23、When Justin Tong was a child, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him doing lots of housework such as taking out the rubbish and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was better than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life.

This is the finding of a 40-year study than followed the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who worked hard in childhood had a richer and a happier future. “Children who worked in the home in childhood got more abilities and came to feel they were important members of society.” said Daniel Brown, the psychologist (心理学家)who made the study. “And because they felt good about themselves, and others felt good about them.”

Brown’s study followed these children in great information. They made the study about the children at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers compared (比较)the children’s mental-health scores with their childhood-activity scores. The children got more points for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.

Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and ability—the underpinnings (基础)of emotional (情感的) health. They also help him understand that people must work together and work toward common goals. The mast competent (合格的) adults are those who know how to do this.

Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live great in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”

【1】What do we know about Justin Tong?

A．He enjoyed a happy life.

B．He felt sorry for the other kids.

C．He always sold newspapers.

D．He hardly collected rubbish.

【2】Who will probably succeed in the future according to Paragraph 2?

A．Children who enjoy happier and richer lives.

B．Children who work in the home in childhood.

C．Children who take part in Daniel Brown’s study.

D．Children who feel good about people around them.

【3】How did Brown follow the children in his study?

A．By giving housework and praise.

B．By interviewing and giving scores.

C．By setting goals and showing love.

D．By solving problems and testing them.

【4】What’s the purpose of the passage?

A．To talk about an interesting study.

B．To introduce Justin Tong’s success.

C．To tell us about childhood activities.

D．To hope children to work hard.

【5】The passage is mainly about ________.

A．working is helpful for children’s growth

B．every child should help work at home

C．a child should do more and more work

D．working can help solve many problems
