26、Museums, live music and malls—Chinese cities offer everything that a young person might want. But there are many people who don’t have time to enjoy these things. They follow what is called the “996” work schedule—starting work at 9 a.m. and finishing at 9 p.m., six days a week.
The “996” work schedule recently became a heated topic of discussion online after a computer programmer set up a website called “996ICU”. According to the website, the “996” work schedule is unhealthy and could cause people to end up in an intensive care unit (ICU). This work schedule is common at Chinese tech companies like Baidu, Alibaba and Huawei. Most “996” workers do not receive overtime(加班)pay.
Many tech industry workers have complained about this schedule. “I worked ‘996’ for nine months,” Zhang said, who used to work as a programmer. “I couldn’t sleep because of the pressure. So, I gave up the job at last.” However, the bosses of some tech companies think the “996” work schedule is reasonable. Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, said it’s a “huge blessing(福气)” for young workers to work “996”.
“If you don’t do ‘996’ when you’re young, when will you?” Ma said. “If you don’t put in more time and energy than others, how will you achieve the success you want?” Many people have questioned Ma’s thinking. In an article in People’s Daily, the writer said, “Valuing hard work does not mean it’s right to force workers to work overtime.”
Cui Zhendong, a lawyer, told China Daily that it is against the law to use a compulsory (强制的) “996” work schedule. China’s Labor Law《劳动法》clearly states that workers should work no more than eight hours a day or no more than 44 hours a week.
【1】The “996” work schedule requires a person to work ________.
A.9 hours a day
B.18 hours a day
C.54 hours a week
D.72 hours a week
【2】Why do many workers complain about this schedule?
A.Because they have no time to go to the hospital.
B.Because their health has been influenced.
C.Because they don’t get enough pay.
D.Because they can’t work well.
【3】According to the report of People’s Daily, bosses ________.
A.worked “996” to achieve their success
B.should support the “996” work schedule
C.understand the value of hard work better than workers
D.shouldn’t force workers to work overtime
【4】What do we know from the passage?
A.“996ICU” was set up to help workers get overtime pay.
B.It is against the law to force workers to work “996”.
C.It’s necessary for young workers to work “996”.
D.Working “996” is an unusual problem in China.
27、In England, some food companies across the whole country have been told to carry out urgent (紧急的) tests on all beef products. Do you know why? That’s because some food companies used horsemeat to make beef products.
