44、we are heading for a society leisure. The trend is unmistakable. One hundred years ago, they point out a worker put in twelve or thirteen hours a day, six days a week, and week followed week without an annual vacation. But over the years the picture has changed. Today the typical work week has five
45、eight-hour days, and workers enjoy about three weeks of paid vacation every year, with the result that today me spend less than as much time on the job as people did before.In spite of this, todays worker may not feel that he has a great deal of leisure time.

Man is about to go out to the playground.（分数：10.00）(1).People have _ today.（分数：2.00）A.more leisureB.less workC.less leisureD.more work(2).Although people spend less time on their jobs, they still feel they d
