Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don’t have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.
Working 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.
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 use 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.

35．词义猜测题。根据第三段“However, many companies don’t pay overtime. Their workers don’t get more pay for more work.”可知，许多公司不支付加班费，对于多做的工作，工人们得不到更多的工作报酬；此处表示工作的时间更长，因此划线单词意为“额外的”。故选B。
36．推理判断题。根据第三段“However, many companies don’t pay overtime. Their workers don’t get more pay for more work.”可知，许多公司不支付加班费，他们的工人多加班也得不到相应的报酬；据此可推断不是所有的公司都支付加班费。C项“并不是所有的公司都会支付工人更多的工作报酬。”符合语境。故选C。
