Even if you really enjoy your job, it’s still possible to feel bored as you work. You may not be able to make big changes—or change your job—but you can make small adjustments. Here are some tips on how to battle boredom.
1. Switch Your Seat
Change your outlook at the office by changing your office. Ask your assistant to help you find a new desk. If it’s not possible to change your location, see if you can change your desk’s direction. A new view can be just as refreshing as a new location.
2. ______________
Take a subway. Ride a bike on sunny days. You needn’t change the way to go to work for ever—just long enough to help you escape the boredom.
3. Find a New Work Style
Tired of attending that long-standing Monday morning meeting? Try to change it to the afternoon. If you find yourself feeling most bored in the afternoons, try to arrange to do your favorite tasks then and tackle less desirable projects in the mornings. If you usually communicate with coworkers via email and instant messaging, start dealing with people face to face. Increased communication with coworkers may help improve your mood.
4. Get and Set an aim
If your work is short of aims, it’s no wonder that work has become boring. Set an aim. Your aim needn’t be great as long as you are enthusiastic about it. Whatever it is, actively move toward an objective.
1. What is the main idea of the passage? (within 10 words)
______________________________________________________________________________________
2.Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
You will feel bored when you are not working toward something.
______________________________________________________________________________________
3. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (within 8 words)
———————————————————————————————————————————
4. List three methods of escaping from boredom from the passage. (within 5 words for each)
①________________________ ②________________________ ③________________________
5.Translate the underlined sentence in the Last Paragraph into Chinese.
1.some tips on how to battle boredom
2.If your work is short of aims, it's no wonder that work has become boring.
3.Change the way to go to work.
4.Enjoying music; Playing basketball with friends; Change to another subject
5.你的目标不必多么远大，只要你对它充满热情。
【解析】
试题分析：本文叙述了怎样在工作中与厌倦作斗争。一是改变你的座位。二是出行要选择好飞天气。三是找到一个新的工作作风。四是制定工作的目标，没有工作时你就会感觉厌倦。你的目标不必多么远大，只要你对它充满热情。
1.根据第一段最后一句“Here are some tips on how to battle boredom.”可知本文的主要思想是some tips on how to battle boredom 。
2.“You will feel bored when you are not working toward something.”意为当你没有工作的目标时，你就会感觉厌倦。所以同义句是“If your work is short of aims, it's no wonder that work has become boring. ”
3.因为这段的内容是“乘地铁，晴天时骑单车。你不需要总是改变去工作的方式---只要足够长的时间改变一下就能帮你逃脱厌烦。”所以标题应是“Change the way to go to work.”。
4.根据文章大意，可推断出Enjoying music; Playing basketball with friends; Change to another subject。
5.as long as “只要”， be enthusiastic about“热衷于，对…充满热情”，所以这句话意为：你的目标不必多么远大，只要你对它充满热情。
