                                                               Tips for a Happier Workplace

          You don't have to be friends with your co-workers, but you do need to be fri endly. Read on for fresh ways to make your office a kinder, gentler place.

          ◆Give a happy “Hello! ”in the morning

Do you walk into the office, eyes down, and immediately start work? If so, you are likely to find that co-workers ignore(忽视)you or avoid you.（1）{#blank#}1{#/blank#} It's really amazing how fast this small gesture can change unfriendly workplace relations.

          ◆Learn the art of small talk

          Ask your co-workers about their interests—their favorite music, movies, and books, as well as their hobbies. （2）{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Once you know what catches their imagination, pick up stories from newspapers or magazines to help start conversations.

          ◆Ask what they think

          People love to be asked for their opinion, so go out of your way to ask, “What do you think of this report? ” or “How do you think I should deal with this situation? ” （3）{#blank#}3{#/blank#} 

◆Avoid gossip(流言飞语)（4）{#blank#}4{#/blank#} So return the favor. When a co-worker walks towards you bearing a piece of gossip, respond(回应)with, “Really? ”and then change the subject or get back to work. If you don't respond, the gossiper will move on.

          ◆（5）{#blank#}5{#/blank#} 

To win friends at work, start with good office etiquette(礼节). There's nothing more frustrating(令人沮丧的)to busy co-workers than to have their emails and phone messages ignored. Your silence doesn't just make their jobs harder; it also conveys(传达)an unpleasant message: You are unimportant to me.

          A. Stop complaining.

          B. Return calls and emails immediately.

          C. Then give the advice giver a silent thank-you.

          D. Always work as hard as anyone working for you.

          E. You don't want anyone talking about you behind your back, right?

          F. Showing an interest in them will make them feel comfortable around you.

          G. Get into the habit of greeting your co-workers with a smile as you arrive in the morning.

       Whether in the home or the workplace，social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years.Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way，said Cynthia Breazeal，chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.

        While household robots today do the normal housework，social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools.For example，these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad.This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.

        The Jibo robot，arranged to ship later this year，is designed to be a personalized assistant.You can talk to the robot，ask it questions，and make requests for it to perform different tasks.The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions；it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household.It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.

       Social robots are not just finding their way into the home.They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.

       Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market.The company's “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store，which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product's location in the store.It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.

       The more interaction the robot has with humans，the more it learns.But Oshbot，like other social robots，is not intended to replace workers，but to work alongside other employees.“We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us，but with us，”said Breazeal.
