第四部分、阅读理解（共11题；每小题2分，共22分）

A

Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don’t have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.

Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513more hours a year than a French worker.

Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don’t pay overtime. Their workers don’t get more pay for more work. Some people think it’s their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work more hours.

Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of the workers used all their vacation days. If they don’t use the vacation days, they will lose the days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” If that is true, there are a lot of dull people in the world.

21. A Japanese worker works________ more hours a year than a French one.

A. 513 B. 1,646 C. 2,159

22. The word “extra” in Paragraph 3 means ________

A. 正常的 B. 额外的 C. 有用的

23. What does the saying “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” imply (暗示)?

A. People should work more hours.

B. People need to balance work and rest.

C. People will become smart if they work hard.

B

Young people and older people do not always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.

Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group.
