閱讀下列短文，從每小題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。
         Strange thing happens to time when you travel. Because the earth is divided into twenty-four time zones
one hour apart, you can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer
than seven days. 
         If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone (時區(qū)) every
day. As you enter each zone, the time changes the hour. Travelling west, you set your clock back; travelling
east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.
         If you travel by ship across the Pacific you cross the International Date Line. By agreement, this is the
point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar the full day, backward or
forward. Travelling east, today becomes yesterday; travelling west, it is tomorrow!
1. The best title for this passage is              .
[     ]
A. A Trip Across the Atlantic
B. How Time Changes Around the World
C. Crossing the International Date Time
D. How Time Zones Were Set up
2. From the passage it seems true that the Atlantic Ocean               .
[     ]
A. is in one time zone
B. is divided into twenty-four time zones

　　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．
