announced that a comet(彗星)is heading towards theEarth.Most of it will miss our planet，but two pieces will probably hit the southernhalf of the Earth.On 17 July，a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earths atmosphere with a创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日massive explosion.About half of the piece is destroyed，but the remaining part hitsthe South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound.The sea boils and a huge holeis made in the sea bed.Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole.Thewall of water，a kilometer high，rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometersan hour.Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of peopleare drowned.Before the waves reach South America，the second piece of the comet lands inArgentina.Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains.The shockwaves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean.The cities of LosAngeles，San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes.Millionsof people in the southern half of the earth are already dead，but the north wontescape for long.Because of the explosions，the sun is hidden by clouds of dust，temperatures around the world fall to almost zero.Crops are ruined.The sun wontbe seen again for many years.Wars break out as countries fight for food.A year later，no more than 10 million people remain alive.Could it really happen?In fact，it has already happened more than once in thehistory of the Earth.The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years.Then65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared.Many

imaginationDAmong rich countries，people in the United States work the longest hours.Theywork much longer than in Europe.This difference is quite surprising becauseproductivity 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 richerthey have chosen to work less.In other words，they have decided to“spend a partof their extra income on a fuller personal life.Over the last fifty years，Europeans创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日have continued this pattern，and hours of work have fallen sharply，but not in theUnited States.We do not fully know why this is.One reason may be greatly lower taxesin America，which increase the rewards(回报)to work.Another may be more satisfyingwork，or less satisfying personal lives.Longer hours do，of course，increase the GDP So the United States had producedmore per worker than，say，France.The United States also hasmore of its people atwork，while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay athome.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 hasto be compared with other values like family life，which often get lost in itsinterest.It is too early to explain the different trends in happiness over time indifferent countries.But it is a disappointing idea that in the United Stateshappiness has made no progress since 1975，while it hasrisen in Europe.Could thishave anything to do with trends in the worklife balance?32.Which of the following countries had more of its people at work?A.Spain.B.France.C.America.D.Germany.33.In the last paragraph，the underlined word“which refers to _.A.family life B.situations C.other values D.trends34.Which of the following would be the best
