单选题"Too many people view their jobs as a five-day prison from which they are paroled every Friday," says Joel Gookman, founder of The Humor Project, a humor-consulting group in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Humor unlocks the office prison because it lets adults bring some of their childlike spirit to the job. According to Howard Pollio, professor of psychology at the University of Tennesse, Knoxville, an office with humor breaks is an office with satisfied and productive employees. Pollio conducted a study that proved humor can help workers excel at routine production task. Employees perform better when they have fun. In large corporations with a hierarchy of power, there is often no outlet for stress, "Every company needs underground ways of poking fun at the organization," says Lynn M. Mark, a speaker on workplace humor for St. Mary's Health Center in St. Louis. Kodak's Rochester, N.Y., branch discovered a way for its 20,000 employees to uncork their bottomed-up resentments. Their 1,000-square-foot "Humor Room" features a "toy store." Among the room's many stress-reducing gadgets, the main attraction is a boss doll with Velcro arms and legs. Employees can dismantle the boss, as long as they put its arms and legs back in place. Every April Fool's day, Sun Microsystems of mountain View, Calif., concocts an intricate hoax aimed at one of its employees. One year, CEO Scott McNealy's office was decorated as a one-hole, par-four miniature golf course. The annual gag does so much for encouraging teamwork and boosting morale that the company has set aside an April Fool's hoax budget. Sandy Cohen, owner of a graphic print-production business, created "The Quote Board" to document the bizarre phrases people say when under strict deadlines. "When you're under stress, you say stupid things," says Cohen. "Now we just look at each other and say, That's one for the Quote Board!/

单选题It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well, again, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter altogether. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a "Be Kind to Other Drivers" campaign, otherwise it may get completely out of hand. Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it. However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of on-coming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies. A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can't even learn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of roadmanship. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
