Question

5．Want to attract and keep top talent？Here's a suggestion：Make a flexible work schedule part of the deal．
A survey this summer of 1，215 U．S．managers and employees across a variety of industries，by EY （formerly Ernst & Young），found those aged 18to 32rank flexibility among the perks （特殊待遇） they want most，with 33% saying they wouldn't work anywhere that didn't offer it．But it seems those aged 33to 48value flextime even more：38% of them consider it non-negotiable，with men who said so，at 40%，slightly outnumbering women （37%）．
"Companies first started offering flexible schedules，in the late 80s and the 90s，as a way to recruit （招募） and keep talented women，but it's gone way beyond that now，"observes Karyn Twaronite，an EY partner who came up through the tax side of the business．
Noting that both men and women，in all age groups，ranked flextime （彈性工作制） tops among non-cash perks，Twaronite adds，"That result mirrors exactly what we're seeing here at EY．"The accounting and consulting giant，No.57on Fortune's Best Companies to Work For，has had thousands of employees working flexible schedules for years-including，since 2004，six weeks'of paid leave for new dads．
"Flextime may have started out as a women's issue，but it's changed into something that people of both sexes have come to expect，"he adds．"I think it's partly because of the large number of two-career households now，where people have to adapt to two demanding professional schedules instead of just one．"
The EY survey suggests that，in the next decade or so，the opportunity for a life outside the office will become an even bigger draw than it already is．Most of those surveyed still work a set schedule，the report notes，but"respondents expect a shift in the coming years to more flexible hours，as 62% currently work standard office hours and only 50% expect to do so in five to ten years．"
That doesn't surprise Twaronite．"Work is changing，"she observes．"The technology to connect anywhere and anytime means that people are expected to be on call 24hours a day，especially in global companies that operate across different time zones．The other side of that is that employers are adapting to people's lives outside of work-because they have to be．"

Answer 1

分析 本文通過一項研究表明人們更重視靈活的工作時間．

解答 78．細節(jié)理解題．Both men and women ranked flextime tops among non-cash perks．/People rank flexibility among the perks they want most．/People value flextime more．根據第二段中found those aged 18 to 32 rank flexibility among the perks （特殊待遇） they want most一句可知研究表明人們更重視靈活的工作時間．
79．細節(jié)理解題．（recruiting and keeping） talented women根據第三段"Companies first started offering flexible schedules，in the late 80s and the 90s，as a way to recruit （招募） and keep talented women一句可知靈活工作時間是針對有才女性的．
80．推理判斷題．there are a large number of two-career households now/both sexes in a family have to work professionally now．根據第五段I think it's partly because of the large number of two-career households now一句可知答案為there are a large number of two-career households now/both sexes in a family have to work professionally now．
81．總結概括題．The technology to connect anywhere and anytime．根據最后一段"The technology to connect anywhere and anytime means that people are expected to be on call 24 hours a day，especially in global companies that operate across different time zones．可知是科技把任何地方和任何時間聯(lián)系起來．
