题目列表(包括答案和解析)
Laziness -- it is a word that brings with it judgment, sadness and disappointment．But laziness is a value that I think is extremely undervalued in our society, and laziness is a quality that is important to the entire structure of our culture．I encourage more people to strive toward laziness．For example, have you ever thought of the fact that most inventions may have been owed to laziness? It's simple to picture: Someone has to perform a task, but fears the long, boring process．He or she starts wondering if there is an easier way to get this baby fixed in a shorter time and with less effort．Next thing you know: an invention is born．A new, revolutionary design is developed．Conclusion: lazy people are creative．Inventors are so lazy that instead of doing things in the usual manner, they come up with a way to achieve the most by doing the minimum．
Think of it! What a wonderful thing to be lazy! At the very least think of all the cash you will save when you become lazy! First of all, because of your refusal to ever leave your home, you will save money on gas and parking, not to mention oil changes, new tires and other items of upkeep one who "uses" their car will have to deal with．Your chances of death by a car accident go down; in fact, I'd venture（冒昧） to say your chance of death will be lower, the longer you stay indoors; nothing from the outside world can hurt you! And since you probably won't slip in the shower （since you won't bathe often,） choking is your only concern!
1．What is the likely title for this passage?
A．Try not to be lazy any longer．
B．Maybe laziness isn't so bad after all．
C．What is laziness?
D．Laziness should not be encouraged．
2．In the author’s opinion, it is __________ that leads to many inventions．
A．hard work B．creativity C．laziness D．time and efforts
3．Lazy people are not willing to do things in the usual way; instead they will try to ___________．
A．give up everything B．get everything by doing nothing
C．leave everything undone D．find a way to gain the most by doing the least
4．Which of the following is not among the list of benefits from laziness?
A．Lazy people don’t bathe often
B．Lazy people can save money on gas and parking as a driver．
C．Lazy people can lower the chance of death in traffic accidents．
D．Many inventors may be born from laziness．
