A major new development in systems of work in Britain is taking place. Flexible working hours, or "Flextime", are catching on fast, and this trend is continuing. In 1973, over 500 organizations had adopted the idea, and by 1974, this number had risen to over 200,000. Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 1960's, but reached Britain only in 1972. The system allows workers to start and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are, firstly, that all workers must be present for certain "key" times in day, and secondly, that all workers must work an agreed total number of hours per week.
The system has proved an almost total success whenever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages: a beer balance between working and private life, avoidance of the need to travel during rush hours and ability to be able to finish a certain task before leaving.
From the employer's point of view, the system tends to increase productivity, reduce labour turnover and give the workers a greater sense of duty.
Flexible working hours were firstly used by the ______.
A．British
B．Americans
C．Germans
D．Japanese
European leaders trying to give Saddam Hussein______.
A．a last resort
B．a warning
C．a deadline
D．a setback
Midterm Examination: Writing an Expository or Argumentative Essay This midterm exam asks you to write an expository or argumentative essay in a standard essay length of about 600 words on an issue or a topic of your own choice. You will have THREE weeks to finish and submit the paper. However, you are required to apply one or more writing strategies we have discussed and will soon discuss in class. Peer Review Grading Rubrics for the Argumentative Essay Essay Structure (短文结构, 20 points); Central Claim/Thesis Statement (中心论点, 20 points); Paragraph Development/Coherence (段落扩展与连贯, 20 points); Description, Exposition, and/or Reasoning (描述、说明和/或论证, 20 points); Grammatical Accuracy & Variety (语法准确性与多样性, 10 points); Range of Vocabulary (词汇丰富程度, 10 points). Note: No more than 15 % of your essay is allowed to quoted from others; scholastic dishonesty is definitely not acceptable. The essay would deserve a "0" if proved of plagiarism (剽窃), e.g. 30% and more, or even 100% of the essay found to be “copy-and-pasted” from others.
