In some urban centers, workaholisrn is so common that people do not consider it unusual．They accept the lifestyle as normal．Government workers in Washington D． C．, for example, frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week． They do this because they have to; they do it because they want to．

Workaholism can be a serious problem． Because true workaholics would rather work than do anything else, they probably don't know how to relax; that is, they might not enjoy movies, sports, or other types of entertainment． Most of all, they hate to sit and do nothing． The lives of workaholics are usually stressful, and this tension and worry can cause health problems such as heart attacks or stomach ulcers． In addition, typical workaholics don't pay much attention to their families． They spend little time with their children, and their marriages may end in divorce．

Is workaholism always dangerous? Perhaps not． There are, certainly, people who work well under  stress． Some studies show that many workaholics have great energy and interest in life． Their work is so  pleasurable that they are actually very happy． For most workaholics, work and entertainment are the same thing． Their jobs provide them with a challenge; this keeps them busy and creative．

Why do workaholics enjoy their jobs so much? There are several advantages to work． It provides  people with paychecks, and this is important． But it offers more than financial security． It provides people with self-confidence; they have a feeling of satisfaction when they have produced a challenging piece of work and are able to say," I made that．" Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity; by working, they get a sense of self and individualism．In addition, most jobs provide people with a socially acceptable way to meet others．

31．A workaholic is a person who____．

       A． tends to work long hours

    B． behaves in a strange way

       C． has to do many social jobs

    D． holds high social positions

32．What can be the problem of workaholism?

       A． Being late．

       B． Being lazy．

       C． Being hopeless．

       D． Being unhealthy．

33．  According to some studies, most workaholics           .

       A． live a hard life

       B． like to be under stress

       C． regard work as something enjoyable

       D． are good at both work and entertainment

34．  What are the advantages one can get by working according to the text?

    a． popularity      b． satisfaction      c． good payment

    d． self-confidence  e． higher positions  f． social acceptation

       In spite of the instructions he had been given, Tommy did not hurry straight round to Mrs. Blakey’s house with the note. Reading the toy-shop window with its decorated Christmas tree, he could not tear himself away from it until he had spent ten minutes staring at the gift he most wanted: a gun that fired corks. Where the road began to run downhill to Mrs. Blakey’s house he met some of his friends who were throwing snowballs. He joined in the fight, and by the time it finished, another twenty minutes had gone by. Ten more minutes were lost looking for the note for Mrs. Blakey, which had somehow dropped from his pocket during the fight, When, with the help of his friends, his finally found it, it was not only very wet, but, to his horror, he found that part of it was torn way and missing. That meant a further search, but in vain. So it happened that, now looking very untidy, Tommy reached Mrs. Blakey’s house nearly an hour late and carrying a dirty piece of paper that contained only the words:

                             

for tea this afternoon

                         important to talk about

                        u. If it is inconvenient,

tell Tommy; otherwise,

ur house at four o’clock.

                             Yours sincerely,

                              Alice Hendry

       Mrs. Blakey was puzzled over the note for a while, then, imagining she knew what the missing words were, told Tommy to tell his mother it would be all right.

       Tommy returning home in much the same way as he had made the outward journey to Mrs. Blakey’s, arrived not long before four o’clock to find his mother very angry and already putting her hat on.

       “You naughty boy, where have you been?” she cried, and without waiting for an answer, “What did Mrs. Blakey say?”

       Tommy told her.

       “All right, you’d better come with me,” Mrs. Hendry said．And so once again Tommy found himself on the downhill road to Mrs. Blakey’s.

       At about the same moment that Mrs. Hendry and her son Tommy reached Mrs. Blakey’s door, Mrs. Blakey herself, having taken a different road, was waiting outside the Hendry’s home, wondering why there was no answer to her knock. Who could blame her for thinking that the torn note was an invitation to tea at the Hendry’s, instead of which Mrs. Hendry had in fact been asking herself out to tea with Mrs. Blakey?

1．In “he could not tear himself away from it” ‘it’ refers to________.

A．Mrs. Blakey’s house                              B．the message

C．the toy-shop window                            D．the road

2．Tommy’s mother told him_________

       A．to hurry straight round to Mrs. Blakey’s house with the note

       B  to play snowfight with the other kids

       C．to look at the toy-shop window

       D．to look for the note

3. Mrs. Blakey “told Tommy to tell his mother it would be all right” means_______.

       A．she didn’t mind the note being torn

       B．Mrs. Hendry’s request was inconvenient

       C．she thought she could accept Mrs. Hendry’s invitation

       D．she would find the missing words

4．Which of the statements is true according to the story?

       A．After taking the note to Mrs. Blakey, Tommy hurried straight home

       B．Tommy looked for the missing part of the note but could not find it

       C．Mrs. Blakey guessed correctly what the missing words were

       D．Mrs. Blakey expected to find Mrs. Hendry when she was going to her home at four o’clock
