In the world, a five-day work week is common. However, in some places, people are exploring the idea of paying workers the same for working just four days a week. Some companies have been slow to try it. The results of last year's experiment suggested the move may be good for both companies and workers.
Last June,61 UK companies agreed to try giving their workers a four-day work week. They asked their workers to do as much as they usually did in five. The experiment turned out to be good for most companies.The number of days that workers were out sick dropped by 65%. About 57% fewer people left their jobs during the experiment. What's more, the companies made more money-about 1.4%.
How did workers do more in less time Some companies cut meetings, or made sure they were shorter.Others used technology to help workers get more done quickly. Some companies created“a focus time”so workers could work on just one thing without being interrupted(打扰).
In general, workers said the four-day work week left them feeling less tired. About 71% said they felt less“burnt out”with their new work hours. About 73% of the workers were more satisfied with the time they spent working. Workers reported that the extra day off allowed them to do more of what they loved.
Professor Brendan Burchell, who helped run the study, said,“A four-day week means a better life for so many people.”At the end of the experiment, 92% of the companies involved(参与) said they planned to keep the four-day work week.

阅读短文,根据题目要求完成下列任务。 (每小题2分,共10分)
Chemistry is usually thought to be more difficult than other subjects, at least for the beginners. There are some reasons for this idea. For one thing, chemistry has a very specialized vocabulary(学科专用语汇). So studying chemistry is like learning a new language at first. Also, some concepts(概念) of chemistry are hard to understand. But with hard work and careful study, you can finish this subject successfully. (A) Here are some suggestions to help you develop good study habits and better understand the topics in the book:
●Firstly, attend classes on time. Listen to your teacher and take careful notes in class. If possible, always review the topics you learn in class, and review your notes on the same day.
●Secondly, think carefully whether you really understand the meaning of a term or the use of an equation(方程式). A good way to test your understanding is to explain a concept to a classmate or someone else.
●Thirdly, pay attention to things which have something to do with chemistry in life. Watch or do experiments in class carefully.
●Fourthly, question often and do not be afraid to ask your teacher or classmates for help.
You will find that chemistry is much more than numbers, formulas(分子式) and equations. (B) Once you fall in love with it, you'll get lots of fun.
