单选题 .    Scientists find that hard working people live much longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that people without a steady job are in poorer health than jobholders.
    Why is work good for people's health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people may feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are often those who are busy with their work. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between men and the world around them. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful and beneficial to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects one in spirit and emotion and is inclined to make him ill.
    Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status 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 and they may have a feeling of endless satisfaction.
    From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study and live a happy and healthy life.1.  Why are housewives not as healthy as career women? ______
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[参考译文] 科学家发现,努力工作的人比普通的人活得更久。职业女性要比家庭主妇更健康。证据表明,没有固定工作的人比工作的人身体要差。
   为什么工作有益于人们的健康呢?因为工作使人忙于职场,而不会感到孤独。研究表明人们无事可做的时候往往会感觉到不开心,忧心忡忡和孤独。而最快乐的人往往是那些忙于工作的人。许多取得巨大成就的人非常喜爱自己的事业,当他们努力工作的时候他们感到最快乐。工作是连接人与他周围世界的桥梁。通过合作,他们能感受到友谊和温暖。这对健康是有益的。失去工作就意味着失去了切,这会影响人的精神和情绪,往往会导致疾病的发生。
   另外,工作使人有成就感和充实感。工作使人感受到在社会中的自我价值和地位。当作家完成创作或医生成功完成手术,又或者老师看到自己学生的成长,他们就会感到无以言表的喜悦并感到无比的满足。
   从上面的论述中,我们不难看出,越工作,就越开心、越健康。让我们努力工作、学习并健康快乐地生活吧
