外刊精选|为什么说“85分的努力”刚刚好?
近日,网红主播李佳琦因为一句“这么多年了工资涨没涨,有没有认真工作?”,惹怒了粉丝和无数网友,也引发大家对于“努力”的讨论。今天这篇《华尔街日报》的文章也许会带来一些启发:越努力就越成功,真的是这样吗?如果不是,什么样的努力才是最合适的?
Try Hard, but Not That Hard. 85% Is the Magic Number for Productivity.
By Rachel Feintzeig
Many of us were raised in the gospel of hard work and max effort, taught that what we put in was what we got out. Now, some coaches and corporate leaders have a new message. To be at your best, dial it back a bit.
The trick—be it in exercise, or anything—is to try for 85%. Aiming for perfection often makes us feel awful, burns us out and backfires. Instead, count the fact that you hit eight out of 10 of your targets this quarter as a win. We don't need to see our work, health or hobbies as binary objectives, perfected or a total failure.
"There's a lot of inconsequential stuff that goes into going 100%," says Steve Magness, an exercise physiologist who coaches executives and athletes on performance. When we care too much, even minutiae starts to seem "like an existential crisis," he adds.
Sometimes, the harder we try, the worse we get, injuring ourselves or choking under pressure, Magness says. Quit while you're ahead, and the sense that your whole self-worth isn't wrapped up in this one moment can actually make you more likely to nail it.

拓展练习阅读理解
A Norwegian company has created what it calls the world’s first zero-emission(排放), autonomous cargo ship(货船). Developed by chemical company Yara International, the ship was designed to reduce emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases, and move goods away from roads to the sea.
The shipping industry accounts for between 2.5% and 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the International Maritime Organization. Nearly all of Norway’s electricity is generated by hydroelectric power, which is generally considered to have much lower carbon emissions than burning fossil fuels, despite the fact that it still produces greenhouse gases.
Capable of carrying 103 containers and with a top speed of 13 knots, it will use a 7 MWh battery, with about a thousand times the capacity of one electrical car. The ship will be charged near the port before sailing to container harbors along the coast and then back again, replacing 40,000 truck journeys a year.
As well as providing a greener option compared to conventional cargo ships, there is no crewman, which means it will be more cost-effective to operate. Initially, loading and unloading the ship will require humans, but gradually, all loading, discharging, and some other operations will also be eventually operated using autonomous technology. That will involve developing autonomous cranes(起重机) and carriers, which are the vehicles that place containers onto ships.
According to researchers, fully autonomous ships are the future. But there are many challenges to overcome before autonomous ships can be used for commercial long sea journeys. Navigating traffic in large ports could be a major barrier.
Without a crew aboard to carry out maintenance checks, autonomous ships would need built-in self-diagnosing systems with the ability to detect and fix problems, or call for human assistance.
Although Yara International has no plans to add more autonomous ships to its operations, we may see more elements of AI technology used on commercial ships in the future. Elements are already being used in shipping today when it comes to the voyage and we’ll see more partly autonomous elements added.
66.What’s the good news about the new ship
A.It’s conventionally designed. B.It has been fully marketed.
C.It’s environmentally friendly. D.It is luxuriously equipped.
67.What plays a critical role in the ship’s successful operation
A.The autonomous carriers. B.The latest navigating traffic.
C.The burning of fossil fuels. D.The massive battery capacity.
68.What can we learn from paragraphs 4-6
A.Researchers are pessimistic about its future.
B.The new ship isn’t completely autonomous yet.
C.A lot more such ships will be in operation soon.
D.No human labor is needed to maintain the ship.
69.What is the author’s attitude to technology being applied to shipping
A.Favorable. B.Reserved. C.Suspicious. D.Disapproving.

【全文翻译】
要努力,但不要太努力。85%是保持生产效率的魔法数字。
我们中的许多人都是在“要努力工作、全力以赴”这样的教诲中长大的,所接受的教育就是“一分耕耘一分收获”。然而,现在一些运动教练和企业领导者都在传递一个新的信息,那就是:为了做到最好,需要把努力“稍微收一点”。
无论是体育锻炼,还是其他任何事情,成功的诀窍就是努力做到85%就好。追求完美往往会让我们感觉非常糟糕、精疲力尽,甚至会适得其反。换种思路,如果本季度完成了10个目标中的8个,就应该视作成功。我们没必要以二元论的视角来看待工作、健康或爱好方面的目标:要么完美收官,要么彻底失败。
史蒂夫·马格内斯(Steve Magness)是一名指导企业高管和运动员提升表现的运动生理学家。他说:“要达到100%的完美结果,涉及到很多非人力可控的次要因素。” 他补充说,当我们过度在意时,甚至微不足道的细节都开始变得“像是一件关乎生死存亡的大事儿”。
马格内斯说,有时候,我们越努力,结果却越糟,要么会伤到自己,要么会因为压力而倍感窒息。懂得在成功时收手,了解你的自我价值并不完全取决于定成败的那一刻,可能才是真的有助于你搞定事情。
