Today you can【C2】______ into the wee hours every day except Sunday. In most German states shophours are, or about to be, fully【C3】______ .

More than half of employees now 【C12】______ their own working hours.【C13】______ two-thirds of all women work, up from half in the 1970s. Then there is digital technology:【C14】______ arriving on the dot, you can send a text message apologizing for being late.【C15】______ , many Germans seem to have trouble adjusting to their new flexibility.

【C17】______ , this is all an outcome of rising wealth and ever more distractions. Yet there are also 【C18】______ barriers that keep Germans from using their time better. One is a bias【C19】______ hiring help, which many see as akin to slavery. Germans spend much time toiling at home unpaid:【C20】______ other countries have so many home-improvement stores.
