题文

A major new development in system of work in Britain is taking place. Flexible working hours, or “Flextime”, are catching on fast, and trend is continuing. In 1973, over 500 organizations had adopted the idea, and by 1974, this number had rin to over 200,000. Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 1960’s, but reached Britain only in 1972. The system allows workers to start and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. The are, firstly, that all workers must prent for certain “key” times in the day, and condly, that all workers must work an agreed total number of hours per week. The system had proved a total success wherever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages: a better balance between working and private life, avoidance of the need to travel during rush hours and the ability to finish a certain task before leaving. From the employer’s point of view, the system tends to increa productivity, reduce labour turnover and give workers a greater n of duty. At first, “Flexible” was mainly confined to white-collar workers, but it is now being applied to manual workers too.小题1:According to “Flextime” system, workers need not _________.A．work at the same timeB．work all the weekdaysC．work hardD．ask for leave when being abnt小题2:“Key” time is a period when _________.A．visitors come to the plantsB．all workers must be at workC．employers go round in the workshopD．rush hours are over小题3:No matter where it is ud, this system has proved _________.A．entirely effectiveB．totally correctC．a complete failureD．quite difficult小题4:One of the great advantages of “Flextime” for workers is that they _________.A．have a great n of dutyB．can avoid busy trafficC．can get higher payD．can avoid working hard 题型：未知难度：其他题型
