35、篇60词左右的内容概要。A recent UN report shows that many of us are working longer and harder than ever. In the past, employees worked eight or nine hours a day. Today, however, many companies expect their employees to work longer. In addition, the boundary between work and personal life has become less clear.
36、 If we are not working in the office, we might be working at home. We are required to be on call whenever our company needs us. In short, we are all working and having less time with family and friends.This over-emphasis (过分强调) on work can lead to serious problems in our personal lives. The more tim
37、e we spend at work, the less time there is available for maintaining relationships with our friends and family. Many of us spend so much time on the job that we hardly ever get to see our partners or children. When we do get home, we are often tired and lack the energy to spend time doing what we re
38、ally enjoy.There are, however, a number of ways in which we can regain control of our lives and correct the work-life balance. First of all, workers, especially those employed in offices, have to realize that work is rarely finished. In other words, taking work home does not usually decrease the amo
39、unt of work. As one task finishes, another one appears. This means that, unless there is a strict deadline, work should stay at work.Another way to regain a work-life balance is to plan your free time. Most of us spend a lot of time planning our working week. Few of us put the same effort into organ
40、izing our leisure time. However, if we dont have a plan, there is a danger that we will miss out on the things that we really enjoy doing. So, if you like going to the cinema, make sure that you go regularly. Write it in your diary. If you enjoy having friends visit, plan a time and write that in yo

Actually too much devotion to work has a negative impact on their family and social bonds. To solve
43、 this problem, employers should strike a balance between work and life by figuring out a clear boundary and scheduling their leisure time with some effort. (59 words)Possible version 2:A recent study has found that we employees are now working longer and harder than in the past. As a result, we have less time for our personal lives, like staying with our family and enjoying our pastimes/hobbies. However, we can strike a work-life balance by, for example, leaving unfinished work in the office, or planning our free/leisure time properly. (60 words)- 9 - 版权所有高考资源网
