After a busy morning at work, lunchtime gives me a chance to do many things, such as exercise, read or watch TV. One cultural difference I've noticed between Britain and China is what we do during lunchtime.

Here in China, workers have longer lunch breaks, which gives them enough time to take a short nap. So Chinese people usually use lunchtime to rest. I often see office workers rest their heads on their desks. The room turns into a quiet “bedroom”. Once, I even saw workers in a restaurant taking short naps as well. This is also very common for students in China. After lunch, they will go back to their dormitories (宿舍) or classrooms to take a nap. Chinese people believe a short nap at noon can help them feel more energetic in the afternoon.

In Britain, this activity is quite uncommon. British students usually have a one-hour lunch break. Instead of napping, they fill that time by playing 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.

Sports change with the season. People do not often play the same games in winter as in summer. Sailing is fun in warm weather, but when it gets cold, it's time to change to other sports. People talk about sports seasons. Baseball is only played for a few months of the year. This is called "baseball season".

Games and sports often grow out of (產(chǎn)生于)the working people. In Portugal(葡萄牙) many people work to catch fish. They fish from boats. Sometimes they use their boats for racing.

Arabians(阿拉伯人) are famous for their horses. They use horses to travel over huge plains(平原). Horseback riding is a very exciting sport in countries like Morocco(摩洛哥). When men ride horses at greet speeds, they often stand up.
