If their offices are within the distance of half an hour's walk, some office workers now choose to go to work on foot. Ms. Wang, who became to work in a foreign company in Beijing 8 months ago, has been walking to her office for more than 6 months now. "I usually have a busy work schedule and can't find time to do exercise. So I choose to walk to work." As she said, if the office is not far from home, most women would like to go to work on foot. Walking is good for their health and can help them to keep in good shape as well.

Apart from walking to office, one can also find time to do exercise when one is at work. The simple way is to give up the lift and climb stairs. Mr. Yang who works in the Passenger Service Department at Beijing Airlines, is one of such men who often climb stairs to his office. "I only use the lift whenever I am with my colleagues or my boss. Otherwise, I would climb stairs instead of taking the lift."

In addition, some office workers try to find time to go to gym at the end of a day. Ms. Sunny works in a law firm. She goes to the gym several times a week when she has the time." I go to the gym every weekend. During the weekdays, I will also go there whenever I have the time." Ms Sunny and her husband both have a gym membership card for a whole year. The cards cost them a lot of money. However, they think it is worth it.

These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. "Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were useful members of society," said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理學家) who made the discovery. "And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them."

Valllant's study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men's mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were given for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.

The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with different kinds of people, 5 times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working-at any age-is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence-the underpinnings (基礎)of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, "One can live magnificently 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."

A care society where no intellectualizing is allowed？ It couldn't seem more un-French. But Lehanne's psychology care is about more than knowing oneself: it's trying to help the city's troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have been influenced by the changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast-food boom and a younger generation's desire to spend more time at home. Many new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.

The city's "psychology cafes", which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged housewives, retirees (退休人員), and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne's group just to learn to say what they feel. "There's a strong need in Paris for communication," says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. "People have few real friends. And they need to open up." Lehanne says she'd like to see psychology cafes all over France. "If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn't exist," she says. "If life weren't a battle, people wouldn't need a special place just to speak." But then, it wouldn't be France.

【1】What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?

A. Express their true feelings.B. Keep in touch with friends.

C. Show off their knowledge.D. Learn a new subject.

【2】What are the new theme cafes expected to do?

A. Create more jobs.B. Supply better drinks.

C. Serve the neighborhood.D. Save the cafe business.

【3】Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?

A. Because they bring people true friendship.

B. Because they offer a place for business links.

C. Because they help people realize their dreams.

D. Because they give people spiritual support.
