　　The bar chart given above reflects the statistics of overtime hours among different kinds of professions. Self-employed businessmen spent nearly 2 hours per day in working overtime, ranking first. On the contrary, civil servants' additional working hours were the shortest, only less than 50 minutes per day. The overtime hours of scientific researchers, cultural and sports workers and teachers ranged from 80 minutes to less than 50 minutes.

　　The bar chart informs us of the phenomenon that there exist some obvious differences in overtime hours among diverse careers, especially between self- employed businessmen and civil servants. Ample reasons can account for this phenomenon: firstly, to make more profits, businessmen have to spend more time in manufacturing products, attracting customers and managing employees. Moreover, with the competition becoming increasingly fierce, they have no alternative but to work overtime to avoid being eliminated by the market and their rivals. When it comes to civil servants, those are not the same things at all. Facing less risks and pressures and leading a steady and routine life, they don't have to work overtime frequently.

　　Working overtime is a two-bladed sword. Surely, it will generate considerable economic gains. However, it will give rise to some damages. Every one of us should balance our work, life and health. Otherwise we will eventually become a machine and slave of work. (222 words)

　　【参考译文】

　　如上柱状图反映了不同种类工作的加班时间数据。个体户平均每天花 2 个小时加班，排名第一。相 反，公务员的加班时间是最短的，每天只有不到 50 分钟。科研人员、文体工作者和教师的加班时间从 80 到 50 分钟每天不等。

　　这幅图告诉我们一个现象，在不同职业之间，加班时间存在一些差异，尤其是在个体户和公务员之间 差异明显。很多理由可以解释这个现象：首先，为了赚取更多地利润，个体户不得不花费更多地时间在制 造产品、吸引和留住顾客以及管理员工上。再者，随着竞争的加剧，他们别无选择，只能通过加班工作来 避免被市场和其他竞争者淘汰。至于公务员，情况就不一样了。他们不需要经常加班工作，面对更少的风 险和压力，过着稳定和常规的生活，。

　　加班工作是一把双刃剑。很明确的是，这会带来可观的利润。然而，这也会带来一些危害。我们应该 平衡工作、生活和健康。否则，我们最终只会成为工作的机器和奴隶。
