savings of $20 billion on all federal(联邦的), state and private forested land(私有林地).

We Americans are so active in our leisure##we commonly complain we need a vacation from our vacations. We leave home##; we come back exhausted. That's why many of us have decided not to go. Americans are##a few vacation days (14 days, on average) compared with other developed countries, but ironically, we don't even use them. The average American will leave four vacation days on the table this year, which adds up to a total 574 million days of##vacation. Our relationship to relaxation seems contradictory.
