BWork less，do more.It's an appealing idea that's becoming reality for a growing number of people in Sweden，where some companies are shortening their workdays from eight hours to six or even fewer.But is it possible to accomplish the same amount of work in less time?The answer depends on the person and the type of work，experts say.But plenty of evidence suggests that cutting back on hours can have many benefits，not just because people are usually happier when they work less.If done right，shortening the workday can also improve productivity(生产效率)．The average American works about 47 hours a week，and many people work much more than that，even though many recent studies have linked working long hours with numerous health problems.People who work too much are more likely to gain weight，fall short on sleep，suffer workplace injuries and develop stress­related illnesses.And as tiredness sets in at the end of a long day，risks go up for headaches and muscle pain，while mistakes become more common.Dealing with those issues can end up costing companies a significant amount of money.One recent study found that stress in the workplace contributes to 120，000 deaths each year and as much as 8% of healthcare costs in the US.Productivity can also suffer as the day goes on，and it takes even more effort to maintain the same pace.A number of studies have found that intense(紧张的) periods of mental effort can impair people's ability to solve puzzles，make decisions and control emotions.“People are not like the battery that will work at peak efficiency (效率) until the battery runs out，” says John Trougakos，a psychologist at the University of Toronto.“Plenty of evidence shows that's not true.”5．Why does the author provide the example of some Sweden companies in the first paragraph?A．To introduce the topic of the passage.B．To provide support for his own ideas.C．To predict the change of views on workdays.D．To provide a successful case of shorter workdays.6．What does the underlined word “impair” in the fifth paragraph mean?A．Measure. B．Improve.C．Repair. D．Affect.7．What John Trougakos says in the last paragraph implies that ．A．tiredness is a common feelingB．we need to refresh ourselves regularlyC．long workdays will do bad to efficiencyD．productivity reaches its peak at the end of the day8．Which might be the best title for the passage?A．Are You Shortening Your Workdays?B．Can a 6­Hour Workday Work?C．Work at Your Peak EfficiencyD．Assess Your Pace of Work【语篇解读】瑞典的一些公司正通过缩短工作时间的方式来提高工作效率。
