【題目】 Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don't have enough time with their family. They can’t take care of things at home. They don’t have time to relax.

Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year on work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese employee works 513 more hours a year than a French employee. That is more than 12weeks, or three months, of extra work!

Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don't pay overtime. Their employees don't get extra pay for extra (額外的)work. These people work extra hours because they think it's their duty. Some people are afraid they will lose their jobs if they don't work extra hours.

Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation. In Germany, they get six weeks. In the United States, two weeks of vacations is the average. Many people don’t even use all of their vacation days. In a study in Great Britain, fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. "If that is true, there will be a lot of dull people in the world.

Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some ways of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chaffs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chaff facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out: Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and one chaff. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.
（1）If ten people are playing musical chairs, you must begin with _____.
A.nine chairs
B.ten chaffs
C.eleven chairs
