Passage 1

    Why people work？ Undoubtedly you have periodically asked yourself the same question， perhaps focused on why you have to work。“Selfinterest”in its broadest sense,including the interests of family and friends，is a basic motivation for work in all societies.But selfinterest can involve more than providing for subsistence or accumulating wealth.For instance,among the Maori,a Polynesian people of the South Pacific，a desire for approval，a sense of duty，a wish to conform to custom and tradition, a feeling of emulation(竞争〉,and a pleasure in craftsmanship are additional reasons for working。Even within the United States，we cannot understand work as simply a response to economic necessity。Studies show that the vast majority of Americans would continue to work even if they inherited enough money to live comfortably.
    When people work，they gain a contributing place in society. The fact that what they receive pay for their work indicates that what they do is needed by other people and that what they are a necessary part of the social fabric.Work is also a major social mechanism for placing people in the larger social structure and for providing them with identities。In the United States，it is a blunt and ruthlessly public fact that to do nothing is to be nothing and to do little is to be little。Work is commonly seen as the measure of an individual.
    Sociologist Melvin L. Kohn and his associates have shown some of the ways work affects our lives。Generally,people who engage in selfdirected work come to value selfdirection more highly,to be more open to new ideas and to be less authoritarian in their relationships with others.Moreover,they develop selfconceptions consistent with these values,and as parents they pass these characteristics on to their children。 Our work，then，is an important socializing experience that influences who and what we are.wt6qbkCyDE

Passage 2

    Perhaps most puzzling than purring is the cat’s ability to survive falls。 A research shed light on this ability in 1987。 The cat’s habit of falling out of open windows provided the researchers with an opportunity to study 115 cats that had fallen from highrise apartments in New York City。The average fall was 5.5 stories.Of the 115 cats studied,90 percent survived， including one cat that fell 32 stories onto a sidewalk and suffered only mild chest injury and a chipped tooth.Interestingly,cats that fell from 9 or more stories suffered fewer injuries than those falling from lower heights.Among cats that fell from 9 to 32 stories， only 5 percent suffered fatal injuries，but 10 percent of those that fell from 7 or fewer stories died.
    How do cats manage to take falling so easily？For one thing， in comparison to human beings，a cat is much smaller and lighter。 Also,a cat has more body surface area in proportion to its weight than a human being has。This increase in surface area results in greater air resistance,which slows the fall。The important thing,however， is that a falling cat apparently positions itself to form a sort of parachute(降落伞>.Less than one second after it starts to fall， a cat quickly rights itself in midair with all four legs pointing downward。 The cat’s inner ears act like an internal gyroscope, telling the
