(英译汉)The weekends are a time for families in Britain. Often the parents are not at work. Having worked a five-day week from Monday to Friday, Saturdays are a busy time for shops with many families going shopping. Sundays used to be a very special day of the week in Britain. It was the one day of the week for "worship and rest". The shops were closed and most people were at home or at church. Popular leisure activities on Sunday used to be going to church and doing odd jobs around the home such as gardening and DIY.

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.According to Paragraph 1,most previous surveys found that home_____A.was an unrealistic place for relaxationB.generated more stress than the workplaceC.was an ideal place for stress measurementD.offered greater relaxation than the workplace

资料:It's almost considered sacrilegious today to leave work at the end of your workday or(for shamel)on a Friday and simply not check your email until you return the office during normal working hours.The constant need to check email is the trade-off the modern workforce has made for the ability to work anytime, anywhere, thanks to smartphones and tablets that keep us always connected.But three university researchers have found that it's not just doing a bit of work after hours that cause burn out. The true culprit is actually the constant worrying about off-hour email.A new study Exhausted But Unable to Disconnect. by Lehigh University's Liuba Belkin, Virginia Tech’s William Becker and Colorado State University's Samantha Conroy shows that employees are growing exhausted by the expectation that they will always be available, never knowing what kind of work requests will asked of them off hours.Typically, companies don't mean to stress employees out like that. Most companies don't have formal policies that say people must answer work emails after-hours. (expect, perhaps, in cases where an employee is on call during specific times).But policies and culture tend to be two different things. If supervisors routinely email employee after hours and expect a fast response (often because their supervisors are doing the same to them), then the message is clear: whenever the boss emails, the employee is expected to be available.The solution is for bosses to tell employees that an after-hours email doesn't necessarily require a response before the next work day, and to also set some times when after-hours emailing is considered acceptable and prohibited, such as no emails via the dinner hour, on weekends, or after 10 p. m, the researchers say.What would you do if you were the policy maker of a company?A.To require an instant respond for after-hour emailing.B.To abandon after-hour emailing.C.To tell employees that an after-hours email doesn't necessarily require a response.D.To limit the time of after-hour emailing.

FIND YOUR MOST PRODUCTIVE TIMEFace it: You aren’t cranking out work at absolute peak productivity for the entire day. Instead, there are likely certain times when you’re 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 arrives in the office, when you do your best work. Whenever it is, identify that chunk of time (even if it’s only an hour!) when you feel 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, designated period when you can at least get started on those bigger to-dos.2.

共用题干第二篇Why Not Eat Breakfast?Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day,it is also the most neglected or skipped.Common reasons for not eating breakfast include lack of time,not feeling hungry,traditional dislike for breakfast,and dieting.Breakfast simply means"break the fast."Your body spends at least six to twelve hours each night in a fasting state.In the morning your body needs energy to rev up(转动起来)into high gear for the day's work ahead.If you skip breakfast,you are likely to concentrate less effectively in the late morning, feel irritable, short-tempered(易怒的),tired, or weak.When you choose not to eat breakfast,your body stays in slow gear.Also,people who skip breakfast often binge(无节制地大吃)later in the day at other meals or eat a high-calorie(高卡路里)snack in the morning.Breakfast eaters tend to eat less fat during the day,have more strength and endurance and better concentration and problem-solving ability.A good breakfast should provide up to 1 /3 of your total calorie needs for the day.On the average,we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner.If breakfast doesn't appeal to you in the morning,try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half your dinner for breakfast in the morning.If you still aren't hungry in the morning,start with something small like juice or toast or have a mid-morning snack later when you are hungry.Not eating breakfast can also cause you to overeat,since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later.To make matters worse,since your body is in a slowed state,it will not be able to burn those extra calories very efficiently.If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals throughout the day,you are less likely to become extremely hungry and stuff yourself as soon as you begin to eat.Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day,choosing the right fuel is important.The best breakfast foods are fruits,juice,lean meat,and grain products such as breads,rice,noodles,and cereals.You can improve your appetite for breakfast byA:drinking a glass of milk before going to bed.B:not eating too much for dinner in the evening.C:eating a big dinner in the evening.D:having some juice and a toast for dinner.
