II. READING. Read the text and answer the questions:

Ophelia was a night shift worker at a hospital. This meant that she worked late at

night. Ophelia's work schedule was 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. Ophelia would sleep during the

day while most people were at work. For the first year of work, Ophelia had a hard

time adjusting to the schedule. She had trouble sleeping during the afternoon. She

was upset that she had to miss out on social events her friends hosted.

It's still hard for Ophelia to adjust, but she is better at it. When she comes back

from work, she goes to the gym for a few hours. Then, she practices her knitting

skills. Afterwards, she would make herself a healthy meal. Night shift workers often

eat unhealthier than day shift workers. After lunch, she would watch her favorite TV

show. After that, she would sleep.

The hospital informed the employees that they could send requests to change

the time of their shift. Ophelia was excited about this and immediately sent in a
request to change her shift. A couple of weeks later, the manager gave Ophelia a

letter. The letter stated that her request was rejected.

Ophelia was shocked. She went to her manager and asked him why. He said

that many night shift workers who requested an earlier shift were elderly. Ophelia

was only 25. The manager thought that the older employees needed an earlier shift

more than Ophelia did.

Ophelia was mad at first, but she thought about the older employees. Their

bones were aching and they're tired. They do need earlier shifts more than her.
