Question

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.

Answer 1

小題1:some tips on how to battle boredom
小題2:If your work is short of aims, it's no wonder that work has become boring.
小題3:Change the way to go to work.
小題4:Enjoying music; Playing basketball with friends; Change to another subject
小題5:你的目標不必多么遠大，只要你對它充滿熱情。

試題分析：本文敘述了怎樣在工作中與厭倦作斗爭。一是改變你的座位。二是出行要選擇好飛天氣。三是找到一個新的工作作風。四是制定工作的目標，沒有工作時你就會感覺厭倦。你的目標不必多么遠大，只要你對它充滿熱情。
小題1:根據(jù)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 。
小題2:“You will feel bored when you are not working toward something.”意為當你沒有工作的目標時，你就會感覺厭倦。所以同義句是“If your work is short of aims, it's no wonder that work has become boring. ”
小題3:因為這段的內(nèi)容是“乘地鐵，晴天時騎單車。你不需要總是改變?nèi)スぷ鞯姆绞?--只要足夠長的時間改變一下就能幫你逃脫厭煩�！彼�以標題應是“Change the way to go to work.”。
小題4:根據(jù)文章大意，可推斷出Enjoying music; Playing basketball with friends; Change to another subject。
小題5:as long as “只要”， be enthusiastic about“熱衷于，對…充滿熱情”，所以這句話意為：你的目標不必多么遠大，只要你對它充滿熱情。
