vacations (假期) off? A new survey (调查) found that 31% of U.S workers don"t always take all of their
vacation days. Americans have 12 vacation days on average (平均) each year, but they give back an average
of 3 vacation days each year.
So why don"t they use up their vacation days? Some say they would rather get money back for their
unused days; some busy workers say they just can"t leave their work. Americans have fewer vacation days
than workers in any other country surveyed.
The French take their vacations seriously. French workers get an average of 39 vacation days, and 40%
plan to take at least one there-to-four-week vacation.
Workers in Sweden receive an average of 25 vacation days a year, but they can"t find time to use them
all. More workers there return vacation days than any other country surveyed.
British workers have the longest working week in Europe (欧洲), with 23 vacation days-the shortest
vacation. So they feel overworked. 75% say their weekends or vacations are too short and 40% would
sacrifice a day"s pay (工资) for one more vacation day.

| 1. The weather report, a story about the Pop stars and different cultures are examples of messages from the media. Examples of media are television, radio, newspapers and books and the telephone. The media that can reach many people at once are called mass media. 2. It is not difficult to think of other messages we receive through the mass media. Every day we get hundreds of them. Think about ads, for example. We see and hear these messages almost everywhere we go. Ads are important messages. Even though they sometimes make us feel rather angry, they help us know things well. 3. Most of us get more information from the media than from the classroom. Think, for a moment, about how you learn about news and events. Do you learn them from other people or the media? What about international news? What is the most important place of information for you? People who are asked this question usually answer, "Television." 4. Think of all the messages you received today. Perhaps you read a newspaper during breakfast, or maybe you read ads on billboards on your way to school. Did you listen to a weather report or the sports news on the radio this morning? Now you are reading, and that"s to say you"re getting information through a very important medium of mass. 5. The mass media are important to us because they shape our decisions and opinions. 注：(1) media 传媒 (2) mass media 大众传媒 (3) billboards 露天广告 (4) shape 影响 | |||||||||||||
