Employees are being flooded with too much information that has little to do with their work, according to a new survey.
On average, white-collar workers spend 51 percent of their work time receiving and processing information. Only one third of it was relevant to their work, the survey found. Information overload for white collar workers has become a global issue. The huge amount of information has already affected their efficiency in management as well as their performance at work.
Buried with e-mails
Every morning, a secretary at the human resources department of an auto parts company opens her e-mail box, only to find it crammed with at least 50 unread mails. For her, even scanning through these e-mails every day takes at least half an hour. Some of her colleagues are not so lucky — they have to read at least 100.
Bothered with calls
Telephone calls are also causing a problem. More than 40 percent white-collar workers chose mobile phones as the preferred way to communicate important and urgent business matters.
Talking saves time and energy over the clicking, reading and replying to e-mails, but phone calls are also more distracting(分心的). While answering a call, a clerk is likely to put away a much more important task at hand and start the business being talked about on the phone.
Solution? Not yet.
Many companies start with providing staff with better computers, better Internet access and more advanced gadgets(裝置). For example, staff members above a certain level in one company will be provided with a blackberry phone for easier access to their e-mails. The company has also organized many lectures on efficient ways of e-mail management. Yet most white-collar workers think their companies can do more.
【小題1】What does the new survey find about white-collar workers?
| A．They spend 51% of their work time on meetings. |
| B．Only half of the information they receive is useful. |
| C．Over 60% of them prefer to use the telephone. |
| D．Some of them have to read at least 100 e-mails every day. |
| A．they take up the time to receive and send e-mails |
| B．they are often not answered |
| C．they are mostly not about business |
| D．they may lead to the changing of work schedule |
| A．They start to give staff a pay rise. |
| B．They plan to employ more people. |
| C．They provide employees with more advanced equipment. |
| D．They organize lectures on how to reduce stress. |
| A．Poor management leads to inefficiency at work. |
| B．Junk mail is causing big trouble. |
| C．White-collar workers suffer from information overload. |

How many times do you have to fail at something in order to succeed? Did you know that Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times while trying to invent the light bulb? He certainly had a “l(fā)earn and do” attitude! He was able to turn each failed experiment into a successful way to invent the light bulb. So what can we learn from this? You can adopt the “fail forward” strategy too.
In reality, none of us are failures. It’s true that we will experience times of defeat, problems, and disasters, but remember, each one of us is meant to succeed in life. However, we must choose our fate. Henry David Thoreau said, “Men are born to succeed, not to fail.”
We can never be forced into having a happy and successful life. Whether or not you experience success or failure is completely controlled by what you think and do. You are the only one who can choose the thoughts that will keep you from achieving the abundant life and joy that you are meant to have. No matter how difficult things may seem, say to yourself, “I choose to be a happy and successful person.”
Why do some people get what they want and others fail? I believe that getting what you desire in life takes planning, and it doesn’t just happen by luck. So how do we plan for success?
It has been proven that successful people do things more differently than unsuccessful people. They recognize the patterns of success and follow them; one of those patterns is planning. They plan what they think and do, which sets them apart. They know exactly what they desire, have an intelligent plan for getting it, and then work their plan. They know what success will cost them in terms of time, energy, and results, and they devote the right resources toward making their plans happen.
1.The writer refers to Thomas Edison to ________.
A．introduce his invention
B．put forward the topic of the text
C．praise the inventor
D．show the way to success
2.What Henry David Thoreau said implies that ________.
A．everyone is able to be a success
B．most people lack the confidence to succeed
C．everyone can do nothing but succeed in his life
D．no one can succeed without difficulty and suffering
3.The main idea of the last two paragraphs is that ________.
A．planning plays an important role in success
B．successful people differ from unsuccessful ones
C．successful people have many patterns of success
D．devoting the right resources can help reach one’s goal
4.Which of the following would match the text?
A．All roads lead to Rome. B．Think twice before you act.
C．No pains, no gains. D．Failure is the mother of success.

1. Men lie; women lie. Husbands lie, friends lie, wives lie, and believe it or not, your mother might lie. A recent study showed that 91% of all people lie on a regular basis, and people tell at least 13 major lies a week.
Dr. Robert G. Newby, a professor of sociology, believes that men are more likely to tell lies than women. “Men are more concerned about how they present themselves in public, the impression they make on people and things like that,” he says. “Men are always trying to impress people in the work and want to make sure that their presentation of self is one that makes them look good. 2. .”
Women, on the other hand, Dr. Newby believes, are more private people and their relationship tends to be more interpersonal, as opposed to having to put on a public face. Women are more vulnerable and they are not as likely to try to pull the wool over someone’s eyes like men.
Psychotherapist Vesta Callender also agrees that men and women do lie differently. “ 3. . They plan better,” Callender notes. “They create a history around the lie, and they try to project into the future what might happen if the lie is detected. With a woman, a lie has a beginning, a middle and an end.” Callender believes that men tend to lie for the moment or to get out of a situation. 4. .
Dr. Elmore stresses that while it is true that most people lie from time to time, one should be truthful.
“ 5. .Everything that is true does not need to be said, but everything saids needs to be true.” he says.
A. Be truthful at any cost.
B. Men also lie to each other.
C. Everyone lies from time to time.
D. Women are much more careful in their lies.
E. Men think less about how the lie can be detected.
F. He lies about almost everything, even when he doesn’t have to.
G. Men are more likely to step outside of their relationships than women.

In time, the labor pains come. But complications arise during delivery. Finally, Michael's little sister is born. But she is in serious condition. With alarm in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital, Knoxville, Tennessee. The days go by. The little girl gets worse. The pediatric (兒科的) specialist tells the parents, “There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst.”
Karen and her husband contact a local cemetery about a burial plot. They have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby, but now they plan a funeral.

“Keep on singing, Michael.”encouraged Karen with tears in her eyes. "You never know, dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away."
