              In China, children like to make promises by hooking pinkies (勾手指) with each other and saying: "A pinkie promise must be kept for 100years." Then, they may press their thumbs together to complete the promise. Sometimes, couples will hook pinkies and promise to be together forever.
              There are many theories (推测) on the beginning of the pinkie promise. Some say it comes from a nursery rhyme. Others say it was introduced from the West - born out of a love story where a man and a woman hooked fingers.
              One theory is may have something to do with the role of fingers in Chinese culture. The Chinese character for "finger" also means "aim (旨)" (referring to people's thoughts). So hooking fingers can be seen as the exchanging of thoughts.
              Therefore, the fingers play an important role in making an oath (盟约): they can not only be used to complete a promise, but also be cut for making a blood oath. When someone swears (发誓) to heaven, they use their fingers to point to the sky.
              Generally, hooking fingers means making a serious promise. In some gangster (黑帮) movies, a person who breaks a promise may have his little finger cut off!
              Of course, this kind of thing is not very likely to happen in real life. But we can still see how important "pinkie promises" can be.

              More and more people around the world are joining in dangerous sports. Some people climbed the highest mountains; some traveled into unknown parts of the world; some sailed small boats across the largest sea. Now some people begin to look for new excitement.

              Bungee jumping (蹦极) and motorcycle racing (摩托车赛) are quite dangerous sports. Bungee jumping only lasts for a few minutes or even seconds. You jump from a high place, about 200 meters above the ground, and there is a rubber band (橡胶带子) tied to your legs. When you jump down, the rubber band pulls you up. About 2,000,000 people around the world have tried bungee jumping.

              Why do people join in these dangerous sports. Some scientists say that it is because modern life has become safe and it is not interesting. In the past, people lived in danger. They had to go out and look for food, and life was like a fight but was interesting.

              Many people think that there is little excitement in life. They live and work in safe places, buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.

              A. they have a lot of free time

              It’s so beautiful outside that spending the day in the office would be very boring. So why not take the vacations(假期)off? A new survey(调查)found that 31﹪of U.S workers don’t always take all of their vacation days. Americans have 12 vacation days on average(平均)each year, but they give back an average of 3 vacation days each year.

              So why don’t they use up their vacation days? Some say they would rather get money back for their unused days; some busy workers say they just can’t leave their work. Americans have fewer vacation days than workers in any other country surveyed.

              The French take their vacations seriously. French workers get an average of 39 vacation days, and 40﹪plan to take at least one there-to-four-week vacation.

              Workers in Sweden receive an average of 25 vacation days a year, but they can’t find time to use them all. More workers there return vacation days than any other country surveyed.

              British workers have the longest working week in Europe(欧洲),with 23 vacation days --the shortest vacation. So they feel overworked.75﹪say their weekends or vacations are too short and 40﹪would sacrifice a day’s pay(工资)for one more vacation day.
