As the United States becomes more racially and ethnically diverse, and as companies from Wall Street to Silicon Valley grapple with how to build workforces that reflect these changing demographics, Americans have a complicated, even contradictory, set of views about the impact of diversity and the best way to achieve it. Most say it’s a good thing that the country has a diverse population, but many also say this introduces its own set of challenges. And while a majority values workplace diversity, few endorse the idea of taking race or ethnicity into consideration in hiring and promotions, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. When it comes to diversity in the communities where they live, most U.S. adults (66%) - including a majority of those who live in neighborhoods with little diversity - are satisfied with the racial mix in their area. A majority (54%) says children should go to local schools, even if that results in most schools being less diverse. Fewer (42%) say children should go to schools that are racially and ethnically mixed, even if that means some students go to school outside of their local community. Overall, white, black and Hispanic adults are about equally likely to say it’s good that the U.S. population is racially and ethnically mixed, and majorities across these groups say this has had a positive impact on U.S. culture. But black Americans place more value than whites and Hispanics on workplace diversity and school integration. Opinions on these issues also vary considerably along party lines, with Democrats and those who lean to the Democratic Party more likely than Republicans and Republican leaners to express positive views of the importance and impact of racial and ethnic diversity. This is the case even after taking into account the differences in the racial composition of the two parties. These are among the key findings on views about diversity from a nationally representative survey of 6,637 U.S. adults conducted online Jan. 22-Feb. 5, 2019, in English and Spanish, using Pew Research Center’s American Trends Panel. (Adapted from sups://www.pew.socialinends.org/) Question 34. Which is the most suitable title for the passage? A. Advantages and Challenges in Americans Growing Racial and Ethnic Diversity B. Diversity in the Communities Where most U.S. Adults Live . C. Opinions on Growing Racial and Ethnic Diversity along Party Lines D. Changing Demographics in Companies from Wall Street to Silicon Valley 3
4. Question 35. According to paragraph 1, what is the problem of companies from Wall Street to Silicon Valley? A. Racially and ethnically diverse workforce in The U.S. B. Challenges in taking race or ethnicity into consideration C. Building workforces that reflect changes in racial and ethnic diversity D. American employees' complicated lifestyle Question 36. The word "those" in paragraph 2 refers to ___. A. U.S. adults B. communities C. neighborhoods D. diversities Question 37. Which statement is TRUE, according to the passage? A. Most U.S. adults are unsatisfied with the racial mix in their area. B. Whites and Hispanics place more value than black Americans on workplace diversity. C. Americans views about the impact of racial and ethnic diversity is unclear. D. Democratic and Republican leaners express the same views of the impact of racial and ethnic diversity. Question 38. The phrase "lean to" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ___. A. mention B. prefer C. process D. pretend Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on you answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. In the study of 15 countries, including the US, UK, Japan, India. Brazil, Argentina, Belgium. Finland, France, Germany. Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands. Spain and Sweden, it was discovered that 41 percent of "highly mobile" employees (those who more often worked from home) considered themselves highly stressed as well, compared to only 25 percent of those who worked only on-site. This news may come as a shock to many people who may consider a work-from-home lifestyle to The one that's less stressful and marked with more personal freedom. Part of this stress experienced by these highly mobile workers may be due to the fact that those who work from home face a host of challenges that are unique to this particular setup. It is true that most people love the flexibility that comes with working from home - getting up and going to sleep at times that are dictated more by one's personal body clock and tastes can be wonderfully liberating. It can also get out of hand and feel stressful, however, to be free from the structure that once felt confining. Likewise with the freedom from dealing with obnoxious co-workers. While most people may enjoy having the freedom to choose who they interact with each day and love to avoid listening to office gossip, complaints, and politics, they may be surprised by the isolation they feel when their interactions aren't automatic and they need to put in an effort to see anyone at all. Many of these factors may balance each other out stress-wise, but the recent UN study suggests that the increased reliance on mobile devices may push the work-from-home crowd over the edge into higher- stress territory. These experiences may come as a surprise to someone who is new to working at home, but they are commonly experienced. They are also common sources of stress. There must be more on these and other denned sources of stress for those who live where they work, have zero commute time, and may not realize that they are not alone in the surprising sources of stress they face. (Adapted from Question 39. Which is the most suitable title for the passage? A. Job and One's Personal Body Clock and Tastes B. Research on Stress and Working from Home C. The Study of Workers in the 15 Countries D. The Recent UN Study of Co-workers in Offices Question 40. The word "liberating" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___.

5. A. Being too liberating at home can make people stressful. B. Many people like working from home since it gives more freedom. C. Working from home has its own particular challenges. D. It's quite easy for those who work from home to see and interact with others. Question 42. The word "obnoxious" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ___. A. naughty B. tactless C. curious D. offensive Question 43. According to the passage, what is one of the factors making work-from-home crowd more stressed? A. moving to the edge of the society B. office gossip, complaints, and politics C. dependence on mobile devices D. difficulty in balancing their personal body clock Question 44. The word "they" in paragraph 4 refers to ___. A. co-workers B. complaints C. most people D. interactions Question 45. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. It is not a shock when coming to the high-stress of work-from-home crowd. B. The stress percentage of work-from-home employees is higher than those working on-site. C. There is the freedom of work-from-home employees from dealing with obnoxious co-workers. D. The reliance on technology at office makes on-site crowd more stressful.

In the study of 15 countries, including the US, UK, Japan, India. Brazil, Argentina, Belgium. Finland, France, Germany. Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands. Spain and Sweden, it was discovered that 41 percent of "highly mobile" employees (those who more often worked from home) considered themselves highly stressed as well, compared to only 25 percent of those who worked only on-site. This news may come as a shock to many people who may consider a work-from-home lifestyle to The one that's less stressful and marked with more personal freedom. Part of this stress experienced by these highly mobile workers may be due to the fact that those who work from home face a host of challenges that are unique to this particular setup. It is true that most people love the flexibility that comes with working from home - getting up and going to sleep at times that are dictated more by one's personal body clock and tastes can be wonderfully liberating. It can also get out of hand and feel stressful, however, to be free from the structure that once felt confining. Likewise with the freedom from dealing with obnoxious co-workers. While most people may enjoy having the freedom to choose who they interact with each day and love to avoid listening to office gossip, complaints, and politics, they may be surprised by the isolation they feel when their interactions aren't automatic and they need to put in an effort to see anyone at all. Many of these factors may balance each other out stress-wise, but the recent UN study suggests that the increased reliance on mobile devices may push the work-from-home crowd over the edge into higher- stress territory. These experiences may come as a surprise to someone who is new to working at home, but they are commonly experienced. They are also common sources of stress. There must be more on these and other denned sources of stress for those who live where they work, have zero commute time, and may not realize that they are not alone in the surprising sources of stress they face.
