“Too many people view their jobs as a five-day prison from which they are paroled every Friday,” says Joel Gookman, founder of the Humor Project, a humor-consulting group in Saratoga Springs, New York. Humor unlocks the office prison because it lets adults bring some of their childlike spirit to the job.
According to Howard Pollio, professor of psychology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, an office with humor breaks is an office with satisfied and productive employees. Pollio conducted a study that proved humor can help workers excel at routine production tasks. Employees perform better when they have fun.
In large corporations with a hierarchy of power, there is often no outlet for stress. “Every company needs underground ways of poking fun at the organization,” says Lynn N. Mark, a speaker on workplace humor for St. Mary’s Health Centre in St. Louis. Kodak’s Rochester, New York branch, discovered a way for its 20 000 employees to uncork their bottomed-up resentments. Their 1 000-square-foot humor room features a toy store. Among the room’s many stress-reducing gadgets, the main attraction is a boss doll with detachable arms and legs. Employees can take the doll apart, as long as they put its arms and legs back in place.
Sandy Cohen, owner of a graphic print-production business, created “The Quote Board” to document the bizarre phrases people say when under strict deadlines. “When you’re under stress, you say stupid things,” says Cohen. “Now, we just look at each other and say, ‘that’s one for the Quote Board!’”
Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.
9. What does the passage say about humor in the workplace?
10.What does the study by Howard Pollio show?
11. What can Kodak’s employees do in the humor room?
选项
A、Put bizarre expressions on the notes.
B、Take the boss doll apart as long as they reassemble it.
C、Beat each other during the breaks.
D、Exchange stress-reducing items with each other.
答案

细节辨认题。短文中提到,纽约罗切斯特的柯达分公司发现了一个让员工释放不满的方法,他们打造了一间幽默屋,它以玩具店为特色,在众多的减压物品中,最吸引人的就是老板模样的玩偶,其胳膊和腿是可拆卸的,只要员工之后可以再把玩偶的胳膊和腿装回去,他们就可以将玩偶拆散。因此答案为B)。
