With your workload growing, you may be telling yourself a vacation is one luxury (奢侈) you can't afford. But the truth is that you can't afford not to take one. A vacation allows you the opportunity to recharge (充电) your physical and emotional batteries, disconnect from everyday concerns, and return to work rested and refreshed. Some facts have proved employees are more productive after a vacation than before one. Here are some tips for you to plan your vacation to make sure that your time away from the office is worry free.

　 Time is right. A Robert Half survey shows that July and August are the most favorable months for employees to take a break because these months offer ideal beach weather and many businesses slow down during this time. When planning your vacation, remember to take into account any activity that your department will be focused on during that time. For instance, if a big task is planned for the summer, you may consider putting off your trip until the fall.

　 Ask others for assistance. Ask trusted colleagues to handle your projects while you're away. Your supervisor can help you determine who is the most qualified for a particular task.

　 Let your contacts know. Give colleagues and customers you frequently work with a few weeks' notice before you start off. This will give them enough time to plan for your absence.

　 Conduct a technical review. Before you leave, make sure there is plenty of room in your e?mail inbox so that you don't exceed (超越) your storage limit while you're out of the office, which might prevent you from sending messages when you return. Also make sure passwords won't expire (过期) while you are away.

　 In short, taking vacation is necessary and beneficial for your job. But you must plan your vacation properly in order to be work?free and worry?free on holiday.

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.

　 Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

　 The amount of stress a person can bear depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight”. And in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.

　 So what do you think of stress? What is your way to deal with it？

Hare are a few tips to help you, the workaholic, re-focus and get the best out of life.

71 Make it a point to get at least eight hours of sleep and plenty of rest. Don't believe that you can always "catch some sleep or rest later." Your body cannot make up for lost sleep or rest time because it is not physio1ogically possib1e.

72 Resolve to make Saturdays and Sundays strictly for family time. And stick to this! Mondays until Fridays you make an excuse not to relax and spend time with your family because it's work time, why not make a similar excuse for Saturdays and Sundays?

GET SOME FOOD IN! 73 Workaho1ics are known to be food--skippers. If you can't afford to get off your desk or from doing paperwork,   have food delivered to you. It’s always a good idea if you hare crackers on your drawer to ease the hunger pangs.

WORK UP THOSE MUSCLES1! Exercise, exercise, exercise!

74Your body needs to be conditioned, and working non-stop isn't going to give it the proper physical conditioning it needs. Since most workaholics tend to have their behinds stuck on their chairs, it's even more important that you get some exercise.

WORK TO LIVE! Always keep in mind that you work so you can live and have a comfortable life.

75 Working is just one of the many useful and fruiifu1 activities you do that enables you to 1ive a good life and gives your family their needs. Don't make work your life. A. Set aside at least an hour each day or every other day for exercise.

B. EIGHT HOURS OF SLEEP!

C. Work can bring us a happy life.

D. Always remember that you don’t live to work. E. MAKE FULL USE OF SLEEP

F. Make sure you get food in your stomach. G. STRICTLY FAMILY ON WEEKENDS!

 “You can learn English more efficiently if you spend 20 minutes a day for a week than if you spend two hours a day.” This is what a teacher usually 71  when he tells his students how to allot(分配)their time. But is it true?

Suppose you have a bucket with a small hole in its bottom. Now you are asked to fill the bucket with the water in a basin. If you are too little a boy to lift the basin full of water, you are sure 72   a bowl or something alike. You will dip out the water from the basin with the bowl and pour it into the bucket .You may dip from the basin again and again. However, you will soon find that as soon as you pour a bowl of water into the bucket , most of the water 73  through the hole , so you are 74   able to fill up the bucket this way.

On the contrary , if you are an adult, you will 75   lift the basin and pour the whole basin of water into the bucket at once. Now, the bucket is full. Though the water in it is also leaking out, you at least have filled up the bucket with water. If you want to 76   the bucket full, you only have to add a bowl of water now and then .

The same is true of English learning. Let us 77  a simple example. If you learn 10 new words today, you are most likely to remember 9 tomorrow. But if you try to learn 30 words today, though you may forget far more than one word , you may 78  be able to remember 11 or 12 words tomorrow.

Day in and day out , you will be able to remember a large number of words, 79  you may forget some of them.

 80  , the more time you spend at a time, the more you will learn on the whole. Of course, the amount of time you spend each time must be within the limit that you do not exhaust (使筋疲力尽)yourself .
