Scientists find that the hard-working people live longer than those who have no jobs. Studies show that the jobless are in poorer health than job-holders. The women have jobs are healthier than housewives. Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from feeling lonely. Researches show that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. The happiest people are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their jobs feel they are the happiest when they are working hard. They work as a bridge between their dream and reality, so they have energy every day. By work, people get to know each other. By taking part in all kinds of activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss(丧失) of work means the loss of everything. It makes people down and it will cause more illnesses. Besides, work makes one feel hopeful and proud. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are very happy. From the above, we can come to a conclusion: the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. （1）People who have no jobs are _ than job-holders. A . in poorer healthB . happierC . healthierD . busier（2）From this passage, we can learn _. A . people who are busy have a lot of moneyB . people who have more friends are the happiestC . people who are busy are the happiestD . people who are busy are the most worried（3）What is NOT true according to the passage? A . People who are hard-working live longer than those who are jobless.B . Work can make people feel tired and lonely.C . The loss of work will cause more illnesses.D . People can get to know each other by working together.（4）Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A . B . C .
