Question

【题目】 We all know Google is one of the largest IT companies in the world. But do you know what it is like to work at Google? Is life there stressful?

The answer is “Not at all!”. In fact, it’s fun to work at Google. The American company has the best working environment in its home country.

The working environment at Google is relaxing. The company encourages its staff to do whatever they want to do. Google employees can design their own desks. They can write their ideas on the wall. When they feel tired, they can take a nap on the sofas. Animal lovers can even bring their pets to work!

To its employees, Google is like a community. In addition to offices and meeting rooms, there are game rooms, hair salons (美发厅) and gyms. After work, Google employees can go for a swim in the swimming pool or enjoy a massage.

And there is an interesting rule at Google: No staff member should be 100 feet (about 30 meters) away from food. Cafés, snack bars and restaurants are everywhere. All food is free. In the main cafeteria, there are thousands of different dishes. One Google manager says, “We care about our employees’ health. We encourage them to eat healthily. And our research shows that if people have enough food, they will make better decisions.”

Google also encourages its staff to learn new things. It offers many interesting courses to its employees. The employees can learn sign language (手语), cooking and drawing — all for free.

Google believes one should love his or her workplace in order to work well. That’s why it is trying hard to create the best working environment in the world.
