Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped al a gas station about 50 miles away from
Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收银台）,I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would lake me to my friend's. We chatted on the way to the city, and I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterwards, I received a Christmas present from them, Their note that came with it said helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池）was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership-a shop selling cars-was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

When you think about a deadly animal, you may think of a shark, a lion, or even an elephant. However, the truth is that the deadliest animal in the world is much smaller and more annoying. 1.And it feeds on human blood, transporting numerous diseases from one person to the next. Figure it out, yet? Yes, it's the mosquito.
The numbers don't lie: According to the World Health Organization, more than 725, 000 people worldwide are killed by mosquito-borne diseases each year. These diseases include malaria(疟疾） dengue fever, yellow fever, and encephalitis, 2."Being able to adapt easily to new environments is one of the reasons why mosquitoes are the most deadly, "Bums Blackwell, an expert in pest control said.
3.Mosquitoes have learned to lay eggs in as little as a few small drops of water and each female mosquito can lay between 50 and 500 eggs once. Their populations also reach the highest point at different times in different areas all over the world, making it nearly impossible to avoid being bitten4.
In areas where there' re too many mosquitoes, local authorities try to control the population through routine pesticide(杀虫剂）applications. "We should protect ourselves by avoiding places where there is too much water, "said Bernard Cohen, MD, a professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. 5. Wear bug repellent(驱虫剂）that contains DEET(up to 30 percent)when heading outdoors, and reapply it about every four hours.
A.Most of the diseases can be cured in a short time.
B.There are more than 100 varieties of this thing on earth.
C.He also stresses that a little protection will go a long way.
D.And every bite increases the risk of getting a serious disease.
E.Mosquitoes take much interest in getting in touch with children.
F.Malaria is the most horrible, killing at least 600, 000 people a year.
G.Another reason the insects are so deadly is that they produce quickly.
There will be days when you do not have much to do. Perhaps because you are waiting for someone else in a different department or a different company to respond to a request. As the clock ticks past 5 pm, there may be no purpose in staying at your desk. But you can see you hard at work and, more important. they can see you. So you make an effort to look busy.
Some of this may he a self-perpetuating(白生自存）cycle. If bosses do not like to go home before their workers, and workers fear leaving before their bosses, everyone is trapped. Staff may feel that they will not get a pay rise, or a promotion, if they are not seen to be putting in maximum effort. This is easily confused with long hours. Managers, who are often no good at judging employees 'performance, use time in the office as an alternative.
The consequence is often wasted effort. Rather than work hard, you work hard to make bosses think that you are. Leaving a jacket on your office chair, walking around purposefully with a notebook or clipboard and sending out emails at odd hours are three of the best-known tricks. After a while this can result in collective self-cheat that this pretence is actual work.
But presenteeism(出勤）has more serious consequences. As well as reducing productivity, this can increase medical expenses for the employer. According to a study, these costs can be six times higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers. To take one example, research published in the British Medical Journal found that Japanese employees with lower-back pain were three times more likely to turn up for work than in Britain. As a result, those workers were more likely to experience greater pain and to suffer from depression. What could be more upset than being in pain while feeling trapped at work?
None of this is to say that employers haven't the right to expect workers to be in the office for an acceptable proportion of time. Unavoidably there will be a need for some(preferably short)meetings. Dealing with colleagues face-to-face creates a feeling of trust and friendship, allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their needs.
But modern machinery like smartphones and laptops is portable. It can be used as easily at home as in the office. Turing an office into a prison, with prisoners allowed home for the evenings, does nothing for the creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated. To be productive you need presence of mind, not being present in the flesh.
1.Why do employees still stay at their desk after work?
A.To keep their bosses company.
B.To get more overtime allowance.
C.To put extra efforts into their work.
D.To give their bosses a good impression.
2.One of the consequences of presenteeism is that___________?
A.employers will pay workers higher wages
B.workers will suffer physically and mentally
C.workers will perform their job more efficiently
D.the effort put in by workers will finally pay off
3.Working in the office for some time can help_________?
A.build better social bonds
B.bring bosses more profits
C.organize a meeting efficiently
D.satisfy workers 'material needs
4.What would the author probably agree with?
A.Presenteeism can't help develop creativity.
B.Absence from work reduces productivity.
C.Presence at work will be more joyful.
D.Technology makes life puzzling.
