“Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home,” writes one of the researchers. Sarah Damaske, In fact women say they feel better at work. She notes. “it is men not women. Who report being bappicr at home than at work,” Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with childrcn and without, but more so for nonparents. This is why pcoplc who work outside the home have better health.
What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when they’ re at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women, it’ s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.
But it’s not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing: working, making money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure: Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.
On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done, there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into it, or if they’ re teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus, they’ re your family. You cannot fire your family. You never really get to go home from home.
So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite, the co-workers are much harder to motivate.
According to Paragraph 1，most previous surveys found that home______ .
A.was an un realistic place for relaxation
B.generated more stress than the workplace
C.was an ideal place for stress measurement
D.offered greater relaxation than the workplace
According to Damaske， who are likely to be the happiest at home？A.Working mothers
B.Childless husbands
C.Childless wives
D.Working fathers
The home front differs from the workplace in that______ .A.home is hardly a cozier working environment
B.division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut
C.household tasks are generally more motivating
D.family labor is often adequately rewarded
The word“moola”(Line 4，Para 4)most probably means______ .A.energy
B.skills
C.earnings
D.nutrition
The blurring of working women’s roles refers to the fact that______ .A.they are both bread winners and housewives
B.their home is also a place for kicking back
C.there is often much housework left behind
D.it is difficult for them to leave their office

On weekdays in pubs and bars throughout America, there is the late afternoon happy hour.The time may vary from place to place, but usually it is held from four to seven.After the workday is finished, office workers in larger cities and small towns take a relaxing pause and head off for the nearest bar or pub to be with friends, co-workers and colleagues.Within minutes the pub is filled to capacity with businessmen and secretaries, payroll clerks and stock executives.They gather around the bar and gossip about the intrigues (勾心斗角) of office life or matters more personal.This is their oasis (避风港); the place to free themselves from the day's stress at the office.
At these happy hours, social binding occurs between people who share the same workplace or similar professions.They may gossip about each other or talk about a planned project that has yet to meet a deadline.In this sense, these places become extensions of the workplace and may make up a good portion of one's social life.
These happy hours are those late afternoon chances to relax after work and before returning home.Conversations which may begin quietly and with reserve, rise gradually from a chatter to a roar.The oasis quickly fills up with smoke.Loud laughter may cackle in the air as a way to relieve the tensions of the day.The cheerful mood, heightened by the feeling of relief, competes with a TV broadcasting the latest update of CNN evening news or a sports game already in progress.
(1).How long are happy hours？
A.They are exactly two hours
B.They last as long as there are customers
C.They vary from place to place and the price of drinks.

第5题
A new batch of young women—members of the so-called Millennial (千禧的) generation—has been entering the workforce for the past decade. At the starting line of their careers, they are better educated than their mothers and grandmothers had been—or than their young male counterparts are now. But when they look ahead, they see roadblocks to their success. They believe that women are paid less than men for doing the same job. They think it's easier for men to get top executive jobs than it is for them. And they assume that if and when they have children, it will be even harder for them to advance in their careers.
While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20-30 years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say this country needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with 57% of Millennial men. Even so, relatively few young women (15%) say they have been discriminated against at work because of their gender.
As Millennial women come of age they share many of the same views and values about work as their male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they place relatively little importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women are less likely than men to aim at top management jobs: 34% say they're not interested in becoming a boss or top manager; only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap on this question is even wider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs that go with work and motherhood.
These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2,002 adults, including 810 Millennials (ages 18-32), conducted Oct. 7-27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recent decades, young women view this as a man's world—just as middle-aged and older women do.
86.What do we learn from the first paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers_______
A.They can get ahead only by striving harder.
B.They expect to succeed just like Millennial men.
C.They are generally quite optimistic about their future.
D.They are better educated than their male counterparts.
87.How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace_____
A.They are the target of discrimination.
B.They find it satisfactory on the whole.
C.They think it needs further improving.
D.They find their complaints ignored.
88.What do Millennial women value most when coming of age_____
A.A sense of accomplishment.
B.Job stability and flebility.
C.Rewards and promotions.
D.Joy derived from work.
89.What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about_____
A.The welfare of their children.
B.The narrowing of the gender gap.
C.The fulfillment of their dreams in life.
D.The balance between work and family.
90.What conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey_____
A.They still view this world as one dominated by males.
B.They account for half the workforce in the job market.
C.They see the world differently from older generations.
D.They do better in work than their male counterparts.

(a) The entity uses forward and futures contracts to protect it against fl uctuation in the price of edible oils. Where forwards are used the company often takes delivery of the edible oil and sells it shortly afterwards. The contracts are constructed with future delivery in mind but the contracts also allow net settlement in cash as an alternative. The net settlement is based on the change in the price of the oil since the start of the contract. Seltec uses the proceeds of a net settlement to purchase a different type of oil or purchase from a different supplier. Where futures are used these sometimes relate to edible oils of a different type and market than those of Seltec’s own inventory of edible oil. The company intends to apply hedge accounting to these contracts in order to protect itself from earnings volatility. Seltec has also entered into a long-term arrangement to buy oil from a foreign entity whose currency is the dinar. The commitment stipulates that the fi xed purchase price will be denominated in pounds sterling.
Seltec is unsure as to the nature of derivatives and hedge accounting techniques and has asked your advice on how the above fi nancial instruments should be dealt with in the fi nancial statements. (14 marks)
(b) Seltec has decided to enter the retail market and has recently purchased two well-known brand names in the edible oil industry. One of the brand names has been in existence for many years and has a good reputation for quality. The other brand name is named after a famous fi lm star who has been actively promoting the edible oil as being a healthier option than other brands of oil. This type of oil has only been on the market for a short time. Seltec is fi nding it diffi cult to estimate the useful life of the brands and therefore intends to treat the brands as having indefi nite lives.
In order to sell the oil, Seltec has purchased two limited liability companies from a company that owns several retail outlets. Each entity owns retail outlets in several shopping complexes. The only assets of each entity are the retail outlets. There is no operational activity and at present the entities have no employees.
Seltec is unclear as to how the purchase of the brands and the entities should be accounted for. (9 marks)
Required:
Discuss the accounting principles involved in accounting for the above transactions and how the above transactions should be treated in the fi nancial statements of Seltec.
Professional marks will be awarded in this question for clarity and quality of discussion. (2 marks)
The mark allocation is shown against each of the two parts above.

Since 1970 the authority has had its own internal Information Technology (IT) department. However, there has been increasing criticism of the cost and performance of this department. The CEO has commented that ‘we seem to expand the department to cope with special demands (such as the millennium bug) but the department never seems to shrink back to its original size when the need has passed’. Some employees are lost through natural wastage, but there have never been any redundancies in IT and the labour laws of the nation, and strong trade unions within the authority, make it diffi cult to make staff redundant.
In the last few years there has been an on-going dispute between managers in the IT department and managers in the fi nance function. The dispute started due to claims about the falsifi cation of expenses but has since escalated into a personal battle between the director of IT and the fi nance director. The CEO has had to intervene personally in this dispute and has spent many hours trying to reconcile the two sides. However, issues still remain and there is still tension between the managers of the two departments.
A recent internal human resources (HR) survey of the IT department found that, despite acknowledging that they received above average pay, employees were not very satisfi ed. The main complaints were about poor management, the ingratitude of user departments, (‘we are always being told that we are overheads, and are not core to the business of the authority’) and the absence of promotion opportunities within the department. The ingratitude of users is despite the IT department running a relatively fl exible approach to fulfi lling users’ needs. There is no cross-charging for IT services provided and changes to user requirements are accommodated right up to the release of the software. The director of IT is also critical of the staffi ng constraints imposed on him. He has recently tried to recruit specialists in web services and ‘cloud computing’ without any success. He also says that ‘there are probably other technologies that I have not even heard of that we should be exploring and exploiting’.
The CEO has been approached by a large established IT service company, ProTech, to form. a new company ProTech-Public that combines the public sector IT expertise of the authority with the commercial and IT knowledge of ProTech. The joint company will be a private limited company, owned 51% by ProTech and 49% by the city authority. All existing employees in the IT department and the IT technology of the city authority will be transferred to ProTech who will then enter into a 10 year outsourcing arrangement with the city authority. The CEO is very keen on the idea and he sees many other authorities following this route.
The only exception to this transfer of resources concerns the business analysts who are currently in the IT department. They will be retained by the authority and located in a new business analysis department reporting directly to the CEO.
The CEO has suggested that the business analysts have the brief to ‘deliver solutions that demonstrably offer benefi ts to the authority and to the people of the city, using information technology where appropriate’. They need to be ‘outward looking and not constrained by current processes and technology’. They will also be responsible for liaising between users and the newly outsourced IT company and, for the fi rst time, defi ning business cases with users.
In principle, the creation of the new company and the outsourcing deal has been agreed. One of the conditions of the contract, inserted by the fi nance director, is that the new company achieves CMMI level 5 within three years. The current IT department has been recently assessed as CMMI level 2. ProTech has recently been assessed at CMMI level 3.
Required:
(a) Evaluate the potential benefi ts to the city authority and its IT employees, of outsourcing IT to ProTech-Public. (12 marks)
(b) The role of the business analyst is currently being re-designed.
Analyse what new or enhanced competencies the business analysts will require to undertake their proposed new role in the city authority. (7 marks)
(c) Explain the principles of CMMI and the advantages to ProTech-Public of achieving CMMI level 5. (6 marks)

Even in traditional offices, “the lingua franca of corporate America has gotten much more emotional and much more right-brained than it was 20 years ago,” said Harvard Business School professor Nancy Koehn. She started spinning off examples. “If you and I parachuted back to Fortune 500 companies in 1990, we would see much less frequent use of terms like journey, mission, passion. There were goals, there were strategies, there were objectives, but we didn’t talk about energy; we didn’t talk about passion.”
Koehn pointed out that this new era of corporate vocabulary is very “team”-oriented—and not by coincidence. “Let’s not forget sports—in male-dominated corporate America, it’s still a big deal. It’s not explicitly conscious; it’s the idea that I’m a coach, and you’re my team, and we’re in this together. There are lots and lots of CEOs in very different companies, but most think of themselves as coaches and this is their team and they want to win.”
These terms are also intended to infuse work with meaning—and, as Khurana points out, increase allegiance to the firm. “You have the importation of terminology that historically used to be associated with non-profit organizations and religious organizations: Terms like vision, values, passion, and purpose,” said Khurana.
This new focus on personal fulfillment can help keep employees motivated amid increasingly loud debates over work-life balance. The “mommy wars” of the 1990s are still going on today, prompting arguments about why women still can’t have it all and books like Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In, whose title has become a buzzword in its own right. Terms like unplug, offline, life-hack, bandwidth, and capacity are all about setting boundaries between the office and the home. But if your work is your “passion,” you’ll be more likely to devote yourself to it, even if that means going home for dinner and then working long after the kids are in bed.
But this seems to be the irony of office speak: Everyone makes fun of it, but managers love it, companies depend on it, and regular people willingly absorb it. As Nunberg said, “You can get people to think it’s nonsense at the same time that you buy into it.” In a workplace that’s fundamentally indifferent to your life and its meaning, office speak can help you figure out how you relate to your work—and how your work defines who you are.

33.Khurana believes that the importation of terminology aims to______
[A] revive historical terms

[D] strengthen employee loyalty
34.It can be inferred that Lean In________
[A] voices for working women
[B] appeals to passionate workaholics
[C] triggers debates among mommies
[D] praises motivated employees
35.Which of the following statements is true about office speak？
[A] Managers admire it but avoid it
[B] Linguists believe it to be nonsense

Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs？ There are two primary reasons. First,some people are convinced that earning a living is wasting time？ that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their talents. If this is the case with your, recall you last long vacation. Was it two weeks of complete enjoyment？ More likely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun，with another half of a week of bore. I can&39;t wait to get back to work. If you didn&39;t feel such vacation blues,then imagine taking a leave of absence. You could use it to work on a novel, enroll in classes or just sit around watching TV. At the end of three months, in all likelihood，yourself-esteem would be at an all-time low. While all work and no play is not good, all playand no work is disastrous. Wc need to feel we are accomplishing something. We also need some form. of order in our lives. The second and perhaps more prevalent reason for people not to like their work is that they feel trapped. Once you have been at a company for five years and have a spouse，a mortgage and a child, you often feel you have very little choice about jummping ship if things aren’t turning out as you’d planned. A steady paycheck can be the biggest manacle (束缚)of all. People resent having to do something because they have no other choices. If you find yourself resenting your job because you cant afford to quit, it mnay be timeco prepare what one career counselor humorously calls a cyanide(氰化物) capsule. He re-calls spy movies in/which the secret agent has. such a capsule hidden somewhere on His body. If he&39;s captured and tortured unbearably, he has an option. And having an option gives him the strength to hold on a little longer in tbe hope that the situation/ may change. Rather than cyanide. your option takes the form. of an up-to-date resume. You might also take a weekly glance through the help-wanted section, and make some visits to industry functions where low-key net-working can take place. You are not giving up on your current job. Rather , you are providing yourself with an option. If things get unbearable atwork, you could jump ship. Being in this position can do wonders for your attiude. It allows you to enjoy your work since, in reality, you are there only because you want to be. At the core of adopting a positive attitude to your workplace is above all assuming responsibility for your own situation. Most people feel controlled by their environment,but they really aren&39;t.
They have to learn to manage adaptation environment so they can get from it what they need. The second main reason for their unhappiness is that____.
A.they have been working in a company’for too long
B.they are not permitted to change a job
C.they have no other way out than keep working
D.they have to work on to pay off their debts
The example about your last vacation proves that"A.all play and no work is disastrous
B.all work and no play is not good
C.avacation of two weeks is not enough
D.a vacation of two weeks is more than enough
With an up-to-date resume ready as an option, you may feel better at your job Because___.A.you are to do wonders in your work
B.it is up to you to choose between two alternatives
C.you have made a decision on your own
D.it seems to be the only positive attitude
