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.

【主题句】最后一个自然段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. 研究人员说，解决办法是老板告诉员工，下班后的电子邮件不一定需要在下一个工作日之前回复，还可以设置下班后哪些时段发邮件是允许的，哪些是禁止的，比如在晚餐时间、周末或晚上10点之后不发送电子邮件。
【解析】题目意为“如果你是一家公司政策制定者，你会做什么？”选项A意为“要求及时回复邮件。”；选项B意为“放弃下班后邮件”；选项C意为“告诉员工下班后的邮件不一定要回复。”；选项D意为“限制下班时间的电子邮件。”结合主题句，故选D。

第2题：

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 housewives
B.their home is also a place for kicking back
C.there is often much housework left behind
D.it is difficult for them to leave their office

答案：A

解析：

推理题【命题思路】这是一道推理题。主要考查考生精准理解原文定位信息，查找相互关联，并进行适度推理的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键信息“blurring of…roles”定位到第三段末句“With the blurring of roles，…”。但从中并不能找到答案，故推测答案在上文，最终锁定在“For many men,the end of the workday is…，with the blurring of role…”。意思是“对男性而言，一天工作结束后他们便可以休息，但对女性来说，离开办公室之后，还有很多家务活”。由此可以推出，“The blurring of working women's roles”指的是女性既要上班又要照顾家庭。综合判断，确定A项为最佳答案。【干扰排除】B项为反向干扰，原文指出女性下班回家后，还有很多家务要做，故排除。C项以偏概全，只强调了“the blurring roles”中“家务活”这个方面，故排除。D项是张冠李戴，选项内容属于“women who stay home”的信息，故排除。

【关键词】 inferred from first paragraph
【主题句】第一自然段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.在工作日结束时离开工作，或者（对于Shamel）在周五离开工作，直到你在正常工作时间返回办公室，才会检查你的电子邮件，这几乎被认为是该“遭天谴”的行为。
【解析】题目意为“从第一自然段可以推断出什么？”选项A意为“如果你一直查看邮件，那就太遗憾了”；选项B意为“员工们愿意在工作日的最后一天离开工作”；选项C意为“虽然不是工作时间，但员工们还是被期望回复邮件”；选项D意为“工作邮件是员工日常生活的一部分” ，根据主题句，重返公司后才查看邮件的行为是有些“遭天谴”的，因此推断可知，即使在工作时间，员工也被期望回复邮件。
故选C。

Why the study said people are“Exhausted But Unable to Disconnect”?

A.Because they never know what kind of work requests will be asked off hours.

C.Because smart phones and tables keep us connected all the time.
D.None of above.

第9题：

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 TIME
Face 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.
