Imagine that one day you live in a highly immersive（身临其境）virtual world.You can go to a virtual concert,take a trip online,view or create artworks and try on or buy digital clothing. Amid a pandemic like COVID-19,instead of seeing teachers and classmates on a video call screen,you could join them i
n a virtual classroom.This may help you understand the concept, metaverse.
The term metaverse refers to a shared virtual3D world in which people can access via the Internet.Currently,most virtual spaces look more like the inside of a video game than real life. However,metaverse is the digital spaces made more realistic by the use of virtual reality（VR）or augmented reality（AR，增强现实）.
Metaverse was first used in Neal Stephenson’s novel Snow Crash in1992.The novel is about Hiro,a pizza delivery man by day and a VR superhero by night who lives in an online universe called The Metaverse.“He is in a computer-generated universe that his computer is drawing onto his glasses and pulling into his earphones,”the novel says of the city that everyone pops into in VR.The idea rings in many other works,for example,in Ready Player One directed by Steven Spielberg.

diary and then through stories.Through the years,he wrote10novels and stories that explore the suffering caused by war and colonialism.“The thing that motivated the whole experience of writing for me was this idea of losing your place in the world,”Gurnah told The New York Times.

People have probably observed that their stress levels can rise due to a lack of typical psychological breaks they get in workplaces.Walking to the tea room to make a cup of coffee, stopping for a chat with one of your colleagues or discussing your plan with your leaders will help you.All of those actions are actually giving our brains an opportunity to recharge. The workplace banter（打趣）could be worn out when you’re employed from home.The psychological breaks,however,are vital to maintain your stress at the lowest level,so attempt to copy these mini-breaks at home.Besides,you need a proper schedule for yourself.Otherwise, things go against your wishes.For example,one of my friends devoted herself to her business, ignoring her family and her own health.Though she has achieved a lot in her business,now she is in poor health and has a broken home and good-for-nothing children.
One of the toughest issues about working from home is setting boundaries.People tend to overwork at home because they often confuse work and home life.You can moderately end working at a fixed time and have time to get along with your family members.If you begin the day by bearing this in your thoughts,it’s completely possible for you to stick to it.At home,you can do a bit of gardening or take a sl
ow relaxing walk within your yard to help increase your memory and overcome depression.Even doing some arts and crafts,reading an e-book or baking a cake may also help.Anyway,you need to take yourself away from the computer screen for a superb couple of hours every day.
As the saying puts it,“Sharpening your knife won’t waste your time for cutting your firewood”.If you have good psychological breaks while working from home,your working efficiency will be improved.Besides,you’ll manage and lessen your stress and create a good family relationship.
12.What cannot reduce people’s stress according to paragraph1?
A.Making a cup of coffee or tea.
