3 . Carlos Slim’s proposal that we work a three - day week sounds crazy. But many, in 1922, thought Henry Ford crazy when he announced that his staff would work a five - day week.

Our working week seems normal to us because it is what we all always do. He certainly could be for those he was most concerned about when he made his three - day - week statement at a business conference in Paraguay: the workers who are not ready to retire. As Mr. Slim said, it no longer makes sense for people to stop working in their fifties or sixties when they may still have up to a third of their lives ahead of them. “People are going to have to work for more years, until they are 70 or 75, and just work three days a week - perhaps 11 hours a day.” he said.

Keeping older employees at work makes sense for societies, especially those with a diminishing number of young people who are expected to support long - living retirees.

He appeared to be suggesting that these short - week workers earn the same as they did full - time. That is what happens at Telmex, his Mexican fixed - line phone company, where those qualified for retirement can choose to work four - day weeks on full pay.

Older workers elsewhere might prefer shorter weeks on reduced pay - and eight or nine - hour days rather than 11. Their companies might value keeping their experience while saving money on their salaries. What about everyone else? There are those who are unemployed, or in unstable jobs, who would be delighted to have three secure, well - paid days of work a week.

Shorter weeks don’t work in every job, but they work in more jobs than most tradition - bound managers think. Agreeing to them requires two shifts in management thinking. The first is the realization that much of the time spent in offices is wasted anyway. Second, senior executives need ro understand that the best way to measure people is by the work they produce - not by how much time they spend at their desks.

People living longer, in better health, are changing working life too. Mr. Slim’s idea is in tune with the times.

5 . Are you ready to lend a hand to others in your life? It’s a reality that many of us find ourselves too busy to ______ much time, money and energy to do a good deed. It’s the ______ with me.

Most of my days I am as ______ as a bee. My daughter is only 10 and my husband work full time. When I’m not writing at my desk, I’m cooking, cleaning, paying ______ as well as taking my daughter to and from school. Like millions of housewives, I’m short on time and ______ with spending.

But all ______ as I got an idea from my daughter to set my good-deed-a-day goal. We had ______a girl in Egypt and gave away our used clothing to her from time to time. My daughter was crazy about charity and wanted me to do ______, so I started my Simple Deed project. When I stepped out, I looked for possible acts of ______. One day, I ______ some rubbish on the playground. Another day, I ______ an old blind man at the subway station across the waiting line. Sometimes, I ______ had to go out of my way to find something kind to do. I could only hope I was one of the ______ examples to others.

After a few days, though, I felt almost proud of my simple deeds. I was fitting them into our busy life in a way that ______ me. And even though most of what I’d done was small potatoes, somehow I knew I was making a difference, which also ______ every single day of mine.

8 . When you ask your kid what he dislikes the most in his study, he will answer, “homework.”     1     Fortunately, you will help your kid deal with homework faster and more effectively using the following tips.

Setting the right workspace

Setting the perfect working environment is of importance.     2     That’s why you should make sure to separate places for playing and studying to help your kid concentrate. Pick a quiet place where your child can learn peacefully. Besides, make sure that there are no things that can disturb him.

Creating work schedule

Unlike adults, kids are very active. And although adults can remain focused for around half an hour, children’s attention span(时长) is much shorter than that.     3     With that being said, however long your kid’s working time is, remember to include several breaks. This will help lengthen the child’s attention span.

Cooperating with peers

Teaming up with classmates in school has plenty of advantages. It helps your kid not only develop social communication but also improve logical thinking ability. Besides, the ability to work with classmates hugely influences your kid’s friendship with others.     4    

Homework can be a real pain in the neck. Without the right strategy, you will spend too much time finishing home tasks.     5    

9 . Travelling with some of your favourite people is an exciting experience. If done well, group travelling can be the most thrilling experience ever, filled with games, laughter, and unforgettable memories.     1     Read on for some of the things you need to note and do for an enjoyable experience.

    2    

Ideas are usually exciting when they are fresh. The longer you delay, the more you’ll find excuses not to go. Let all interested parties meet as soon as possible to decide on dates, locations and budget. It’s best to plan the trip three or four months in advance.

Assign roles

For the trip to be successful, it has to be well organized. You’re going on a trip far from home, not the shopping mall. This is why the group should assign a leader who would be responsible for planning and organizing the trip.     3     Break them down further. For example, choose someone to handle booking a hotel and another person to take care of the meal.

Budget pool

    4     You can do a weekly or monthly payment plan before your trip. Once you decide how much would fund the trip, members can start contributing the money weekly or monthly. The leader would then use the money to pay for accommodations, meals, transportation and more while you’re on vacation. If there’s money left in the end, split it up or go wild one last night.

Create a flexible itinerary（行程）

An easy way to create and share an itinerary is through Google Docs. Add the group members to the document and give them permission to edit it. Suggest one or two optional activities per day which do not require advance bookings, such as a local hike or museum.     5
