Reаding Sectiоn 2: Reаd the pаssage and answer the questiоns that fоllow.The Best Medicine#1. Time off is like medicine. Studies show that vacations are as important as watching your cholesterol or getting exercise. An annual holiday can cut the risk of heart attack in men by 30 percent and in women by 50 percent. Vacations have been shown to cure burnout, the last stage of chronic stress, which is so prevalent in today's 24-7, constant busyness of life. Time away from the source of stressors can help refill depleted emotional resources, such as one’s sense of accomplishment and connection within their community.#2. Quality leisure time is a major stress buffer, shielding us from the stressors of the day. Researchers have demonstrated that certain leisure activities can reduce depression as well as anxiety. It does that by increasing the fun and sense of adventure. Leisure experiences also increase positive mood, improve self-esteem, reduce loneliness, and may result in self-actualization—when you’re able to tap into your potential and perform at your best.#3. Employers benefit from their people performing at optimal levels. The recharge from a vacation refuels employees’ work. One study showed how vacations boost energy reserves so that employees need less effort to get work done when they return. Counter to the 24-7 work mentality, productivity is not a function of how long or torturously you work. The source of true productivity is a refreshed and energized mind.#4. Vacations help us see through the “time-is-money” myth that keeps life on hold by placing all value and self-worth on production, on dollars-per-minute of output, and none on the input—living. What we learn on vacation, perhaps while sitting at the beach and watching sand and water swirl around our toes, is that time itself is the most valuable currency. #5. In recent years, research has detailed that increasing levels of performance, money, and status can't produce life satisfaction because they're based on what others think. The thrill of a job promotion is gone in two weeks; for a lottery winner, it's gone in two months—and then you're back to however you felt before. A study of the Forbes 400 richest Americans found they were only marginally happier than the average American, while a number of them were absolutely miserable. Lasting happiness or satisfaction comes when people take more time to enjoy the life they have, not constantly strive for something better.#6. Gregory Berns, author of Satisfaction: The Science of Finding True Fulfillment, says brain neurons crave two things critical to long-term life satisfaction—novelty and challenge. Humans have a biochemical need to taste the unknown. When we glimpse what's around the next bend on a mountain trail or navigate through white water rapids, our brains get a burst of dopamine, a chemical that drives reward centers and gives us the high of discovery. It's as good as life gets, says Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of Flow, because these times give us what nobody else can— a sense we're determining the content of our lives.#7. So how do you get more of this magic elixir? Start taking your time as seriously as your money. Ask for more of it. It's no different than asking for a raise. Offer your employer a bargain that your productivity will increase with the extra time off. For example, a sales executive had only a week off to go to China, which wasn’t even enough time to get over jet lag. So he asked his manager for a second week, promising an increase in productivity if he got it. The salesman came back from the trip rejuvenated, his performance skyrocketed, and the boss was so impressed he wound up giving everyone in the company two weeks off. Companies that have boosted vacation policies to three weeks tend to see profits and productivity soar. Not only do employees benefit from taking time off, but companies do as well. ------------------------------------------- What is the main purpose of this passage?
