The conventional language of career success moves in only one direction: up. If you really succeed, you
reach the top. But there is another type of career path. Sideways moves without a promotion or a pay rise, can be a
benefit to employees and organizations alike.
A study carried out by Donald Sull of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his co-authors in 2021
found that the availability of lateral (横向的) career opportunities has a marked impact on keeping employees.
When they decided whether to stay in the company or not, chances to move sideways were two and a half times
more important than pay. Another paper, by Xin Jin of the University of South Florida and Michael Waldman of
Cormell University, concluded that lateral moves did not just benefit organizations: employees who experiencedthem were more likely to be promoted and to enjoy higher wage growth later in their careers than employees who
did not. You can move up by first moving sideways.
The crab-like (螃蟹般的) career has other things going for it. One is that it is a good way to learn new
things. As hiring processes increasingly emphasize skills, employers are likely to put comparatively less emphasis
on CVs and comparatively more weight on what you know. Messrs Jin and Waldman reason that the upper ranks of
companies tend to be people whose capabilities are broad, not deep; that may explain why lateral moves are good
for promotion prospects. Along with skills come contacts. Transferring between teams usually means building a
bigger internal network. Opening the door to more lateral moves is partly a practical matter. Some bigger
employers have “internal talent marketplaces” in which employees can find and apply for jobs elsewhere in the
company; smaller firms have fewer such opportunities to offer.
Embracing sideways movement also requires the right attitude. Lots of managers like to keep talent to
themselves, at the expense of workers and firms. And moving sideways still has less cachet(声望) than moving
upwards. Most people find it not so easy to accept.
62．How does the author develop paragraph 2?
A．By telling personal stories. B．By providing research findings.
C．By comparing different career paths. D．By making remarks on scientific reports.
63．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Lateral moves involve gaining new skills.
B．Lateral moves are mainly for networking purposes.
C．Transferring between teams leads to a larger network.
D．Contacts are more important than skills in lateral moves.
64．What do many managers think of lateral career moves?
A．They are a way to keep talent within the company.
B．They are seen as a threat to the manager’s own positions.
C．They could potentially lead to talent loss within the team.
D．They could contribute to the company's growth in the long run.
65．Who may embrace lateral moves?
A．Bosses who value short-term profits. B．Employees who are eager for more skills.
C．Managers who appreciate long-term stability. D．Job hunters who are interested in smaller firms.

Workplace recognition is a powerful way of making employees feel valued and enhancing their performance.66 Make people feel valued
Employees want to know that they are making a difference in what they do—big or small—and workplace
recognition can make a considerable difference. 67 One of them focused on the impact of letters of
appreciation. The letters roughly read: Your continued dedication and hard work make children and families in the
region better off every day. Appreciation can greatly improve morale(士气).Improve employees’ retention (保留)
68 Not only does this boost their confidence, but it also helps improve your company’s retention rate and
secure top talent. It is predicted that replacing a salaried worker costs 6-9 months of the position’s annual
wages.Boost motivation and productivity
A study found that employee engagement, productivity, and performance are 14% higher in organizations with a
specific recognition programme in place. 69 It means that your team is more present in their day-to-day
roles, they produce optimal work quality and feel personally connected to the company and the work they do for its
growth. Ultimately, workplace recognition leads to happy, driven, and productive workers.Improve employees’
well-being
It’s common for businesses of all sizes to experience stressful periods. 70 Especially when your
team is small and the workload high, people can feel extensive burnout and stress, leading to time off work.
Gratitude increases our positive emotions, like happiness, making us more resilient against future stress.
A．How does this benefit the organizations?
B．What exactly does this mean for businesses?
C．Here are some tips on securing workplace recognition.
D．When your workers are happy, they’re less likely to leave.
E．The Harvard Business Review conducted a series of studies on workplace morale.
F．But small companies and start-ups require more work and attention to develop.
G．Here are the benefits of workplace recognition for both employers and employees.

With the rapid development of digital technologies and the broadening of various 106 (category)
of labor (劳动力), China has seen a large number of fresh professions in recent years.
Various new occupations have offered more employment options. A national classification (分类) of
occupations. 107 (publish) in 2022, showed that there were 1,639 identified occupations in China, 158
more than in 2015, of 108 6% were related to digital technology
Chinese youth are 109 (ambitious) stepping into these new professions, ranging from AI architect
and machine learning engineer to home-stay housekeeper and pet nurse, especially in the intense 110
(compete) of the job market. Virtual architect, a profession to build a world in virtual space by 111 (use)
AI technology, is 112 new occupation often linked to the games industry. Wang, who once mainly
113 (study) gaming and entertainment art in college, is a newcomer in this field, but is very confident about
the prospects of his job. “This technology has vast possibilities, and I can use it 114 (represent) the
whole world.”
A report from 2023 showed that China’s labor market had not fully adapted 115 AI technology,
while some white-collar occupations, such as marketing, finance and secretarial work, had borne the brunt (首当其冲) of this.
