     It's so beautiful outside that spending the day in the office would be very boring. So why not take the
vacations (假期) off? A new survey (调查) found that 31% of U.S workers don't always take all of their
vacation days. Americans have 12 vacation days on average (平均) each year, but they give back an average
of 3 vacation days each year.
     So why don't they use up their vacation days? Some say they would rather get money back for their
unused days; some busy workers say they just can't leave their work. Americans have fewer vacation days
than workers in any other country surveyed.
     The French take their vacations seriously. French workers get an average of 39 vacation days, and 40%
plan to take at least one there-to-four-week vacation.
     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.
     British workers have the longest working week in Europe (欧洲), with 23 vacation days-the shortest
vacation. So they feel overworked. 75% say their weekends or vacations are too short and 40% would
sacrifice a day's pay (工资) for one more vacation day.
1. How many vacation days do Americans have on average each year in fact?
A. 9
B. 12
C. 15
D. 23 
2. Which country has the most workers working during the vacation days?
A. America.
B. France.
C. Sweden.
D. Great Britain.
3. What does the word "sacrifice" mean in the last sentence?
A. Use up.
B. Put up.
C. Take up.
D. Give up.
4. Which of the following is true?
A. Some American workers are too busy to leave their work.
B. French workers can take one Three-to-four week days.
C. Swedish workers can enjoy all of their vacation days.
D. British workers have the shortest vacation days of all the countries surveyed.

     It was already late when we started going to the next town. It was about 15 miles away on the other
 side of the hill. There we felt sure that we would find a bed for the night. Darkness fell along the narrow
  road to the hill. As we climbed higher, it became colder and rain began to fall. It was difficult at times to
  see the road, so I asked my friend John to drive slowly.
     We travelled for about 20 miles but we couldn't find the town. We were beginning to feel worried.
  Then the car stopped. We found that we were out of petrol (汽油), so we decided to spend the night in
  the car.
     After eating some bread, I tried to go to sleep at once, but John, a poor sleeper, got out of the car after
  a few minutes and went for a walk up the hill. Soon, he came running back. From the top of the hill he
 saw the lights of the town in the valley below. At once, we tried to push the car to the top of the hill. In
 less than an hour we were in the town, and we found a hotel there easily.
