They don’t have enough time with their families. They can’t take care of things at home. They don’t have time to relax. 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 513 more hours a year than a French worker. That is more than 12 weeks, or three months, of extra work! Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to earn more money. However, many panies don’t pay overtime. Their workers don’t get extra pay for extra work. These people are afraid they will lose their job if they don’t work extra hours. Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation. In Germany, they get from four to six weeks. In the United States, two weeks of vacation is the average(平均數(shù) ). Many people don’t even use all of their vacation days. In one study in Great Britain, fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In English, people say, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” If that is true, there are a lot of dull people in the world. ( ) 31. How long does a Japanese work every week? A.

B Daniel isn’t doing well at school, and he is very busy. Every week, he has drum lessons, tennis lessons, chess club and swimming meets. Not surprisingly, he stays up late finishing his homework. Daniel’s mum is worried because Daniel always feels stressed and she doesn’t know why. Daniel isn’t suffering from low confidence. He is suffering from having too much to do. Keep in mind that school is your child’s most important activity. If your child has too many outside activities, this constant running from one thing to the next gets in the way of school success. Help them choose two or three things they love doing. Three is enough. When they have too much to do, kids often appear to have emotional(情感的 ) problems, learning problems, poor study skills or poor working habits. As a matter of fact, they just don’t have time to do their homework, play or relax. It seems as if these kids are attempting(試圖 ) to squeeze(擠壓 ) school into their busy schedules(日程表 ). Kids always do better at school and in everyday life if they aren’t stressed out or too tired.
