Their parents had passed away long ago. Sam had taken care of Julie by himself.One day, Sam woke up at three in the morning as usual. When Julie was sleeping alone, Sam left their little house to send newspapers. When he found an old man sitting in front of their house, Sam was so surprised that he stopped to look at him closely. It was an icy morning and he looked very cold.The poor old man didn’t have anything to cover himself with. Sam went into his house to get the old man a blanket （毯子）.However, there were no extra blankets, so Sam thought hard and took his father’s coat. It was the only thing of his father’s that he had left. Sam wrote a short note.“Sir, I found you sleeping in front of my house. This is my father’s coat.I hope it fits you well.” He put the note in a pocket of the coat, and covered the old man with the coat. Then he went to work. When he came back three hours later, both the man and the coat were gone. Sam thought that it was the best thing he could have done with his father’s coat.That afternoon, Sam hurried home after school because Julie was at home alone. However, Julie and the old man were standing in front of the house, and Julie shouted to Sam, “Brother! He’s our grandfather!”The grandfather smiled and said, “Sam.Thank you for giving me the coat and letting me know how good my grandson is.

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. 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 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.56.A Japanese worker works more hours a year than a French one.A.513B.1,646C.2,159D.3,80557.The word “extra” in Paragraph 3 means “”.A.正常的B.额外的C.有用的D.少量的58.People in get only two weeks of paid vacation a year.A.FranceB.GermanyC.the United StatesD.Great Britain59.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.No companies offer vacations to their workers.B.Many people say they have enough time to relax.C.Not all companies pay their workers for more work.D.More than half of workers use all their vacation days.60.What can we infer from the passage?A.Many workers have to work long hours.B.Many people have vacations long enough.C.Work hours are the same around the world.D.There are a lot of dull people in the world.CMedical experts say most Americans do not get enough sleep.They say more Americans need to take a nap—that is to rest for a short period in the middle of the day.They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities.
