Why We Need Vacations
There’s more to a vacation than can be described in travel books. We certainly need breaks from work. But there is even more to be said for a get-away break, leaving all daily work behind and living a different life for a short time.
The benefits of taking a vacation start long before the suitcases are packed. A vacation is something to look forward to. It gives us the sense that whatever is happening at the moment will end soon.
Companies sometimes use away-breaks to restore(恢复) motivation and team relationships. If you’re able to switch off and leave your daily work behind, when you come back, you often view old situations with fresh eyes and see them in a new way.
People don’t disappear while on vacation. We’re still thinking and feeling the

We might speak to people we wouldn’t normally meet, try sports we’d not do otherwise, and discover interests we never knew we had.
Vacations also allow us to focus on the present in a way that’s hard to do at home. When you’re in a new environment for a short time, your attention tends to be on what’s happening right now and in the next few days. Being “in the moment” is in itself one of the keys to getting relaxed, and this happens more naturally on vacation.
Every vacation is an adventure full of potential discoveries. Perhaps more than anything else, vacations enable us to raise our eyes from familiar paths so that we can look around and see that there’s a world out there.

【文章导读】本文主要讲述了度假的几个好处。 【答案及解析】
1.A细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话“There’s more to a vacation than can be
described in travel books”可知，假期的意义很多，有待我们去发现，与题目意思相近，题目表述正确，故选A。
2.B细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话“The benefits of taking a vacation is something
to look forward to”可知，人们早在准备行李之前就认识到了度假的好处，题目说的是“我们准备好行李后才开始意识到度假的好处”，与文章意思相悖，故选B。 3.A细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“It gives us the sense that whatever is happening
at the moment will end soon”可知，人们期望通过度假来结束目前的一切，与题目意思相近，故选A。
4.C细节理解题。定位到第三段第一句话“Companies sometimes use away-breaks to
restore motivation and team relationships”，公司常常利用放假来恢复员工的士气、修复团队关系，却并没有提到在假期会不会给员工发工资，故选C。
