Question

【题目】根据材料内容，选择正确答案。
B
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.
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 workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull(迟钝的) boy." If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.

【解析】
（1）细节理解。由第二段的第二句和第三句了解。法国人一年工作1,646小时。日本人一年工作2159小时。由此可以算出日本比法国人要多工作 513个小时，故选A。
（2）整体理解。extra指的是额外的，这一句的意思是一些人上额外的班因为可以赚到更多的钱。故选B。
（3）细节理解。从第四段的第三句的最后，我们可以知道在美国直邮两周的带薪休假。故选C。
（4）判断正误题，从第四段可以得出，是有带薪假期的，A错误。从第四段的第一句，大家认为假期太短暂了可以得出，B错误。从第四段最后一句得到的信息是只工作不玩耍，聪明孩子也变傻，但是傻的很多，所以说不是全部的人都会休假的，所以D错误。正确答案是C。
（5）从文中的信息得到什么。我们从整个文章中得到很多人都想工作很长时间。
