Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 11 to 18.
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."
Question 11. What is one of the benefits of the flexible work schedule?
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?

Trang 2/5 - Mã đề: 209
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
