13、a fine idea, but most of us know that simply saying “Hello” wont bring about world peace.

You raise your head
14、 to someone as you pass by them in the school corridor (走廊), say “Hello”, then its over.Although we might not realize it, a small thing like a greeting can mean a lot to a person. Many people are lonely because theyre shy. They find it difficult to communicate with people, even though they want to.
15、It leads to them feeling cut off.On this basis, maybe its a good idea, not just on Nov.21, but every day, to remember to say “Hello” to as many people as we can. The stranger who hears your greeting may secretly smile in their heart. You might even make their day.Greeting other people is the easiest

23、ays to five, with no pay cuts. Its something workers and labor unions had been calling for. Ford wasnt responding to workers demands; he was being a businessman. He expected increased productivity and knew workers with more time and money would buy and use the products they were making.It was a way
24、of encouraging consumerism and productivity to increase profits, and it succeeded.Since standardization of the 40-hour workweek in the mid-20th century, everything has changed but the hours. If anything, many people are working even longer hours, especially in North America. This has a severe influe
25、nce on human health and well-being, as well as the environment. Until the Second World War, it was common for one person in a family, usually the oldest male, to work full-time. Now, women make up 42 percent of the worlds full-time workforce. Technology has made a lot of work unnecessary, with compu
26、ters and robots doing many tasks previously performed by humans.Well into the 21st century, we continue to work the same long hours as 20th century laborers, using up even more of Earths supply to produce more goods that we must keep working to buy, use and replace in a seemingly endless cycle of ha

Its time to pause and consider better ways to live like shifting from fossil-fueled lifestyles with which our consumer-based workweeks are connected.The UK think tank, New Economics Foundation, argues that a standard 21-hour workweek would address a number of interconnected(
28、互相联系的) problems: “overwork, unemployment, over-consumption, high carbon emissions, low well-being, and the lack of time to live sustainably, to care for each other, and simply to enjoy life”Economic systems that require constant growth on a finite (有限的) planet dont make sense.
