Now, the results of a recent test at Microsoft suggested that it could even work for some larger companies. This summer, Microsoft introduced a program in Japan called the “Work Life Choice Challenge”. In the program, the offices were closed every Friday in August. And it gave all workers one more day off.The results were promising. Although people spent less time on work, their productivity (工作效率) went up by nearly 40% compared with the same period last year. With fewer working hours, managers also requested workers to cut down the time they spent on meetings and replying to emails.They suggested that meetings should be no more than 30 minutes. Workers were also encouraged to use online messages instead of attending meetings. More than 90% of workers at Microsoft in Japan said they loved the new measure (措施). By closing earlier each week, the company could also save more electricity.This measure is very timely. Japan has been dealing with the problem of overwork for a long time. The country has even created a new word to describe it: karoshi. It means people die from illnesses caused by too much work stress.Many people in Japan went through karoshi and several even died of it. It has led to companies offering more flexible (灵活的) working time to their workers.

Here I would like to share some inventions made by Chinese people.I was shocked when I knew that alcohol (酒精) was invented in China. When people talk about it, I always think about either the US or the UK. China has never appeared in my mind. In China, alcohol was made by two famous persons named Yi Di and Du Kang who belonged to the Xia Dynasty (朝代). This period was about 2000 BC — 1600 BC. Research says that in ancient China, beer (啤酒) with 4% alcohol was widely liked by people.China is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC. Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.Have you ever wondered what our life would be like without the time? A clock is really an invention without which things would probably not be finished on time. The first mechanical clock (机械钟)was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 and 907.Silk, the favorite fabric (面料) for many girls, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms (蚕), it was Chinese people who first thought out a way toget the silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.( )16. Who invented Alcohol?A.Shen Nong.B. Yi Xing.C. Da YuD. Yi Di & Du Kang( )17.
