In 2016, Agent, a British cmpany, tested five-hur wrking days fr a mnth. The hpe was that the peple in the cmpany wuld feel happier with reduced wrking hurs. Hwever, the results f the experiment were mixed.
“Lts f gd things happened,” says Agent CEO Paul Crcran. “We lked at tasks in terms f time: D this in 15 minutes and that in half an hur. We wasted n time. Peple were missing the wrst f the traffic because they were cming in at 10 a. m. instead f 8:30 a. m.”
Prblems, hwever, quickly came up. “Peple used t have eight hurs t finish their jbs. Nw, they nly had five hurs,” Crcran explains. “The idea was t give peple mre freedm, but they ended up feeling mre stressed.”
In mst cmpanies arund the wrld, an emplyee wrks fr eight hurs every wrkday. But many researchers have lked at the links between wrking hurs and prductivity (生产效率). They fund that mst peple culd nly be prductive fr five hurs each day.
Sme cmpanies have been experimenting with shrter wrking days. In these cmpanies, peple wrk frm 8 a. m. t 1 p. m. with n breaks. In rder t have the afternns t themselves, they becme much mre fcused than befre. Their prductivity increases by 50 percent.
But just like Crcran, many managers have seen prblems with reduced wrking hurs. In additin t the added pressure t cmplete tasks n time, peple are lsing smething n the relatinship level. Since they n lnger have time fr small talk, it has been harmful fr team culture.
It’s hard t say hw lng the perfect wrking day shuld be. Reduced wrking hurs sund great, but having t d mre wrk in less time is tiring. Which wuld yu prefer, five-hur wrking days r traditinal eight-hur nes?
13. When Agent decided t test five-hur wrking days, it expected ________ results.

14. What prblem did peple in Agent face when the cmpany tested five-hur wrking days?

B. They suffered frm the wrst traffic.
C. They had t spend mre time cmmunicating with each ther.
D They were under mre pressure t cmplete their jbs n time.

A a persn wh receives a reward frm a cmpanyB. a persn wh des a research fr a cmpany
