　　Q1:What do we learn about theJetBlue Airlines

　　came to a stop,according to Brian Healy?

　　NEWS 2

　　A deadly snake,which had finally been tracked downafter escaping a zoo has slipped away for the secondtime.The poisonous snake forced the closure of theattraction last week when staff noticed thedisappearance. fter six /days of desperatesearching,he was eventually found and placed in asupposedly secure area.

　　But,it seems the animal is no fan ofthe zoo,becauseyet again,he is out on the loose.The snake is arelative newcomer to the zo0,but has already beenfrustrating its staff.The staff believe he squeezedhimself out of a gap located around new energysaving bulbs installed inside the snake house.Hewas only found the first time around because staffbrought in a special machine to trace him inside awall opening.

　　This kind of snake is one of the most deadly andpoisonous in the wild,and they can range from 3 to 5meters in length.

　　Q3:What do we learn about the deadly snake fromthe news report?

　　Q4:How have the zoo staff been feeling about thesnake?

　　NEWS 3

　　Electric bikes have been the craze in downtownJacksonville since they were first introduced earlier thismonth as a one-year pilot program,but they're leadingto safety concerns,mainly at night when some ridersdon't follow the rules of the road.As the night goes on,groups of riders are often seen traveling in just aboutevery direction in thestreets and on pedestrian paths.

　　That is increasing the probability of dangerousaccidents.Electric bike riders have to follow all thesame rules as you would if you were in an automobile.

　　That means no running red lights or traveling in theopposite direction of traffic on one way streets.

　　City Council Member Anna Kumber was instrumental inintroducing the electric bikes to Jacksonville as a wayto bringnew life into downtown.And she's aware oftheconcerns.Cumber said,people can have fun,but bothdrivers and riders are responsible for paying attentionwhile on the road.And never assume the driver is goingto stop or see you.

　　Q5:What do we learn from the news report about theintroduction of electricbikes into Jacksonville?

　　Q6:What are electric bike riderssupposed todo?

　　Q7:Why did City Council member Anna Cumberadvocate th introduction of electric bikes intoJacksonville?

　　Passage 1

　　I met three different people today,and each time,when l asked,how are you,thereply was exactly thesame.I'm busy.Honestly,Ihearthe same answer from the vast majority of people I meet.So I started tothink,guess what?Everybody's busy.I'm busy.You'rebusy.Everybody's busy.So you being busy doesn'tmakeme sympathetic atall,because busy is the state of the world.

　　So I'mlaunching acampaign to stop people complaining aboutbeing busy.It may sound harsh,but thetruth is,nobody cares.Ina busy world,being busy doesn't stand out,nor does it meanproductive,creative,accomplished,or professional.SteveMaraboli once said,When someone tells you they are too busy,it's not a reflectionoftheir schedule,it's a reflection of yourspoton their schedule.

　　Donna Lynn Hope has also remarked,Busy doesn't mean better.I have neverenvied a busyperson.The one who likesto point outtheir busylivesto others.The reality is,nobody's too busy.It'sjust aboutpriorities.So the next time someoneasksyou how you

　　are,maybe respond differently.In my experience,the I'm busyresponse is really coveringup the fact that they're not actuallyaccomplishing their real purpose,and being busy is the lie theytell themselves about why they can't achieve it.

　　Q16:Whyis the speaker launchinga campaign?

　　Q17:What does thespeaker advise us to donext time someoneasksus howwe are?

　　Q18:Why do many people make theI'm busy response,according to the speaker?

　　Passage2

　　After all,if you can jump out of a plane or off a bridge,thenyou can face anything else easily.When doing extremesports,you have to become more focused.You'll be pushedto your limits,and ifyou aren't focused,you'll makedangerous mistakes.Learning to be thisfocused when

　　enjoying extreme sportswill help you to be focused at work,keeping you more productive and ultimately moresuccessful.

　　It's greatto stay fit and healthy,but standard exercise

　　routines and sports only work the same muscles repeatedly.With extreme sports,you'll be working entirely differentmuscles.And that means you get an all over workout.Extreme sports also burn a lot more calories than other

　　sports.Skateboarding,for example,can burn as many as 500calories per hour.Basketball burns around 300 in the sametime.

　　When you find that you can overcome the physical or mentalchallenges involved in extremesports,you'll feel

　　superhuman and your selfconfidence will beat an all timehigh.

　　Q19:What may sound strange to say aboutextreme sports?

　　Q20:Why should one be highly focused when doingextremesports?

　　Q21:How can extreme sports benefitus more than standardexercise routines and sports?

　　Passage 3

　　Most ofus have been in teams or organizations where we've hadconflict with the people that we're working with around the ideasor decisions that we'rediscussing.Conflict is natural.We all bringdifferent life and work experiences to the table.We all havedifferent personality preferences and tendencies.

　　We're notall going to have the same ideas on how to approachpolicies,programs,or problems.Buttoo often,we get caught inthis placewhere conflict isperceived to be negative.Something wewant to avoid,sothat we can maintain the harmony of ourworkplace.This could be because somepeoplewant to avoidconflict at all costs.

　　Afterall,they still have to work together.But this kind ofartificialharmony isn't the answer.Productiveconflict is a vital part ofteams and organizations that wantto push forward and do more.Without conflict,we're often stuck in this artificial harmonywherepeople don't expresspotentiallyinnovative ideasforfear that theymay startconflict with others.

　　But ifyou're in aplace where you have a basis of trust,conflict canbe extremely productive.Itcan lead to increased innovation andgreatertrust on teams.It may be an uncomfortable process,butgood leaders and healthy teams recognize that productive andhealthy conflict is an important part of howtheyfunction.

　　Q22:What doesthe passage say about conflict in organizations?

　　Q23:Why do some people want to avoid conflict at all costs?

　　Q24:Why is productiveconflict importantforteams andorganizations?

　　Q25:What does productive conflict need as a basis?
