[单项选择]Happiness Important for Productivity
According to researchers at the University of East Asia, there is a strong correlation between an employee’s happiness outside of the work environment and his or her ability to stay focused and enthusiastic in the workplace. The study of Japanese and Korean workers suggests that, in particular, those employees with strong relationships with family and friends, as well as those who actively participate in sports and hobbies, are more likely to be efficient and motivated workers. The findings are based on the results of a questionnaire sent out to over 1,000 respondents in each country.
According to Professor Graham Sparkes, who led the project, these results present a challenge to firms across Japan and Korea, both of which often expect their employees to work long hours. instead, Professor Sparkes believes, companies should be willing to give their workers more leisure time, as they will reap the rewards of having more efficient employees

[单项选择]M22 Project a Success
The highly publicized M22 project, undertaken by the National Transport Department, has drawn to a close. The new highway connecting Barnesworth and Stains has taken around six months to build since construction finally began in March this year.
The M22 project was the subject of great controversy when it was first proposed in January 2009. While local residents of Barnesworth and Stains were enthusiastic about its capacity to facilitate economic development in the region, environmental activists expressed concern. They suggested that the new highway, which cuts through Langham Forest, could destroy the habitat of the endangered spotted bill bird, potentially driving this native species to extinction. However, activists and government officials eventually reached a compromise, with the original proposal slightly rerouted so that a nature reserve could be established.

Dear Ms. Holmes,
I am writing to confirm that your account was settled on July 11. The shipment of gardening tools, which was delivered to your warehouse on July 3, has now been fully paid. Along with this letter, I have attached an official invoice for your records.
Thank you very much for your prompt payment. I would like to apologize for the lengthy delay between our receipt of the payment and this letter. We normally aim to correspond with clients within two to three working days of a transaction. However, we have recently moved our headquarters from Dunworth Lane to Gribblehurst Street, and many administrative tasks have fallen behind schedule. I hope this has not caused any inconvenience.
I look forward to providing you with additional services in the future.
Kind regards,
Kelly Hendriks
Client Liaison — Optimum Garden Supplies
