But holidays are expensive

2、and，for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet. For working parents，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual l

3、eave allowance amounts to only five weeks，there is a need to spread this across the year.Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some，this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult. The schools that I visit in Nottingham are ful

During the long summer holidays，much of this is missed. While teachers are holidaying in the UK，many of their pupils s

7、am City Council(委員會)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break.We believe this will give real “down time” for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a re

However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care. 36．The passage is pro

18、sters in return for 'protection.' If the money was not paid promptly, the gangsters would quickly put a man out of business by destroying his shop. Obtaining 'protection money' is not a modern crime. As long ago as the fourteenth century, an Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood, made the remarkable discove

19、ry that people would rather pay large sums of money than have their life work destroyed by gangsters. Six hundred years ago, Sir Johan Hawkwood arrived in Italy with a band of soldiers and settled near Florence. He soon made a name for himself and came to be known to the Italians as Giovanni Acuto.

20、 Whenever the Italian city-states were at war with each other, Hawkwood used to hire his soldiers to princes who were willing to pay the high price he demanded. In times of peace, when business was bad, Hawkwood and his men would march into a city-state and, after burning down a few farms, would off

24、g their jobs at home if all those able to telecommute chose to do so，according to a study on Wednesday which said many still elect to work at the office.

25、rvey. But the study also found that about 14 percent of the workforce has the option to telecommute but chooses not to.As the study’s principal researcher，Professor P．K. Kannan，put it： That seems to suggest that even if employers were to say tomorrow that everybody had the option of telecommuting

26、and that it would save a lot of gas，that’s not going to happen. What’s going on？Some of it is obvious：people like to go to the office for social reasons，even if their work tasks don’t require it.And that’s not just to be around other people.Our social needs also include being seen，and making “right

27、” impressions on bosses and colleagues.Our own research at Work Design Collaborative is completely consistent with that interpretation. So how are we actually going to realize the energy-saving opportunities that we’re missing？It seems to me there are two very basic actions called for. First，organ

28、izations must make distributed work not only available but expected by more employees.Company policies and financial incentives can easily “push” workers into changing their patterns.Note that I am not advocating making everyone a full-time telecommuter.But just getting half of the workforce to work

29、 from home or in a nearby facility two days a week would save 20% of the gasoline now being consumed by moving people from homes to offices. Second，we also need some national public policy initiatives to encourage people to work from home.It’s time to realize just how critical telecommuting and dis
