Now most of the workers work from 9 am to 5 pm. However, according to the global Internet survey done by
the UK Sleep Council, thesiesta（午睡）was the right idea all along. The UK Sleep Council called on the
country'sbosses to end nine-to-five working in favor of more flexible hours. They believe what would really
increase the workers' productivity is a nice afternoon nap, rather than those bonuses.
Forty-one percent of the 12,000 people who responded to the council's survey said they were most
productive in the morning, while 38 percent said theyhit their stridein the evening. "This means most of them
cannot fully pay attention to what they do in the middle of the day," said sleep expert Dr. Chris Idzikowskii. "We
must conclude from this survey that the traditional nine-to-five working day does not suit most workers." He
suggested that allowing workers to follow their natural sleeping habits would actually benefit employers by
allowing them to expand their working hours and be more productive.
Fortunately, being a college lecturer, I don't have to go to work everyday. I only work three days a week, but
during the three days I work really long hours and have no time for a little siesta. I'm usually so tired and sleepy in
the afternoon, which really affects thevitality（活力）of my classes.
I think Dr. Chris Idzikowskii's idea is worthwhile. When people have flexible working hours they could reach
their highest productivity. On top of that, flexible working hours mean thatpeople don't have to work all at the
same time. That way we could avoid traffic jams. Therefore, it's really killing two birds with one stone!

A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal attack—when a touch of humor might well enable us
to win．Consider the case of a young friend of mine，who hita traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving
an ultimatum about beinglate on the job．Although there was a good reason for Sam’s a being late—serious illness
at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer．His supervisor was probably
already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech．
Yes，the boss was．Sam entered the office at 9：35．The place was as quiet as a locker room；everyone was
hard at work．Sam’s supervisor came up to him．Suddenly，Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand．“How
