I stopped at a gas station(加油站)about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friends. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that Id left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池)was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.

The problem is that she did the same in the opposite direction. He and Anna even managed to miss each other when they sat in the same airport waiting room in Singapore at the same time to wait for connecting flights.Anna, heartbroken, when she arrived at Eddys Sydney flat to find he had flown to London, told The Times, “It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us.“He is the most romantic(浪漫的) person I have ever known. I think our problem is that we are both quite impulsive(冲动的) people. We are always trying to surprise each other.”After an 11,000-mile flight across the globe, she was greeted by Eddys astonished roommate asking what she was doing there.Eddy, a 27-year-old engineer, had taken a year off to travel round Australia. But he was missing Anna, a 26-year-old secretary, so much that he got a job on a Sydney building site(工地) and started saving for a surprise.He then flew home to Britain and went to her flat armed with an engagement(订婚) ring, wine and flowers.“I really missed Anna and Id been thinking about her all the time. I was so excited when she phoned me from Australia,” he said.Eddy then asked Anna to marry him on the phone. “I didnt know whether to laugh or cry but I accepted,” she said.Anna was given a tour of Sydney by Eddys friends before going back home.

They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity(生产力) per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to “spend” a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be greatly lower taxes in America, which increase the rewards to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.Longer hours do of course increase the GDP(国内生产总值). So the United States has produced more per worker than, say, France. The United States also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life. It is too early to explain the different trends（趋势）in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance?29. Which of the following countries has more of its people at work?A. Spain. B. France. C. Germany. D. America. 30. What message can we get from the text?A. The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.B. Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.C. People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.D. Americans are happier than Europeans.31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Americans and Europeans B. Staying at HomeC. Work and Productivity D. Work and HappinessDFOR many young people, having to attend school with a parent would be their worst nightmare.
