35、 the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.

38、The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave.

44、ee, according to an Australian study. The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said, “Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employees attention.

45、” “People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,” Coker said on the universitys website. “Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a days work, and as a result, increases productivity(

46、生产效率 ),”he said. According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and

47、 watching videos. “Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching video, using social networking sites or shopping online,” said Coker. “Thats not always a good idea.” However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度 ), or were o
