(1) Look at these two pie graphs.

(3) The one on the top shows how Emma divides up her days.

As Emma's graph shows, the biggest portion of her day is spent working.
She works an average of 8 hours a day, which is one third of her day.
She gets an average of 6 hours of sleep, which is 25% of her day.
That's less sleep than Martin gets.
译文：正如Emma的图表所示，她一天中大部分时间都花在了工作上。她平均每天工作8小时，占她一天的三分之一。她平均睡眠6小时，占一天的25%，比马丁睡得少。
According to his graph, he gets an average of 7 hours of sleep, which is about 29% of his day.
On the other hand, Martin, who is an engineer, works more hours than Emma does.
Martin averages 9 hours a day at work, compared to Emma's 8.
That's 37.5% compared to 33%.
Other factors shown in the graphs include time for meals and commuting to work.
译文：根据他的图表，他平均睡7小时，占他一天的29%。另一方面，身为工程师的马丁，工作时间比艾玛长。跟艾玛的8小时相比，马丁平均每天工作9小时，那是37.5%和33%相比。图表中显示的其他因素包括用餐时间和上下班的通勤时间。
Exercise:
1. What percent of the day is Emma's sleep?
25%.
2. As Emma's graph shows, the biggest portion of her day is spent working.
Other activities include getting dressed and household chores, such as doing laundry and paying bills.
As you can see, for Martin, commuting is taking a large amount of his time.
If he could reduce his commute time, he would have more time for other things.
And it isn't just the time.
When the traffic is really heavy, his commute is stressful.
It would be great if he could work from home one or two days a week.
His life would be more enjoyable.
译文：其他活动包括穿衣服和做家务，如洗衣服和付账单。正如你所见，对于马丁来说，上下班花费了他大量的时间。如果他能减少上下班的时间，他就会有更多的时间做其他事情。这不仅仅是时间的问题。当交通拥挤时，他的通勤压力很大。如果他能一周在家工作一两天就太好了。他的生活将会更愉快。

On the other hand, socializing with her friends is something she really values.
As for putting on make up, she isn't willing to change that.
For her, exercising, socializing and staying beautiful help her deal with the stress of work.
In conclusion, Emma and Martin both wish that there were more hours in the day.
译文：看看艾玛的图表，我们发现她可能需要更多的睡眠。也许她应该少花点时间和朋友们交往。另一方面，与朋友交往是她真正看重的。至于化妆，她不愿意改变。对她来说，锻炼、社交和保持美丽有助于她应对工作压力。最后，艾玛和马丁都希望每天有更多的时间。
