With your workload growing, you may be telling yourself a vacation is one luxury (奢侈) you can't afford. But the truth is that you can't afford not to take one. A vacation allows you the opportunity to recharge (充电) your physical and emotional batteries, disconnect from everyday concerns, and return to work rested and refreshed. Some facts have proved employees are more productive after a vacation than before one. Here are some tips for you to plan your vacation to make sure that your time away from the office is worry free.

　 Time is right. A Robert Half survey shows that July and August are the most favorable months for employees to take a break because these months offer ideal beach weather and many businesses slow down during this time. When planning your vacation, remember to take into account any activity that your department will be focused on during that time. For instance, if a big task is planned for the summer, you may consider putting off your trip until the fall.

　 Ask others for assistance. Ask trusted colleagues to handle your projects while you're away. Your supervisor can help you determine who is the most qualified for a particular task.

　 Let your contacts know. Give colleagues and customers you frequently work with a few weeks' notice before you start off. This will give them enough time to plan for your absence.

　 Conduct a technical review. Before you leave, make sure there is plenty of room in your e?mail inbox so that you don't exceed (超越) your storage limit while you're out of the office, which might prevent you from sending messages when you return. Also make sure passwords won't expire (过期) while you are away.

　 In short, taking vacation is necessary and beneficial for your job. But you must plan your vacation properly in order to be work?free and worry?free on holiday.

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.

　 Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

　 The amount of stress a person can bear depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight”. And in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.

　 So what do you think of stress? What is your way to deal with it？

　　In the past few decades, the popular belief (相信) has been that happy workers are better workers. However, new research at the University of Alberta shows sad workers are more productive.

　　Psychologist Dr. Robert Sinclair and his former Ph. D student Carrie Lavis recently did a series (系列) of four studies on the effects of happiness or sadness on work productivity (生产率) by asking the workers to build circuit boards (电路板). In the first study, sad people made fewer mistakes than happy people did, about half the number of mistakes, but there was no difference in the number of boards completed.

　　In similar studies Sinclair and Lavis found the same results along with fact that happy people might not devote as much energy to the task in order to keep their happy moods (情绪). They thought of that task as something that might take away from their present feelings. On the contrary, sad people appeared to be devoting energy to the task in order to draw away themselves from their sad feelings.“It is important to know that the moods were not with the task,”said Sinclair, “Unhappiness is coming from something else.”

　　These finding are not surprising, said Sinclair, since there has been a growing body of literature (文学) in the area of social psychology (心理学) showing that sad moods lead to more deep thought and often more thoughtful or right judgements.

In Sinclair's studies afterwards, when people believed that the task would make them feel good, they devoted more energy to the job. The bottom line, which must be accepted, said Sinclair, is that it is important for organizations to consider the feelings of their employees (雇员). It seems it could be useful to create situations that lead people to believe that performing their jobs will cause them to feel good—this could cause increases in motivation (动机) and excellent performance.

A．the company should try to make workers realize their jobs will make them feel good

2．When the task makes sad workers feel good, they are ________.

A．unlikely to feel sad again

C．Moods are connected with workers' performance.
