阅读理解

    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 2,259 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 over time. Their workers don't get more pay for more work. These people think it's their duty to wore more hours. Some are afraid of losing their job 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 (迟钝的) boy."

Walking around the city,you will see girls wearing hanfu on the underground or people wearing T—shirt with Chinese characters in the streets.A new trend (潮流) is getting popular in China.It's guochao or China—Chie.Guochao adds traditional Chinese culture into products

Guochao got people's attention in 2018.Before that,the market was controlled by foreign companies.There were few Chinese brands.To win the market share,many Chinese brands followed the footsteps of these Western brands.In 2018,but also included elements(元素) of traditional Chinese culture.It quickly caught people's attention at home and abroad.And it created amazing sales.

Later,many Chinese brands,from food,started to add Chinese culture into their products.Even the film and music industries made every effort to create Chinese styles."We want our products to be the ones that young people would like to share."They said.

These brands got what they wanted.Young people gradually converted their attention from Western culture to guochao.They accepted it with pleasure.What's more,they started to develop interest in traditional Chinese art and literature.Now they wear traditional clothes,practice Chinese calligraphy(书法)

No matter how guochao develops,there is one thing that won't change——people's confidence in our country's development and culture is growing.

①Hello! My name is Emma and I'm eleven years old. I have a brother, Josh, who's just five. I live with my family on a farm in the southwest of England. I was born in London, but my parents moved to Devon when I was two. My brother was born here, in Northam. My father runs the farm and my mother is a vet (兽医). We have lots of animals on our farm like ducks, chickens, pigs, sheep, cows and horses.

②I love living in the country. I don't mind getting up early every day. I'm old enough to help my parents with the work on the farm. I love feeding ducks and chickens. It's not difficult at all. It takes me about a quarter of an hour to give them fodder every morning, but first I have breakfast myself. Sometimes I also help my dad milk the cows, especially on weekends.

③My brother and I go to a local primary school (小学). My mother always drives us to school and picks us up when lessons are over, at 3 o'clock.

④On Wednesdays, I have a karate (空手道) class so I go back home by bus. When I come back, I do my homework first and then help my parents with the animals or in the garden. We usually have dinner at six o'clock. After dinner, I often play computer games or watch TV. Before I go to bed, I always read for a while but not too long because I have to get up early the next day.
