1. Read the following passage carefully: We sometimes think that it would be very nice to have no work to do. How we envy rich people who do not have to work for their living but can do just what they please all the year round. Yet when we feel like this, we make a mistake. Sometimes rich people are not as happy as we think they are, because they are tired of having nothing to do. Most of us are happy when we have regular work to do for our living, especially if the work is what we like to do. The first thing work does for us is to give us happiness. He is like a beggar in the streets who takes the money of others who work hard to earn it. Such people do not live independently and ought to feel ashamed of them. But the honest worker who earns his living by useful toil can hold up his head and respect himself. Lastly regular work builds up character. It teaches us such good habits as punctuality, carefulness, thoroughness and faithfulness in work. It is the man who works, not the idler, who as a rule develops the best character. On the basis of your reading, answer the following questions: 1. Why do we envy rich people? 2. Why are rich people not so happy as we think? 3. What does regular work give us? 4. What kinds of people have been compared to beggars? 5. How can an honest man earn respect in society? 6. Write the word from the passage which means 'hard unpleasant ‘work'.
