译林版高中英语学案选择性必修第四册精品课件 Unit 3 分层跟踪检测(二)

B (2024·江苏连云港期末)A number of studies have looked at how family life can affect productivity and satisfaction in the workplace,but there has been surprisingly little research on the influence of leisure activities. So Ciara Kelly at Sheffield University and co-workers surveyed 129 hobbyists to look at how the time spent on their hobbies shaped their work life. To begin with,the team measured the seriousness of each participant’s hobby,asking them to rate their agreement with statements like “I regularly train for this activity”,and also assessed how similar the demands of their job and hobby were. Then,each month for seven months,participants recorded how many hours they had devoted to their

Why might that be? To maintain a serious hobby,people need to invest significant psychological resources—so if the activity has the same kinds of demands as their work,they may be left tired and unable to perform as well at their job. But if their hobby is quite different from their career,it may not interfere（干预） in the same way but instead help them develop other knowledge and skills that can boost their confidence at work.
“At 2:30 pm,I’d go to hospital for dialysis,where each treatment would take more than four hours. Every Monday,I also undergo other treatments at the hospital. Indeed,it is quite exhausting when I return home late at night after undergoing treatments. And the next day I have to go to school to teach,but I do not regard it as a big trouble,and I will certainly come to school to teach my students for I am interested in my job,” she said.
Still,the results suggest that companies may want to encourage employees to develop interests outside of work,as long as those activities differ from their day-today tasks.
The researchers found that when participants spent longer than normal doing their leisure activity,their belief in their ability to perform their job increased. But this was only the case when they had a serious hobby that was dissimilar to their job,or when their hobby was similar to their work but they only did it occasionally. When their hobby was both serious and similar to their job,then spending more time on it actually had a detrimental effect,decreasing their self-efficacy.
