阅读理解短文
Time or Money?
Would you rather have a higher salary or the freedom to work from anywhere in the world?
According to a survey,seven out of ten surveyed readers would consider accepting a lower salary
for more perks(额外收入)and benefits一one in ten would definitely do so.__.
For today's workforce,especially Gen Zs and millennials(千禧-代),perks extend far beyond
the traditional benefits package.They are putting a lot of focus on work-life balance,career
advancement,and the company's culture and values.Among all,a flexible work arrangement tops
the list of those values.The ability to control when and where they work not only boosts
productivity but also helps prevent burnout.This shift enforces companies to demonstrate that
they value outcomes and results over rigid schedules.In return,employees feel trusted,valued,
and empowered,performing at their best when given the flexibility to balance their personal and
professional lives..For women,especially working mothers,unclear boundaries between home
and work can make them feel like they are always working,which increases the risk of burnout.
2
Moreover,remote work can intensify (the challenges associated with career advancement,
as fewer in-person interactions can lead to being overlooked or sidelined.This belief could
negatively affect their chances for promotions and leadership opportunities.
Looking ahead,flexible work arrangements are here to stay and will likely continue to evolve.
Organizations should ensure equitable opportunities consistent with flexible work models,
such as offering personalized arrangements instead of one-size-fits-all solutions.

2.36.F (But what are these perks and how are companies adapting to meet these
expectations?)
考点:过渡句作用+上下文呼应

expectations??”(但这些福利是什么?企业如何适应以满足这些期望?)用问句承接上文“perks”,
