Nowadays, to work remotely, all you need...

    Nowadays, to work remotely, all you need are a computer and an Internet connection. According to a new study, employees who can work from anywhere else are generally happier than those who work onsite(现场的)in an office.

Video conferencing company Owl Labs surveyed 1,202 full-time US workers from the ages of 22 to 65, and discovered that 62 percent of the respondents worked remotely at least some of the time and 38 percent worked onsite. Of the remote workers, 49 percent worked remotely full-time.

As it turns out, working remotely—or the idea of it—makes people happy, 83 percent of the survey respondents agree that the ability to work remotely would make them happier, and 71 percent of workers who do get to work remotely said their job makes them happy, compared with 55 percent of office-only workers.

In the study, full-time remote workers said they're happy in their job, 22 percent more than people who never work remotely. The reasons why respondents said they decided to work remotely were better work-life balance(91 percent), increased productivity/better focus(79 percent), less stress(78 percent), and to avoid a commute(通勤)(78 percent).

One reason why remote workers might be happier is that they were more than twice as likely to earn more than $100,000 per year. And the higher they were on the corporate(公司的)ladder, the more likely survey respondents were to have the privilege of working remotely: The job levels with the greatest percentages of remote workers were founder/CEO-level(55 percent)and vice president(46 percent).

Loyalty is another factor: Remote workers are 13 percent more likely than non-remote workers to stay with their current job for the next five years—making remote work a win-win for employees and employers alike.

Not only are remote employees happier, but they are prepared to work longer hours, according to the report. Remote workers said they work over 40 hours per week, 43 percent more than on-site workers do.

A.49 percent work remotely full-time.

1.D 2.A 3.C 4.B 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了远程工作让人感觉更快乐,远程工作员工的收入更高,且对职位的忠诚度也更高。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段的Video conferencing company Owl Labs surveyed 1,202 full-time US workers from the ages of 22 to 65, and discovered that 62 percent of the respondents worked remotely at least some of the time and 38 percent worked onsite.(视频会议公司猫头鹰实验室调查了1202名年龄在22到65岁的全职美国员工,发现62%的受访者至少在某些时间远程工作,38%的人在办公室现场办公)可知,只在办公室工作的员工大概占受访者的40%。D. About 40 percent are office-only workers.(大约40%的员工只在办公室工作)符合以上说法,故选D项。 2. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的Loyalty is another factor: Remote workers are 13 percent more likely than non-remote workers to stay with their current job for the next five years (忠诚是另一个因素。远程员工在未来五年里留在现有工作岗位可能性比非远程员工高13%)可推测,和远程员工相比,只在办公室工作的员工对工作没有那么忠诚。A. less loyal(不那么忠诚)符合以上说法,故选A项。 3. 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的And the higher they were on the corporate(公司的)ladder, the more likely survey respondents were to have the privilege of working remotely: (在公司的阶层越高,接受调查的员工越有远程工作的特权。)可知,一个员工的阶层越高,越有可能远程工作。C. work remotely(远程工作)符合以上说法,故选C项。 4. 主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其第一段的According to a new study, employees who can work from anywhere else are generally happier than those who work onsite(现场的)in an office.(根据一项新的研究,可以在任何地方工作的员工通常比那些只能在办公室现场办公的人更幸福),第二段的As it turns out, working remotely—or the idea of it—makes people happy(正如结果所示,远程工作让人幸福)和第五段的One reason why remote workers might be happier is that they were more than twice as likely to earn more than $100,000 per year.(远程工作的员工更加幸福的原因之一是,他们年薪超过10万美元的可能性是非远程员工的两倍多)可知,本文主要讲述了远程工作给员工带来的好处。B. The benefits of working remotely.(远程工作的好处)符合以上说法,故选B项。

    Last summer, I had to stay in the room during the period of my recovery from cancer after the operation. It was unexpected that life highlighted everything that I might tend to take for granted in the normal course.

On the first morning, my children presented me a coffee pot. I liked to begin the day with a cup of coffee and was eager to try the pot.

When I made coffee, it spilled out over the whole table. Fortunately, nobody was there to see my embarrassed look! I kept trying, but each morning would see me wiping up the coffee. Then I realized that if I poured very slowly there would be no spilling.

This was at first a very painful experience. My normal practice was to rush through breakfast so that I could get on with my day. But at that moment I learned not only to pour slowly but to enjoy the experience: the smell, the taste, and the stillness of a new day.

It helped me to reflect upon whether there were other areas of my life 1 was rushing through. Most of life, it seemed. Strangely, those we consider loved ones may go of radar(雷达)when we would expect them to enquire about our well-being. However, others we seldom keep in touch with came into our lives suddenly, full of concern, well-meaning advice and love.

After the recovery period, I started to leave extra time to do even the most ordinary tasks. When shop owners would apologize for keeping me waiting, I would say, "Not a problem, I'm not in a hurry." Even hanging out washing became pleasurable when a couple of extra minutes of standing still, and listening to the birds singing in the trees around me became part of my routine.

Besides, one of my favorite experiences living in the inner city for many years was sitting on the front doorstep of our home spending time with strangers. We sat on the steps, each of us with a cup of coffee in our hands, listening to each other's stories. It was one of the warmest things about living in a busy city.

1.What was the author's life like before the time of recovery from the illness?

A.Awkward. B.Relaxing.

C.Hurried. D.Thrilling.

2.How did the author enjoy the pouring-coffee experience?

A.By pilling coffee over the table. B.By buying a new pot.

C.By chatting with the strangers. D.By pouring coffee slowly.

3.What happened when the author changed her lifestyle?

A.She had more time for reflecting on her past.

B.She found joy in ordinary daily activities.

C.She became impatient with any shop owner.

D.She liked listening to mysteries in busy cities.

4.What is the main purpose of this article?

A.To tell people how to make coffee tasty.

B.To advocate enjoying slow-paced life.

C.To show the gift from her children.

D.To recommend making friends with others.

Belmont Hotel Manila

8.6 Excellent

Based on 6537 reviews.

This is one of the most expensive hotels in Manila as it's near the international airport. My favorite thing about our stay in the hotel was the rooftop view from the top floor of the hotel where the pool was also located. The staff were also very helpful. There's a coffee shop Starbucks on the same building of the hotel and there are a couple of restaurants around the Resorts World area which are easily accessible from the hotel. This hotel turned out to be better than we had expected and it's a great value for your money.

Hyatt Regency Manila City of Dreams

8.8 Excellent

Based on 1785 reviews

Overall, we had a great stay at the Hyatt City of Dreams. There was a minor issue with our room and the Assistant Manager handled our concerns and took care of the situation. The customer service was well deserving of five stars. The rooms are new, modern. We have been to the Philippines many times and we will for sure stay here again next time we are in Manila. Amazing food, new rooms and the best customer service experience: TRONGLY RECOMMENDED.

BSA Twin Tower Ortigas

7.8 Very good

Based on 9984 reviews

We were a group of four and we wanted to stay in any hotel in Manila for the long weekend. The suite was not that spacious but we did not really mind considering the price we paid. The room was equipped with all the basic services. Room also came with free Wi-Fi but the connection was lost at around midnight. The kitchen was also helpful as we were able to cook items we bought from the nearby supermarket. Although the room was inexpensive, the hotel charged us extra for services that I believe are free in other hotels.
