Distinguish Between Work and Home Modes
When working at home, slowly moving from bed to the sofa five minutes before you start can also be your biggest challenge. 1.. It is necessary that you should set yourself up the right way.
* Be realistic
A wide, open day working from home can feel full of possibilities. 145 things on the to-do list? No problem! 2. Instead, be realistic and then possibly achieve more than you set out to, and feel satisfied, rather than feeling disappointed, if you didn't do everything.
* 3.
In the office your day is broken up by everything from meetings to lunch breaks and even toilet breaks, but when you are at home, it can be easy to just work for long, unbroken periods. In order to be productive, you should impose structure on yourself, for example, 45-minute to 60-minute chunks of focused work followed by a short break. 4.
* Take some breaks
It can be difficult to tear yourself away from your laptop, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take breaks. Leave your desk for lunch and take advantage of being at home to walk the dog for half an hour in the afternoon. You'll return feeling refreshed and more productive for the rest of the day.
* Be sociable
5. Unless you're self-isolating, working from home shouldn't mean that you don't leave the house at all or don't see anyone for two weeks. Ensure you still keep up social interaction. If you're the kind of person who'll miss your colleagues when you work from home, build opportunities for socializing into your day.
A.Work in short bursts
B.Manage disturbances
C.Don't fall into the trap of being over-ambitious
D.However, don't forget that you are there to work
E.Try to call your friends rather than send messages
F.It's hard to maintain concentration in a new environment
G.This can be effective to break the day up and keep focused
Put "crottin de chevre," into Google Translate, and you'll be told it means goat dung (waste). So if it appears on a menu, you may pass. Alas! You will rule out a delicious cheese made of goats5 milk that is often served as a starter in France.
Such misunderstandings are why Google Translate is not intended to replace human translators. Tourists might accept a few misunderstandings because the technology is cheap and convenient, but when in business, law or medicine, these services often fall short. " Using Google Translate can lead to some serious errors, especially when words have multiple meanings, which is often the case in fields such as law and engineering, " says Samantha Langley, a court-approved French — to — English legal translator in France.
That is not to say professional translators do not use computer assisted translation (CAT) tools. One of the most popular new tools is the translation earpiece. Usually paired with a smart-phone app, they pick up spoken foreign languages and translate them. For conferences, wearable translation tools like Waverly's are undoubtedly popular. But even this new generation tech has limitations. Users must wait at least a few seconds for a phrase to be translated, or more if the Internet connection is poor. And computers still lack the subtlety (微妙之处)of human communication.
"If you want to create a relationship with the user, you need a human translator to make sound natural and capture the sentiment, which often involves restructuring a sentence completely, says Zoey Cooper, director at Wordbank. "I believe CAT tools get in the way of creativity, " says Antonio Navarro Gosalvez, an English-to- Spanish translator in Spain.
Mr. Ochoa Spencer, chief executive of US start-up Waverly Labs, thinks this problem could be resolved within the next 10 years. "When it comes to expressing emotion and intonation, we need sentiment analysis, which may well be in ten years time, " he says. Yet, nowadays foreign language skills are still in demand in the labour market.
1.The writer uses the example of "crottin de chevre" to ______.
A.criticize Google Translate B.regret missing the cheese
C.bring in the main topic D.introduce a starter in France
2.How is Google Translate according to Paragraph 2?
A.Precise and cheap. B.Cheap but inaccurate.
C.Convenient and effective. D.Fast but incorrect.
3.Who might have a different opinion on Al translation?
A.Samantha Langley. B.Zoey Cooper.
C.Antonio Navarro Gosalvez. D.Ochoa Spencer.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.The various disadvantages of Google Translate.
B.The chances of human translators being replaced by AI.
C.The difference between computer and human translation.
D.The disappearance of human translators in the near future.
Let’s play a word game. What word can be put in front of the words “stick, maker and point” to make three new compound words? Ready for the answer? Match. Match will combine to make the words “match-stick, match-maker and match-point”. And the point of tasks like this is to measure creativity.
Maybe you have music playing as you think about the words. And, of course, many listen to music while they work. So Emma Threadgold, a cognitive psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire in England, and her colleagues recently used such word puzzles to investigate whether listening to music affects creativity. They asked volunteers to solve 19 puzzles, while listening to either a foreign-language tune, an instrumental version of the same song, a familiar English-language tune, or silence. In every case, volunteers listening to music solved fewer puzzles than their counterparts in total quiet, suggesting that background music does not really aid this kind of creative task. Besides, the researchers tested library noise as well, like the sounds of typing and rustling papers. None of those noises decreased volunteers’ performance at all, compared to the silent control group.
The results are in the journal Applied Cognitive Psychology. Still, if you do insist on listening to music while working, you might try something a little more low-key than Lady Gaga, says Threadgold’s colleague John Marsh. A sound with a lot of changes in state information or pitches is more disruptive (干扰的) than one with fewer of those changes. So if you compared a modern pop song with some classical music, you’d expect less disruption from that classical music, just as in actual silence.
1.What is the purpose of the word game mentioned in the passage?
A.To make fun with others. B.To test memory.
C.To evaluate creativity. D.To create new words.
2.Why can the volunteers in total quiet solve more puzzles?
A.Because they can concentrate on the problems.
B.Because other groups are not as clever as them.
C.Because other groups are into listening to music.
D.Because they are better at word puzzle games.
3.What can we infer from Emma Threadgold and her colleagues’ experiment?
A.Volunteers in library can do as well as the ones in quiet.
B.Library noises can affect the volunteers’ performance.
C.Sound has a negative influence on one’s creativity.
D.Those who listen to foreign songs perform worse.
4.If you do insist on listening to music while working, which one is the best?
A.Fast-paced songs. B.High-key songs.
C.Pop music. D.Classic music.
