18、her is if the only time you get to experience it is on a 15-minute lunch break. When I worked full-time in an office, I would feel the pain of this as colleagues with kids jetted off for a summer break and I was left to work. I felt as though my life came second to theirs, but Ive come to realize th
19、is time was actually a gift. Let me explain. So much of our working week finds us rushing to meet deadlines and please bosses. We have a long list of things that have to be achieved and we can get so lost in all of these that we forget to do the other things that can boost both our careers and produ
20、ctivity. The summertime, however, sees managers on holiday and an attitude of “nothing will get decided on until September”, which means this is the perfect time to focus on you. The main thing Ive learned over my years of working is to use this period to recharge, even if youre not actually on holi
21、day. I vividly remember complaining to a friend once of being bored during August. After shed rolled her eyes at this non-problem, she suggested that perhaps this time was slow because it is supposed to be focusing on something other than work. I could leave on time and have life outside of the offi
22、ce. Making time to see my friends or finally seeing the exhibitions Id been putting off for months recharged me, and when the break ended, I was ready for it. So much of our working life is about relationships, yet we sacrifice these to raise productivity. It may be more beneficial to a work relatio
23、nship to take a colleague for a coffee, but its quicker to fire off an email, so we do that. In the summer, suggesting a walk in the sunshine, while you talk about how to deal with that tricky client, suddenly seems like the best way to work. The-hopefully-warm weather makes all of us unreserved, so
24、 use this to your advantage. Are there people youve really wanted to meet but theyve always been too busy? And finally, if you already know that, come September, youre going to start pushing for that pay rise or new job you promised yourself, then now is the time to ensure that youve got all the evi
25、dence to make your case. Offering to be the point of contact for projects when your boss is away can give you the experience you need to take the next step. Use the summer wisely and, by the end of it, youll be the employee with a new plan of action and a contacts book filled with new best friends.

29、es than stop paying for their childrens activities.Music lessons, horseback riding, summer camps, sports teamsthe list goes on and on. Often, so do the costs. And even if the money is not there, some parents find a way. I know people who have borrowed from family and run up their credit cards to pay
30、 for all the stuff they believe their children just cannot miss.“The experiences we thought kids had to have before high school has moved down to junior high and now elementary,” said William Doherty, a professor of family studies and director of the marriage and family therapy program at the Univer
31、sity of Minnesota. Soon, well be talking about leadership opportunities for babies.”Somehow, not offering our children every possible opportunity “feels like bad parenting,” said Wendy Mogel, a clinical psychologist.But in an effort to give their children everything, some parents end up not just usi
32、ng up financial resources, but also their own emotional energy. “A lot of parents are exhausted by their own overparenting,” said Bryan Caplan, an economics professor at George Mason University.” They make so many sacrifices and are so stressed out by driving around so much that they explode at kids
33、 for changing the radio station.”“Its easy to take a look at the more successful kids and assume that all the activities are why they are more successful,”Professor Caplan said. But research doesnt bear that out. On a recent National Public Radio program, Steven D. Levitt, a professor of economics a

The children may not be successful in the future.C. The parents may ask too much of their children. D.
38、The parents may get extremely tired. DWhat if we had the power to control time, instead of moving from the past to the present to the future? What if we could jump, loop and travel through time in a machine? What if we could go wherever and whenever we pleased?This ability would allow us to witness
39、historic wonders, change decisions and see people from the past. We could right wrongs and stop wars from starting.The mysterious puzzle of time has kept people debating its nature for hundreds of years. Science fiction writers have turned it into imaginative stories. Some scientists have even attem
40、pted to explain it using math. This math tries to make the dream of time travel come true.The scientist Albert Einstein said that time and space are one thing.
