Passage 1
Both late sleepers and early risers find the fixed hours of a nine-to-five work day 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. 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, bank 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.”
Statements:
42.Workers who either enjoy sleeping late or rising early react angrily to a flexible work hour schedule.( )
43.Workers have to start working at a fixed time.( )
44.Workers benefit from the flexible work schedule, as late sleepers have plenty of sleep.( )
45.The earliest possible time for someone to get out of work on an eight-hour schedule is 3 p.m.( )
46.In this passage the author seems to suggest that flexible time work hours is a terrible idea. ( )
