解析试题分析：外面的风景是多么的美丽，面对无聊的办公室工作，为什么不去度假呢？因此对全世界各国的假期情况进行了一个调查。报告中指出了美国、法国、瑞典、英国等国家的假期情况，但是报告中也展示出了有的国家工人并不是将全部假期用完。
【小题1】细节理解题。问题：有多少美国工人不全部用完他们的假期？分析原文：A new survey(调查)found that 31﹪of U.S workers don’t always take all of their vacation days.句意：一个调查发现：31%的美国工人并不是一直花费全部的假期，因此结合选项之意，选择第四项。故选D
【小题2】细节理解题。问题：实际上美国一年平均有多少天的假期？分析原文：Americans have 12 vacation days on average(平均)each year, but they give back an average of 3 vacation days each year.句意：美国人每年假期平均有12天，但是他们每年平均返还3天的假期。分析问题：实际有多少天的假期，有12天，返还3天，12-3=9，因此实际为九天的假期。故选 A
【小题3】细节理解题。问题：哪一个国家有多数工人在假期中工作？分析原文：Workers in Sweden receive an average of 25 vacation days a year, but they can’t find time to use them all. More workers there return vacation days than any other country surveyed.句意：工人在瑞典获得每年平均25天的假期, 但他们不能找到合适的方式来使用它们。所以更多的工人在假期工作。这种现象比其它调查过的国家都多。从最后的总结中体现了答案。故选C
【小题4】细节理解题。问题：在最后一段中这个单词的意思？分析原文：their weekends or vacations are too short and 40﹪ would sacrifice a day’s pay(工资)for one more vacation day.句意：周末或假期太短，40﹪的人将放弃一天的工资为了能够多一个假期。也就是说他们会请假去休息。故选D
