C Nearly a quarter of British workers plug in their MP3 players to listen to music while on the job--- sparking lively debate over whether they should be banned, a study said. Over 30 percent of companies have outlawed using devices like the ipod in the workplace, according to Woods Bagot, an international design practice. “By wearing the highly-visible, white headphones, they’re-sending a signal to colleagues that they don't want to be bothered, said Simon Pole, head of a company. According to the study, 22 percent of workers spend an average of three hours per day listening to MP3 players. But some argue that the trend is only natural: previously workers were physically separated by walls, whereas offices are increasingly open-plan nowadays, pushing them to erect new barriers. “The MP3 player is the simplest way to create your own office, said the company. And Cary Cooper, professor of organization psychology at Lancaster University, and author of “Shut up and Listen: The Truth about How to Communicate at Work, said bans were counter-productive. “Employers are wrong to ban MP3 players from the workplace. Bosses shouldn't care about how employees accomplish their objectives or whether theywant to engross themselves in MP3 players --- as long as the job gets done, he added. 63. What did the debate about according to the study? A. Whether it is allowed for workers to take ipods to work. B. Whether communication among workers is needed in office. C. Whether bosses care about the way employees accomplish their goals. D. Whether it should be banned to listen to music while on the job. 64. Who may approve of the using of MP3 player at work according to the report? A. Woods Bagot B. Simon Pole C. Cary Cooper D. Nobody 65. What does the word “outlaw probably mean? A. Forbid B. Permit C. Protect D. Declare 66. Why do some people believe that listening to MP3 players while working is natural? A. Workers need barriers to separate themselves from others. B. It may help to improve the workers’ efficiency. C. It is important to learn to commmunicate at work. D. Workers should not be bothered while working. 查看更多
