Title: Is Now a Good Time to Buy an Electric Car?
The rapid evolution of electric vehicles (EVs) has left many prospective buyers wondering, "Is now a good time to buy an electric car?" With advancements in technology, increased affordability, and a growing charging infrastructure, the answer is a resounding yes.
The most significant factor to consider is the improved battery technology, which has led to a substantial increase in range, allowing EVs to travel upwards of 200-300 miles on a single charge. Moreover, battery costs have decreased by almost 90% in the past decade, making EVs more financially accessible for the average consumer.
In addition, governments around the world are pushing for a greener future, offering incentives and rebates to EV buyers. These incentives can significantly reduce the upfront cost of an electric vehicle, making them an even more attractive option.
One of the key concerns for EV owners has always been charging infrastructure. However, with a surge in investment and development, the number of charging stations has grown exponentially, alleviating range anxiety for most drivers.
In conclusion, the combination of advanced technology, increased affordability, and a robust charging network makes now an excellent time to invest in an electric car. With the added bonus of contributing to a greener and more sustainable future, there's never been a better moment to make the switch.

Questions 168~171 refer to the following email.
Subject: Urgent Request: Equitable Workload Allocation 

Dear Ms. Palmer, 

I am Alex Mason, a sales associate at the Parkview Plaza branch of Elegant Living Furniture. I am writing to express my growing concern and frustration with the recurrent assignment of additional work to our team members, causing considerable distress and negatively impacting our branch's morale and work environment. 

Over the past few months, our Parkview Plaza branch has consistently been allocated an excessive workload compared to other Elegant Living Furniture branches. While we understand that temporary variations in workload may occur, the ongoing pattern of our branch receiving an excessive amount of extra work is both unjust and disheartening. This issue has resulted in increased stress levels, burnout, and a decline in the quality of customer service we provide. 

I urgently request that you address this critical situation and implement a transparent and fair workload allocation system to guarantee a more equitable distribution of work among all branches. Addressing this issue will rejuvenate our team's morale and enhance overall productivity and customer satisfaction. I am confident in your ability to resolve this pressing concern and look forward to discussing this matter further with you and my colleagues.

Questions 172~175 refer to the following information.
According to research as a psychologist and tech behavior researcher, the average attention span on a screen is just 47 seconds and is decreasing. To combat this attention-switching pattern that can lead to stress and exhaustion, energy protection and balance should be prioritized. Instead of completing time-consuming tasks one after the other, tasks should be treated like puzzle pieces that fit together. Starting the day with rote work that doesn't require much brainpower, and interspersing difficult tasks with easy, rewarding activities can help prevent burnout. Additionally, scheduling back-to-back meetings should be avoided, and breaks should be taken in between. Challenging tasks should be saved for peak focus time, which is different for everyone and is influenced by their natural circadian rhythm. To minimize the negative emotional impact of tasks that are dreaded, they should be scheduled before lunchtime when a break can be taken afterward. The goal is to end the day with a net positive emotion, which can be achieved by prioritizing tasks that make one feel positive and engaging in activities that provide a mental high, such as jogging.

Dear Emotional Intelligence Hub team,

I am writing to inquire about the emotional intelligence training program that your organization offers.
