Many Americans experience surprise (or disappointment) when they wake up on Christmas Day. They might

be surprised or disappointed by a family member’s actions. They might be happy or unhappy about a Christmas

gift. Imagine a child expects to get an Xbox or PlayStation for Christmas. On Christmas morning, they quickly open

their gift. Inside is an English grammar book. They might feel disappointed. The Everyday Grammar team would

prefer the new English grammar book. But if you are like most young people, you would probably rather have a

new video game.

Today, we are going to explore those feelings-feelings of surprise and disappointment. In other words, we are

going to explore how speakers show that reality was better or worse than their expectations.

Many languages use words to express expectation. Speakers also use words to express how events are not

happening as expected. This idea is known as “counter expectation”.

Do not worry about the term. Just remember that it means that speakers use words to show that reality is

countering their expectations.

English has many words that serve this purpose. Three of the most common are the words “even”, “still” and

“actually”. You will often hear them in informal, everyday speech. Speakers use these words to show

disappointment. The pitch of their voice tells you what they mean. Let’s study examples of each word.

Speakers often use the word "even” to show disappointment or surprise. Imagine a young child that expects

a phone call from a family member-perhaps an uncle or grandparent. The phone call never comes. The child might

say the following: “What’s wrong with him? He didn’t even call me on Christmas day.” Americans sometimes use

“still” for showing how reality does not quite meet their expectations: “You’re still here? It’s over! Go home. Go!”

Another common word that shows surprise or disappointment is “actually”: “I can’t believe it! Uncle Bob actually

stole her Christmas gift.”

4. What might most young Americans prefer as a Christmas gift according to paragraph 1?

A. A newly made video game. B. An English grammar book. C. A new designed school bag. D. A unique jacket from their parents.

5. What does the underlined phrase “counter expectation” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Expression of disappointment. B. Something expected to happen.

C. The same with one’s expectation. D. A result against what is expected.

6. What do the three words “even”, “still” and “actually” have in common?

A. They are easy to understand. B. They express disappointment.

C. They show delighted feelings. D. They are used most at Christmas.

7. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?

A. Expectations from loved ones. B. Different uses of the three words.

C. Examples of the use of the three words. D. Emotions of disappointment and surprise.

Now most of the workers work from 9 am to 5 pm. However, according to the global Internet survey done by

the UK Sleep Council, thesiesta（午睡）was the right idea all along. The UK Sleep Council called on the

country'sbosses to end nine-to-five working in favor of more flexible hours. They believe what would really

increase the workers' productivity is a nice afternoon nap, rather than those bonuses.

Forty-one percent of the 12,000 people who responded to the council's survey said they were most

productive in the morning, while 38 percent said theyhit their stridein the evening. "This means most of them

cannot fully pay attention to what they do in the middle of the day," said sleep expert Dr. Chris Idzikowskii. "We

must conclude from this survey that the traditional nine-to-five working day does not suit most workers." He

suggested that allowing workers to follow their natural sleeping habits would actually benefit employers by

allowing them to expand their working hours and be more productive.

Fortunately, being a college lecturer, I don't have to go to work everyday. I only work three days a week, but

during the three days I work really long hours and have no time for a little siesta. I'm usually so tired and sleepy in

the afternoon, which really affects thevitality（活力）of my classes.

I think Dr. Chris Idzikowskii's idea is worthwhile. When people have flexible working hours they could reach

their highest productivity. On top of that, flexible working hours mean thatpeople don't have to work all at the

same time. That way we could avoid traffic jams. Therefore, it's really killing two birds with one stone!

8. What can improve the workers' productivity, according to the UK Sleep Council?

A. More bonuses. B. The flexible working time.

C. Working for long hours. D. Working in a relaxing way.
