　　Two months after beginning the new work hours, good results have been reported in Wenzhou. New work starts at 9 in the morning, an hour later than before. But people still go back at 6 in the afternoon.

　　“With one more hour's sleep every day, I feel much better,” said a worker there.

　　Now people still work as long as before, but not from 8:00 to 6:00. They go to work an hour later, but have a shorter lunch break. In the past they had two hours for lunch, but now they have only one hour.

　　Many people welcome the new work hours.“Why do we have to waste a lot of time in the middle of the day and rush in the early morning?”

　　Two months ago, many people got up at 6 : 30 a.m. every workday and left home at 7 : 30 a.m. It usually took them about an hour to get to the office from home. Morning time was always like a battle. People went to work in a hurry, feeling very tired.

　　Sleep is needed for good health. Doctors say that eight hours' sleep is good for people, but few people can sleep that long.

　　The use of the new work hours is just beginning. Although we Chinese have long kept“early hours”, it is important to follow hours in the world. Most foreign countries have“nine-to-five” work hours. If we don't change, there will be problems. When Chinese start working at 8 a.m., foreigners haven't begun business yet.

　　But when they are busy working at noon, Chinese are still on break. So some people think that it is the right time to change.

A.9a.m. to5p.m.

B.8a.m. to5p.m.

C.9a.m. to6p.m.

(2) How long do people in Wenzhou work every workday now?

B. For a week.

C. For two weeks.
