2014年10月高等教育自学考试《英语（一）》试题 课程代码：00012 I、阅读判断 Why We Need Vacations Theres more to a vacation than can be described in travel books. We certainly need breaks from work. But there is even more to be said for a get-away break, leaving all daily work behind and living a different life for a short time. The benefits of taking a vacation start long before the suitcases are packed. A vacation is something to look forward to. It gives us the sense that whatever is happening at the moment will end soon. Companies sometimes use away-breaks to restore (恢复) motivation and team relationships. If you re able to switch off and leave your daily work behind, when you come back, you often view old situations with fresh eyes and see them in a new way. People dont disappear while on vacation. Were still thinking and feeling the whole time were away. What really makes the difference is not simply getting away from the daily work; its being able to do something else instead. We might speak to people we wouldnt normally meet, try sports wed not do otherwise, and discover interests we never knew we had. Vacations also allow us to focus on the present in a way thats hard to do at home. When youre in a new environment for a short time, your attention tends to be on whats happening right now and in the next few days. Being in the moment is in itself one of the keys to getting relaxed, and this happens more naturally on vacation. Every vacation is an adventure full of potential discoveries. Perhaps more than anything else, vacations enable us to raise our eyes from familiar paths so that we can look around and see that theres a world out there. 1.
