At the beginning of this century, almost everybody believed in work. But by the end of this century, e might be thinking quite differently. Today, people are divided into social classes in accordance with the types of work they do; tomorrow, t is more than likely we will be divided according to the types of games we play.
This change in the use of our time may give rise to a now profession called" fun specialists," who will fill the same functions as our current career specialists. They will show us how to get the most fun and enjoyment out of our leisure time. Someday people will no longer be known primarily by the work they do.

Everyone has creative ability to some extent. Creative thinking involves posing oneself a problem and then finding a solution along new and unconventional lines. It involves drawing new comparisons, discovering new combinations, and/or new applications of things that are already known.
It follows, then, that a creative person will exhibit great intellectual curiosity and imagination. He will be alert and observant with a great store of information which he will be able to sort out and combine, in the solution of problems. He will be emotionally receptive(善于接受的)to new and unconventional ideas and will be less interested in facts than in their implications. Most important of all, he will be able to communicate freely and will not be too concerned about other people's reaction to his apparently "crazy" ideas. People called the Wright brothers mad but it did not stop them from becoming the first men to construct and fly a heavier-than-air craft.
According to the passage, it is generally believed that ______.
A．only Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, and Pablo Picasso are creative
B．only successful people are creative
C．only a few people are creative
D．everyone can be creative

In the past, it was believed that depression(抑郁症) was more prevalent among the poorer and less educated people, but that is not the case. The truth is, depression can afflict people from all walks of life, and often it hits the most ambitious, creative and conscientious. It is wrong to think that people on the corporate position of the social ladder are not prone(易于......的) to this disease. In fact, executives and professionals who are burdened with mounting pressures in their work may obsessed with all these pressures and become depressed. The suicide of Vincent Foster, a noted American lawyer and White House official is a case in point. Despite the honor of his position, which many people thought admirable, he felt overburdened with pressures and decided to take the easy way out.
Studies show that people born later in this century have experienced much more depression than those born earlier. In fact the rate of depression over the last two generations has increased tenfold. Experts theorize that it could be due to the fact that the younger generations have higher expectations from life and are therefore more likely to suffer from failure, disappointment and hence, depression.
Depression is easily recognizable. The depressed person feels sad or down in the dumps, and loses interest in even the most pleasurable activities. Moreover, he suffers from either significant gain or loss of weight, sleeplessness or over sleeping, sluggish movement and thinking, fatigue, feelings of guilt and worthlessness, impaired concentration and forgetfulness, and in extreme cases, the afflicted person may have suicidal tendencies. It is often believed that depression runs in the family, but this is not conclusively so, since there are eases where depressed persons do not have a history of depression in their families. Depression is often work-related although at times it has its roots in family relations.
People who suffer from depression need not stay in the closet, since it is not a sin or a shame to be depressed. A prompt visit to a psychologist means prompt treatment and hence prompt recovery. Experts guarantee that depression is easily treatable, and in nip-in-the-bud eases, the patient fully recovers in a few days, thanks to the variety of effective treatment available.
According to the author, depression ______.
A．affects the poor and poor educated people more than the rich and successful ones
B．seldom attacks executives
C．is not limited to any particular class of people
D．is caused by one's ambition

Rattlers come in a variety of sizes—from about two feet in length to over six feet. At the end of the rattler' s tail it is a set of rings. These make up the rattle. When the snake is alarmed, the tail shakes, causing a warning noise to be transmitted a considerable distance.
Rattlers may be found in nearly all states and in some Canadian provinces. However, most of them arc more at home in dry places, such as the western United States and Mexico. Rocky, isolated areas are favorite places for rattlers to lodge. They may be seen mornings and evenings sunning on rocky ledges. In the heat of the day they seek out a shelter from the sun under rocks or in holes.
The rattlesnake is in some ways a friend to humans. This statement contradicts some common views of these creatures. The harmful poisonous fluid released in a rattler' s bite kills small animals—and may kill or cause sickness in people. However, rattlers are competitors with owls and hawks for mice and rats. Many of these pests have been the losers in a clash with a rattlesnake in its quest for food. Thus the rattler helps control the numbers of mice and rats.
How can you avoid a rattlesnake bite.'？ A few principles have been given by experienced people of the outdoors. First, do not run through high grass in rattlesnake country. You might surprise a snake that is otherwise minding its own business. A slow walk insures ample time for the snake to slide away or proclaim its presence.
Although these snakes are very mobile, they will not chase you. If you hear a rattle, back up and walk away slowly. Do not run ! The snake may have a friend or relative in the area who would resent being stepped on as you dash away.
Second, consider your wearing apparel, particularly footwear. Snake fangs have occasionally pierced thick, western boots. However, such footwear offers much more protection than the usual shoes.
Finally, when chimbing, look before you reach or step. Rattlers like to lie on rocky ledges. Although you intended to grab a rock rather than a rattler, the surprised snake may not understand.
Years ago, people usually believed that ______.
A．rattlesnakes had a magic power
B．It was impossible for rattlesnakes to hold human beings under a spell
C．rattlesnakes would never attack human beings even if they were provoked
D．rattlesnakes would attack human beings even with no provocation
