Apologize to No OneIn the past two weeks Ive taken three naps at work, a total of an hour or so of shut-eye while on the clock. And I have no shame or uncertainty about doing it. I couldnt feel be

28、tter about it, and my productivity reflects it ,too.Sleeping on the job is one of those workplace taboos-like leaving your desk for lunch or taking an afternoon walk-that were taught to look down on. If someone naps at 2 p. m. while the rest of us furiously write memosandrespondto emails,surelyit mu

30、a greater period of time. But a growing field of occupational and psychological research is building the case for restfulness in pursuit of greaterproductivity.Companies are suffering from tremendous productivity problems because people are stressed out and not recovering from the workday, said Josh

32、rk is far from widespread, experts said. Few among us have the luxury of being able to step away for a half-hour snoozefest. But lunch hours and coffee breaks can be great times to duck out, and your increased productivity and alertness will be all the evidence you need to make your case to inquirin

33、g bosses.In an ideal world, wed all solve this problem by unplugging early and getting a good nights sleep. Heres our guide on how to do just that .But the next best thing is stealing away for a quick power nap when youre dragging after lunch.In a study published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers

34、tested subjects on their perceptual performance four times throughout the Performance deteriorated with each test, but subjects who took a 30-minute nap between tests stopped the deterioration in performance, and those who took a 60-minute nap even reversedit.“Naps had the same magnitude of benefits

35、 as full nights of sleep if they had a quality of nap.” said Sara Mednick, a co-author of the study and associate professor of psychology at the University ofCalifornia, Riverside.Mednick, a sleep researcher and the author of a Nap! Change Life , said daytime napping can have many of the benefits of

36、 overnight sleep, and different types of naps offer specificbenefits.For example, Mednick said a 20-to 60-minute nap might help with memorization and learning specific bits of information. just long enough to enter stage-two sleep, or non-rapid eye movement (R.E.M.)sleep.After 60 minutes, you start

37、getting into R.E.M. sleep, most often associated with that deep, dreaming state we all enjoy at night R.E.M. sleep can improve creativity, perceptual processing and highly associativethinking , which allows you to make connections between disparate ideas, Dr. Mednick said. Beyond that , your best be

38、t is a 90-minute nap, which will give you a full sleep cycle.Any nap, however, can help with alertness and perception and cut through the general fog that creeps in during the experts said.So how did we even arrive at this point where aptitude is inextricably tied (緊密相連) to working long,concentrated

Blame technology, but think broader than smartphones and laptops; the real issue is that tech has enabled us to be available at all times. went through a period where people were in denial and business leaders were ignoring it, ”Bersin said. “They were assuming that if we give people more to

40、ols, more emails, more Slack , more chatter, and well just assume they can figure out how to deal with it all. And I think theyve woken up to the fact that this is a big problem , and it is affecting productivity, engagement, health, safety, wellness and all sorts of things.”It isnt just office work

41、ers who can benefit from an afternoon siesta (午睡). A study published in Current Biology looked at the at the sleeping habits of three hunter-gatherer preindustrial societies in Tanzania, Namibia andBolivia.“Theyre active in the morning, then they get in the shade under the trees and have a sort of q

Center for Sleep Research, a co-author of the study. “ Then they do some work and go to sleep, and they sleep through thenight.”Still, Siegel said, “the

43、only genuine way to solve daytime sleepiness and fatigue starts the night before with a solid nights sleep.” The real Holy Grail of restfulness is a regular sleep schedule with ideally seven or eight hours of sleep each night, which experts say isoptimal.“Daytime napping certainly does increase aler

44、tness,” Siegel said. “But not as simple as going to the gas station and filling the tank.”He also advises avoiding caffeine late in the day and waking around the same time every morning, even if you cant get to sleep at the same time every night, This helps acclimate使適應) your body to your regular wa

Any longer than that and youre likely to wake up with sleep inertia ( 睡 眠 惰性) ，which will leave you even groggier (頭腦昏沉的) than before.Participants perceptual performance became be

For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line thro

52、ugh thecentre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Every office worker hates meetings. But a strange sort of hate, similar to the hatred of Londoners for the Northern Line, or New for tourists who walk too slowly: the dislike is real, yet if the despised thing were to van

53、ish, itd be like surrendering a piece of your soul.When researchers probed into why people put up with the strain that meetings place on their time and sanity, they found something-those who resent and dread meetings the moat also defend them as a “necessary evil”, sometimes with great passion. True

54、, research suggests that meetings take up vastly more of the average managers time than they used to. True, done badly, theyre associated with lower levels of innovation and employee wellbeing (幸福) .But thats just office life , right? Its not supposed to be fun. Thats why they call it work.Underlyin

55、g(引起) this attitude is an assumption thats drummed into us not just as workers but as children,parents and romantic partners; that more communication is always a good thing. So suggestions abound for (大量存 在 ) communicating better in meetings-for example, hold them standing up, so speakers will come

56、to the point more quickly. But even when some companies consider abolishing meetings entirely, the principle that more communication is better isnt questioned. If anything, its reinforced when such firms introduce “flat” management structures, with bosses always available to everyone, plus plenty of

57、 electronic distraction. In fact, constant connectivity is disastrous for both job satisfaction and the bottom line.And anyway, once you give it three seconds thought , isnt it cleat that more communication frequently isnt a good thing? Often, the difference between a successful marriage and a secon

At work, surely many more than four, though for a different reason; office communication comes at the cost of precisely the kind of focus thats essential to good work. were so accustomed to seeing talking as a source of solution
