I, m very glad to be here to talk to you. People need to feel secure and comfortable so they can be creative. Well-designed workplaces often create environments that make employees better thinkers. So today, I' 11 talk about how to design workplaces that inspire creativity. I hope you can find it useful. First, the colour of the office walls. Decorate your office with green. Other bright colours such as light blue and yellow can also increase creativity. Calmer colours help us concentrate. Green also reminds us of nature, which may help us to relax. Avoid red when you are choosing a colour. Whi 1 e it can give us a feeling of energy, it also affects our ability to analyze information. Then, let' s turn to lighting. Lighting is also important. Too dark, and workers can feel sleepy. While, if it is too bright, it can make them feel anxious. The best kind of lighting is natural light. It makes us happier and more productive. When it comes toartificial lighting, warm colours are the best. But if we need to concentrate, a bluer light is better. Space is another important matter. A company might want to develop a variety of spaces in an office so staff can find privacy if needed, but also work in open areas for creative thinking.10. What does the woman think of using a car?A.

Sandra want to be politeD. the school can be sure the parents have received the letterWhen I first became a store manager for Walmart, I ran a small store with less than 100 employees.I liked the store because it offered flexible hours, and it allowed me to work while still taking an active role at home as a wife and mother. The store was even right next to my son' s kindergarten.After a year, my boss offered me a chance to manage a Walmart 40 miles away. It had been a problem store for years. The previous two managers had not been successful. The distance and the larger size of the store would mean much more time and energy from me. The new job would be a great challenge. I told my boss I needed to think about it.Driving home, my immediate thought was, “No way!” If two men couldn, t run this store, whatmade me think I could do it while being a wife and mother? I had far less experience than either of the two previous managers.I got home and consulted my husband, who I thought would have the same response as I did. But he didn' t. He said I should accept the new role, and he offered to do more around the house to help me succeed in it. I called my parents, again hoping that they would talk me out of it.To my shock, they also said I should go for it. They said I was exactly what that store needed.Now, I have been at this Walmart for 10 months. I am proud to say we have changed from being one of the worst stores in our area to one of the best. I am so happy that I said no to my own doubt and yes to a new challenge.26.

When you, re at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it.Cigarettes? Cup of coffee? No, it' s the third most addictive thing in modern life, the cell phone. And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curbtheir wishes to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships.With its shiny surface, its smooth and satisfying touch, the cell phone connects us to theworld even as it disconnects us from people three feet away. It affects us in ways its inventors in the late 1940s never imagined.Dr. Chris Knippers, an expert at the Betty Ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on-one personal contact, and an escape from reality.Sounds extreme, but we' ve all witnessed the evidence: the person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him. Is it just rude, or is it a kind of unhealthiness? And pardon me, but how is this improving the quality of life?Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, found one-quarter of Americans have no one to discuss their most important personal business with. Despite the growing use of phones, e-mail and instant messaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we don' t have as many friends as our parents. "Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances through the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends, he says.If the cell phone has truly
