江西省赣州市十五县（市）十六校2020-2021学年 高二上学期期中联考英语试题 第一部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2分) A Four employees of Haier Group, China’s largest home appliances manufacturer, were fired for taking a nap during working hours, which caused heated discussions online. Should employees be fired for taking a nap at work? Readers share their opinions. Vivianwang(China). Why is a short nap seen as such a terrible offense? I always feel extremely sleepy after lunch. After I take a nap during lunch break I feel more energetic. Instead of firing the workers dozing off, employers should address the problem and adopt a routine that works best for them. Sakura(Japan) This is the opposite of how it is in Japan, where sleeping at your workplace is often seen as a sign that youve been working hard.

In some severe cases, repeated misconduct may lead to the end of employment in some Canadian government establishments. Crystal (UK) I experienced the power of naps myself when I was writing my new book, The Way Were Working Isnt Working. I wrote at home, in the mornings, In three separate, highly focused 90-minute sessions. By the time I finished the last one, I was usually exhausted—physically, mentally and emotionally. I ate lunch and then took a 20-to 30-minute nap. When I awoke, I felt incredibly refreshed. Where I might otherwise have dragged myself through the afternoon, I was able to focus effectively on work until 7 pm or so. Eric (USA) Years ago, Craig Yarde, founder of Yarde Metals in Bristol, CT, noticed his employees napping on the job. So when he built a new office space in 1995, he built a nap room, with couches. Fifteen years later, Yarde Metals has grown to nearly 700 employees, with $500 million in annual revenue(收入) and locations up and down the east coast—each with its own dedicated napping room. 1.
