     True to their reputation as leisure-loving gourmets(美食家),the French spend more time
sleeping and eating than anyone else among the world's wealthy nations,according to a study
published on Monday.
     The average French person sleeps almost nine hours every night,more than an hour longer
than Japanese and Korean,who sleep the least in a survey of 18 members of the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).Despite their siesta(午睡)habit,Spaniards
rank only third in the poll after Americans,who sleep more than 8.5 hours.
     And while more and more French people grab a bite at fast-food chains these days or,wolf
down a sandwich at their desk,they still spend more than two hour's a day eating.
     That means their meals are twice as long as those of the average Mexican,who dedicates just
over an hour a day to food,the OECD's "Society at a Glance" report on work,health and leisure
in Asia,Europe and North and South America found. The Japanese,scrimping (吝嗇) on sleep
and burdened with long working hours,still manage to spend close to two hours a day eating and
drinking,placing them third behind New Zealanders.  
     Despite the limited amount of time Americans spend eating each day-about an hour and a
quarter-U.S. obesity肥胖) rates are the highest in the 30 members of OECD.
     The Japanese like to spend what remains of their rare free time watching television or listening
to the radio. This takes up 47 percent of leisure time in Japan. Norwegians spend the most time at
leisure,just over a quarter of their day,while at the low end,Mexicans spend just 16 percent of their
time having fun.  
     The OECD has 30 members. The survey covers only the countries for which appropriate figures
were available.

  If you dream of going somewhere warm to escape the cold winter weather, a trip to a recently discovered planet would certainly warm you right up. The planet, named OGLE-TR-566, has temperatures of more than F. “This is the hottest planet we know about. ” says Dr. Dimitar Sasselov, a scientist who led the discovery team. “It is hot enough to have an iron fog and to rain hot iron droplets (細(xì)沫) . ”

  The new planet is 30 times farther away than any planet discovered by scientists before. It is in the Milky Way (銀河) but it's not in our solar (太陽的) .The new planet moves around a star much like our sun , however. Scientists discovered the planet by using a new planet-searching method, called “ transit technique. ” They were able to catch sight of the planet when it moved in front of its star, causing the star's light to dim(變暗) . Scientists compare the method to discovering the shadow of a bee flying in front of a searchlight 200 miles away. “We believe the door has been opened wide to go and discover planets like Earth.”says Sasselov.
