Passage 17

[語(yǔ)篇解讀]你對(duì)魔方著迷嗎？本文將告訴你魔方的來(lái)歷：1974年Emo Rubik老師為了幫助學(xué)生理解3D的概念而發(fā)明了魔方，沒(méi)想到它很快成為風(fēng)靡一時(shí)的玩具。如今，由于網(wǎng)絡(luò)它又重新受到人們的歡迎。

Passage 14(2014 訕尾,B)

A.信息歸納

    請(qǐng)仔細(xì)閱讀下面內(nèi)容，按信息卡中的項(xiàng)目要求填寫(xiě)信息。

    Scientists find that hardworking people live longer than common men and women. Career (職業(yè)) women are healthier than housewives. Evidence ( ilEffi ) shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the jobholders (就業(yè)者) .A study shows that whenever the unemployment rate (失業(yè)率) increases by 1 % , the death rate increases correspondingly (相應(yīng)地) 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.Researches show that people feel unhappy,worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead,the happiest are those who are busy. By working,people come into contact (接觸) with each other. By group activities,they find friendship and warmth.This is helpful to health.The loss of work means the loss of everything.lt affects a man’s spirit and makes him become ill.

    Besides,work give one a sense of fulfillment (充實(shí)感) and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value (價(jià)值) and status (地位) in society.For example,when a writer finishes his writing or a teacher sees his students grow,they are happy beyond words.

              Information Card

Hard-working people live longer than others； work is 1 to health.
