These are the findings of a 40-year study.Researchers followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston.The study showed that those who worked when they were young enjoyed happier and more successful lives than those who did not."Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (and came to feel they were useful members of society,"said George Vaillant, the psychologist(心理学家)who made the discovery.“And because they felt good about =hA119"" themselves,others felt good about them,too." Vaillant's study followed these males all these years.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 awarded for part-time jobs,housework,effort in school,and the ability to deal with problems. The link between what the men once did as young boys and how they turned out as adults was very sharp.Those who did the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with other people,five 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(社会和经济 made no real difference in how the boys turned out.

A.By comparing different sets of scores. B.By checking the men's mental health C.By recording the boy's effort in school. D.By testing the men's problem-solving ability. 48.The purpose of the passage is to tell us that A.IQ plays an important role in people's development B.social and economic class decides how our career goes C.only working at a young age is important to our adult life D.the ability of working with others towards goals is very important 五、六选四阅读（共4小题；每小题15分，满分6分） People have some useless or old things and they no longer want them.Yet it seems wasteful to throw them away.
