Ⅵ.概要写作

• 15．阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
      What time do you start work？Do you prefer a leisurely start to the day，or are you an early bird who likes to get going at the crack of dawn？
      At one computer programming company in the US you have no such choice.Work begins at the same oddly specific time every day-9：06 am.
      In contrast to a more conventional 9 am kick-off，employees in Pivotal Software's 20 offices around the globe have to be at work and ready to go precisely six minutes later.
      At that time a cowbell is rung and employees gather for a brief stand-up meeting.After that it's a long time to work，with no other meetings or distractions throughout the working day.They focus on working until 6 pm sharp，at which point everybody stops working.
      So what's the reason behind this unique timekeeping？Company CEO Rob Mee explains it's about making his team of computer programmers as efficient as possible.
      "I realized that programmers，if left to their own devices，may roll in at 10 am，" he says.
      "We thought that if we made it 9 am，developers prepare themselves for the day would think，'Well if it is 9 am I'll be late.'"
      He needed a little more extra time，but a starting time of 9：05 am felt too rigidly precise-whereas 9：06 am seemed "fun".
      Mr Mee was also thinking of their stomachs.Lazier programmers who turned up around 10：00 am would also often have missed breakfast.This meant they would be hungry by 11：00 am and take an early lunch，leaving them with an endlessly long working afternoon ahead.So he decided to provide breakfast as an extra incentive（激励）to get in to the office on time.
      The company's approach to punctuality may seem boring，but Pivotal Software is in fact a highly successful company，valued at 20 billion RMB.And Pivotal is not alone：Silicon Valley has long been associated with an alternative working culture.Google has "nap pods" and meditation classes，while Netflix offers a year's paid parental leave（亲子假）.
