There are 365 days in a year．We sleep 8 hours a day, so we have 122 days for sleeping．Then our work time has 243 days left．But there are 52 weekends in a year．Each weekend is two days．We lose another 104 days a year for work．It takes us about one hour to have breakfast and supper．This comes to 15 days over a year．But we can't work all that time-we need a holiday．Let's say we have three weeks' holiday．We don't work all day．Four free hours each evening takes up 61 days．We have to remember that we get 2 days' holiday at Easter, 3 at Christmas and 1 at the New Year．There are also 4 Bank holidays．Take those 10 days away and we have 32 days for work．But then we have one and a half hours' lunch every day, and half an hour's coffee break．That comes to 30 days a year．This means that we have only a few days left for work every year!

　　Strange things happen to time when you travel because the earth is divided(划分)into twenty-four zones(时区), one hour apart(一个时区相差一个小时)．You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-fours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days．

　　If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean(大西洋), your ship enters a different time zone every day．As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour．Traveling west, you set your clock back, traveling east, you set it ahead．Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours．

　　If you travel by ship across the Pacific Ocean(太平洋), you cross the International Date Line(国际日期变更线)．By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins．When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward．Traveling east, today becomes yesterday．Traveling west, it is tomorrow．

　　Leopards(豹)live in many parts of the world, from Siberia to Africa．They have a very beautiful yellow skin with large black spots．They live for about 15 years and eat small mammals(哺乳动物)such as zebras, monkeys, and antelopes(羚羊)．They sleep for about 12 hours a day．Leopards are very solitary(独居的)animals．They spend most of their time alone in trees, where they wait until a small animal passes．They jump on the animal and then drag it up into the tree, where they eat it．

　　Like many animals, leopards are disappearing because people hunt them．They kill them for their beautiful coats．The Sinai leopard, for example, from Egypt, is now probably extinct(绝种的)
