问答题Think about driving a route that"s very familiar. It could be your commute to work, a trip into town or the way home. Whichever it is, you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand. On these sorts of trips it"s easy to lose concentration on the driving and pay little attention to the passing scenery. The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has. This is the well-travelled road effect: People tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route. The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. When we travel down a well-known route, because we don"t have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly. And afterwards, when we come to think back on it, we can"t remember the journey well because we didn"t pay much attention to it. So we assume it Was shorter.

问答题With the popularity of the Internet, more and more people do shopping online. Serial returner refers to someone who regularly orders more than they need and sends some of the items back. Three in ten shoppers deliberately over-purchase and subsequently return unwanted items, with one in five admitting to ordering multiple versions of the same item to make up their mind at home-safe in the knowledge they can choose from the ever-growing number of ways to quickly and easily send items back. Shoppers have also come to expect good value regardless of whether they"re making a purchase or a return. Six in ten say a retailer"s returns policy impacts their decision to make a purchase online, and almost half of these would not order an item if they had to fund the cost of sending it back from their own pocket. Serial returners said they would send back fewer purchases if businesses were to standardize clothing and shoe sizes.

问答题Global trade and the economic incentive polices of individual national economies will play an important role in the recovery from the current global decline. The US economy is promoting from the global economy during the current global decline. It may not feel like that, as we in the US now have about one-sixth of the labor force officially unemployed or underemployed. But the national income accounting is real. If not for our shrinking trade surplus, for example, the first quarter of this year would have seen a fall of 7.9% of GDP, instead of 5.5%. Th at's a big difference in terms of output and employment. Countries that export a lot get hit harder in the decline as their trade surplus shrinks. And countries that export significant amounts to the US have also been hit hard. This seems to offer a lesson for developing countries, It's good to make your trade diverse, and maybe not become excessively dependent on markets where there are enormous asset bubbles.

问答题College doesn"t always prepare you for life after graduation. You are thrust into the world and tasked with the challenge of figuring out how to live on your own. Your early twenties are a time to take risks, try new things, and discover your passions. Don"t worry so much about not having a concrete plan, and now is the time when you can experiment and find your true skills and interests. While making money immediately might seem important, your early twenties are one of the best times for exploring different career paths and planning out a roadmap for your future. Once you graduate college, you will no longer be surrounded by your peers at all hours of the day. Meeting new people is more challenging and requires more effort than it did during college. Because of this, it"s often good to remember that being friendly is the best way to meet new people. Take interest in the lives of your coworkers and people around you, and be willing to make new connections.

问答题It"s midday, and your phone"s battery is dangerously close to the 20 per cent mark. If you"re like the majority of people, that red icon will leave you feeling panicked, annoyed and hunting for a spare charger. LG has dubbed this condition "Low Battery Anxiety" and says that nearly 9 out of 10 people suffer from the fear of losing power on their phone. The company polled a random sample of more than 2,000 adult smartphone users in the US earlier this year. When it comes to choosing between hitting the gym or charging their smartphone, it found one in three people are likely to skip the gym. But millennials tend to have it worse— with 42 per cent likely to skip the gym when choosing between working out or charging their phone. Smartphone users will even "drop everything" and make a U-turn to head back home to charge their phone.

问答题People tend to amass possessions. Indeed they can have a delightful surprise when they find something useful which they did not know they owned. Some people leave unwanted objects in drawers, cupboards and attics for years, in the belief that they may one day need just those very things. Collecting as a serious hobby is quite different. It provides relaxation for leisure hours, because just looking at one"s treasures is always a joy. One does not have to go out for amusement, since the collection is housed at home. Whatever it consists of, stamps, first editions of books, antique furniture, stuffed birds, toy animals, there is always something to do in connection with it, from finding the right place for the latest addition to verifying facts in reference books. This hobby educates one not only in the chosen subject, but also in general matters which have some bearing on it.

问答题Toxic workplace relationships, failing company fortunes and limited advancement opportunities are just a few compelling reasons to quit a job. But career experts say many workplace problems that employees may think are irreconcilable can be improved or even resolved with some action and a change of attitude. First, find out if your problems are unique. Reach out to co-workers in other departments, peers through industry associations or even call colleagues at other companies to compare notes. Second, separate the demands of work from your own expectations of yourself. If you're unhappy about failing short of your own personal career goals, try breaking your big goals into smaller, more realistically achievable ones. This can improve your morale by reinforcing small successes. Third, pitch your boss on a less formal and more goal-oriented workplace. And offer improved results in exchange for more autonomy. If the operational processes of your job are leading to failure, alter your approach, if you can.
