托福閱讀材料之熱愛自己的工作

托福閱讀考試前考生需要積累大量的素材資料，現(xiàn)在信息傳播原來越廣泛，很多重要信息我們可能沒有精力去接觸，那么如果出現(xiàn)在自己的托福閱讀考試中，大家能否快速的理解文章內(nèi)容呢?以下是為大家整理的托福閱讀材料:熱愛自己的工作，供大家學習。

當問到這樣一個問題：如果所有工作任你選，你會選擇做什么?人們會發(fā)揮出天馬行空的想象力，或是夢想自己能在充滿異國風情的地方工作，或是位居要職，或是有份喝酒賺錢兩不誤的美差。

Asked what job they would take if they could have any, people unleash their imaginations and dream of exotic places, powerful positions or work that involves alcohol and a paycheck at the same time.

或許你也會這么想。

Or so you'd think.

不過，這一切都吸引不了洛麗*米勒(Lori Miller)。作為一名文字處理專家，她的工作──校對、拼寫檢查和設計版式──似乎和夢想不沾邊。不過她熱愛自己的工作。

None of that appeals to Lori Miller who, as a lead word processor, has to do things that don't seem so dreamy, including proofreading, spell checking and formatting. But she loves it.

“我喜歡而且尊重幾乎所有同事，他們中的大多數(shù)人對我也是如此，”她說，“只是有幾個方面我還不太滿意，”其中包括公司離家較遠。她還希望一些已經(jīng)跳槽的好同事能夠回到自己的身邊。還有一點：如果每個人都能將用過的盤子放進洗碗機她會不勝感激。

"I like and respect nearly all my co-workers, and most of them feel the same way about me,' she says. 'Just a few things would make it a little better,' she says, including a shorter commute and the return of some great people who used to work there. And one more thing: She'd appreciate if everyone would put their dishes in the dishwasher."

這些要求并不過份，實際上，對理想職業(yè)要求不高的人多得出奇。有人會將之歸咎于缺乏想象力、標準偏低或者在工作上原地不動、停滯不前。有人會給自己的糟糕處境找到合理的借口。

It's not a lot to ask for and, it turns out, a surprising number of people dreaming up their dream job don't ask for much. One could attribute it to lack of imagination, setting the bar low or 'anchoring,' the term referring to the place people start and never move far from. One could chalk it up to rationalizing your plight.

不過人們或許僅僅是喜愛他們的工作，并沒有像某些管理人員所宣稱的那樣要求太多──他們希望的，只是擺脫辦公室里不多但影響力不小的無聊事。

But maybe people simply like what they do and aren't, as some management would have you believe, asking for too much -- just the elimination of a small but disproportionately powerful amount of office inanity.

這或許就是為什么有三分之二的美國人會“毫不猶豫”地再次選擇同樣的工作、有九成美國人在一定程度上滿意自己的工作，這是一項蓋洛普調(diào)查得出的結(jié)論。

That may be one reason why two-thirds of Americans would take the same job again 'without hesitation' and why 90% of Americans are at least somewhat satisfied with their jobs, according to a Gallup Poll.

能帶來更高滿意度的一般不是金錢，而是“工作作為一種證明某種責任和成就的手段，”加州大學伯克利分校哈斯商學院(Haas School of Business)領導和溝通專業(yè)教授巴里"斯托(Barry Staw)說，“薪酬即使重要，也不是因為你能用它來買什么，而是對你工作的一種認可和承認?！?/p>

The matters that routinely rank high on a satisfaction scale don't relate to money but 'work as a means for demonstrating some sort of responsibility and achievement, 'says Barry Staw, professor of leadership and communication at University of California, Berkeley's Haas School of Business. 'Pay -- even when it's important, it's not for what you can buy, it's a validation of your work and approval.
