One cultural difference I've noticed between Britain and China is what we do at lunchtime. Here in China, workers have longer lunch breaks, which gives them enough time to take a short nap（午睡）.Chinese people usually use lunchtime to rest. After lunch, students in China will go back to their classrooms to take a nap. Chinese people believe a short nap at noon can help them feel more energetic（精力充沛的）in the afternoon.    In Britain, British students usua1ly have a one-hour lunch break. They play sports or talking with friends. Most workers in Britain don't get the chance to nap. They generally have short lunch breaks ---between 30 minutes to an hour. There is not enough time to have a nap. Because of the shortness of their lunch breaks, it is common for people to work through lunch or just finish their lunch at their desk.How long can British students take a rest at lunchtime? (1分) __________________________________________________________________                   What do Chinese people think of taking a nap at noon?
