Psychological techniques used to lessen the effort involved in a given job include a detailed study of the motion required to do the job, the equipm

6、ent used, and the conditions under which the job is performed. After making such a study, the industrial psychologist often determines that the job in question may be accomplished with less effort by changing the routine motions of the work itself, changing or moving the tools, improving the working

7、 conditions, or a combination of several of these methods. Industrial psychologists have also studied the effects of fatigue on workers to determine the length of working time that yields the greatest productivity. In some cases such studies have proven that total production on particular jobs could

8、 be increased by reducing the number of working hours or by increasing the number of rest periods, or “breaks“, during the day. Industrial psychologists may also suggest less direct requirements for general improvement of job performance, such as establishing a better line of communication between e

14、avel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places.

Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the

16、Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun! The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italys 30,000 hotels are booked

17、solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides. Spains long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain. But there are signs that the area is getting more tourist

18、s than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, its getting worse. The French cant figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution. None

19、 of this, however, is spoiling anyones fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they dont go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They dont even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the

20、coastline still looks beautiful.

Its a hard work and it makes you short of breath. To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes (as long as youre not held up at the

27、ble to drive to France in his own car. “Not possible,“ you say. Well, wait a minute. People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge.

28、 more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge, whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only. Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC (欧共体 )? Well, perhaps. The main

29、 reason, though, is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of Londons disused docklands. A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and revitalize the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. With a link over the Channel, you could buy you
