She was supposed to be paying her debt to society, but as Naomi Campbell was walking to work for her community（社区）service she was the one being paid.

Campbell, 36, has never looked so happy ― and no wonder. Her five-day community service sentence in New York has served as the basis of a fashion shoot for W magazine, the monthly companion to Women's Wear Daily, which is regarded as the American rag trade bible.

W's editorial director, Patrick McCarthy, said the 20-page feature would run in the July issue.

"We're having great fun watching her every day," he said. "It's going to make a great story … Naomi was very keen to do it, she thought it would be a lot of fun."

Campbell has used the short walk from her car to the doors of the Sanitation（卫生）Department's District 3 Garage as a catwalk, each day presenting a new suit carefully matched with must-have sunglasses and handbags.

Her agency, IMG, says Campbell's basic rate is about £25,000 ($A60,000) a day.

News that Campbell had used what was supposed to be a punishment ― she mopped floors and cleaned toilets ― as a promotional money-spinner has angered New Yorkers.

New York lawyer Raoul Felder said that while there was nothing illegal about Campbell's deal, her behaviour had "made a mockery of our system of justice and insulted（侮辱）every hard-working person in this city".

Campbell was sentenced in January to five days' community service after admitting she’d been guilty to throwing a mobile phone at an assistant.

The ability to do several things at once has become one of the great measures of self-worth for 21-century Americans. It is called multitasking, and it takes many forms. As one example, why go out to lunch when you can eat at your desk, talk to a client on the phone, scroll through your e-mail, and scan a memo simultaneously? And why simply work out on treadmill (单调的工作) when you could be watching television and talking on a portable phone at the same time? What a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment --- three activities for the time commitment of one! Ah, such efficiency. No wonder those who turn “to do” lists into a time-management art form tend to boast (自夸): “Look, me, how many things I can accomplish at once. If I’m this busy, I must be important.”
Yet last week the New York Assembly struck a blow against multitasking, at least behind the wheel, when it approved a bill banning drivers in the state from using handheld cellular phones. Too dangerous, the assembly said, citing research showing that drivers are four times more likely to have a collision when they are talking on a cellphone.
No one can argue against using time effectively. But accompanying the supposed gains are losses. Consider the woman out for an early-morning walk in a suburban neighborhood. She strides briskly, head down, cellphone clamped to her ear, chattering (喋喋不休) away, oblivious of the birds and flowers and glorious sunshine. Did the walk have any value?
More than a decade ago, long before multi-tasking became a word in everyday use, a retired professor of theology(神学) in Indiana with whom I corresponded (通信) made a case for what might be called uni-tasking — the old-fashioned practice of doing one thing at a time.
Offering the simplest example, he said, “When you wash the dishes, wash the dishes.” Good advice, I’ve found, whatever the task.
Perhaps, too, the ban on phoning-on-the-road will even spark a move away from other forms of dual activity. Who can tell? It could mark the first step in a welcome reconsideration of what really constitutes productivity and accomplishment.

The ability to do several things at once has become one of the great measures of self-worth for century Americans. It is called multitasking, and it takes many forms. As one example, why go out to lunch when you can eat at your desk, talk to a customer on the phone, look through your e-mail, and scan a report at the same time? And why simply work out on treadmill(单调的工作) when you could be watching TV and talking on a portable phone at the same time? What a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment－three activities for the time commitment of one! Ah, such efficiency. No wonder those who turn “to do” lists into a time-management art form like to boast(吹嘘), “Look, me, how many things I can accomplish at once. If I’m busy, I must be important.”

Yet last week the New York Assembly stuck a blow against multitasking, at least at driving, when it approved a bill banning drivers in the state from using cellphones. “Too dangerous!” the assembly said, with researches showing that drivers are four times more likely to have collision when they are talking on the cellphones.
