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.

第四部分:写作 【共两节，满分35分】
第一节：任务型阅读（共十小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
Speaking in public is most people’s least favorite thing. The reason is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become.
But stop biting your finger-nails. Public speaking is easy. It’s just plain talking, and you talk all the time. Although I’m basically shy (honest!), I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years, and I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Your audience is going to come away with one or two of your main ideas. One or two. Not ten or 20. If you can’t express in a sentence or two what you intend to get across, then your speech is not focused well enough. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, there’s no way your audience will.
No matter how long or short your speech is, you’ve got to get your ducks in a row—how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you’re going to close.
When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first. When you know where you’re headed, you can choose any route to get there. A strong close is critical: the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember.
The standard length of a vaudeville act is usually 12 minutes. If all those performers singing and dancing their hearts out couldn’t go on longer without boring the audience, what makes you think you can?
