My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport,
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. The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency(货币 )
36、with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma.

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
48、n the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without,” he said. 【小题 1】 What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show A People who surf the Internet are good employees.
