The Hutuo River is the mother river of Shijiazhuang, the capital city of Hebei. About 20 years ago, it was dirty and almost dried up. Thanks to the government's work, it has become much cleaner. 

Wu Wenzhong, a 58-year-old villager, lives near the river. "My friends and I often played with water, swam and caught fish in it when I was a child. I liked catching fish best, " he said. He remembers that the villagers had to cross the river by boat at that time. But as time passed by, it got dirty and started to dry up. 

To mend the river, the government do a lot of things. They clean the river up and build levees ( 防洪堤) . They plant trees, grass and flowers to green the riverside. They set up safeguard and put up "No Swimming" signs along the river to protect people. They stop factories from putting waste water into the river. They keep an eye on the river to make sure it stays clean for the fish, birds and people who live nearby. They also have a long-term plan to keep the river in good condition. 

Now, there are more than 20 kinds of birds living around the river. It becomes a home for birds again. People can enjoy a day outdoors with the beauty of nature along the river. Wu and other villagers are happy to see the river looking good again. 

The Hutuo River's story shows that when people work together to take care of nature, good things can happen.

Technology has changed the way we live and especially the way we work. For many jobs, workers no longer need to be in the office building. People can telework: they can work at home or in any place where they can use the necessary technology. 

It is easy to think that this freedom of working is good for workers and for families. But as it turns out, teleworking is both good and bad. A new report looks at the advantages and disadvantages of teleworking at home. It looks at 15 countries including Argentina, Brazil, India, Japan, the United States and 10 European nations. 

According to Vargas, the lead author of the report, the study finds that about 20% of people in Europe who work in an office are reported to have high levels of stress. However, there are over 40% of stressed-out people in Europe among those who deal with busy work at home. He says those stressed-out people who work at home have trouble sleeping. The report also shows that teleworkers say that they often work alone and are likely to work longer than in the office. 

But the report also says there are advantages for those who telework part-time, or not all the time. It says this is good not only for the workers, but also for leaders and companies. " The findings show that if workers do it on a part-time basis, this way of working can turn out to be positive results for workers, leaders and companies. " The report adds, " Two or three days per week seems to be the sweet spot. " Half the time in the office and half the time outside the office seems to be perfect. 

Vargas explains that many organisations have developed some working rules to solve this problem. They set maximum(最大量) numbers of days per week, during which people can work outside the work-site. Usually, workers are able to telework two or three days a week.
