  B．Asking Questions Matters
  C．An Encounter with a CEO
  D．Problem-solving Makes a Difference

• 3．Ant Forest，a green initiative by the world's leading payment and lifestyle platform Alipay，received the "U.N.Champions of the Earth" award，the UN's highest environmental honor.It was given to Ant Forest for motivating half a billion people to adopt an eco-friendly and greener lifestyle，greatly contributing to ecological protection with the help of digital technology.
     Alipay achieved this by inspiring its users to do environmentally-friendly things，such as walking，using public transportation，going paperless in the office and more to earn "green energy points".These points can then be used to water and grow their own virtual young trees.After the virtual young trees have grown up on line，Ant Forest will plant real trees somewhere in China.
     The number of Ant Forest users has reached 350 million，reducing 3 million tons of carbon dioxide. "Such programs are quite attractive to me.I feel satisfied to see a real tree planted just by doing some simple things such as riding bicycles and buying tickets online，" said an interviewee.
     This initiative of Ant Forest is in line with the Chinese government's strategy of a "Green Economy".The country is taking aggressive actions in expanding its green coverage.Now，its efforts are paying off，with improved biodiversity and a healthier economic growth.Rare animal species have been spotted and forest parks are now popular attractions of tourism.
     The planet is at a critical point which could result in natural disasters.It seems clear that unless governments，businesses and people form a focused team，it's difficult to stop global warming.Fortunately，Ant Forest shows that it is possible to make joint efforts while relying on digital technology.And more initiatives are using technology to contribute to a sustainable future of the planet.
  
  （1）What was Ant Forest given the award for？

  
  A．It brings convenience to people's lives.
  B．It is run by the world's leading payment platform.
