长时间高强度的工作可能让人觉得疲惫,但是你知道适量工作其实是有利于我们的身体健康的吗? 阅读下面的短文,让我们一起来了解一下吧!
Scientists find that hard-working people can live longer than idle(不工作的) people. Career (职业) women are healthier than housewives. Evidence(证据) shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holder. A report shows that whenever the unemployment rate(失业率) increases(增长) by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point—work is helpful to health.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy and away from loneliness. That's also why career women are healthier and happier than housewives. Researches show that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact(联系) with each other. If people take part in some activities, they can find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man in spirit and makes him easy to get ill.
Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment(充实感). Work makes one feel his value in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.
From the above we can know that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life.
