(40 points)Text1A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys, people are actually more stressed at home than at work. Researchers measured peoples cortisol, which is a stres
19、s marker, while they were at word and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work that at home, writer one of the researchers, Sarah Damaske.
20、In fact women even say they feel better at work, she notes.It is men, not women, who report being happier at home that at work. Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children and without, but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have bett

For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home, they never get to leave the office. And for wom

Plus, theyre teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus, theyre your family. You cannot fire your family. You never really get to go home from home.S

According to Damaske, who are likely to be the happiest at home? _.A Childless wivesB working mothersC Childless husbandsD Working fathers23.
