单选题Directions: After reading the following passage, you will
find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each
question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make
the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a
single line through the centre. When the two-day
weekend system was first put into practice in 1995, it caused a big stir in
China. Now a decade has passed; the system has proved a great success in
promoting economic development and improving the living standard. People can
have more time for family reunions and social activities, for education and
entertainment. The weekend has become an indispensable part of modern life.
However, though weekend can provide people with the kind of rest and relaxation
essential to a happy and healthy life, there are still many people who are at a
loss what to do with the time and just idle away the precious two days. So how
one can make the best use of the two-day weekend is becoming a controversial
issue. In a word, leisure choices vary with the occupations and
hobbies of different individuals. People who sit down much time should
participate more in physical activities on weekends to strengthen their bodies.
Running, swimming and skiing are all recommendable. Through these outdoor
sports, they can stretch their muscles and get refreshed from the strain of
five-day work routine. For those who are engaged in manual jobs, hobbies such as
reading books, listening to music and watching performances are excellent
alternatives. Such activities for both the mind and body certainly contribute to
temperament cultivation and energy restoration. In addition, people can make
full use of the weekend to acquire knowledge by attending classes so as to
enrich their knowledge and broaden their horizon, which should be something
enjoyable instead of a burden.
