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. 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 years ago,when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver,I was driving to my parents,home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City ? where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款臺) ,I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off,but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.
I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city,and when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card.

First Aid
Once a week a nurse visits Tom ’ s school and teaches the students how to help people who suddenly become ill or who have had an accident. Last week,the nurse talked to the students about how to stop bleeding. This is part of what she said ,“When we cut ourselves,we usually bleed. This is because our bodies are full of blood vessels ? which carry blood to and from the heart. It doesn ’t matter if we lose a little blood from time to time. In fact,many people donate blood to hospitals. We can give at least a pint of blood without harming ourselves. We mustn ’ t lose too much blood,however ? so we need to know how to stop bleeding when it occurs. If the injury is small and the amount of blood coming from it is also small,we can usually stop the blood from flowing by pressing on the cut with a clean,cold,wet cloth that has a little sntiseptic on it. It is most important to use antiseptic. If you do not,then dirt and bacteria may get into the wound and cause an infection. If the injury is large and the amount of blood coming from it is also large ? then it is necessary to stop the blood flowing through the blood vessel. We do this by putting pressure on the vessel above the injury. We can either press on it with our fingers or put on a tourniquet,which is a piece of cloth tied tightly around the arm ? leg ? or finger.
A) Answer the following questions according to the passage.
1. What's the passage about?
2. What usually happens when we cut ourselves?
B) Choose the best answer according to the passage.
() 1. What can be dangerous?
