          In much of the world,a five-day work week is common.In some places,however,people are exploring the idea of paying workers the same amount for working just four days a week.
             Last June,61 companies in Britain agreed to try giving their workers a four-day work week.Many different kinds of businesses took part in the experiment.Some companies were small,while others had around 1,000 workers.The experiment ran for six months.It was the largest of its kind in the world.It turned out to be good for both businesses and individuals(個人).
             The number of days that workers were out sick dropped by 65 percent.About 57 percent fewer people left their jobs during the four-day work week trial.What's more,the companies made more money-an increase of about 1.4 percent on average.
             How did workers do more in less time?Some companies had fewer or shorter meetings.Some used technology to help employees get work done more quickly.Others set a "focus time" that workers would be able to finish tasks without wasting any time or energy on other things.
             In general,the four-day work week left employees feeling better.About 39 percent felt less stressed(焦慮不安的).On average,73 percent of the workers were more satisfied with the time they spent working.
             At the end of the experiment,92 percent of the companies planned to keep the new schedule(日程安排).The leader of one company said that the shorter work week allowed people to feel ready to"go for it".
