【阅读理解①】

When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him

weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached

adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better

marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier.Far happier.

These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from

Boston.The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more

productive lives than those who had not.“Boys who worked in the home or community gained

competence( 能力 )and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,”said George

Vaillant,the psychologist(心理学家)who made the discovery.“And because they felt good about

themselves,others felt good about them.”

Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail.Interviews were repeated at ages 25,31

and 47.Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their

boyhood-activity scores.Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and

ability to deal with problems.

The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was

surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have

warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less

likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and

economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.

Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility,

independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings( 基础 )of emotional health.They

also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals.The most

competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once

said,“One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love,to work

for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”

A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.

A. a description of personal values and social values

B. an analysis of how work was related to competence

C. an example for parents’expectations of their children

D. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men

48. Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by　　　　　.

A. recording the boys’effort in school

B. evaluating the men’s mental health

C. comparing different sets of scores

D. measuring the men’s problem solving ability

49. What does the underlined word“sharp”probably mean in Paragraph 4?

A. Quick to react.

B. Having a thin edge.

C. Clear and definite.

D. Sudden and rapid.

50. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.

C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.

D. Independence is the key to one’s success.

【阅读理解②】

Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more

tiring than not succeeding.

We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫)and performance fatigue.

In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult. And

the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.

Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles

and bones.The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most

difficult job first.

Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous

authors.Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order( 按字母顺序),

never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult

task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.

Performance fatigue ismore difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem

to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and

again. In such a situation,I work as hard as I can—then let the unconscious take over.

When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica ( 《大英百科全书》),I had to create a table of

contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before,and day

after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost

unbearable.

One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be

solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me.

Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.

An hour later,I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that

followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step.

Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue.Success was now as exciting as failure had

been depressing.

Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.

51. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to　　　.

A. delay tasks B. work hard
