Business travelers find that some jobs take them away from home for longer than a few days at a time. Those who find themselves at a new job site for weeks or even months often find it more comfortable a

36、nd economical to stay at an apartment-hotel rather than a traditional style hotel. The comfort and convenience of these short-term residences are making them more and more popular among frequent business travelers. They provide advantages that more luxurious traditional hotels do not. Apartment-hote

37、ls offer both small and full-size apartments that are available to rent on a weekly or monthly basis. Apartments are fully furnished with everything from sofas and writing desks to dishes and silverware. They also usually include cable TV service and Internet access. Best of all, they are run like h

38、otels, with cleaning and linen services, exercise rooms and restaurants, and a desk clerk to take messages and help tenants with questions about the city. In addition, the prices are much more reasonable than the rates normally charged at a traditional hotel. One of the reasons that many apartment-h

39、otels are economically priced is that they are often not found in a citys downtown area. This is not necessarily a disadvantage, however. They are usually conveniently located near public transportation, so the expense of a rental car is not always necessary. In short, apartment-hotels offer a conve

40、nient alternative to the business traveler, as they are more cost-effective than traditional hotels and more comfortable than hastily furnished apartments. Many business travelers find that apartment-hotels are as comfortable as it is possible to be away from home.Who would be likely to use an apart

Surveys have found that wages and benefits are not always the major determ

42、ining factor for employees who are looking to move between jobs. David Bikowski is a case in point. Last year he was laid off from his production job at a factory where he had worked for close to eight years. After several months of searching for a new job, he found employment at another factory in

43、a nearby town. Although he would earn $100 a week less in the new position than he did at his old one, he took the job. He has a family to support and couldnt afford to stay out of work much longer. Just a few months after starting at his new position, he received an offer to return to his old job a

44、t his old salary. Bikowski decided to turn the offer down. Why Because, he says, he finds that his new workplace is much less stressful than the old one. Weve been able to get by on what Ive been earning at Strathmore (his new employer), and I know Ill be getting the usual raises as time goes on, he

45、 explains. And its better for my family in ways that money cant pay for. Im more relaxed when I get home, I have better quality time with my kids. Thats worth more than money to me. Bikowski represents a growing sentiment among the countrys workforce. More and more workers are looking for less stres

46、sful lives, sociologists say. Work conditions are often given equal weight with wages and benefits when job decisions are made.Why did David Bikowski leave his job A(A) He wanted a promotion.B(B) He was fired.C(C) He wanted more money.D(D) He was laid off. 11.Questions 163-167 refer to the following memo.
