Ⅰ. 阅读理解
When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the rubbish and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better-off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction and a better marriage, and he 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. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not.
The study followed these males in great detail. After initial interviews, they were re-interviewed at ages 25, 31 and 47. The researchers compared the men's mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, household chores, effort at school, and the 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 social and economic class made no real difference to how the boys turned out.
Working — at any age — is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence — the basis of emotional health. They also help understand that people must cooperate and work towards common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Leo 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.”
