Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all could work at any time of day? Now several
businesses are experimenting with a more flexible work schedule for their employees. It
seems to be successful.
Both late sleepers and early risers find the fixed hours of a nine-to-five workday a
problem. Now there is an answer that seems to please them both. Employees of over 500
businesses, organizations and government agencies in the United States are adapting their
work hours to suit their individual needs. It's called "flexible time" (flextime) and it means,
for example, that employees can start working at any time during the first three hours their
office is open and leave after completing their required daily working time, which is
normally eight hours. Early risers can begin work at seven a.m., finish at three and still have
daylight time for shopping, picking up children at school, or recreation. Late sleepers need
not report for work until 10 a.m. but they must stay on their job until six in the evening.
Says a Boston, Massachusetts, band official: "Our employees like the system, and
tardiness has been virtually eliminated. Fewer people are absent, turnover has dropped
markedly, and productivity and morale have risen. I wouldn't be surprised if most businesses
adopt flexible work hours in the near future."

A. The time passes by more quickly. B. There is more time for lunch.
C. Hardly anyone is ever late for work. D. There is enough time for both work and
play.

schedule?
A. 2:30 p.m. B. 1:00 p.m. C. 3:00 p.m. D. 3:30 p.m.
Question 16. Workers who either enjoy sleeping late or rising early react in what way to a
