根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Japan’s famously diligent workers spend more hours at the office than employees in almost any other country. Authorities have a message: Stay home. 1. . Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to attend Olympic and Paralympic events in Tokyo during the 2020 Games, putting additional pressure on the city’s already notoriously crowded commuter routes. Officials also hope that promoting working from home during the Games will encourage a more easy-going approach in a country known for its cases of karoshi, or death from overwork.
On July 22, one year before the Games, Tokyo rolled out a month-long “Telework Days” campaign, with government offices and private businesses committing to avoiding peak commuting hours. 2. . The government has been urging employers to be more flexible, hoping to help parents and others caring for elderly relatives to better balance their work and home responsibilities. Officials hope the campaign will show firms that employees can actually “work even more effectively” when they stay home.
3. . Such as concerns over the security of sensitive information, the difficulty of controlling working conditions and the fact that corporate culture stresses the importance of face-to-face communication.
Experts and government officials hope that Olympic efforts to expand telework might serve as something of a legacy for the Games. “Tokyo 2020 is a chance to actively introduce telework, which can create a stress-free lifestyle,” said Azuma Taguchi, a professor of engineering at Chuo University. 4. . And he also urged to take serious measures to tackle Olympic traffic.
5. . “This is a chance to make telework a legacy of the Games that will take root” in Japanese society, Industry Minister Hiroshige Seko said in a recent forum to promote flexible work. And some officials are hoping that a more open-minded approach to work could encourage people to take “workstations” — working remotely from far-flung locations with attractive leisure options.
A. Workstations have already appeared in Japan.
B. The concept isn’t completely unfamiliar in Japan.
C. The efforts have also run up against various barriers.
D. Tokyo tells workers to stay home to enjoy a new lifestyle.
E. The aim is to avoid traffic chaos during next year’s Olympics.
F. He warned of potentially “fatal traffic jam” if action is not taken.
G. Others also see the Games as a chance to break existing work habits.
