24、in peoples lives, writes David Sturt, Executive Vice President of the O. CTanner Institute, in his book Great Work: How to Make a Difference People Love. Sturt insists, however, that great work is not just for surgeons or special - needs educators or the founders of organizations trying to eliminate

25、 poverty（贫穷）in sub - Saharan Africa. The central theme of Great Work, according to Sturt, is that anyone can make a difference in any job. Its not the nature of the job, but what you do with the job that matters. To prove this, Sturt tells the story of an excellent hospital cleaner named Moses.In a

26、building filled with doctors and nurses doing great lifesaving work, Moses the cleaner makes a difference. Whenever he enters a room, especially a room with a sick child, he impresses both patients and parents with his optimism（乐观）and calm, introducing himself to the child and,Start writes, speaking

27、 “some words about light and sunshine and making things clean.”He praises on any progress he sees day by day (“youre sitting up today, thats good.”) Moses is no doctor and doesnt sit pretend（假装）to be, but he has witnessed hundreds of sick children getting well from painful surgery, and parents take

28、comfort from his encouraging words. For Matt and Mindi, whose son McKay was born with only half of a heart, Moses became a close friend. As Sturt explains, “Moses took his born talents (his sensitivity) and his practical wisdom (from years of hospital experience) and brought them into a powerful for

29、m of patient and family support that changed the criticalcare experience for Mindi, Matt and little McKay.”How do people like Moses do great work when so many people just work? That was the central question raised by Sturt and his team at the O. CTanner Institute, a consulting（咨询）company specialized

30、（专营）in worker recognition（认可）and rewards system.O. CTanner carried out a complete Great Work study that included surveys to 200 senior executives（高管）, a further set of surveys to 1, 000 managers and workers working on projects, a study of 1. 7 million accounts of award - winning work (in the form of

31、 nominations for awards from corporations（公司） around the world), and one - on - one interviews with 200 different makers. The corporations（公司）around the world, and one-on-one interviews with 200 different makers. The results of the study showed that those who do great work refuse to be stopped by th

32、e constraints of their jobs. They are especially able to think about their jobs without any boundaries, they dont consider their jobs as a list of tasks and responsibilities（责任）but see their jobs as chances to make a difference. No matter, as Moses so ably exemplifies（例证）, what that job may be.14Acc

33、ording to Sturt, which of the following is TRUE?AIts not the nature of the job, but what you think that makes a difference.BAnyone in the world has duty to reduce poverty and change the world.CAnyone can make a difference in peoples lives no matter what kind of job he does.DSurgeons, specialneeds ed

34、ucators and founders of organizations can succeed more easily.15According to this passage, how does Moses, a common hospital cleaner, make a difference in peoples lives?ABy keeping optimistic and calm when facing patients and their parents.BBy showing his great duty and rich working experience while

35、 working.CBy showing his pity and kindness to patients when entering their rooms.DBy pretending to be a doctor or nurse when entering a room with the sick.16The word “constraints” in the last paragraph probably means _ .AordersBadvantagesCmistakesDlimitations17What can we infer from the passage?AGre
