A
Do you have a job? If you do, you’ll know the world of work can be tough -long hours, boring tasks and stress. But it can bring benefits too, such as a regular salary. Maybe that's why more of us are now taking on a side hustle - another name for a second job.
For Some having two jobs is a necessity -- a way to make ends meet and provide extra income. But it now seems that more people want to put their skills and passions into practice to make money. These tend to be entrepreneurial young people who want to work on their own projects alongside their main source of income.
According to Henley Business School, around one in four workers run at least one side hustle business, half of which were started in the past two years. Those aged 25 to 34 are most likely to be involved, with 37 percent thought to run a sideline of some kind. It calculates that the average side hustler makes about 20 percent of their income through their second job.
But what's interesting is that many millennials （千禧一代）are turning their hand to new jobs not just for money and security. Research has found that almost three-quarters of people are following a passion or exploring a new challenge. Becci Mai Ford, who works some of the time for a
telecommunications company to pay the bills, spends the rest of her time developing her craft company. She says going full-time is \happy\
Of course having a side hustle means you are self-employed, which can give you flexibility to work when you like, but it can be risky. You sometime work on a zero-hours contract and may not get offered enough work. Or what was originally your passion may become more of a chore. However； this could be the best way to try out a new career or follow a passion while not giving up the day job.
21. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the reason for people to take on a side hustle?
A. To make money.
B. To obtain job satisfaction.
C. To have the flexibility to work. D. To enjoy a risky lifestyle.
22. The author explains the study from Henley Business School by . A. describing the process B. making a comparison C. presenting research findings
D. analyzing cause and effect
23. What is the author's attitude towards having a second job?
A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Neutral.
D. Favorable：
B

Mengniu Dairy, China's dairy producer, is racing to add more vending machines to the 10,000 it currently has, saying the epidemic has driven unexpectedly strong demand for the sales channel. Its system allows customers to order products like ‘milk and yoghurt online which can then be picked up from their local vending machine %unwilling to go to the supermarket,\
Luckin Coflfee, a competitive rival to Starbucks, now also offers the sanitizer (消毒） products （e.g.
hand soap） besides coffee. Liu Xingliaging, an independent retait analyst, said, however, that Luckin's strategy would have only a modest impact. “At best some users will place an order when they buy coffee, but nobody is deliberately choosing the Luckin app just to buy sanitizer”

People may set an alarm on the phone or clock that sounds like this: beep beep beep. That hard, unpleasant sound may be making it harder to shake off the sleepy feeling in the morning known as grogginess. So, is there a better way to wake up? A recent study says yes. The answer is music .
The study, carried out by researchers in Australia, involved 50 people. The researchers found that people who wake up to musical alarms reported feeling more awake and alert. Stuart McFarlane, a lead writer of the study stated, \sound to be more successful；” at waking up a person.
Sleep inertia is another term for grogginess. It means a person has a heavy feeling when waking up, and has trouble getting moving again after sleeping. McFarlane said people need to better understand sleep inertia's harmful effects on human performance later in the day.
Not everyone will experience the full effect. But for those who do, \\when performing duties that require a top performance within this period, he said. This includes \like driving or riding our bikes\dangerous situations shortly after they wake, including firefighters and pilots.
So, what makes musical alarms better for waking up? The researchers think the music may be more successful in reducing sleep inertia because it has several tones, compared to the single tone of a \alarm. McFarlane said that the changes over time between the music tones may help increase a person's attention when waking from sleep.
And is there a kind of music that is best to wake up to? There may be, McFarlane said. \suggest alarm sounds that are tune full and easy to hum or sing along with. The current sounds I have been using include “Close to me' by the Cure and 'Borderline' by Madonna.\
No matter how you wake up, experts say, the amount of sleep you get also matters 一 a lot. 27. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. What is grogginess?
B. Why are musical alarms better?
C. Which music is the best? D. How can we overcome grogginess? 28. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Sleep inertia is another cause for grogginess. B. How long a person sleeps is of great importance.
C. The 'beeping' alarm is not effective mainly because of its noisy tone. D. It is dangerous for everyone to drive or ride bicycles shortly after waking up. 29. The paragraph following this passage is likely to focus on
A. examples of good musical alarms B. more findings of the application of music C. explanations about why music is more helpful
