1、 Lunch breaks(午间休息)are important for office workers, since 1. we all need to relax our mind to make it work at its best. And more importantly, it’s the part of the day where we can enjoy some time to ourselves. Normally, a lunch break lasts 60 minutes, which leaves around 40 minutes after eating. You could take a walk, make a phone call to your friends, take a nap(小憩) or even do some sport during this time. For a lot of Chinese workers, 2. 小憩片刻似乎是最受欢迎的放松方式。However, a recent China Youth Daily survey found that 3. almost 60 percent of the country’s office workers are not able to enjoy a good nap during their lunch breaks.
If this also happens to you, 4.我们建议你可以写一下关于这一天的事情。Doing something else while allowing your mind to relax may be a good choice. Because working overtime at night is often the case and there’s almost no time left before going to bed. 5. Using lunch breaks to write a diary couldn’t be better for people. This also gives your eyes a break from the screen.

25、The next time Wayde saw Manningtree, he said, “Could you let me have a little of that medicine? Just enough to see if it works. I’m sorry to trouble you.”
“I have only a very small amount left. It will take me some time to find out how to make more.
“I will pay you anything you ask,” Wayde said.
“Don’t give me anything now, but promise to pay me $10,000 when you become Prime Minister(首相).”
Wayde laughed. “That’s impossible,” he said. “I shall never become Prime Minister.”
“Who knows.” Manningtree said. “Give me a week, and I’ll see what I can do.”
A week passed. Then, Manningtree came to visit Wayde again. He brought with him a small bottle.
“I cannot find out how to make more of this medicine,” he said, “But you can have what’s left I don’ t need it anymore.”
“That’s very generous of you.” Wayde said. “How can I ever thank you?”
“Just take one small drop of the medicine once a month.” Manningtree said.
Wayde took the bottle from his friend. Once a month. he took one small drop.

“Oh? And what is the reason?” Manningtree asked.
“I have almost finished the medicine you gave me,” Wayde said. “Have you found out how to make it?”
Again Manningtree laughed. “Oh, yes,” he said. “I have known how to make it for a long time I knew how to make it when I was at school.”
“What do you mean?” Wayde asked.
“My dear friend and Prime Minister”, Manningtree said, “The medicine I gave you was just a bottle of distilled water.”
“But the colour.”
“Oh, I added some coloring.”
“Then, the medicine did me no good,” Wayde said.

27、Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you now, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system(远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control household appliances(家用电器), take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be in the big system as well.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems.
“Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, head of a research company.
