9．Imagine that you're looking at your company-issued smartphone and you notice an e-mail from Linkedin："These companies are looking for candidates like you!"You aren't necessarily searching for a job，but you're always open to opportunities，so out of curiosity，you click on the link．A few minutes later your boss appears at your desk．"We've noticed that you're spending more time on Linkedin lately，so I want to talk with you about your career and whether you're happy here，"she says．Uh-oh．
It's an awkward scene．Attrition（損耗） has always been expensive for companies，but in many industries the cost of losing good workers is rising，owing to tight labor markets．Thus companies are intensifying（增強(qiáng)） their efforts to predict which workers are at high risk of leaving so that managers can try to stop them．Tactics（策略） range from electronic monitor to sophisticated（復(fù)雜的） analyses of employees'social media lives．
Some of this work may be a reason to let employees to quit．In general，people leave their jobs because they don't like their boss，don't see opportunities for promotion or growth，or are offered a higher pay； these reasons have held steady for years．
New research conducted by CEB，a Washington-based technology company，looks not just at why workers quit but also at when．"We've learned that what really affects people is their sense of how they're doing compared with other people in their peer group，or with where they thought they would be at a certain point in life，"says Brian Kropp，who heads CEB's HR practice．"We've learned to focus on moments that allow people to make these comparisons．"
Technology also provides clues about which star employees might be eyeing the exit．Companies can tell whether employees usmg work computers or phones are spending time on （or even just opening e-mails from） career websites，and research shows that more firms are paying attention to these things．Large companies have also begun tracking badge swipes（瀏覽痕跡）employees'use of an ID to enter and exit the building or the parking garage-to identify patterns that suggest a worker may be interviewing for a job．

32．From the first paragraph，we can infer Linkedln isC
A．a(chǎn)n e-mail
B．a(chǎn) job from the Internet
C．a(chǎn) professional social network
D．a(chǎn) world-famous company
33．What's the main idea of the second paragraph？D
A．The cost o losing good workers is rising．
B．Companies are stricter with workers than before．
C．Finding new jobs has been a trend for most workers．
D．Measures have been taken to find the potential workers who want to quit．
34．According to the research by CEB，which of the following might be the most probable reason for workers to quit their jobs？B
A．They don't like their bosses．
B．Workers are always doing comparisons．
C．Not seeing opportunities for promotion．
D．To find a higher-paid job．
35．What is the author's purpose in writing the text？A
A．To make a review on a phenomenon．
B．To tell us the leader's concerns．
C．To show a new trend in the job market．
D．To stress the role of new technologies．

20．A stress ball is a small ball designed t o help relieve stress by exercising the muscles in the hand．Actually，a stress ball does not necessarily have to be shaped like a ball．（36）DThe main characteristic is that it can fit easily in a hand，and it is changeable，allowing a user to squeeze it out of shape while providing some resistance to force the muscles of the hand to work．

Using a stress ball doesn't require any particular instructions or skills．（40）CRepeated use of a stress ball can，of course，cause the same problems that other repetitive motions are associated with，but taking breaks from typing and other repetitive tasks to squeeze a stress ball a few times can be beneficial．
