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 some money.

Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they dont work more hours.Many people say that their holidays are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid holiday(带薪假期) a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the US, two weeks. One study shows(表明) fewer than half of workers used all their holiday days. In the UK, there is a saying, All work and no play makes Jack a dull(迟钝的) boy.

How would you feel about taking time once a week to read aloud to a dog.Each dog in a reading program experiences a special training session. The trainers also receive training; they learn how to interact(互动)with the students and the dogs. Each program has high standards. There have been many studies of the interactions between humans and dogs that show dogs lower peoples blood pressure and heart rate. People become more relaxed and calmer and will completely forget what they are scared of when they have a dog nearby.Unlike at school, where students sit at desks or tables, students and dogs sit together on special reading mats. Some students lie next to the dogs. Each student reads to one dog, so there is a quiet din of voices in the room. The dog has been taught a command to pay attention to the reader. So when the trainer says something to the dog, it focuses on the student at once. But sometimes, the students read the dogs to sleep!The dogs trainer is also present. He or she watches the dog carefully to make sure that the dog behaves. Sometimes, the trainer gives the dog a break when the dog becomes restless. While the trainer doesnt help with the reading, the trainer talks to the student about the dog and explains how to take care of pets and how to be safe around animals.Students who read to dogs show the benefits of this interaction. They are calmer and can avoid worrying about getting all the words correct. The dog just wants to hear the story. As students learn more about the dogs they read to, they also learn that they have gained a new friend.Not only do students change their reading habits with the dogs during the program, but they also change their school habits. Their reading skills increase by twelve to twenty percent. They start raising their hands and answering questions more often. They pay more attention in class. Some students start arriving at school earlier and are absent less often.Dogs are not just for playing fetch with anymore. Now they can help people become better readers. Next time you visit your local library, be on the lookout for four-legged creatures (生物) who want to hear a good story.（1）The underlined word “command” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”.A . lessonB . orderC . languageD . rule（2）From the passage, we can learn that this activity can _.A . help students be more helpful and cleverB . help increase reading speed by 8 percentC . make the trained dogs fall asleep quicklyD . make students be more active in school（3）The writer wants to tell us that _.A . the students can benefit from reading with dogsB . the dogs can be trained to understand the storyC . the students can be taught to train dogs wellD . the trainers help students to read correctly（4）What is the change when humans interact with dogs?A . They will be more nervous.B . They will be more excited.C . They will be more aggressive.D . They will be more peaceful.（5）What is probably the best title for this passage?A . Why do we need dogs?B . Where can we read books?C . Who can help us read books?D . How do we change the habits?34. （15分）阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。 It is not easy for people to sail (航海) around the world in quite small boats. Sometimes the weather gets bad. Accidents(事故) can happen easily and quickly.One family once had an accident. A big fish swam under their boat and bit holes(洞) in it. Sea water came in and the boat soon went down. Luckily these people had another small boata lifeboat, so they all got into the lifeboat. They lived in the boat for many days. They ate and slept, and always hoped.
