Personal Time Off(PTO)is something my wife and I created after having kids. We learned that，over time，a full

life can leave little time for personal rest and for reflection，hanging out with friends，or just being“off. ”So，after

a number of years，we make a change. If I can persuade you to take your own PTO，then these might help.

■Schedule it

First of all，one of our favorite family sayings is“schedule it. ”Sounds easy enough，but life gets complicated

managing full-time work and full-time family. Put yourPTO time on the calendar and you make it a real thing.

■Be flexible and strict

If you can schedule PTO at the same time each week，then all the better. Because our calendar can get rather

full，flexibility in scheduling becomes a necessity. But being strict in actually taking the time each week is more

important. Skipping it once makes it easier to skip again.

■Take enough time

My typical PTO lasts a couple of hours or longer. Sometimes it might be half the day depending on what I’m

doing. The goal is to spend enough time away to1et your shoulders drop.

■Do what you want to do

Remember，PTO time is about personal time to do what you want to do，not what you have to do. PTO time

is about relaxation. Grab a friend and get a beer. Work can wait until tomorrow.

1.What can be the first step to take the PTO?

A.Persuade the family.

B.Have a personal rest.

D.Make a time plan.

2.What does the underlined part“let your shoulders drop”probably mean?

My sister Alice and I have been trying to get people tostop dropping cigarette（香烟）butts（烟头）for seven

years. One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground. They made

the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people dropping butts. We called it “No Butts

About It”.

At first, we drew pictures with “The Earth is not your ashtray（烟灰缸）”written on them. We put the pictures

around our hometown—in parks, by beaches, and along roads. We wanted to make people understand that

dropping butts hurts the environment. Most smokers don’t think that dropping butts hurts the Earth. But it does,

and all rubbish does!

Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays to

give to smokers. We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn’t have to drop butts.

At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes. Some

companies want to do it. Many people have started to join our group since it began. Today there are 45 other “No

Butts About It” groups inAmerica.

Now there even groups inEngland,Australia, andIndia! Many newspapers have written about my sister and

me over the last seven years. And we have won many prizes for what we do. But we are not interested in prizes.

We just want to make the Earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people.

One day, it will be.

The Rise of Voice Technology

Voice technology has come a long way. Just a few years ago, it would have been unusable. But now, those

who follow the technology know that it has got considerably better.

Writing with your voice raises several interesting questions. How difficult is it actually? Human speech

involves a lot more starting and stopping with errors and the need for repairing broken sentences than you may
