Thats why offices are creating a new mixture of furniture zones that offer both laid-back and traditional seating options.Smaller offices, smaller carbon footprintThere are huge bonuses, both financially and environmentally, to offices employing more remote workers. For employers, less people in the office equals less needed space meaning they can save huge amounts of money by renting or building smaller office spaces, and by using less energy and water, lowering their utility bills. For employees, smaller offices in turn will reduce air pollution and help create a smaller carbon footprint.Designated desks are no longer the normThe days of cubicles (小隔间) and assigned desk stations are finally coming to an end. As more office employees start working from home full-time or only come into work on certain days of the week, it makes no sense for employers to keep individual, assigned desks around for everyone.Technology that cuts the barrier between office and homeWhen offices have more employees working from home - or even from other countries -its vital to have the proper technology to connect people together easily. To do this, offices are using VoIP phones, which make phone calls through the internet rather than regular landlines, to help employees around the world appear as though theyre calling from the office.1.

As the most intelligent creatures to ever walk the earth, we tend to assume that we are the only ones who can feel emotions. We forget that the speechless beings who live here with us - animals - also have the same capability.During a cold night in Ontario, Canada, a passer-by spotted something on the side of the road that made her stop - a shaking dog curled up in the snow.When she approached the pup, she discovered that she wasnt alone - she was cuddling five orphaned black kittens to keep them warm.The dog surely could have found a safer place to stay for the night, but she chose instead to help not just herself but other stray animals as well.The Good Samaritan called Pet and Wildlife Rescue and an animal control officer picked them up. When they got to the shelter, it was apparent that a close bond had already been formed between the dog and the orphaned kittens. The staff decided to name the kind dog Serenity in honor of her selfless act.Its truly heartwarming! a shelter spokesperson told The Dodo. “It had been a very cold night so these kittens would have had a very hard time surviving.”Aside from requiring treatment for worm and flea infections, the orphaned kittens are now safe. Just like a proud and doting mother, Serenity insisted on checking on her babies regularly to oversee their progress.The good news is that the kittens are now living with a foster family who will care for them until they are old enough to be adopted. Serenity, on the other hand, is still looking for a family.According to the shelter, she loves zooming around in the yard and is big on playing. She is also quite jumpy, so she would do best in a home without small children.4. What did the passer-by see on the road?A. A dog curled up in the snow. B. Five kittens were in the snow alone.C.
