Scientists tell us why we don't like Monday

READING 1

Friday is great. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are OK.

Sunday is not so good. And Monday?. We don't like Monday. This is
not a surprise for most people, but now you can tell your boss that
scientists agree with you.
In an experiment, scientists from the University of Essex in the UK
interviewed 5000 workers at the begining and the end of the
week. The results say that people often have good job satisfaction
on Friday, but by Sunday employees don't like the idea of work.
Why don't we like Monday? Dr Taylor, a scientist from the
University of Essesx, thinks that it could be because emloyees
somtimes work more hours than they want to. This can make
people unhappy at work. He advises that flexible working hours
and taking days off in the week may help. So, next time you wake
up and hate Monday morning, take a holiday.

A partnership is an association of two or more persons to carry on a business for

profit. When the owners of a partnership have unlimited liability, they are called
general partners. If one or more partners have limited liability, they are called
limited partners. There may be a silent partner as well- a person who is known to
the public as a member of the firm but without authority in management. The
reverse of the silent partner is the secret partner - a person who takes part in
management but who is not known to the public.

READING 2

Any business may be operated as a partnership. There are partnerships in

professional fields such as medicine, law, accounting, insurance and
stockbrokerage. Limited partnerships are a common form of ownership in real
estate, oil prospecting, and the mining and quarrying industries, to name a few.
Partnerships are more advantageous than sole proprietorships if one needs
multiple sources of capital or diversified management. Like sole proprietorships,
they are easy to form, and ofteb receive favored treatment by the government
as well as tax benefits.
There are a number of disadvantages to partnerships. One is unlimited liability.
This means that each partner is responsible for all debts and legal
responsibilities in connection with the business. Another disadvantage is that
partners may disagree with each other. Complications can also arise with the
death of a partner. For example, a share of the business could come into the
hands of a less desirable associate.
