　　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.

Play is the basic business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy（婴儿）, every child needs opportunity and right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. The main function of toys is to suggest, encourage and play. To succeed in this, they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back again and again. Therefore, it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child’s development.
In recent years, research on baby development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited（遗传的）abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby’s ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.
In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability: Bricks and jigsaws（七巧板）and construction toys; painting, scribbling（涂鸦）and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play—the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.
But at the third stage of play development—from five to seven or eight years old— the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school．It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.
Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child．But once reading has been mastered, then books become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changed to a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.
