The pandemic has given a big push to all forms of digital communication. A workplace dominated by time on screens may seem bound to favor newer, faster and more visual ways of transmitting information. But an old form of communication — writing — is also flourishing (蓬勃).

The value of writing is highly valued in management thinking. “The discipline of writing something down is the first step towards making it happen, ” said Lee Iacocca, a giant of the American car industry. Jeff Bezos banned slides from meetings of senior Amazon executives (主管) back in 2004, in favor of well-structured memos (备忘录).

The move to remote working has strengthened the value of writing. When tasks are being handed off to colleagues in other locations, comprehensive documentation is crucial. When new employees start work on something, they want the back story. When old hands depart an organization, they should leave knowledge behind.

Software developers have already worked out the value of the written words. A research programme from Google into the ingredients of successful technology projects found that teams with high quality documentation deliver software faster and more reliably. Gitlab, a code hosting platform whose workforce is wholly remote, describes its secret of success as “textual communication”.

The deep thought and the discipline required by writing are helpful in other contexts, too. “Brain writing“ is a brain storming technique, used by Slack among others, in which participants are given time to put down their ideas before discussion begins.

Writing is not always the best way to communicate in the workplace. Video is more memorable; a phone call is quicker; even PowerPoint has its place. But for the structured thought it demands, and the ease with which it can be shared and edited, the written words are made for remote work and will flourish in the post-pandemic workplace.

For many American high school seniors and their families, May 1 is “National College Decision Day,” when students make a decision about their academic future. 【小题1】 According to a recent survey, more than half of Americans don’t even think college is worth the cost. This is upsetting, as completing college is as important as ever.

【小题2】 Even in today’s competitive labor market, college graduates find work much easier and tend to command significantly higher incomes. The unemployment rate for those with a bachelor’s degree or greater is currently half that of those with a high school degree. This college income advantage is due to technological advances like the personal computer and the Internet, which have caused a huge demand for skilled workers. The rapid advances today in automation and artificial intelligence will further increase the need for a highly skilled workforce. 【小题3】

It is understandable why many students and families suspect that college is no longer “worth it.” College tuition has been rising for years, and many students fear being burdened with loans after graduation. But in fact, the net price of a four-year college, which is what students pay after financial aid, has been falling since 2018 and is now lower than it was in 2006. 【小题4】 In other words, the investment paid off.

To make smart decisions about where to go and what to study, students and parents can make use of resources available today to make informed choices. 【小题5】 With these resources, students can gain a reasonable picture of what their future holds down each potential path.

A.To acquire these advanced skills, college remains the surest path.
B.However, recent years have seen a sharp drop in college registration.
C.These attitudes are also reflected in the actions of the youngest generation.
D.Higher education must make college pricing clear to would-be college-goers.
E.Huge data shows a college degree actually gives graduates economic advantages.
F.Furthermore, students in debt were more likely to finish their degrees and earn more later.
G.For example, tools like College Scorecard offer graduation rates and future earnings across schools.

The tragedy of the commons is an economic theory which outlines the problems with people sharing collective property versus private ownership. An example of collective property is when employees don’t feel any ownership in the chairs and desks in the office, so they don’t report problems when they occur. However, in private ownership, anything is checked and taken care of. The tragedy of the commons can ruin your business if you’re not careful. 【小题1】

Encourage teamwork. Numerous studies have shown that to employees, self-realization is even more important than money. We can self-realize by feeling like we are a team, jointly committed to a cause. 【小题2】 They don’t just have a job for themselves. Instead, they are set to make the company a success. Certainly, they have specific responsibilities, but their commitment to the business is all-embracing.

【小题3】 There are some people who are naturally more gifted in particular areas. For example, one man who works for me is just a natural handyman. So, I asked him to keep an eye on the mechanical items that may need maintenance and repairs, and to go ahead and fix it. He should treat the property as if he owns it

Hold back the critical. Not everybody is cut out to be an overseer of a business. Some people are just too judgmental or negative. Even if such people have particular skills, you do well to not assign them to oversee others. They can drive everybody crazy. 【小题4】 This keeps them and everyone else happy.

Welcome feedback. You may notice something is not being taken care of here or there. 【小题5】 This becomes a valuable tool to show employees that this is important to you, and you genuinely care about them and the state of your assets.

A.Plan out management wisely.
B.Assign tasks evenly among employees.
C.Create a place for them where they work chiefly alone.
D.There, however, exist such benefits as mentioned below.
E.The question then comes: How do you deal with it in a business?
F.Point it out in a respectful manner and figure out what is going on.
G.Inspire everyone to take a heartfelt involvement in the business as a whole.
请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:何个空恪只填1个单词。
