I accepted a marketing coordinator position with Coton Colors.I knew the company was growing fast，so it felt like a great place to begin my career.In Coton Colors，I tried to establish myself.I took on basic marketing tasks like helping with small campaigns or simple design.I started undertaking more tasks and discovering things I liked and excelled in.I continued to ask for more responsibilities，and before I knew it，I was leading meetings and directing support staff. I started getting in contact with some of my New York classmates.It seemed that most of them were still assistants，running to get coffee and make copies，without getting any useful experience.Those conversations helped me realize that I was in control of my own career.I didn't need to move to a big city to become an important part of a successful team—I was already part of one.I went to the CEO and asked to create and lead an events team.After only a few months，I worked around the clock to grow this branch while also continuing to maintain my regular job duties.In the end，all of my hard work and devotion paid off.I have watched myself grow from an entry­level college student to a valued member of a powerful management team.I have overcome many stereotypes (刻板印象) of my generation with my hard work and positive attitude. 4.Why did the author finally decide to start her career in Florida?

Do you work remotely and mostly communicate with your colleagues through technologies like Microsoft Teams or Slack? Technologies are rapidly changing how，when，and where we work.But what impact do they have on our work motivation? We recently reviewed the research done to answer this question and unfortunately，the news is not so good. For the most part，technologies have worsened the satisfaction of our psychological needs when we work.They are robbing us of our feelings of control and freedom because they monitor us and tell us what and how to do our work; sometimes they also pressure us to work faster.And they are decreasing our chances to create meaningful relationships with colleagues. To fix and avoid these issues in the future，we have concluded from this review that we need to advocate for the use of psychological knowledge when designing technologies to be used in work environments.Psychologists are well equipped to advise how to design and use technologies in ways that will maintain or even improve the design of our work. Work is considered to be well­designed when it gives us some decision­making power，provides us with performance feedback，and allows us to connect with colleagues not only to increase relatedness but also to see the impact our work has on stakeholders.Good work design makes our work more meaningful. Why is this important? Because work motivation that stems from meaning and enjoyment will be increasingly important in the future of work.Indeed，as work environments and career tracks become more dynamic and precarious，we need workers to be more active and flexible for the changeable situation.And motivation through meaning and enjoyment makes people more active and flexible. So，when you hear your employer wants to introduce new technologies in your workplace，ask them if they have used the service of psychology experts.It will ensure your work keeps being designed in a way that will make it meaningful and enjoyable. 8.According to the recent research review，how do technologies affect our work? A.They decrease our working efficiency. B.They increase our psychological needs. C.They improve our relationships with colleagues. D.They reduce our work motivation for creativity. 9.What does the author suggest for introducing technologies in work? A.Updating technical equipment. B.Consulting psychology experts. C.Reviewing the former research. D.Improving the design of our work. 10.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A.The process of good work design. B.The potential decision­making power. C.The characteristic of well­designed work. D.The meaning of connection with colleagues. 11.What does the underlined word “precarious” mean in paragraph 5? A.Uncertain. B.Unavoidable. C.Rewarding. D.Straightforward.
