22、New Year’s Concert 2021 with Riccardo Muti
The 2021 Vienna Philharmonic New Year’s Concert took place on January 1, 2021, under the baton (指挥) of Riccardo Muti in the Golden Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna. After 1993, 1997, 2000, 2004, and 2018, this year’s concert marked the 6th time that Riccardo Muti, whose close musical partnership with the Vienna Philharmonic has now extended about 50 years, had conducted the prestigious concert event.
The 2021 New Year’s Concert was broadcast in over 90 countries and followed by millions of television viewers around the world. The 2021 New Year’s Concert took place without an audience.
Due to ongoing high rates of infection, the Austrian Federal Government had decided that no concerts could be performed before audiences until January 6, 2021. Unfortunately, it also affected the Preview Performance on December 30, 2020, at 11 AM; the New Year’s Eve Concert on December 31, 2020, at 7:30 PM; and the New Year’s Concert on January 1, 2021, at 11:15 AM. We therefore refunded (退款) all paid tickets and kindly asked the ticket holders to contact us by e-mail.
Riccardo Muti has conducted the most important orchestras in the world, including the Vienna Philharmonic, an orchestra to which he is linked by particularly close and important ties, and with which he has appeared in Vienna and around the world since 1971.
The first New Year’s Concert took place during the darkest chapter of the history of Austria and that of the Vienna Philharmonic. On January 1, 1941, a Philharmonic matinee entitled “Johann Strauss Concert” was performed. Clemens Krauss conducted the concerts. In the years 1946 and 1947, Josef Krips (1902-1974) replaced Krauss, who returned in 1948 and conducted seven more New Year’s Concerts until 1954.
With the unexpected death of Clemens Krauss on May 16, 1954, the orchestra decided, shortly before January 1, 1955, to entrust (委托) Willi Boskovsky with the artistic direction of the New Year’s Concerts.
【1】What do we know about the 2021 New Year’s Concert?
A.It had the most famous conductor.
B.It was held in different countries.
C.It was the sixth one held in the Golden Hall.
D.It had no audience in the Golden Hall.
【2】How did the organizers react to the government’s rules?
A.They added the New Year’s Eve Concert.
B.They paid all the money back to the ticket holders.
C.They put off the New Year’s Concert until January 6, 2021.
D.They asked audiences to preview the performance on December 30.
【3】Who conducted the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert of 1948?
A.Riccardo Muti.
B.Clemens Krauss.
C.Josef Krips.
D.Willi Boskovsky.
23、Beating Burnout and Compassion Fatigue in the New Year
This year has continued to bring many of us closer to the pain, suffering and exhaustion of those experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue (疲倦). There is no doubt that 2021 has been filled with additional challenges. 【1】
The data is clearly showing that our workforce shares feelings of burnout. A recent Gallup report indicated that 67% of us feel burned out either some or most of the time. At an organizational level, Hogan reports that burned out employees are 18% less productive and 2.6 times more likely to be actively seeking a different job.
Fatigue and burnout arise not when we fail to get sufficient rest but when we fail to appreciate the moments of purpose and joy in our lives.
There are a few myths around burnout and compassion fatigue:
Myth 1: Burnout is an individual's problem.
Many people believe that burnout is about an individual who needs to “figure it out”. 【2】 Team structure offers critical support and leaders should create environment where team burnout is addressed.
Myth 2: 【3】
Surprisingly, the individuals most likely to experience burnout are committed employees and leaders who love their job and are highly engaged. These top performers are the people you are most likely to lose.
Myth 3: People who experience burnout are just less resilient.
Research shows a correlation between higher levels of resilience (复原力) and lower levels of burnout. 【4】 But resilience looks very different now from five years ago, and my guess is that it will continue to shift.
If 2021 has taught us anything, it is that we cannot separate burnout from our emotions, whether they may be fear, anger, shame or guilt. 【5】
A.While fatigue is more sudden and results from carrying the pain and suffering of others, what we experience is similar.
B.Burnout results from lack of responsibility.
C.Burnout hurts individuals' enthusiasm and passion.
D.At this point, burnout and compassion fatigue has expanded into many aspects of our lives.
E.But burnout occurs at different levels and is the result from challenges to individuals, teams and organizations.
F.At one point, people believed resilience was established by “sucking it up”, or “just staying positive”.
G.And the path forward requires us to deepen the relationship with feelings of joy, passion, pride and fulfillment.

25、“Challenge-based learning is often focused on the challenges that have global impact. The students, who ___________the challenge, often don’t know what the solution will be. The facilitator is keeping them from ___________a solution too early, and encourages to analyze the challenge from multiple points of view, and from different scientific perspectives,” says Vilma Sukacke, a researcher at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), Lithuania.
Such a learning approach is very fitting to sustainability education, which, according to various scholars,___________a contextual, problem-oriented, reflective, interdisciplinary (跨学科), collaborative, participatory and empowered learning environment. In other words, educators have to ___________from more traditional teacher-centred education to becoming instructional designers of student-centred education.
Aiming to evaluate the ___________of such approaches, a group of researchers from Lithuanian, Danish, German, Portuguese and Spanish universities conducted a systematic literature review,___________the three active learning methods, i.e.. project, problem and challenge-based learning according to the ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) framework.
__________the educators agree that problem-based learning (PBL), project-based learning (PJBL) and, more recently, challenge-based learning (CBL) are efficient in teaching the students to ___________technology in real-life situations and improving their transversal (横向) skills, such as teamwork, communication and conflict resolution, the application of these methods in the classroom may be challenging for both sides.
“In my practice, I have noticed that sometimes students are ___________innovative learning methods and are considering them as a sort of a game. As these classes often take place in a play full environment, full of different pencils, colorful notes and building blocks, it’s difficult for the students to take them ___________. Therefore, it’s very important to___________the methods and the goals to the learners very clearly,” says Professor Saule Petroniene from KTU Faculty of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, a co-author of the study.
According to her, to successfully apply unconventional teaching methods is a challenge for a beginning teacher. However, this effort ___________, especially when students continue their activities outside school and focus on solving ___________social problems.
Rescarchers believe that the ___________of CBL, PJBL, and PBL requires a paradigm (范式) shift, where organization, staff and students change their view to education and learning. In this process, both teachers and students need to apply new skills and ___________roles that they might not have needed before.
