　　近期的一项调查表明，加班已经成为白领的常态，超过60%的员工在工作日有加班，40%的员工在周末也要加班。

　　工作日加班员工最多的地区分别是广东、北京和浙江。

　　不过，加班现象也仅在房地产、互联网和金融等行业较为普遍。

　　【讲解】

　　文中的work extra time就是“加班”的意思，也可以表达为working overtime，其中extra作形容词，意为“额外的，附加的”，无比较级和最高级，如：The ship was loaded down with extra cargo.(船上又额外加装了货物。)

　　最后一句中的prevalent是形容词，意为“普遍的，流行的”，如：Smoking is becoming increasingly prevalent among younger women.(抽烟在年轻女性中变得越来越常见。)
