Jim Glaub and Dylan Parker had just been handed the keys to their new Manhattan apartment
on 22nd Street when the outgoing tenant （房客）said something curious ，"Just so you
know,there's this thing where letters addressed to Santa come to the apartment.The previous
tenants received the mail too. It has been coming for years and no one knows why."
Glaub and Parker settled in to their new home,and for the first two years only a few letters
from kids or parents asked"Santa"for gifts they could not otherwise afford.Then in the months
leading to Christmas 2010,their mailbox was filled with letters to Santa every day. They responded
to as many as they could,writing notes,even buying gifts. Glaub,of course,is not Santa.They could
do only so much.
But one night,when he and Parker threwa 1960s-themed Christmas party,a solution
appeared.Guests noticed the hundreds of letters they'd yet to act upon and asked about them.
Glaub told them the story and his guests were intrigued.“A lot of people were like,‘I'll take a letter.
I'll satisfy it.'"And so was born Miracle on 22nd Street.
To spread the word,they started a website,miracleon22ndstreet.com,and a Facebook page.
Working with other nonprofits that help thosein need,they invited families from around the
country to go online and request gifts for their children. Likewise, donors, also known as
“elves,”can sign up to buy gifts for a child or family,accompanied by a signed note with Elf before
their name,such as Elf Jim or Elf Jody.
Last year,Glaub and Miracle on 22nd Street helped more than 800 families. Glaub no longer
wonders why the letters come to the apartment.Putting in the long hours to help the families is
what it's all about for him."It's part of Christmas for me,"he says,"It wouldn't be Christmas without
it.”

The term“quiet quitting”went viral last year,describing people who stay in their jobs but
mentally take a step back—for example,working the bare minimum and not making their job the
center of their lives. Now in 2023,there is a new workplace trend on the horizon,called“quiet
hiring”.
Quiet hiring is a strategy used to fill the critical gaps in a company without hiring new
employees. One company has a limited amount of talent and needs to make a call about where it's
going to have the best impact. This year it may need to add five more data scientists to its team to
meet the strategic goals. As a solution,it may move five employees from another department only
for a short time,like data analysts in the human resources and marketing department,into the five
open data scientist roles.
In this case,the boss is saying,"We're going to intentionally deprioritize support for HR and
marketing for the next six months so that we can increase the productivity of our data science
team,and we are saying this sound and clearly. Everyone knows this.”The important distinction
with quiet hiring is that a company is openly communicating with employees about its priorities
and moving employees to areas that serve those priorities,instead of just loading employees with
more work or simply hiring more people.
While being assigned to a new role may seem scary,quiet hiring should be beneficial to
employees. If you were asked to take on additional responsibilities,it would indicate your value.
Meantime you might say,"If it's not possible to increase my payment,can we make it so that I can
work from home five days a week，reducing my commute（通勤）costs？ Or，could I work
flexible hours,making it easier for me to live the rest of my life?”An individual conversation may
be ineffective.If you're part of a department or team being asked to switch roles,employ that power
and approach human resources as a group.
8.What does the strategy of quiet hiring refer to?
A.Adding more positions. B.Training new employees.
C.Employing new talent secretly. D.Shifting existing staff to new posts.
9.What is the feature of a company's handling quiet hiring?
A.Innovations are highly valued.
B.Employees are burdened with overwork.
C.Roles of departments are changed regularly.
D.Personnel changes are announced beforehand.
