【题目】 Let's face it: The last hour of anyone's workday is not always fruitful. As the hours of peak productivity start to decline, most people begin watching the clock, waiting for nothing.1“How positively you end your professional day can promote success both inside and outside of the office,” says Randi Levin, a transitional life strategist. Let's see how successful people end their workday with a bang.

Successful people reflect on their accomplishments. While many of us spend our last hour of work making a to-do list for tomorrow, they review the day they just had, instead.2Similarly, Levin recommends writing down the day's wins rather than setbacks or to-dos, as well as reviewing your list of successes once a month. It will prove your professional growth and bring more joy into your job.

Also, successful people brainstorm solutions for today's setbacks.3Instead, they end their day by thinking carefully about the problems they met, brainstorming possible solutions, and then leaving it for tomorrow. They will settle those problems after a good night's sleep.

4Rather than detailing the tasks that need to get done, this kind of list encourages people to focus on finding solutions for their projects. “Forget the horrible 'to-do' list,” Levin says, “before heading to happy hour, write down three to five goals you have for the next 24 hours.5It will provide you with not only a concrete and positive way to begin tomorrow, but also it will allow you to see much more possibilities.”

A.This list is a promise to yourself.

B.Successful people make a to-do list.

C.It will make people understand the problems better.

D.They never bring the day's failures home with them.

E.Another work these people do is to create an action list.

F.But ending the workday with purpose can make a difference.

G.They typically choose a case and consider what led to that success.

【题目】 As anyone who freelances (做自由职业) knowsthere are lots of advantages of working at home alone. But there are drawbacks toolike the potential loneliness. No wonder coworking spaces are becoming so popularthey permit selfemployed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environmentwhile making them get some work done too. But renting a coworking space does cost money.

Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s underused homes into temporary coworking spacesavailable to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great successand the project has since spread to a number of cities in EuropeNorth and South AmericaAustraliaIndia and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free coworking spaceor go to find a Hoffice near them.

On a Hoffice dayeveryone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minuteseveryone gets up to take a breakstretchdo qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwardspeople can gather around againand restate their intentions and goals for the rest of the work dayas a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hourpotluckstyle (家常饭) or by bringing your own lunch.

This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe“By working at Hofficewe give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environmentwhere we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calmhappyinspired and creative during the working day.”

So Hoffice is not just about sharing spaceit’s also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use.
