Text 1 A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys,people are actually more stressed at home than at work.Researchers measured people’s cortisol,which is a stress marker,while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom,we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home”,writes one of the researchers,Sarah Damske.In fact women even say they feel better at work,she notes.“It is men,not women,who report being happier at home than at work.”Another surprise is that findings hold true for both those with children and without,but more so for nonparents.This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when they’re at home,whether it is household work or work brought home from the office.For many men,the end of the workday is a time to kick back.For women who stay home,they never get to leave the office.And for women who work outside the home,they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks.With the blurring of roles,and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women,it’s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it’s not just a gender thing.At work,people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing:working,making money,doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income.The bargain is very pure:Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front,however,people have no such clarity.Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out.There are a lot of tasks to be done,there are inadequate rewards for most of them.Your home colleagues—your family—have no clear rewards for their labor;they need to be talked into it,or if they’re teenagers,threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices.Plus,they’re your family.You cannot fire your family.You never really get to go home from home.So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home.Not only are the tasks apparently infinite,the co-workers are much harder to motivate.The blurring of working women's roles refers to the fact that____A.they are both bread winners and housewivesB.their home is also a place for kicking backC.there is often much housework left behindD.it is difficult for them to leave their office

资料：As a startup founder, my daily tasks include everything from long-term strategic planning to approving team outings and company culture initiatives. Day after day, things inevitably come up that need to get handled ASAP. But l've also learned that if you don't have a strategy for making time for those bigger ambitions and your truly lofty goals, they'll simply never get done. And that means you won't make the progress that's really going to move your business forward.1. FIND YOUR MOST PRODUCTIVE TIMEFace it. You aren't cranking out work at absolute peak productivity for the entire day. Instead are likely certain times when you are at your most focused and other times when your energy wanes. That's normal. Maybe for you, it's bright and early in the morning, before anyone else arrive in the office, when you do your best work. Whenever it is, identity that when you feel your most productive, and then reserve it on your calendar like you would any other important meeting. You need to protect this block of time from intrusion-it isn't optional. That way you're guaranteed to have a regular, designed period when you can at least on those bigger to-dos.2. CREATE PHYSICAL BARRIERS Nobody works in a vacuum. We all have to collaborate with others to some degree or another. And it's the people we work closest with whom we tend to put first-we want to be readily available if they need our help. But there are times you need to tune out the distractions and forces if you're going to get any meaningful work done.One of the most effective methods l've found is to put physical barriers between us. I'll work from a conference room or even from home on accession in order to get some literal space from people needing "just one quick thing. "What can be inferred from paragraph 3 ?A.You have to be readily available in the office.B.People cannot work in a vacuum.C.People in the office love helping others.D.Sometimes we have to decline colleagues' requests.

Boredom at Work ① You might find yourself staring at the clock, willing it to move faster so the boring workday will finally end. If your job offers little in the way of stimulation, there are steps you can take inside and outside the workplace. ② If you're bored with your job, it could be a sign that you've mastered the basic requirements and are ready for more of a challenge. You might not have been in your position long enough to request a promotion. Still, you can take steps to enhance your current role. Ask your boss if there are any projects you can help with. Volunteer to train less experienced colleagues. You'll feel more stimulated at work and also increase your chances of future advancement. ③ If you feel there is nothing left to learn in your present position, take steps to increase your knowledge. Your company's website might have online courses you can take during your slow periods, with your manager's permission. Enroll in training classes your company offers in areas that interest you. You also can pursue educational opportunities outside of the workplace, such as college classes, industry-specific training programs or self-improvement courses. If the knowledge you acquire doesn't help you in your present position, it might eventually help you move into a more fulfilling position. ④ Look for ways to challenge yourself. If your job involves performing repetitive tasks, set a quota for the number of times you can accomplish a particular task during the course of a shift. This will give you something to shoot for. If you have co-workers who perform the same tasks, make a friendly wager to see who can do the most. You'll form stronger bonds with your colleagues, and your employer is likely to notice your increased productivity. ⑤ According to psychotherapist and career coach Nina Ham, boredom at work might be a symptom of dissatisfaction with your personal life. Finding sources of stimulation outside of work can have a positive impact on your attitude toward your job. Seeking counseling for an emotional issue can also be of benefit. If your personal life is going well and nothing you try seems to improve your engagement level at work, it might be time to consider a job or even a career change.If you′re bored with your job, it shows that you′ve mastered（）A、strong desire for friendly relationshipsB、your slow periodsC、dissatisfaction with your personal lifeD、the basic requirementsE、performing repetitive tasksF、inside and outside the workplace
