Are flexible working arrangements for women withchildren causing resentment among those whodon't have children? Researchers in Britain havefound that many of those surveys thought womenwho worked flexible hours were less committedthan their colleagues.
(19) Working part-time, leaving early to pick up the kids: flexible working is seen as somethingthat can help parents, but it could be having a negative impact. 25,000 women were surveyed.About half of those questioned said that women who worked flexible hours were resented andviewed as less committed by their colleagues. Here is what some people surveyed in Londonthought.
"There is some resentment definitely. (20) I think it's more a case of like with younger peoplein their 20s. They do kind of look at some of my older colleagues and sort of saying 'well, it'snot really that fair.' But I think they might change their tune when they are perhaps in their 30sand when they are thinking about kids." "My colleague, when I was leaving some part-time,mouthed 'I hate you'. And I think that was because I do manage to strike a balance." "I passedfrom 95 jobs, full-time to freelance." "And so it's not just women with children that want thatflexibility?" Jody Day, who founded the organization Gateway Women for women withoutchildren, said they had legitimate reasons to be resentful. "It's a difficult issue to bring up inthe workplace because it's actually about fairness and equality, and diversity. And if most ofthe women in the office do have children, there is a sense that's a kind of dominant sort ofgroup think. And it can be quite difficult to get your voice heard if you are the childless one inthat situation." "Managers are often confused about what rights and privileges people havebecause they are trying to do the right thing. They are worried about what the law says."
(21) The researchers found that the negative judgment attached to flexible working could bean obstacle to women's progression. They've called on businesses to do more to change that.
19. Why do some women employees work flexible hours?
20. According to the survey, who are more likely to resent women employees withchildren?
21. What did the researchers find about the issue of women working flexible hours?
有孩子的女性員工的彈性工作時(shí)間會(huì)令沒(méi)孩子的員工產(chǎn)生不滿情緒嗎?英國(guó)研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，很多調(diào)查顯示有彈性工作時(shí)間的女性不如她們的同事對(duì)工作更投入。
兼職、提早下班去接孩子：彈性工作制被認(rèn)為照顧到了為人父母的員工，但是它也有可能造成一種負(fù)面影響。2.5萬(wàn)位女性接受了調(diào)查。其中有將近一半的人認(rèn)為有彈性工作時(shí)間的女性會(huì)招致同事的不滿，并被認(rèn)為工作投入不夠。以下是倫敦接受調(diào)查者的想法。
“當(dāng)然會(huì)有不滿情緒。我想尤其是在20幾歲的年輕人當(dāng)中。他們看到年紀(jì)稍長(zhǎng)幾歲的有彈性工作時(shí)間的同事時(shí)可能會(huì)說(shuō)：‘這實(shí)際上不是很公平。’但是我認(rèn)為等他們到了30多歲想要孩子的時(shí)候，他們的觀點(diǎn)可能就會(huì)發(fā)生改變。”“每當(dāng)我兼職完離開(kāi)時(shí)，我的同事們會(huì)用口型告訴我‘我恨你’。我想這是因?yàn)槲夷軌蜻_(dá)成一個(gè)平衡。”“我經(jīng)歷過(guò)95份工作，有全職有兼職。”“所以我知道，并不是只有做了母親的員工想要有彈性工作時(shí)間。”喬迪·達(dá)伊是一家專(zhuān)門(mén)為無(wú)子女女性成立的公司，Gateway Women的創(chuàng)始人，她說(shuō)她們的不滿是有法律依據(jù)的。“這個(gè)問(wèn)題很難在工作場(chǎng)所被提出是因?yàn)樗玛P(guān)公平、平等和差異。”如果你辦公室里的女員工大部分都有孩子，那么這種想法就占據(jù)了主導(dǎo)地位。而如果你是無(wú)子女的員工，你的反對(duì)意見(jiàn)很難得到注意。“管理者通常會(huì)混淆權(quán)利與特權(quán)，他們都想著做正確的事情，擔(dān)心自己違法。”
研究者還發(fā)現(xiàn)，有關(guān)彈性工作制的負(fù)面評(píng)價(jià)可能會(huì)成為女職員職業(yè)發(fā)展的障礙。他們呼吁企業(yè)為改變這一情況做出更多努力。
問(wèn)題19 為什么一些女性員工采用彈性工作制?
問(wèn)題20 根據(jù)調(diào)查，誰(shuí)更有可能憎恨有孩子的女性員工。
問(wèn)題21 關(guān)于女性彈性工作制問(wèn)題調(diào)查人員有什么發(fā)現(xiàn)?
參考答案：
【小題19】B
【小題20】C
【小題21】D
習(xí)題解析：
【小題19】講座開(kāi)頭提到了對(duì)女性采用彈性工作時(shí)間的調(diào)查，而后又提到 working part-time, leaving early to pick up the kids: flexible working is seen assomething that can help parents，指出非全時(shí)工作，早退接孩子——人們認(rèn)為彈性工作制能夠幫助有孩子的父母。可知實(shí)行彈性工作制是因?yàn)檫@些女員工需要照顧孩子，故 B 項(xiàng)為正確答案。A、C 兩項(xiàng)在講座中未提及，可排除;講座中提到調(diào)查結(jié)果顯示工作時(shí)間靈活的女性不如她們的同事對(duì)工作更投入，但這并不是實(shí)行彈性工作時(shí)間的原因，D 項(xiàng)不符合題意，也應(yīng)排除。
【小題20】聽(tīng)力原文中引用了一位調(diào)查對(duì)象的話，提到 I think it's more a case of like with youngerpeople in their 20s，指出在這位調(diào)查對(duì)象看來(lái)，更多的是20多歲的年輕員工看到年齡較大的同事彈性工作時(shí)會(huì)感覺(jué)有些憎恨，因而 C 項(xiàng)正確，故選 C。
【小題21】聽(tīng)力原文最后提到，The researchers found that the negative judgment attached toflexible working could be an obstacle to women's progression. They've called on businesses todo more to change that，指出研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，有關(guān)彈性工作制的負(fù)面評(píng)價(jià)可能會(huì)成為女職員職業(yè)發(fā)展的障礙。即女性員工可能在職業(yè)發(fā)展上處于不利的地位，由此可知 D 項(xiàng)為正確答案。文中提及彈性工作制事關(guān)公平、平等，并非說(shuō)公平與平等沒(méi)有受到應(yīng)有的重視，A 項(xiàng)與講座表述不符;B、C 兩項(xiàng)則未被提及，故三項(xiàng)均可排除。
