Honesty is often said to be the best policy in social situations but being yourself at work is not a good idea for your career, research suggests.
While revealing your true character to a partner or friends is likely to make you happier, experts claim doing so at the office is not a recipe for promotion. Scientists assessed levels of people they interacted with socially.
The results showed that participants were more likely to
―be themselves
and then parents. However, they were much less likely to show their true self to work colleagues.
Those who opened up to their partners tended to have greater well-being and were more satisfied with life. But the same benefits were not seen from being authentic at work. Dr Oliver Robinson, from the University of Greenwich in London, secret of happiness is ?being yourselfworkplace.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. How many volunteers did the scientists assess?
27. Whom were the participants much less likely to show their true self to? 28. Where did the annual meeting of the British Psychological Society take place? Passage Two
Americans hate their jobs more than ever before in the past 20 years, with fewer than half saying they are satisfied.
The trend is strongest among workers under the age of 25, less than 39 percent of whom are satisfied with their jobs.
Workers age 45 to 54 have the second lowest level of satisfaction, according to a survey conducted by The Conference Board, a market information company.
Older people like their jobs more. Nearly half of all workers over 55 are satisfied with their employment situation.
Overall, dissatisfaction has spread among all workers, regardless of age, income or residence. Twenty years ago, the first time the survey was conducted, 61 percent of all Americans said they were satisfied with their jobs, according to the representative survey of 5,000 U.S. households, said Lynn Franco, director of the Conference Board
‘s Consumer Research Center.
Money rarely buys happiness but it can buy job satisfaction. People making under $15,000 per year reported the lowest satisfaction while those making more than $50,000 per year said they were the most satisfied.
People living in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania are the most dissatisfied, with less than 41% percent saying they are satisfied with their current job, and people living in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico were most likely to whistle while they work (56 percent reported being satisfied).
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. Which group of people is most dissatisfied with their jobs?
30. According to the survey of 5,000 U.S. households, how many Americans were satisfied with their jobs
twenty years ago?
31. What can money buy according to the passage?
32. Which of the following areas is not among the ones that people are most dissatisfied to live in? Passage Three
Leading British companies recruited fewer graduates in 2012 than 2011, according to a study of 100 top companies, the first drop in three years and an indicator of continued economic uncertainty in the corporate sector.
There were 0.8% fewer graduate-level jobs among the 100 companies, with the biggest reductions at investment banks and accounting firms, according to the report by a specialist market research company, High Fliers.
There is mixed news for those leaving university this year and currently buried under applications forms. On a positive note, the companies surveyed said they expected overall vacancies to nudge up by 2.7% this year. However, such is the competition for places, virtually all will be taken by graduates with sometimes extensive experience on work placements or holiday work, very often at the same company.
Those who do get jobs this year will earn an average starting salary of 29,000, unchanged for a fourth ￡straight year but still some way above the UK average full-time wage of 26,500. This does, of course, vary ￡
between sectors, with newly minted investment bankers starting on an average ￡45,000 while those in the
public sector earn about 22,000. ￡
Overall, however, the picture remains somewhat gloomy for those already leaving university with huge debts–the expected 2013 vacancies remain 11% lower than the pre-recession level of 2007. Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Here is a 49-year-old woman who is reportedly worth 18 million dollars seeking a husband through an online advertisement since May 20.
Some 394 men—including doctors, lawyers, accountants, soldiers and government employees and ranging in age from 26 to 49 years—responded to the advertisement.
―As a business operator, she was too busy to find her husband herself,matchmaking agency said.

Advertisements are designed to maximize the interest for companies, not for the society. Advertisements are both commercial and cultural in nature. Due to the conflict between commercial interests and social effects, advertising does more harm than good to us as a whole. Below are a few examples.
Firstly, many advertisements provide false information, more or less. They mislead us or, more seriously, trick us into buying things that are harmful to our health. For instance, there are many kinds of weigh-reducing drinks in the ads, with so-called experts or even movie stars telling consumers how good these products are. However, some of these products are found to have safety problems and even negative health effects.
Secondly, many advertisements often exaggerate the benefits of the products, trying to make them look better than they actually are. They tell us everything about the productsside effects.
Thirdly, when we surf the Internet, often an advertisement window pops up, which contains strong violence, sexuality, bad language, or even drug content. Such advertisement negatively affects the physical and mental health of Internet users, especially teenagers.
Fourthly, when we watch TV series or shows, there are always tons of advertisements injected here and there, forcing us to watch unwanted stuffs and waste a lot of time.
Last but not least, there are many advertisements written on or stuck to light poles, walls, grounds, and so on. They are not only an eyesore to passers-by, but also a hazard to our environment. Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. What is the main idea of the passage you have heard?
30. What products are found to have safety problems in the first example of the passage? 31. How do advertisements exaggerate the benefits of products according to the passage?
32. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the example to show negative effects of advertisements? Passage Three
