In June, more than 3,300 people in Britain began an exciting experiment: Their employers had signed up to
pilot a four-day workweek in what is currently the world’s biggest trial of this shorter working schedule. Seventy-
three British companies have reduced their employees’ working hours by 20 percent for six months while still
giving them their full pay.
Similar pilot programs are also underway in Australia, Iceland, and Spain. One study found that more than 8
million US workers switched to a four-day schedule between 1973 and 2018.
So far, the evidence that’s rolling in points in a clear direction: A shorter week allows workers to better take
care of themselves without sacrificing productivity.
Halfway through the six-month trial, all but two of the 41 British companies that responded to a survey said
that productivity either stayed the same or improved, and six said that productivity significantly improved. Those
findings are consistent with others. In Iceland, where more than 1 percent of the workforce saw their hours reduced
to 36 per week or less, productivity stayed constant or improved.
The effects on employees’well-being are even more surprising. In Britain, workers putting in 32 hours a week
have been getting an average of 7.58 hours of sleep a night, nearly a full hour more than those working 40 hours.
Working fewer hours is proving to have other benefits for people’s bodies and minds. In Iceland, employees
reported less stress and burnout and better health and work/life balance. They spent more time exercising, taking
care of household chores, engaging in hobbies,and spending time with family and friends.
As one participant put it, reducing hours “shows increased respect for the individual. We are not just machines
that just work…We are persons with desires and private lives, families and hobbies.” In a Gallup survey of US
workers, people who worked four days a week had higher levels of well-being and lower rates of stress than those
who worked five or six.
4. What is the experiment about in Britain?
A. Improving working efficiency. B. Trying out a four-day workweek.
C. Reducing the daily working time. D. Promoting the employees’pay.
5. What tendency has the experiment shown by now?
A. All companies have improved their productivity greatly.
B. Employees have more time to learn from each other.
C
.
Only 1/7 companies can improve their productivity.
D. Reducing working hours doesn’t decrease productivity.
6. What can be inferred about the experiment of reducing weekly working hours?
A. It is a short-sighted decision. B. It benefits only employers.
C. It is popular among workers. D. It upsets employees.
7. What is probably the best title for the text?
A. A Four-Day Workweek Pays Off
B. Working Fewer Hours Daily Benefits People
C. Respect for the Individual Brings Profit
D. The Experiment of Shorter Work Time Is Exciting
C
Study shows that blue spaces are naturally calming.
Being in green spaces and connecting with nature is good for your physical and mental health. In Japan, forest
bathing has been used to decrease stress, anxiety, and even to treat mild depression.
Now, scientists have discovered that blue spaces—natural waterways—are also connected to better mental
health. A population-based study published in Scientific Reports looked at the effect of urban waterways on mental
health and found that proximity to water increased positive feelings of well-being.
“If you are in a body of water, your internal state just becomes calm,” Dr Natalie Azar, NBC News medical
contributor, told TODAY. “It’s something that I think we’ve all experienced, but we’ve never really been intentional
