阅读理解。     True to their reputation as leisure-loving gourmets(美食家),the French spend more time
sleeping and eating than anyone else among the world"s wealthy nations,according to a study
published on Monday.
     The average French person sleeps almost nine hours every night,more than an hour longer
than Japanese and Korean,who sleep the least in a survey of 18 members of the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).Despite their siesta(午睡)habit,Spaniards
rank only third in the poll after Americans,who sleep more than 8.5 hours.
     And while more and more French people grab a bite at fast-food chains these days or,wolf
down a sandwich at their desk,they still spend more than two hour"s a day eating.
     That means their meals are twice as long as those of the average Mexican,who dedicates just
over an hour a day to food,the OECD"s "Society at a Glance" report on work,health and leisure
in Asia,Europe and North and South America found. The Japanese,scrimping (吝啬) on sleep
and burdened with long working hours,still manage to spend close to two hours a day eating and
drinking,placing them third behind New Zealanders.

quarter-U.S. obesity肥胖) rates are the highest in the 30 members of OECD.

to the radio. This takes up 47 percent of leisure time in Japan. Norwegians spend the most time at
leisure,just over a quarter of their day,while at the low end,Mexicans spend just 16 percent of their
time having fun.
