22、Richard Nixon. If they had job-related stress, they kept it private. Now American families are expected to be more intimate. While this has resulted in a lot more hugs, “I love you,“ and attendance at kids football games, unfortunately we parents also insist on sharing the frustrations of our work l

23、ives.While we have complained about our jobs or fallen asleep in car-pool lines, our children have been noticing. They are worried about us. A new survey, “Ask the children“, conducted by the Families and Work Institute of New York City, queried more than 1,000 kids between the ages of 8 and 18 abou

24、t their parents work lives. “If you were granted one wish to change the way your parents work affected your life,“ the survey asked kids, “what would that wish be?“ Most parents assumed that children would want more time with them, but only 10% did. Instead, the most common wish(among 34%)was that p

25、arents would be less stressed and tired by work.Allison Levin is the mother of three young children and is a professional in the growing field of “work / life quality“. Levin counsels employees who are overwhelmed by their work and family obligations to carefully review their commitments not only at

26、 the office but at home and in the community too and start paring them down. “Its not about getting up earlier in the morning so you can get more done,“ she says. “Its about saying no and making choices.“We can start by leaving work, and thoughts of work, behind as soon as we start the trip home. Do

27、 something to get yourself in a good mood, like listening to music, rather than returning calls on the cell phone. When you get home, change out of your work clothes, let the answering machine take your calls, and stay away from e-mail. When your kids ask about your day, tell them about something go

28、od that happened.(In the survey, 69% of moms said they liked their work, but only 42% of kids thought their mothers really did.)Parents can also de-stress by cutting back on their childrens activities.

29、 and the theater troupe. Parents should also sneak away from work and family occasionally to have some fun. I keep a basketball in the trunk of my car.

35、ng agencies, theses or dissertations as part of the requirements for university degrees, and papers to be presented at conferences. These formats differ from one another mostly in their purposes and the audiences to whom they address. We will now briefly describe them.The journal article is a way of

36、 reporting research for professional journals or edited collections. The research is reporting in a brief, yet informative way, focusing mostly on the main features of the research such as the purpose, review of the literature(often referred to as “background“), procedures used for carrying out the

37、research accompanied by tables, charts, and graphs, and interpretations of the results(often referred to as discussion).The content and emphasis of the journal article will vary according to the intended readers(research or practitioners)and it is important for the researcher to be aware of the back

38、ground and interest of the readers of the journal. Articles intended to be read by practitioners will emphasize the practical implications and recommendations of the research, while articles intended to be read by researchers will describe in detail the method used to collect data, the construction

39、of data collection procedures, and the techniques used for analyzing the data. It is important for the novice researcher to be aware of the fact that articles submitted to journals go through a process of evaluation by experts who make a judgment and recommend whether they should be published or not

40、.The thesis or dissertation is a format for reporting research which graduate students write as part of fulfilling the requirements for an advanced academic degree. The student is expected to describe in great detail all the phases of the research so it can be examined and evaluated carefully by the

41、 reader. Thus the thesis or dissertation includes the purpose and significance of the study, the rationale, a thorough review of the literature, detailed information as to the research tools and the procedures involved in their development, a description of data analysis and the results, and an inte

42、rpretation of the results in the form of conclusions, implications, and recommendation. This detailed description of the process of the research is needed to provide the professors with an indication of the students ability to carry out research.The conference paper is a way of reporting research at

43、 conferences, seminars and colloquia. At such meetings research papers are usually presented orally. They are similar to the research article since research is reported in a concise, yet informative way, focusing on the most essential elements of the research. Handouts and transparencies can also ac

44、company the presentations. As with the research article, here too, the content and emphasis of the oral report will depend to a large extent on the type of audience present at the meeting, and whether they are researchers or practitioners.46 The best title for this passage could be_.（A）Types of Rese

45、arch Reports（B） Types of Journal Articles（C） Writing of research Reports（D）Writing of Different Articles47 The common aspect for the journal articles, theses and conference papers lies in that_.（A）they are all for the practitioners（B） they are all to be read by researchers（C） they are all for being

49、tical implications and recommendations of the research.（C） By focusing on the detailed description of the process of the research such as the tools, procedures, the process of data analysis, the results, conclusions, etc.（D）By noticing the detailed method used to collect the data, the construction of the data collection procedures, the techniques for analyzing the date and results, etc
