The stereotype(模式化的思想) is that Americans are lazy, but studies show that people in the USA get less vacation time than people in other parts of the world. A typical American worker gets two or three weeks off out of a whole year for vacation, but most US workers cannot. They usually have to be spread out throughout the year. Even when US workers are on vacation. they are often expected to be in communication with their bosses by email and mobile phone. Most US businesses do not encourage their employees(雇员) to take all the vacation days they are allowed to. In fact. most US companies discourage it.
Other countries, especially countries in Europe, have much more vacation time. In Germany many people have six weeks of paid vacation. Maybe this is why Europeans and other travellers take a vacation in far-off foreign places. Most American families like to stay closer to their homes, hardly leaving the country.
Most companies in countries outside the USA have to give paid time off to their employees. However, in the USA there is no law requiring employers to give workers paid vacation. In fact the USA is the only developed country that doesn't promise to give yearly time off to workers. There have been efforts to pass laws giving US workers one week of paid vacation, but so far those efforts have not been successful.
Even when US workers do have time off, many are afraid to take it because they worry they may lose their jobs. Other workers worry that if they go on vacation, they will have a mountain of work when they return.

Growing up in a family of doctors, Zhong lives by a simple motto(信条): save lives and always be honest.

After months of work, his treatment plan for SARS was adopted (采纳) by China and then the whole world, saving thousands of lives, People's daily reported.

On Jan 18, he took a high-speed train from Guangzhou to Wuhan. Two days later, he became the first expert to make certain that the new virus can be spread between humans. On January 29, he and his colleagues spent over four hours online checking five patients who were in serious condition. The next day, he chose the treatment for those patients. Under his guidance, his team developed a rapid test kit(快速检测试剂盒) for the disease that can show results within 15 minutes.
As People's daily wrote, “the 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan shows his professionalism as a scholar, courage as a soldier, and a sense of duty as the backbone(脊梁) of our nation”. 56.How did he go there when the coronavirus hit Wuhan? ____________________________________________________ 57.Why is Zhong Nanshan thought to be a hero in 2003? ____________________________________________________ 58.What kind of people is easier to get coronavirus?

If you’re away from home, feeling a bit blue or searching for some comfort, the Danes have a
8
solution. It’s called “hygge”. Coming from Danish culture, but popular with the British in 2018, hygge is much more than just a word, it’s becoming a feeling around the world.
The hygge means the sense of happiness you get when your family is gathered together at new year or Christmas. It is all about the pleasant feelings of home: the smell of your mother’s cooking, your partner’s arm around your shoulder and so on.
Hygge is an antidote(良药) to stress. You know when you’ve got it, a gentle warmth starts spreading through your body. Another important part of hygge is that it has nothing to do with modern technology. It’s a period time to relax your tired mind and eyes. So, put down that smartphone and turn off the computer.
You should also know that hygge is not about healthy eating or more exercise. In fact, it’s just the opposite. You’re supposed to be lost in what you like: enjoy sweet snacks and calorie-laden cakes freely. Let yourself think of what happened in the past, and remember the childhood songs of your distant youth with a smile. If it helps, wrap yourself in a warm blanket and sleep with one of your favorite books (not a pill or e-reader).
If Denmark seems too far, then think of old Beijing with its hutong and courtyard houses. Picture yourself sit around a traditional stove with your loved ones, eating dumplings and chatting about the old days. Let yourself drift back in time to a period where everything is relaxing, and there is no need to reply to any e-mails or text messages. They did not exist(存在) back then.
Now you’ve really understood hygge without going to Copenhagen. An Antidote to 61 －Hygge Origin (起源) ♦Hygge came from Danish culture. ♦It was 62 with the British in 2018. ♦You will feel pleased 63 your family members around. What hygge is ♦You needn’t use modern 64 like a smartphone or computer. ♦You can eat whatever you like without 65 about daily exercise. What people can do 68 feeling stressed
♦You can remind 66 of the sweet memories of childhood and relax yourself by reading books that you like 67 . 9
♦If Denmark seems too far, let yourself think of old things and chat about the old days when 69 or text messages didn’t exist. It’s not 70 for you to go to Copenhagen as you have known hygge well. 61.________ 62.________ 63.________ 64.________ 65.________ 66.________ 67.________ 68.________ 69.________70.________
