If you hired someone to do house hold work and you were able to control what they did and how they did it, you had a household employee; this is true even if you gave the employee freedom for action. What matters is that you had the right to control the details of how the work was done. For example, you paid Betty Oak to babysit（临时照看孩子）your child and do light homework 4days a weak in your home. Betty followed your specific instructions about household and child care duties. You provided the household equipment and supplies Betty needed to do her work. Betty is your household employee.Household work is done in or around your home. Some examples of workers who do household work are: babysitters, caretakers, cleaning people, drivers, health aides（助手）, housekeepers, private nurses, yard workers.If a worker is your employee, it does not matter whether the work is full or part time or whether you hired the worker through an agency or from a list provided by an agency or association. Also, it does not matter if the wages paid are for work done hourly, daily, weekly, or by the job.Cash wages include wages paid by checks, money orders, etc. Cash wages do not include value of food, lodging, clothing, or other non-cash items you give a household employee.46.

For years scientists have asked themselves this question. Does laughter help us to survive in any way? The answer seems to be like this: smiling and laughter help us relax, reducing tension(紧张) and preventing illnesses which are caused by stress. Laughter really is the best medicine!But if you are unhappy, it cannot do you any good to smile, can it? Not true. Obviously, the positive effects of smiling are just the same whether you feel like smiling or not. Scientists in California asked a group of actors to act five different feelings: happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and fear just using their faces. Changes in their heart rate, blood pressure and temperature were written down. Most of the feelings they acted did not cause changes, but when the actors smiled their heart rate and their blood pressure went down. So even if we feel sad inside, smiling seems to make us feel better.A sense of humor also helps to keep things on their positive side. Interfering friends or a flat tire (轮胎漏气) wont seem so bad if you can see the funny side. So if you find yourself in a stressful situation, try to imagine how it must seem to an outside with a sense of humor and let yourself laugh it off. A scientist writes: “If you try to show a positive reaction and start to laugh, you will actually become happier.”51.

He is a computer programmer in a German company in Nanchang.The job also marks the latest of several moves he has made in the last four years. In that period, he has worked in several cities including Nanchang, Wuhan, and now Nanchang.His first job, also his longest, was for a State-owned enterprise producing communication products and lasted one year. His last job, also his shortest, was in designing web pages and lasted three months.“I am not the most frequent changer of jobs in this industry,” Yang said. “Working in IT (information technology) companies, I have become accustomed to welcoming new colleagues today and to seeing them off the next month.”“I have always been in a turbulent (动荡的) situation, and no job gives me a feeling of stability,”In sharp contrast with Yang, Wendy, a lawyer in the Nanchang branch of a Beijing-based big law firm, dared not ask for a half a days leave to go hospital when she was suffering from a serious cold and cough.“The boss warns us to work 24 hours a day and you would be mad to ask for leave for illness” said Wendy.

According to an official report, in one big city alone, since 1986, nearly 1,000,000 adult workers have lost their jobs because of factory closing and cutbacks either temporarily laid off or permanent forced to retire.Many people, especially the policy makers, believe that forcing adult workers, those who are over 45 to retire is an effective means to relieve the tension of unemployment, for it can provide more job opportunities for the jobless young. But they fail to notice that forcing a person who is still able to work and has a family to support to retire brings serious financial problems as well as emotional and physical ones. They also fail to realize that actually, workers aged 45-60 tend to be more stable, more skillful and more experienced than workers of any other ages, that, to some extent, this age is the prime time for ones productivity and creativity. To force them to retire is a huge waste of the nations best resources. On the contrary, if we turn our attention to the other end of the range of ages, a more effective way might appear. Today only 3% school leavers are allowed to go to college, leaving the majority of the young people under 18 without adequate preparation to join the labor force.
