Question

There are 365 days in a year. We sleep 8 hours a day, so we have 122 days for sleeping. Then our work time has 243 days left. But there are 52 weekends in a year. Each weekend is two days. We lose another 104 days a year for work. It takes us about one hour to have breakfast and supper. This comes to 15 days over a year. But we can’t work all that time-we need a holiday. Let’s say we have three weeks’ holiday. We don’t work all day. Four free hours each evening takes up 61 days. We have to remember that we get 2 days’ holiday at Easter, 3 at Christmas and 1 at the New Year. There are also 4 Bank holidays. Take those 10 days away and we have 32 days for work. But then we have one and a half hours’ lunch every day, and half an hour’s coffee break. That comes to 30 days a year. This means that we have only a few days left for work every year!

【解析】

试题分析：

1.根据so we have 122 days for sleeping可知，我们一年睡觉122天。所以本题选B。

2.通过 It takes us about one hour to have breakfast and supper. This comes to 15 days over a year.可知，在早饭和晚饭上一年要用15天。所以本题选D。

3.根据 Each weekend is two days可知A是错误的；根据we get 2 days’ holiday at Easter可知C是错误的；根据half an hour’s coffee break可知D是错误的；根据 Four free hours each evening takes up 61 days可知，B 是正确的。

4.根据This means that we have only a few days left for work every year!

可知，我们工作的时间不太多，修饰time不能用many，故排除BD；而much too是“太，非常”的意思，只有too much是“太多”的意思，可以修饰时间。所以本题选C。

5.通过阅读全文，我们知道作者的意思是我们工作的时间不多，不能浪费时间。所以本题选D。
