In the past few decades, the popular belief in the area of organizational behavior and psychology has been that    小題1:    workers are better workers. However, new research at the University of Alberta shows that sad workers are more    小題2:    .
Psychologist Dr. Robert Sinclair recently conducted a series of four studies 小題3:   the effects of experimentally induced ( 誘發(fā)的 ) happiness versus sadness on work    小題4:     by asking the participants to build circuit boards. In the first study, sad people committed    小題5:     few errors than did happy people, but there was no difference in the number of boards    小題6:    .
In similar studies Sinclair found the same results along with the evidence that happy people might not     小題7:    as much energy to the task in order to maintain their happy moods ---- they considered that task as something that might detract from their     小題8:    feelings.
These findings are not surprising, said Sinclair, since there has been a growing body of literature in the area of social psychology     小題9:   that sad moods lead to more calm lengthy intent consideration and often, more thought or accurate judgments.

Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom industry. Date speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones. 20
“Mobile data is not a dream; it’s not an option but a requirement,” said Len Lauer, head of a US communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.
With3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday’s news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.
Face-to-face­ video calls
Don’t worry about getting lost, 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.
However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.
Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the US Government issued five licenses to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year.
International telecom companies can’t wait to sell 3G in China, the world’s largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops.
“We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service,” said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile. “We expect that the 3G licenses will be issued late next year.”
