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 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.

I was once a fat girl. I weighed 336 pounds and looked as big as my fridge. I was never 1 it. But one day I had a medical examination（体检）. The doctor told me that I was having heart trouble. It 2 me up. I began to feel nervous. Then I decided to do something!

In a year and five months, I3 104 pounds. What a great thing I did ! I didn't have any expensive food, medical treatment（治疗）or camp-style（训练营式的）exercise. What was the secret to my success?

First I looked through the Internet for do-it-yourself 4 that people could follow on losing weight. Of course I saw countless(无数的) ads which tried to get me to buy their products. But I bought nothing. The only thing I did was to change my bad 5 . The following are what I have done. You can try these. Stop drinking something with too much sugar in it. Refuse(拒绝)sweet cakes. Eat green vegetables. Use only vegetable oil. Never eat after 6:30 pm. Also, do light exercise for 15 to 20 minutes five days a week. 

Then I kept doing what I should do. People sometimes say, "You don't need to tell me 6 to do. I know it already!" But the fact is that knowing what to do and doing what you know are totally7 . The important thing is to know what to do and then just keep doing it. 。

Ben's mum My Son's First Day at School

Madison Checketts is a 12-year-old girl from Utah, the USA. She has always loved the 1 . When on vacation with her family in California, she couldn't turn a blind eye to all the plastic water bottles 2 her favorite beaches. So she decided to focus on (专注于) 3 plastic litter.

When Madison started researching plastic water bottles online, she found that Americans use more than 35 billion plastic water bottles every year, and most of them are not recycled 4 .

So Madison tried to 5 an environment-friendly water bottle. After lots of research and hard work, she designed the Eco Hero-an edible (可食用的) water bottle. People can poke (戳) a(n) 6 at the top of it, drink the water, and then eat it. It 7 only about $1.20 to make one.

"It took a lot of effort to develop the Eco-Hero," says Madison. "I just kept trying something new, and 8 it didn't work, I would do more research and try again. As for the future of the Eco-Hero, I want to do more tests to improve it and make it more stronger, bigger and be able to last for a 9 time. Also, I hope my invention will inspire (激励) 10 to make a difference, even if it's just in a small way."
