問題詳情

五、閱讀測驗【請在下列各題中，選出最適當的答案】 <第一篇>    Japan's government has supported an initiative to relieve the pressure on Japanese workersand simultaneously boost consumer spending. The new measure is called "Premium Friday." Aspokesperson from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said the campaign wouldencourage workers to leave work earlier on the last Friday of each month to relax or go shopping.Around 130 companies across Japan have signed up to participate in the initiative, including manymajor employers. Skeptics are unsure whether the scheme will succeed or not because of thelegendary workaholic nature of Japanese workers. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga toldreporters: "It will take time for Premium Friday to take root."     The idea for Premium Friday was partly prompted by the suicide of an employee whowas continually required to work excessive overtime at the ad agency Dentsu. A court ruled thesuicide was "death by overwork" and stressed the need to address what is a common problem inJapan - overworking. Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is leading by example. He promoted thecampaign by leaving the office early for a meditation session at a Tokyo temple at 3:30 p.m. Mr.Suga said it was essential for both the government and the private sector to create an atmospherewhere workers feel comfortable in leaving early. However, many workers said they would justhave to work on Saturdays instead so as to finish their work.
