　　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 (心理學家) 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 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 (基礎) 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.”

　　46. What do we know about John?

　　A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.

　　B. He had few childhood playmates.

　　C. He received little love from his family.

　　D. He was envied by others in his childhood.

　　47. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _____.

　　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?

　　A. competent adults know more about love than work.

　　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.

　　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(疲憊) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has 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(按字母順序), 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 is more 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 (《大英百科全書》), 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. Relived, 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 provided 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

　　C. seek help

　　D. accept failure

　　52. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?

　　A. Writing essays in strict order.

　　B. Building up physical strength.

　　C. Leaving out the toughest ideas.

　　D. Dealing with the hardest task first.

　　53. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?

　　A. Before starting a difficult task.

　　B. When all the solutions fail.

　　C. If the job is rather boring.

　　D. After finding a way out.

　　54. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .

　　A. ignore mental problems

　　B. get some nice sleep

　　C. gain complete relief

　　D. find the right solution

　　55. What could be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Success Is Built upon Failure

　　B. How to Handle Performance Fatigue

　　C. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to Success

　　D. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems

　　I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.

　　My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土). Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language. I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along.

　　I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.

　　Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate.

　　Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting.
