11、labored 72 hours a week. “sunup to sundown” was the farmers day, or as another phrase puts it, “from can to cant.”today, working less than a 40-hour week, people enjoy more leisure time. hence, the wise use of leisure time has bee an important problem for everyone, young or old. it is a particularly
12、 difficult problem for the sick, the aged, and those who have retired from earning a living. those people have so much leisure that it is hard for them to find interesting and worthwhile ways to use it . however short the work week bees, work is still the most important part of life. we do not work
