1、Unit 3 单元综合A When its five oclock, people leave their office. The length of the workday, for many workers, is defined by time. They leave when the clocks tell them theyre done. These days, the time is everywhere: not just on clocks or watches, but on cellphones and computers. That may be a bad thing

2、, particularly at work. New research shows that clock-based work schedules get in the way of creativity. Clock-timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours, for example, a meeting from 9 a. m. to 10 a. m. , research from 10 a. m. to noon, etc. On the other hand, task-timers have a list o

3、f things they want to accomplish. They work down the list, and each task starts when the previous task is completed. It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning. What, then, are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways? Does one make us more productive? B

4、etter at the tasks at hand? Happier? In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier, they had participants organize different activities from project planning, holiday shopping to yoga by time or the to-do list to measure how they performed under clock time vs task time”. They found

5、clock-timers to be more efficient(有效率的) but less happy because they felt little control over their lives. Task-timers were happier and more creative, but less productive. They tended to enjoy the moment when something good was happening, and seized opportunities that came up. The researchers argue t

6、hat task-based organizing tends to be undervalued and not be supported in the business culture. This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office, but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic of the economy: work organized by clock time. While most peopl

7、e will still probably need, and be, to some extent, clock-timers, task-based timing should be used when we are performing a job that requires more creativity. Itll make those tasks easier, and the task-doers will be happier.1.What does the author say about clock-based work?A.It makes workers very ti

8、red.B.It reminds workers to come to the office on time.C.It makes workers aware of the precious time.D.It may have a bad effect on the creativity.2.What did Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier find in their experiments about clock-timers?A.They seized opportunities as they came up.B.They always got t

10、 scientific standard should be adopted in job judgement.BBefore leaving work, Steve Lee likes to use his cell phone to turn on his heat and air conditioning system at home.

Steve did have permission to log on(登录).“If you do know the passw

14、ord and you want to play a trick on your wife, you could turn lights on and off remotely. ”This new technology, which can automatically turn on water sprinklers when humidity is low, or turn off a pool pump when it is not in use, is no longer expensive. Several hundred dollars for a basic system is

15、enough and it is not hard to install.Sure the convenience is nice but many people who like the security advantages like making sure kids are safe with the help of camera monitors and bedside alerts. “I can notice that maybe one of my children wakes up in the middle of the night once the light switch

19、reen Isle of Wight (IOW). The Isle of Wight is one of the main tourist attractions.

26、t to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑的)in Japan because most streets there dont have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hot

27、el and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop. ”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people w

Turn east, and then go another mile.People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask

29、. “Oh,” they answer, “Its about five minutes from here. You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They dont know.Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes.
