SECTION 4 READING Task 1 Read the passage and choose the correct answers. /6x2=12points/ (1) When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him because his parents always made him weed the garden, carry out the garbage and deliver newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage, and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier. (2) The findings of a 40-year study that observed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston showed that those who had worked during their boyhood enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained more competence and came to feel themselves as worthwhile members of society”, said George Vaillant, the psychologist who made the discovery. As he also said, “Because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them as well.” (3) Vaillant’s study observed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at the ages of 25,31 and 47. Under Vaillant’s supervision, the researchers compared the men’s mental health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for their part-time jobs, housework, school efforts, and ability to deal with problems. (4) The link between the scores of men’s boyhood and adulthood activities 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, family, a social and economic status made no real difference in how the boys turned out to be adults. (5) Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help children develop their abilities to be responsible, independent, confident and competent—the underpinnings of emotional health. They also help them understand the importance of cooperative work toward common goals. The most confident 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 he/she knows how to work and love, and how to work for the person one loves and love one’s work.” 39. What do we know about John? A. He had few childhood playmates. B. He received little love from his family. C. He enjoyed his career and marriage. D. He was envied by others in his childhood. E. He felt sorry for his childhood. 40.

Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by___________. A. recording the boys’ effort in school B. evaluating the men’s mental health C. measuring the men’s problem-solving ability D. meeting the teenage boys’ parents E. comparing different sets of scores 42. The word “sharp” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to A. quick to react B. having a thin edge C. sudden and rapid D. easy to cut E. clear and definite 43. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Competent adults know more about love than work. B. Love brings more joy to people than work does. C. Emotional health is essential to wonderful adult life. D. Independence is the key to one’s success. E. Confident adults know more about work than love. 44.
