One of the best-known proverbs must be "early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." The promises of health, wealth, and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retires and risers must be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modern man is his health. It is estimated that in the United States $ 200 billion are spent on health care each year. The medical field has grown into such a big business that it employs 4.8 million people, and it appears that in many places, more staff is needed to meet the demands of the people who are concerned about their physical well-being.
Much more interest has been shown in preventive medicine in recent years. This is probably due in part to the increasing costs of medical treatment, but the writings of such people as Dr. Keneth Cooper have also played an important role. In his book Aerobics. Dr. Cooper communicated his message of the benefits of exercise so effectively that many other authors have flowed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on their sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survey showed that over 17 million people are jogging. Many of these are so serious that they have trained themselves to run the 26 miles and 385 yards of the hard and tiring marathons that are sponsored all over the country. The last time I was in Honolulu, I was amazed to see hundreds of people, young and old, running for their lives, and I discovered many of them have run in the Hawaiian Marathon.
Exercise has also become a major part of conversation. A1 a dinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, "You look like a runner; how far do you run each day?" A few days later when I appeared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On both occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found, as I have found whenever I have traveled recently, that this is a subject on many people's minds. Of course, there are still many people who are less than enthusiastic about exercise. They appreciate the philosophy of Robert M. Hutchins who said, "Whenever the thought of exercise occurs to me, I lie down till it passes."
The first paragraph indicated that medical workers ______.
A.are in great demand?
B.make a lot of money
C.are concerned with their own health
D.like sports more than ordinary people

A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders.Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all.What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time.Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life.In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs.In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.
In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do.Often, that is another cause of the gap between them.Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations.In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date.The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.

A、do not need to find jobs
B、leave home at an early age
C、have better education than their parents
D、marry people younger than them

It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure what tax ought to be paid to the government because it depends on so many different things: whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relations; how much he earns; how much interest he receives; how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on and so forth.All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is.
There was a certain artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount.
One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, he decided that he had not.He believed that he owed the government something.
He was just writing another check to send to the tax-collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door.Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax-collector.The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer.
