Gen Z employees are thriving in the new world of work. They’ve entered the workforce at a time when flexibility is commonplace, digital communication is 21 and employees have the leverage to ask companies for what they want.
At the same time, 22 , some experts are concerned that remote and hybrid work arrangements are already leaving some early-career workers behind. Many of these worries revolve around the absence of workplace 23 : a lack of the casual conversations and informal observations that traditionally teach young employees how to act. Amid virtual settings, some experts believe entrylevel workers are missing out 24 picking up vital cues that guide behavior, collaboration and networking.
“It’s particularly centred around communication,” explains Helen Hughes, associate professor at Leeds University. “It’s things like understanding norms, values and etiquette: Who should you call? How should they be contacted? Are some people out of bounds?” These sorts of questions were once promptly answered in 25 settings—a desk drop-by, or quick tag in the office kitchen. “Social comparison is harder in a remote or hybrid environment—you can’t see everyone around you and get a sense of how you’re doing,” says Hughes.

Hyperreality, in semiotics and postmodernism, is an inability of consciousness to distinguish reality 26 a simulation of reality, especially in technologically advanced postmodern societies. Hyperreality is seen as a condition 27 what is real and what is fiction are seamlessly blended together so that there is no clear distinction between where one ends and where the other begins. It allows the co-mingling of physical reality with 28 reality and human intelligence with artificial intelligence. The concept of “hyperreality” was contentiously coined by French sociologist Jean Baudrillard who defined it as “the generation by models of a real without origin or reality.” Hyperreality is a representation, a sign, without an original referent. He believes hyperreality goes 29 confusing or blending the “real” with the symbol which represents it； it involves creating a symbol or set of 30 which represent something that does not actually exist； Santa Claus is a case in point.

【題組】28.
(A) normal
(B) factual
(C) virtual
(D) intellectual

Many things have changed in astronomy over the past half-century. Until about 30 years ago, there was a great 31 of charts and catalogues. Telescopic equipment was limited and there were few books on practical astronomy. Today, the range of off-the-shelf telescopes and equipment covers almost everything one could need. Electronic calculators and computers have revolutionized almanacs and chart production, and 32 the analysis of observations and the publication of results.
All these advances must surely make this the golden 33 of amateur astronomy. Well, perhaps, but a great deal has been lost as well. Now one may have to travel 80 km to find a sky comparable to that found in urban areas 60 years ago. The daytime skies are now 34 by aircraft condensation trails which can 35 for hours and often spread out to form amorphous clouds, making solar observations impossible and hampering night-time observation too.

Given that bureaucracy is held in such ill repute today, it is hard to remember that it was once considered a great organizational innovation. By organizing the 36 of labor, by making management and decision-making a profession, and by providing an order and a set of rules that allowed many different kinds of specialists to work in coordination toward a common 37 , bureaucracy greatly extended the breadth and depth of intelligence that organization could achieve. Begun as a system of organizing government activities, it has 38 to big business and large organization of all kinds.
Max Weber, who 39 the systematic study of bureaucracy as its role in western society began to explode in the late nineteenth century, saw bureaucracy as both the most efficient possible system, and a threat to the basic liberties he 40 dear, thus foreshadowing the sentiments which bureaucracy frequently evoked today.

The news that one of the Hollywood superstars was diagnosed the aphasia drew everyone’s attention on the causes and effects of such disease. According to the medical statistics in the USA, approximately one-third of stroke survivors suffer from impaired communication abilities, and 30%– 42% of these patients have longstanding symptoms of aphasia, and the most common, Broca’s aphasia, is caused by lesions on anterior brain regions, which often require long-term care, leading to substantial economic and mental health burdens on the family and society.
Community medical resources have confirmed that promoting full engagement with rehabilitation treatment for post-stroke patients has reduced the disability rate below 40% and increased activities of daily living by 35%. In addition, intensive speech and language therapy (SLT) improves the functional reorganization of the central nervous system； however, high-intensity and high-dose interventions may not be acceptable to all patients. Therefore, other treatments adjunct to SLT might be useful. More specifically, while intensive SLT is effective, recent evidence suggests that scalp acupuncture therapy (SAT) may have beneficial effects on comprehension, oral expression, repetition, denomination, reading and writing in postapoplectic aphasia (Tang, Tang, & Yang, 2019). One research group from Taiwan (Liu, Huang, Xu, Wu, Tao, & Chen, 2021) tried to appraise the costeffectiveness of combining SAT with SLT community patients with Broca’s aphasia after stroke, compared to SLT alone. They found that combination therapy was cost-effective and reduced the use of non-standard treatments and medications, leading to lower direct non-medical costs and self-paid expenses.
In Liu et al.’s (2021) research, a within-trial cost-effectiveness analysis was applied among 203 participants with Broca’s aphasia after stroke who had been randomly assigned to receive scalp acupuncture with SLT (intervention) or SLT alone (control). Both groups underwent SLT, which roughly last 30 minutes each day, 5 days a week for 4 weeks； while the intervention group simultaneously received scalp acupuncture. Moreover, outcomes were measured using informal assessments and self-report questionnaires and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were calculated as a measure of the additional costs necessary to achieve greater treatment outcomes. The results of this economic analysis revealed that patients receiving combination therapy reduced their use of non-standard treatment interventions and medications, reflected in reduced direct non-medical costs and self-paid expenses. Combination therapy was less costly than SLT alone calculated according to the modified intention-to-treat principle. In other words, SAT is a cost-effective treatment option for patients with Broca’s aphasia after stroke, compared to SLT alone.
In short, the study, which included the first economic evaluation of acupuncture treatment in patients with Broca’s aphasia after stroke, had valuable findings and methodological limitations. There are only a few studies on acupuncture treatment in patients with Broca’s aphasia after stroke, Liu et al. (2021) concluded that acupuncture seems to be effective in improving post-stroke aphasia, functional communication and language function, and the best curative effect was achieved with the combination of acupuncture with speech and language training. Potential limitations included lack of blinding, variability of treatment regimens, and a heterogeneous patient sample. While SAT appears to be an effective treatment for post-stroke aphasia, the real-world implementation of SAT in lowincome and middle-income countries and regions may be restricted by poor acupuncture services, inefficient systems, and a deficiency of therapists. Standardized education and training for the public, community physicians, and government agencies are needed to improve awareness of the benefits and cost-effectiveness of SAT. Still, although the effects of acupuncture appear to be persistent as the differences between the groups were slightly larger after 12 weeks follow-up investigation than those who received immediately post-treatment, long-lasting health economic effects require further study.
【題組】48. What information was true in Liu et al.’s design of research?
(A) Different instruments were used to collect data such as questionnaires.
(B) A total of 203 participants with Broca’s aphasia were equally allotted.
(C) Both groups applied the SAT to determine the medical effects.
(D) The data collection lasted for one month approximately.

19(C).

【題組】49. What is needed to improve awareness of the benefits and cost-effectiveness of SAT?
(A) Increased investment in research and development
(B) Increased availability of acupuncture services
(C) Standardized education and training
(D) More robust economic analyses
