In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts say the ___36___ is to make jobs more varied(多样的).

But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. ___53___ just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A ___54___ argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we ___55___ making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.
