　　1.

　　Hotel managers make sure their staff are providing friendly service and the hotel building and room facilities are in good condition.They may also hire staff，work with marketing and the hotel's finances and make sure banquets are running properly.Because the manager's job is pivotal(关键的) to the hotel，many work over 40 hours a week.

　　2.

　　Working as a hotel manager means long working hours and managing a variety of employees in different departments：you will need to keep track of the cleaning staff，the cooks，the front desk and other employees，depending on the size of the hotel you are managing.Because of the great amount of responsibility you have undertaken，you may become stressed out.Managing stress and handling stressful situations calmly will keep your staff reassured and allow you to resolve any problems with hotel operations more quickly.

　　3.

　　It is an essential skill for a hotel manager.The hotel must be run according to specific standards.You will need to make sure the maids are cleaning the rooms properly and maintaining sanitation conditions.You will also need to make sure the hotel restaurant is following state health guidelines，when preparing food for guests.You will also want to make sure rooms are properly cleaned before guests receive their room keys.Walk through your hotel and check rooms at random to make sure your staff are keeping up with the cleaning.

　　4.

　　It is one of the most important skills you will need as a hotel manager.At work，you will be managing employees from all departments as well as working with customers.You will need to let employees know whether or not they are doing their jobs correctly in a way that will encourage them rather than frustrate them.You will also need to turn on your smile for customers and let them know why staying at your hotel is a good decision.

　　5.

　　As a hotel manager，you will likely be dealing with multiple employees and customers at the same time.However，if you fail to listen to what each person is saying，you might miss an important issue with the hotel or give customers the idea that your hotel doesn't care their needs or business.This could damage the reputation of your hotel and cause you to lose business.This is why taking the time to listen to what people around you are saying is important；employees' concerns about the work environment can cause them to be less friendly and not to work as efficiently.

　　答案　1.B　2.C　3.A　4.F　5.E

　　Daily habits can affect our wellbeing.Here are five simple actions that research has shown make people feel good.

　　1.

　　Pause now and then to smell a rose or watch children at play.“Study participants who took time to savor ordinary events that they normally hurried through，or to think back on pleasant moments from their day，showed significant increases in happiness and reductions in depression，”says psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky.

　　2.

　　People who put money high on their priority list are more at risk for depression，anxiety，and low selfesteem，according to researchers Tim Kasser and Richard Ryan.Their findings hold true across nations and cultures.“The more we seek satisfactions in material goods，the less we find them there，”Ryan says.“The satisfaction has a short halflife—it's very fleeting.” Moneyseekers also score lower on tests of vitality and selfactualization.

　　3.

　　“People who struggle for something significant，whether it's learning a new craft or raising moral children，are far happier than those who don't have strong dreams or aspirations，”say Ed Diener and Robert BiswasDiener.“As humans，we actually require a sense of meaning to thrive.”Harvard's professor，Tal BenShahar，agrees，“Happiness lies at the intersection between pleasure and meaning.Whether at work or at home，the goal is to engage in activities that are both personally significant and enjoyable.”

　　4.

　　People who keep gratitude journals on a weekly basis are healthier，more optimistic，and more likely to make progress toward achieving personal goals，according to author Robert Emmons.Research by Martin Seligman，founder of positive psychology，revealed that people who write “gratitude letters” to someone who made a difference in their lives score higher on happiness，and lower on depression—and the effect lasts for weeks.

　　5.

　　A study by Duke University shows that exercise may be just as effective as drugs in treating depression，without all the side effects and expense.Other research shows that in addition to health benefits，regular exercise offers a sense of accomplishment and opportunity for social interaction，releases feelgood endorphins，and boosts selfesteem.

　　答案　1.C　2.D　3.B　4.E　5.A
