18、company Citrix,most bosses are doubtful about remote working.Half of the workers say their boss doesnt accept it,and only 35 percent say its tolerated.Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced(加深)by the same survey,which shows that 43 percent of workers say theyve watched TV or a mov

19、ie while“working”remotely,while 35 percent have done housework,and 28 percent have cooked dinner.It is true,however,that working at home makes people much more efficient(高效的),because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done.Its much faster,for example,
