  Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have little of it.People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam, spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain.This is the reason why the Mediterranean(地中海)has always attracted them.Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation.They all come for the same reason:sun!

  The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economics of Mediterranean countries.Italy’s 30 000 hotels are booked without a break every summer.And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides.Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else.37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain.

Our quarrel with efficiency is not that it gets things done, but that it is a thief of time when it leaves us no leisure to enjoy ourselves, and that it strains our nerves when we try to get things done perfectly. In building bridges, American engineers calculate so finely and exactly as to make the two ends come together within one-tenth of an inch. But when two Chinese begin to dig a tunnel from both sides of a mountain both come out on the other side. --The Chinese’s firm belief is that it doesn’t matter so long as a tunnel is dug through, and if we have two instead of one, why, we have a double track to boot.

  The pace of modern industrial life forbids this kind of glorious and magnificent idling. But, worse than that, it imposes upon us a different conception of time as measured by the clock and eventually turns the human being into a clock himself. (This sort of thing is bound to come to China, as is evident, for instance, in the case of a factory of twenty thousand workers. The luxurious prospect of twenty thousand workers coming in at their own sweet pleasure at all hours is, of course, somewhat terrifying.)Nevertheless, such efficiency is what makes life so hard and full of excitement. A man who has to be punctually at a certain place at five o’clock has the whole afternoon from one to five ruined for him already. Every American adult is arranging his time on the pattern of the schoolboy - three o’clock for this, five o’clock for that, six-thirty for change of dress, six-fifty for entering the taxi, and seven o’clock for arriving at the destination. It just makes life not worth living.

1.The writer objects to efficiency mainly on the grounds that it ____.

   A. gives us rights to have too much leisure time

   B. urges us to get things done punctually

   C. robs us of leisure time

   D. imposes on us a perfect concept of time

2. In the eyes of the author, the introduction of industrial life gives rise to ____.

   A. the excitement of life

   B. magnificent idling of time

   C. more emphasis on efficiency

   D. terrifying schoolboy

3.The passage tells us ____.

   A. Chinese workers come to work when it is convenient

   B. all Americans are forced to be efficient against their will

   C. Chinese engineers are on better terms with the management

   D. Americans ought not to work so hard for efficiency

4. The author believes that relaxing the rule of punctuality in factories would lead to ____.

   A. great trouble                       B. increased production

   C. a hard and exciting life                D. successful completion of a tunnel
