Tips for a happier workplace
You don’t have to be friends with your co-workers, but you do need to be friendly. Read on for fresh ways to make your office a kinder, gentler place.
◆Give a happy “Hello!” in the morning.
Do you walk into the office, eyes down, and immediately start work? If so, you are likely to find that co-workers ignore you or avoid you. 1. It’s really amazing how fast this small gesture can change unfriendly workplace relations.
◆Learn the art of small talk.
Ask your co-workers about their interests— their favorite music, movies, and books, as well as their hobbies. 2. Once you know what catches their imagination, pick up stories from newspapers or magazines to help start conversations.
◆ Ask what they think.
People love to be asked for their opinion, so go out of your way to ask ,“What do you think of this report?” or “How do you think I should deal with this situation?” 3.
◆Avoid gossip.
4. So return the favor. When a co-worker walks towards you bearing a piece of gossip, respond with, “Really?” and then change the subject or get back to work. If you don’t respond, the gossiper will move on.
◆5.
To win friends at work, start with good office etiquette (礼节).There’s nothing more frustrating to busy co-workers than to have their emails and phone messages ignored. Your silence doesn’t just make their jobs harder, it also conveys an unpleasant message: You are unimportant to me.
A. Stop complaining.
B. Return calls and emails immediately.
C. Then give the advice giver a silent thank-you.
D. Always work as hard as anyone working for you.
E. You don’t want anyone talking about you behind your back, right?
F. Showing an interest in them will make them feel comfortable around you.
G. Get into the habit of greeting your co-workers with a smile as you arrive in the morning.
How important is your mobile phone, better known to Americans as a cellphone? Jack said, “I use my phone all the time. I’m always on my phone.” Ann said, “It’s important to me because it’s like my life saver.” Jenny said, “I need my cellphone. I cannot live without it.”
So far, no studies have proven beyond question that the radio signals from cellphones cause brain cancer or other health problems. But a new study by government scientists in the United States has some people wondering what to think. The scientists have found that holding a cellphone to your ear for more than fifty minutes increases brain cell activity. Even the scientists themselves are not sure about the meaning of their findings.
Dr Nora Volkow led the study. She heads the National Institute on Drug Abuse, part of the National Institutes of Health. Dr Volkow says she is not concerned that fifty minutes of cellphone exposure (暴露) would harm anyone. But she says the research does show the need to study whether there are long-lasting effects of repeated exposure over several years.
Her team studied forty-seven healthy volunteers between January and December of 2009. The volunteers had cellphones placed against both ears while the scientists made images of their brain activity. As part of the test, one phone was activated （使激活）for fifty minutes. The other phone was off. After that, the volunteers were tested with both phones turned off. Dr Volkow says the brain scans（扫描） showed increased activity in brain cells closest to the activated phone.
The scans showed how the brain cells used sugar to produce energy, a normal activity. The activity was seven percent higher in areas of the brain closest to the cellphone antenna（天线）.
Dr Giuseppe Esposito is a nuclear medicine expert at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington. He says after many years of studies, better kinds of research are still needed to settle questions about cellphone safety. These studies would take years.
