安徽省六安市毛坦厂中学2020届高三英语下学期假期作业（2.21）.阅读理解AEver feel like there arent enough hours in the day? A group of timechallenged Canadian women are wishing for a 25hour clock.Jessie Behan，president of the 25th Hour Coalition (联盟) which is a group of Canadian women who have changed to a longer day，said the struggle for women to maintain worklife balance motivated her to research the bodys natural clock.“Many of my girlfriends are having kids，getting married，and I see the sufferings of dealing all that when youre a working woman，” she said.“Women like myself are sick of living their lives by a 24hour clock.”A 2007 study by Charles Czeisler found a switch to longer days could be beneficial，especially for frequent travelers，shift workers，astronauts and those who experience trouble sleeping or waking.In a similar study，Czeisler showed the bodys natural clock averages 24 hours and 11 minutes in both young and older people.The current 360degree clock has 720 minutes，giving each minute 0.5 degree.With the new 25hour day，30 minutes is added to each 12hour period making each minute 0.48 degree.While still a relatively small movementthe 25th Hour Coalition has 160 Facebook members，Behan is hoping for large changes.“The goal is to get as many women on board; theres no harm in just trying it out and seeing.If it gets big，maybe the government will decide to standardize it.”A recent online survey by Readers Digest，which included 150 people in each of the 13 countries，suggests its not just Canadians looking for longer days.Readers were asked “What would you do with an extra hour？” if given a choice between sleep，work，exercise and family time.In Spain，half of respondents (被访者) said theyd like an extra hour in the day to devote to family time.The same was found for respondents in Brazil，the US and Britain，who chose family time over sleep，which came in at a close second.Only in India did work top the list with 50 percent of respondents claiming they could use an extra hour at the office.1Some Canadian working women are campaigning for the 25hour day in order to Ahave more chances at workBkeep a balance between life and workCexperience something newDhave a better sleep2Jessie Behan wants more women to join the 25th Hour Coalition because she Aintends to make more Facebook friendsBhopes to get benefits from more peopleCconsiders it is harmless to form such an organizationDthinks it can help those women to realize their dreams3What is implied in the last paragraph?ARespondents from most nations want more family time.BRespondents from developed countries experience more stress.CMost Canadian respondents claim that they need more family time.DIndians are the most hardworking of the 13 nations.BStonehengeStonehenge is still one of the worlds great mysteries.
