W:Yes, yes.I didn’t realise that, actually.

M:Are you still interested?

M:That sounds right.Perhaps you could come for an interview sometime?

Mark is a leader in an American company.He can work while sitting in a comfortable chair if he wants.However, he prefers to stand most of the day while he is working.

“It feels more natural to stand.I feel more energetic,”he said.

In recent years, more and more American people have chosen to stand while they are working.There are many reasons.For example, standing makes people pay more attention to their work;standing stops them from feeling sleepy; standing while working makes them feel as if they are leaders.

According to many reports, sitting for many hours a day is very bad for health.According to one report, people who sit more than six hours a day are at least 18% more likely to die earlier than those who sit less than three hours a day.The study was done on 123,000 adults and it studied them for over 14 years.

Standing while working seems to provide people with a new, good way to live healthily.At the same time, some professors suggest that people also move around, rather than just stand while they are working.
