Living next to the Spellmans, our new neighbors, almost drove my mother crazy. If shewasn shaming them for not attending church, or
complaining to her sister Jackie about theway the
Spellman girls dressed, then she was shoeing theSpellman complaints with the police, My mother had never been so busy.All she ever
spokeof any more were the Spellmans and their wrongdoings.
One Sunday afternoon after church service, my mother was driving old Ms Parker hometo her
house on the hill when we got a flat tire. As far as changing the tire, let ' s just say thatwe \
the mercy of the good Lord. Since old Ms. Parker lived so far up that hill, not a lotof traffic
drove by us. It had been about fifteen minutes since the last car passed when weheard the
rattling and puttering of an old pickup truck as it pulled over to assist us.
The Spellman boys ran up on our car like a NASCAR pit crew. Before my mother couldeven
protest, they had taken the tire off. "Her spare is flat, " said the middle one to the big one. " Give

don, t know what to say, "she stammered. The big one said, "Well, the Lord saidlove your
neighbor, and we are neighbors, right?
The next day when the Spellman ' s dogs went through my mother's flower garden, sheput out a
bowl of water for them. When she saw the Spellman girls walking out with nothingbut a halter

heard the Spellman's music through our walls, she tried to dance a little bit. Sheeven invited the 题号 一 一 三 四 五 六 总分

Ms. O'grady, the head of Britains Trades Union Congress, issued a challenge onSeptember 10th.
"We can win a four-day working week, "she told members. The demand isfar from new. Shorter working weeks have been
tried in New Zealand and Sweden, wherein happier, healthier and more motivated employees. Those who work shorterweeks
are also reported to be more productive. Should weekends, therefore, be lengthened?
France ' s experience suggests workers may notap at the chance of working for fewerhours.
The government reduced the full-time workers week to 35 hours in 2000. Last yearthe French worked 38.9 hours a week on
average, seeming happy to labor above the requiredlevel and pocket the extra pay or holiday allowance.
And businesses may not seize the opportunity either. Working less may be linked tohigher productivity (on a per-hour
basis), but overall output could still fall because of thesmaller number of hours worked. That will not get governments
or employers excited.
Advocates of a four-day week could claim that improving people ' quality of life is moreimportant than boosting the
economy. In an essay published during The Great Depression,John Maynard Keynes wrote of an"age of leisure and
abundance"in which technologicaladvances would allow people to work 15-hour week.
Unfortunately for any readers working hard on a Friday aftemoon, Keynes jumped at his conclusion too soon. Even Ms.
O'grady, now demanding a longer weekend, is pessimistic inher ※※题※※答※※内※※线※※订※※装※※在※※要※※不※※请派※
