态度题练习

If messages must happen outside of the set communication hours, such as for urgent or

time-sensitive issues, make employees phone or text only. This way people can comfortably close

down all other communication channels like email, WeChat, WeCom, etc. The act of having to call

or text someone is usually enough to give the sender a pause to think, "Do I really need this person

now, or can the communication wait?" This allows everyone on your team to work whenever is

appropriate for them, but not feel like they have to work all the time to accommodate everyone

else's schedule. A word of "Thanks for being so responsive" to someone answering an email

outside of the defined communication hours definitely brings empathy（同理心）, which smooths

the urgency while also cultivating the trust and culture.

1．What is the author's attitude to the combination of "flex time" and "communication hours"?

A．Neutral.

I see people trapped in a pathological (

病态的

) relationship with time-sucking technology,

where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I

am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption

of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.

2. What’s the author’s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?

A. Neutral.

C. Disapproving.

The shed craze makes that outcome more likely. A white-collar worker who has tried to work

from the kitchen table for the past nine months might be keen (

渴望的

) to return to the office. A

worker who has a beautiful garden shed with Wi-Fi will be less so. Joel Bird, who builds

personalized sheds, is certain that his customers foresee a long-term change in their working habits.

“They don’t consider it to be temporary,” he says. “They’re spending too much money.”

3. What is Joel Bird’s attitude to the return of post-COVID office jobs?

A. Enthusiastic.

Traditionally, improvements in energy efficiency have mostly focused on individual devices,

which can be quite fruitful. But focusing on individual devices is like if Apple had spent effort

inventing a better alarm clock, a better CD player, a better calendar, and a better camera. Now with

an iPhone, we don’t need the standalone(

独立运行的

) devices at all, because it can function as all

of them.

4. What does the author think of traditional practices in energy improvements?

A. Fruitless.
