The citizens of France are once again taking a pasting on the op-ed pages. Their failing this time is not that they are cheese-eating surrender monkeys, as they were thought to be during the invasion of Iraq, but rather that they voted to reject the new European Union constitution. According to the pundits, this was the timid, shortsighted choice of u backward-looking people afraid to face the globalized future. But another way of looking at it is that the French were simply trying to hold on to their perks—their cradle-to-grave welfare state and, above all, their cherished 35-hour workweek.
What’s so bad about that There was a time when the 35-hour workweek was the envy of the world, and especially of Americans, who used to travel to France just so they could watch the French relax. Some people even moved to France, bought farmhouses, adjusted their own internal clocks and wrote admiring, best-selling books
A. French people are leisurely people.
B. French people are now working 35 hours a week.
C. They world is getting busier.
D. In the near future, people will work much less in a week.

There are a number of facets to any emotional experience. If you have ever experienced extreme fear, you will recognize that subjective feelings are one part of any emotional experience.
Subjective feelings can be classified in terms of intensity, pleasantness or unpleasantness, and complexity. For example, joy is a simple, pleasant, and intense emotion. Jealousy is a complex, unpleasant emotion that may vary in intensity. Unfortunately, it is difficult to go beyond simple classification of subjective feelings because they are extremely difficult to describe. In one rather bizarre study, women were required to crash snails between their fingers and to describe their emotional reactions. The best they could do was to name their emotions. The second part of any emotional experience consists of emotional expressions. Emotional e
A. different parts of emotional experience

The romantic image of the trusty postman, delivering letters to the farthest-flung corners of the land, makes the reform of postal services a sensitive subject. This is especially true when the impetus for reform comes from the European Union. This month the European Parliament starts work on a directive, drawn up by the European Commission, to remove the last monopolies in postal markets by 2009--the final stage in a slow and laborious liberalisation that began in 1992. Directives in 1997 and 2002 chipped away at the centuries-old monopolies enjoyed by national operators, and the proposed new law will open the whole market to competition by abolishing the "reserved area" on mail weighing less than 50 grams. But although the legislative wheels are in motion, some countries are as sceptical as ever.
The
A. appealed,
B. repealed.
C. aggravated.
D. consolidated.
