In order to make their employees happier, companies around the world have been busy installing play equipment in the workplace. Table football, computer games and action figures have
35、become common in some workplaces. Despite all this effort, unfortunately, work still makes people unhappy. According to a study by the London School of Economics, the place where people feel most miserable is work. To proceed with an emphasis on being happy, however, other emotions are crowded out.
36、Anger, sadness, anxiety and uncertainty all become a no-no. Such a ban on negative emotions can be emotionally bad for employees. A number of studies have shown that being able to express a range of positive and negative emotions is important, particularly when people are dealing with difficult expe
37、riences. Besides, being constantly on the lookout for happiness may actually drive happiness away from us. Scientists have found that when we talk about how important happiness is, we become less likely to find it, even when we have experiences that usually make us happy. Wanting to be happy at work
38、 is fair enough, but being forced to be happy at work can be troubling.

42、 attract and keep top talent? Heres a suggestion: Make a flexible work schedule part of the deal. A survey this summer of 1,215 U.S. managers and employees across a variety of industries, by EY (formerly Ernst & Young), found those aged 18 to 32 rank flexibility among the perks (特殊待遇) they want most
43、, with 33% saying they wouldnt work anywhere that didnt offer it. But it seems those aged 33 to 48 value flextime even more: 38% of them consider it non-negotiable, with men who said so, at 40%, slightly outnumbering women (37%). “Companies first started offering flexible schedules, in the late 80s
44、and the 90s, as a way to recruit (招募) and keep talented women, but its gone way beyond that now,” observes Karyn Twaronite, an EY partner who came up through the tax side of the business. Noting that both men and women, in all age groups, ranked flextime (弹性工作制) tops among non-cash perks, Twaronite
45、adds, “That result mirrors exactly what were seeing here at EY.” The accounting and consulting giant, No. 57 on Fortunes Best Companies to Work For, has had thousands of employees working flexible schedules for yearsincluding, since 2004, six weeks of paid leave for new dads. 8 “Flextime may have st
46、arted out as a womens issue, but its changed into something that people of both sexes have come to expect,” he adds. “I think its partly because of the large number of two-career households now, where people have to adapt to two demanding professional schedules instead of just one.” The EY survey su
47、ggests that, in the next decade or so, the opportunity for a life outside the office will become an even bigger draw than it already is. Most of those surveyed still work a set schedule, the report notes, but “respondents expect a shift in the coming years to more flexible hours, as 62% currently wo
48、rk standard office hours and only 50% expect to do so in five to ten years.” That doesnt surprise Twaronite. “Work is changing,” she observes. “The technology to connect anywhere and anytime means that people are expected to be on call 24 hours a day, especially in global companies that operate across different time zones. The other side of that is that employers are adapting to peoples lives outside of workbecause they have to be.” (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN W
