    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.

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 (遲鈍的) boy."

I gave him my usual reply.And so I used to walk round in circle and hope that by chance I would get ply. But just as I walked on only a few steps. I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting.

第四部分:寫作 【共兩節(jié)，滿分35分】

第一節(jié)：任務(wù)型閱讀（共十小題；每小題1分，滿分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?

Title: How to make a (56)________ speech
Techniques	Reasons	Requirements
Keep it simple	You should (57)________ your idea well enough	Prepare one or two of your main ideas.
	The audience will not catch your idea if your idea is (58)________.
Get (59)________	You should get your speech well organized.	Know very well about the (61)________, body and ending of the speech
	If you don’t, the (60)________ will be confused.
Keep it (62)________	Your speech should be short enough to hold your audience curiosity and (63)________.	Make your speech as short as (64)________.
	If you don’t, the audience will be (65)________.
