Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don't have enough time to relax or 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. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.

   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 from 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(遲鈍的) boy. ”If that is true,there must be a lot of dull people in the world.[2013 安 徽]

I am very content to share mine with you.

   I like English. Only when you want to do something,can you do it well. Eight years ago,I was taken into the English world. It was fresh to me then. I feel lucky because I met with a respectable teacher. Her teaching style was unique and we were active and excited in classes. So I can say,when I first got touch with English,it interested me very much.

   After I entered the university,I came to realize its special importance. My class provided me with a good atmosphere of studying. For some students,to remember the new words is the biggest barrier,especially now the words are more difficult than before. Actually,words come along with sentences,that is,to understand the words according to its context. Of course,it is necessary that you review it now and then;otherwise you will forget them easily. When reading,I am used to underlining some special and important phrases or write them down on the notebook so that I can find them when I review. If you want to master English better than others,you must pay more than others,you must set aside more time. Don't be lazy.

   Most parents are crazy with their children's little white lies,but here is a piece of good news. A study has shown that children who lie from an early age are more likely to become high-flying leaders,executives (管理者) and bankers. The study of 1 ,200 children has found that a fifth of two-year-olds are likely to tell lies,rising to 90 percent from the age of four. At the age of 12 ,it reaches the highest.

   Dr Kang Lee studied children from the age of two to seventeen. He said ,“Parents should not be worried if their child tells a lie about something that is not important. Almost all children lie. Those children who lie better mean that they can cover up their mistakes. “They may become executives in later life. Lying shows that children have developed executive ability — an act which involves several brain processes to keep the truth at the back of their mind ,” Dr Lee said. 

   Dr Lee told the children not to look at a purple Barney toy dinosaur (恐龍) placed behind their back. He then left the room for one minute —giving them time to look,while their activities were filmed. Nine of the ten children did turn around.

   But most of the children denied (否認(rèn)) it. While the study found the most dishonest age was 12 ,it dropped to about 70 percent once the children turned to 16 years old.

   If someone asks you about India or Asia's great achievements,you may say,Mango!Yes,the mango (芒 果) . Today we all know that the mango is rich in vitamin (維生素) A.C andD.

   How did the mango get its name? It5s an interesting story. The name mango comes from Tamil. From man-kay or man-gay,then it changed to manga. The people who gave it the name manga or mango were the Portuguese (葡萄牙人) . They first came to India,across the sea,about 500 years ago. As they started living in parts of India,they discovered the mango. They seemed to want more of it so they started experimenting with new kinds of mangoes—the famous Alphonso or Mulgoa that we like best today is the result of their hard work.

   Mango is a kind of fruit which has been enjoyed for 3,000 years. Imagine,while Indians have been talking excitedly about the fruit for 3,000 years,the western world has had it for only 300 years!But how do we know that Indians have enjoyed the mango for 3,000 years? Simple,they were excited enough to write about its good qualities in books.

   Down the ages,the mango has got some new qualities. It is seen as a symbol (象征) of good luck and in many parts of west and south India,mango leaves are put up at the front door. It is a belief (看法) that the mango tree is able to make wishes come true.
