【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文介绍的是世界上四个不同的国家时间上的差别，加拿大有六个时区，所以东部和西部的时间相差很大。加拿大四点的时候，苏格兰已经是中午了，埃及是下午两点，而日本是晚上的九点了。文章中还告诉了我们不同地方的人们在这个时间都在做什么。

1.Friday is already the weekend in Egypt. 可知在埃及周五就是周末，所以不用上学，故选D。

2.In the west, it is four a.m., and everyone is asleep, but in the east it is half past eight 因为相差4个半小时，故选C。

3.In the west, it is four a.m., and everyone is asleep, but in the east it is half past eight and people are awake. It is twelve noon, or midday, in Edinburgh. Children are having lessons, 苏格兰的孩子正在上课，故选A。
