¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿ Digital technology¡ªemail and smart phones especially¡ªhave vastly improved workers' ability to be productive outside of a traditional office. Even so, most white-collar work still happens in an office. One reason is that, according to findings of a new survey of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix, most bosses are doubtful about remote working. Half of the workers say their boss doesn't accept it, and only 35 percent say it's tolerated.

Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced by the same survey, which shows that 43 percent of workers say they've watched TV or a movie while ¡°working¡± remotely, while 35 percent have done housework, and 28 percent have cooked dinner.

It is true, however, that working at home makes people much more efficient, because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done. It's much faster, for example, to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-work rush.

The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we haven't come as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker.

More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something of value. Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who haven't worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home. Under such circumstances, smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough flexibility to manage their time efficiently.

¡¾1¡¿What does digital technology contribute to?

A.Promoting production£®B.Hiring more white-collar workers£®

C.Conducting a new research£®D.Removing bosses' doubt£®

¡¾2¡¿What seems to be most workers' attitude toward remote working?

A.Doubtful.B.Favorable.

C.Reserved.D.Disapproving.

¡¾3¡¿What does the author suggest smart firms do?

A.Shorten their office hours.B.Give employees a pay raise.

C.Adopt flexible work patterns.D.Reduce their staff¡¯s workload.

Wildlife Secrets of Nigeria¡¯s Last Wilderness

Researchers from Chester Zoo, working with the Nigeria National Park Service, surveyed over 1,000 square kilometres of the national park. Known ¡¾1¡¿ its mountain rainforests and rolling grasslands, it is home to some of West Africa¡¯s most threatened animals.

The cameras ¡¾2¡¿ (spot) some animals that have never been recorded before in the area and others, like chimps(ºÚÐÉÐÉ), ¡¾3¡¿ are rarely seen. Stuart Nixon, the Africa Field Programme Co-ordinator at Chester Zoo, said confirmation of the locations of chimps was an important discovery. ¡°Gashaka¡¯s been regarded for many years as ¡¾4¡¿ (have) the biggest population of this Nigeria-Cameroon chimp,¡± he said. ¡°We consider it the most important population¡ªthat¡¯s really ¡¾5¡¿ we need to count it and see what the status of the chimp is right now¡ªthat will eventually affect what we know about this subspecies elsewhere.¡±

The chimp ¡¾6¡¿ (endanger) across its range in Cameroon and Nigeria. Its total population is down to fewer than 9,000 individuals, of which about 1,000 are thought ¡¾7¡¿ (live) within the borders of the national park. ¡°It¡¯s an amazing tool to use these camera traps and to reveal that this park¡ªwhich is a ¡¾8¡¿ (forget) wilderness, really, for Nigeria¡ªstill has a really important store of important species for Nigeria and Africa in general,¡± said Stuart Nixon.

Chester Zoo is funding guards for the rangers and providing training in wildlife monitoring and protection. ¡°This work is helping us learn more about the secrets of one of our last wilderness areas and we must continue to work together to ensure ¡¾9¡¿ survival for future generations,¡± said Stuart Nixon, ¡° ¡¾10¡¿ all this beauty were lost, it would be a terrible tragedy for all.¡±

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿ The bad health effects of sleep loss during the week can¡¯t be repaid by longer weekend sleep, according to a new study.

Researchers have long known that sleep deprivation (°þ¶á) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks. But for those who force themselves out of bed every weekday after too few hours of shut eye, they hope turning off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.

The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep during a weekend recovery period, people in a sleep lab who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced disorders that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of sleep loss, those gains were wiped out when people fell right back into their same sleep deprived schedule the next Monday.

'If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they're gone when you go back to your daily schedule. It's very short lived', said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology lab at the University of Colorado at Boulder. 'These health effects are long term. It's kind of like smoking once was-people would smoke and wouldn't see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be.'

Wright said that the study suggests people should put sleep in the first place cutting out the 'sleep stealers' such as watching television shows or spending time on their phones. Even when people don't have a choice about losing sleep because of child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about getting sleep in the same way they would get a healthy diet or exercise.

¡¾1¡¿What does the underlined word 'rushes' mean?

A.Ruins.B.Guarantees.

C.Deepens.D.Arouses.

¡¾2¡¿What will Kenneth Wright agree with?

A.Smoking is more harmful than sleep loss.

B.Weekend recovery sleep has many benefits.

C.Smoking and sleep loss have the same bad effects.

D.It takes long for people to see the effects of sleep loss.

¡¾3¡¿What does Kenneth Wright advise people to do?

A.Take regular exercise every day.

B.Reduce the screen time before sleep.

C.Watch some TV shows before bedtime.

D.Sleep as long as possible during weekdays.

¡¾4¡¿What is the main purpose of this passage?

A.To share some unhappy experiences.B.To show some unknown facts.

C.To promote a healthy lifestyle.D.To introduce a new study.
