“Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home,” writes one of the researchers. Sarah Damaske, In fact women say they feel better at work. She notes. “it is men not women. Who report being bappicr at home than at work,” Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with childrcn and without, but more so for nonparents. This is why pcoplc who work outside the home have better health.
What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when they’ re at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women, it’ s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.
But it’s not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing: working, making money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure: Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.
On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done, there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into it, or if they’ re teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus, they’ re your family. You cannot fire your family. You never really get to go home from home.
So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite, the co-workers are much harder to motivate.
According to Paragraph 1,most previous surveys found that home______ .
A.was an un realistic place for relaxation
B.generated more stress than the workplace
C.was an ideal place for stress measurement
D.offered greater relaxation than the workplace
According to Damaske, who are likely to be the happiest at home?A.Working mothers

D.Working fathers
The home front differs from the workplace in that______ .A.home is hardly a cozier working environment
B.division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut
C.household tasks are generally more motivating
D.family labor is often adequately rewarded
The word“moola”(Line 4,Para 4)most probably means______ .A.energy
B.skills

D.nutrition
The blurring of working women's roles refers to the fact that______ .A.they are both bread winners and housewives

er is virtually unbearable Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they fiddle with their phones,even without a 1 underground.
It’s a sad reality—our desire to avoid interacting with other human beings—because there’s 2 to be gained from talking to the strange r standing by you. But you wouldn’t know it, 3 into your phone. This universal armor sends the 4 :“Please don’t approach me.”
What is it that makes us feel we need to hide 5 our screens?

Though the participants didn&39;t expect a positive experience, after they 17 with the experiment, "not a single person reported having been snubbed.”
