The most hated day of the week is misunderstood. When the Boomtown Rats, an Irishband, released “IDon't Like Mondays” in 1979, the song became an instant hit.
What many. do recognise all too well is the difficulty of gathering the energy to get out of bedonMondaymornings in order to face the week ahead. Many bosses argue that starting off the week inperson inthe officecreates good energy. However, plenty of employees be g to differ.
A paper published by the Journal of Applied Psychology, found that people tend to be more ill-manneredon Mondays, and grow more polite as the week unfolds. The authors have diagnosed anewcondition, Mondayitis, which is defined. as “a systemic illness with collections of symptomsincludingtiredness, light-headedness, dry mouth and headache” . These symptoms typically appear onthe firstworking day after a periodoff work, which could be a weekend or a longer holiday. They canleadsufferers to call in sick, decide to workfrom home or, if they do show up in the office, comeacross asdetached（冷漠的） and unavailable. Mondayitis appears to be infecting other days of the week.
However, the covid-19 pandemic h à s led many people to re-evaluate their work-life balance. AlawyerinLondon who spends weekends working on cases likes to ease into the formal workweek with anelegantbreakfastin a fancy restaurant. A broader movement is promoting the idea of a four-dayworkweek, onearrangement ofwhich would make Monday part of the weekend. Less ambitiously, andmore realistically, asocial-mediacampaign for "bare-minimum Mondays" argues for a gentle start to theweek.
You may have prepared or merely enjoyed a more elaborate meal than a sandwich. You mayhavegone for a walk in the park or simply lay in bed. Either way, you almost certainly cleared yourhead. When revived andspirited, you will have a fresh start.

After thinking for a moment or two, I told her that maybe my mom didn't trust us or thought we wouldgetintotrouble at the beach party. I also suggested that maybe she was worried we would drown, but added thatweall knewhow to swim and look after ourselves.

Dear Henry,
A remarkable exhibition entitled "Spring Festival Couplets"will be held next Friday afternoon in
our school Conference Hall,so I'm writing to extend my sincere invitation.
Aimed at inheriting and carrying forward the profound Chinese culture and civilization and
enriching students extracurricular life,this grand event features a wide variety of works written
by skilled calligraphers.The couplet,composed of two sentences on both sides and an auspicious
phrase above is a special form of literature and tradition.During the Chinese New Year,people
usually put on the couplets to place hopes on the future life,symbolizing prosperity for the
coming new year.
We'll be honored by your presence and the reply at your convenience is highly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Li Hua
"Maybe think of some solutions,"suggested Gran."Your mother is probably just worried about
your safety.See if there's a way you can ease her concerns and still enjoy the party."I took her
words to heart and began brainstorming ideas.Could we perhaps invite a responsible adult to
accompany us Or establish a set of rules and guidelines to ensure everyone's safety
Determined to find a compromise,I set out to devise a plan that would satisfy both my mother
and my desire to attend the party.
Then I ran to my mother in no time.I explained my idea of inviting a trusted friend's parent to
accompany us to the beach party,ensuring that there would be adult supervision present.My
mother listened attentively,her expression softening as she heard my proposal.After a moment
of consideration,she nodded her head in agreement.I let out a sigh of relief,grateful for my
mother's understanding and for Gran's valuable advice.With this newfound permission,I was
finally able to look forward to the beach party with excitement and anticipation.
