Some Google employees who worked in offices before the coronavirus pandemic could have their pay cut if they choose to continue working from home, according to Reuters.
Screenshots sent to Reuters show a calculator that employees can use to see how much they will be paid if they continue to work remotely, with those living furthest from offices facing the biggest cuts.
The calculator showed that an employee at the company's New York office living in Stamford, Connecticut, which is one hour from New York City by train, would be paid 15% less if they chose to work from home.
However, the change won't affect those who live nearby, so an employee from the New York office living in the city would not be paid less if they worked remotely.
Remote working has been common in the tech industry for years, even before the pandemic, and Google says it has always paid people differently depending on where they work.
It also isn't the only company to do so. GitLab has paid its over 1,300 all-remote employees based on their location for years. Other companies, like Facebook, Microsoft and Twitter have already said they will cut the pay of employees working from home in less expensive areas.
However, some tech companies are taking the opposite approach. Reddit and Zillow plan to pay their employees the same amount no matter where they work, saying it improves diversity. It might also help them find and keep good employees.

👉Summary
《路透社》報導， Google員工若選擇繼續在家工作的話，可能面臨減薪的情況。舉例來說，居住在康乃狄克州史丹福，上班地點在紐約辦公室的員工，距離紐約搭火車約一個鐘頭，如果選擇在家辦公的話將減少15%的薪水。不過這項改變將不會影響住附近的人，所以住在紐約且在紐約辦公室上班的員工，如果遠端工作的話並不會被減薪。其他公司像是臉書、微軟和推特也表示他們將會縮減住在較便宜地區且在家上班的員工薪水。然而，有些科技公司則採取相反的方法。 Reddit和Zillow計畫不論員工在哪裡上班，都要支付他們一樣的薪資，並表示這樣做可以幫他們留住好員工。

👉Article
A new survey has found that the number of female managers at Japanese companies has risen to a record high — but is still less than 10%.
The survey, by research company Teikoku Databank, found that an average of 8.9% of managers at Japanese companies are women. Teikoku asked for information from over 24,000 companies, and almost 11,000 replied.
At some companies, more than 30% of managers are women. But at more than 45% of companies, there are no women managers at all. And almost 60% of companies said they did not expect their percentage of women managers to change.
However, the results show a 1.1% increase in women managers from the 2020 survey, which only found 7.8% of managers to be women. It is also the highest percentage since this data started to become available in 2013.
While the number of female managers is increasing, it still isn't as high as many people would like. In 2003, the Japanese government, under Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, set a goal of 30% of leadership positions being occupied by women by the year 2020.
That goal has not been reached, and the government is now hoping that it will happen sometime during the next 10 years.
Teikoku Databank said that when asked, many smaller companies said that it can take a long time to prepare female employees for management jobs. Teikoku said that companies need strategies for getting women into these positions.

👉Summary
問卷發現，日本企業女性經理的人數創新高，不過仍低於10%。問卷發現，日本公司平均8.9%的經理是女性。在某些公司裡，甚至有超過30%的經理是女性。 不過有超過45%的企業中，經理完全沒有女性。 且近60%企業表示，他們並不預期女性經理的比例會有所改變。不過，調查結果顯示從2020年的問卷之後，女性經理的比例增加1.1%。這也是自2013年有數據紀錄以來，比例最高的一次。

👉Article
William Shakespeare, the great English writer, invented hundreds of words, many of which are still used in English today. But how did he do it?
He put two words together
"Bedroom" might sound like an obvious name for the place where you sleep, but Shakespeare was the first to put together "bed" and "room" in that way. Many of the words Shakespeare invented were created by putting together two existing words in this way, like "birthplace," "farmhouse" and "watchdog."
He changed verbs into adjectives
When it gets cold enough, water freezes and becomes ice. But Shakespeare decided that the verb "to freeze" would also make a great adjective, which is why we can now describe very cold temperatures as "freezing." It's also why we can call a silly idea "laughable," or describe something that satisfies you as "satisfying."
He changed nouns into verbs
Before Shakespeare, your elbow was just a body part. But Shakespeare used "elbow" as a verb for the first time, and today it can be used to mean "to push past someone." He also made "bet" into a verb as well.

👉Summary
偉大的英國作家威廉莎士比亞發明數百個字，有許多現今仍在英語中使用。 不過他是怎麼辦到的呢？
他將兩個字湊在一起
莎士比亞是第一個將（bed）和（room）組合在一起，變成 （bedroom）「寢室」的人。「出生地」（birthplace）、「農舍」（farmhouse）和「看門狗」（watchdog），也是以這種方式將兩個現有的字拼湊起來。
他將動詞變成形容詞
氣溫變得夠低時，水會結凍變成冰。 莎士比亞認為動詞「使結冰」也會是一個很棒的形容詞，這也是為什麼麼我們能用（freezing）來形容非常冷的氣溫。 也是為什麼我們會用（laughable）來形容一個可笑的想法。
他將名詞變成動詞
在莎士比亞出現以前，你的手肘還只是一個身體部位。 但莎士比亞第一次是把「elbow」作為動詞來使用，現在它能夠用來傳達「把別人推擠開」的意思。 他也把「bet」變成動詞。

👉Words & Phrases
invent發明
obvious明顯的
existing現存的

👉Article
George Orwell was born in India but went to school in England. After he left school, he got a job with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma. At the time, Burma — now Myanmar — was treated as part of India by Britain, which ruled both countries.
Orwell didn't like how the British treated the local people in Burma, and in 1927 he decided to leave his job and become a writer instead.
Like another famous author, Ernest Hemingway, Orwell went to Spain during its civil war in the 1930s. He went to report on the war but stayed and fought against the fascist side.
Society and politics are important topics in Orwell's most popular books. He got the idea for Animal Farm, in which animals take control of the farm they live on, from the Russian Revolution of 1917.
And Orwell's most famous book, 1984, follows Winston Smith as he tries to live under a government that allows no personal freedom.
A lot of ideas in 1984 have become part of the English language and culture. For example, the world of 1984 is ruled by Big Brother. We now call any government or organization that tries to control what people say and do "Big Brother."
Orwell died at age 46 from tuberculosis in 1950, the year after 1984 was published.

👉Summary
社會和政治是歐威爾書籍中的重要議題。 歐威爾從1917年的俄國大革命獲得《動物農場》的靈感，創作出動物控制他們居住農場的故事。他另外一本書《1984》講述的是，溫斯頓·史密斯在一個不允許擁有個人自由的政府底下生活的故事。《1984》裡的許多概念都成為英語和英國文化中的一部分。 舉例而言，《1984》裡的世界是被「老大哥」給統治。 我們現在會用「老大哥」(Big Brother)來稱呼嘗試控制人民言論的政府或組織。

👉Words & Phrases
treat對待
civil war內戰

🌏Article
Petting a dog can have a big, positive impact on student well-being, according to a new study from the University of British Columbia in Canada.
Researchers put 284 students into three groups. The first group met with a therapy dog handler but no dog. The second group played with a therapy dog but couldn't touch it. And the third group both played with and petted their therapy dog.
Before the experiment, the students were asked about different measures of their well-being, including their integration into campus life and how happy, lonely or stressed they felt.
When the experiment was completed, all three groups said they felt better across several well-being measures — and the groups with therapy dogs improved more than the group without one.
However, the group of students who were allowed to touch and pet their therapy dog improved the most, and this was the only group that reported feeling better across all well-being measures.
According to the BBC, therapy dogs are becoming more popular in US schools, with over 1,000 universities and colleges using them in 2019.

🌏Summary
根據加拿大英屬哥倫比亞大學的一項新研究，擼狗對學生的健康會產生很顯著的正面影響。研究人員將284位學生分成三個群體。 第一組跟沒有帶狗的治療犬訓犬師會面。第二組跟一隻治療犬玩耍但不能觸摸牠。 第三組的人既能夠跟他們的治療犬玩，也可以擼狗。實驗完成的時候，三個群體的人都說他們在幸福指標上，都有了更良好的感受——配有治療犬的群體比沒有狗的那一組改善更多。不過，能夠撫摸治療犬的學生們進步幅度最大。這組學生也是唯一在所有幸福指標上，都感受更好的一組。
