To be really happy and really safe, one
ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real. It is no
use starting late in life to say: "I will take an interest in this or that."
Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire
great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet hardly get
any benefit or relief. It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like
what you do. Broadly speaking, human being may be divided into
three classes: those who are tired to death, those who are worded to death, and
those who are bored to death. It is no use offering the manual laborer, tired
out with a hard week's sweat and effort, the chance of playing a game of
football or baseball on Saturday afternoon. It is no use inviting the politician
or the professional or business man, who has been working or worrying about
serious things for six days, to work or worry about trifling things at the
weekend. It may also be said that rational, industrious, useful
human beings are divided into two classes: first, those whose work is work and
whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly, those whose work and pleasure are one.
Of these the former are the majority. They have their compensations. The long
hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the
means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and
most modest forms. But Fortune's favored children belong to the
second class. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are
never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays when they come
are viewed as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vacation. Yet to both
classes the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a
diversion of effort, is essential. Indeed, it may well be that those whose work
is their pleasure are those who most need the means of forgetting about their
work from time to time.

单选题It's Saturday night. Accountants and bank tellers are at school learning a new business skill. "Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey," they chant together, pulling their mouths into a grin at the end of each word. They're practising smiling. Instructors say it's the hardest part of the curriculum at Korean Air Service Academy, a school that aims to make South Korean business more globally competitive by teaching "international manners." "South Koreans have difficulty in smiling," said Y. D. Lee, the academy's general manager. "Our ancestors had the philosophy that the serious person — stern or strict — is better than the smiling one. That's why our students are chanting." The academy not only teaches service with a smile, but also proper greetings, Korean bowing, posture, the importance of a polite refusal and so on. And it's not just for business. Officials at the academy say their fastest-growing group of students comes from the government. That's partly because businesses have been tightening their belts during the economic crisis of the past two years and partly because citizens are demanding better treatment from the government. Tax collectors, prosecutors and others are being sent to school to polish their service manners. Then, citizens who have to show deference to rulers come to the school. "It's a symbol of a democratic conscience for a government official to express kindness and sincerity," said H. D. Cho, assistant general manager at the Korean Air School. Since the airline started the academy in late 1992, its competitor, Asiana Airlines, also started a course. Asiana Airlines travels the country to train people at their workplaces. Prices and length of courses vary, but a client would pay about US $1,600 to send 25 employees to an eight-hour course over two days at Korean Air. "Before, the main factor in competing was the product," said Lee. "Now our product, price and quality are on the same level, but the difference is service — the way of delivery, way of speaking, way of negotiating./
