Unit 5　LEISURE TIME 英语　必修2(E) 本文对经合组织 30个成员国中能提供确切数据的国家的闲暇时间进行了调查和对比。 Leisure Time True to their reputation as leisure­loving gourmets(美食家)，the French spend more time sleeping and eating than anyone else among the world’s wealthy nations，according to a study published on Monday. 英语　必修2(E) The average French person sleeps almost nine hours every night，more than an hour longer than the average Japanese and Korean，who sleep the least in a survey of 18 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) . Despite their siesta(午睡) habit，Spaniards rank only third in the poll after Americans，who sleep more than 8.5 hours.And while more and more French people grab a bite at fast­food chains these days or wolf down a sandwich at their desk，they still spend more than two hours a day eating. 英语　必修2(E) That means their meals are twice as long as those of the average Mexican，who dedicates just over an hour a day to food，the OECD’s“Society at a Glance” report on work，health and leisure in Asia，Europe and North and South America found. The Japanese，Scrimping on sleep and burdened with long commutes and working hours，still manage to spend close to two hours a day eating and drinking，placing them third behind New Zealanders. 英语　必修2(E) Despite the moderate amount of time Americans spend eating each day—about an hour and a quarter—U.S obesity rates are the highest in the 30 members of OECD. The Japanese like to spend what remains of their scarce free time watching television or listening to the radio.This takes up 47 percent of leisure time in Japan. Turks，on the other hand，spend more than a third of their leisure time entertaining friends. 英语　必修2(E) Norwegians spend the most time at leisure，just over a quarter of their day，while at the low end，Mexicans spend just 16 percent of their time having fun. The OECD has 30 members.The survey covers only the countries for which appropriate figures were available. Notes词汇积累 1．grab a bite 吃点东西(非正式语)；随便吃几口；先吃点
