When I re-entered the full-time workforce a few years ago after a decade of solitary self-employment, there was one thing I was looking forward to the most: the opportunity to have work friends once again. It wasn"t until I entered the corporate world that I realized, for me at least, being friends with colleagues didn"t emerge as a priority at all. This is surprising when you consider the prevailing emphasis by scholars and trainers and managers on the importance of cultivating close interpersonal relationships at work. So much research has explored the way in which collegial (同事的)ties can help overcome a range of workplace issues affecting productivity and the quality of work output such as team-based conflict, jealousy, undermining, anger, and more.Perhaps my expectations of lunches, water-cooler gossip and caring, deep-and-meaningful conversations were a legacy of the last time I was in that kind of office environment. Whereas now, as I near the end of my fourth decade, I realize work can be fully functional and entirely fulfilling without needing to be best mates with the people sitting next to you.In an academic analysis just published in the profoundly-respected Journal of Management, researchers have looked at the concept of "indifferent relationships". It"s a simple term that encapsulates (概括) the fact that relationships at work can reasonably be non-intimate, inconsequential, unimportant and even, dare I say it, disposable or substitutable.Indifferent relationships are neither positive nor negative. The limited research conducted thus far indicates they"re especially dominant among those who value independence over cooperation, and harmony over confrontation. Indifference is also the preferred option among those who are socially lazy. Maintaining relationships over the long term takes effort. For some of us, too much effort .As noted above, indifferent relationships may not always be the most helpful approach in resolving some of the issues that pop up at work. But there are nonetheless several empirically proven benefits. One of those is efficiency. Less time chatting and socializing means more time working and(产出).The other is self-esteem. As human beings, we"re primed to compare ourselves to each other in what is an anxiety-inducing phenomenon. Apparently, we look down on acquaintances more so than Mends. Since the former is most common among those inclined towards indifferent relationships, their predominance can bolster individuals" sense of self-worth.Ego aside, a third advantage is that the emotional neutrality of indifferent relationships has been found to enhance critical evaluation, to strengthen one"s focus on task resolution, and to gain greater access to valuable information. None of that might be as fun as after-work socializing but, hey, I"ll take it anyway.46. What did the author realize when he re-entered the corporate world?A) Making new Mends with his workmates was not as easy as he had anticipated.B) Cultivating positive interpersonal relationships helped him expel solitary feelings.C) Working in the corporate world requires more interpersonal skills than self-employment.D) Building close relationships with his colleagues was not as important as he had ejected.47. What do we learn from many studies about collegial relationships?A) Inharmonious relationships have an adverse effect on productivity.B) Harmonious relationships are what many companies aim to cultivate.C) Close collegial relationships contribute very little to product quality.D) Conflicting relationships in the workplace exist almost everywhere.48. What can be inferred about relationships at work from an academic analysis?A) They should be cultivated.B) They are virtually irrelevant.C) They are vital to corporate culture.D) They should be reasonably intimate.49. What does the author say about people who are socially lazy?A) They feel uncomfortable when engaging in social interactions.B) They often find themselves in confrontation with their colleagues.C) They are unwilling to make efforts to maintain workplace relationships.D) They lack basic communication skills in dealing with interpersonal issues.60. What is one of the benefits of indifferent relationships?A) They provide fun at work.B) They help control emotions.C) They help resolve differences.D) They improve work efficiency.

Children are delight. They are our future. But sadly, hiring someone to take care of them while you go to work is getting more expensive by the year. Earlier this month, it was reported that the cost of enrolling an infant or small kid at a childcare center rose 3% in 2012, faster than the overall cost of living. These are now large strips of the country where daycare for an infant costs more than a tenth of the average married couple's income. This is not necessarily a new trend, but it is a somewhat puzzling one. The price of professional childcare has been rising since the 1980s. Yet during that time, pay for professional childcare workers has stood still. Actually caregivers make less today, in real terms, than they did in 1990. Considering that labor costs are responsible for up to 80% of a daycare center's expenses, one would expect flat wages to have meant flat prices. So who's to blame for higher childcare costs? Childcare is a carefully regulated industry. States lay down rules about how many children each employee is allowed to watch over, the space care centers need per child, and other minute details. And the stricter the regulations, the higher the costs. If it has to hire a caregiver for every two children, it can't really achieve any economies of scale on labor to save money when other expenses go up. In Massachusetts, where childcare centers must hire one teacher for every three infants, the price of care averaged more than 16,000 per year. In Mississippi, where centers must hire one teacher for every five infants, the price of care averaged less than 5,000. Unfortunately, I don't have all the daycare-center regulations handy. But I wouldn't be surprised if as the rules have become more elaborate, prices have risen. The tradeoff (交换) might be worth it in some cases; after all, the health and safety of children should probably come before cheap service. But certainly, it doesn't seem to be an accident that some of the cheapest daycare available is in the least regulated South.1 What problem do parents of small kids have to face?A The ever-rising childcare prices.B The budgeting of family expenses.C The balance between work and family.D The selection of a good daycare center.2 What does the author feel puzzled about?A Why the prices of childcare vary greatly from state to state.B Why increased childcare prices have not led to better service.C Why childcare workers' pay has not increased with the rising childcare costs.D Why there is a severe shortage of childcare professionals in a number of states.3 What prevents childcare centers from saving money?A Steady increase in labor costs.B Strict government regulations.C Lack of support from the state.D High administrative expenses.4 Why is the average cost of childcare in Mississippi much lower than in Massachusetts?A The overall quality of services is not as good.B Payments for caregivers there are not as high.C Living expenses there are comparatively low.D Each teacher is allowed to care for more kids.5 What is the author's view on daycare service?A Caregivers should receive regular professional training.B Less elaborate rules about childcare might lower costs.C It is crucial to strike a balance between quality and costs.D It is better for different states to learn from each other.
