 After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.

Dear son,

  I was to thank you for teaching me a very    16    lesson in life by the great example you    17   . When we were eating at that café in Bondi and a person who had    18    his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without any    19   , you went over and put the    20    $ 2 into his hand.

  When we were leaving, you    21    threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said    22    like, “Some kid will really enjoy    23    this.”

  Last week, a young man    24    me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have    25    money to pay for his petrol. I asked money collector, “How much    26    is he?” she told me he had meant to put $ 15 of petrol in his car    27    he had been looking at the wrong gauge (計量表) and had put in 15    28   , which came to just over    29    . That is an easy mistake    30    both gauges run fast.

  Something made me think of you and    31    you did that night at the café in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so    32    and said, “but why would you do this for me?” I just smiled as I thought of you.

  Thank you, son, for teaching me that “it’s    33    to give than receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the    34    and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it    35    , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.

                                        Love always, Mum

Scientists find that hard，working people live longer than average men and women． Career（職業(yè)） women are healthier than housewives．Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the jobholders．An investigation （調(diào)查） shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1％, the death rate increases by 2％． All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health．

Why is work good for health？It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness and solitude （孤單）．Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do． Instead the happiest are those who are busy． Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard． Work serves as a bridge between man and reality． By work people come into contact with each other． By collective activity they find friendship and warmth． This is helpful to health． The loss of work means the loss of everything． It affects man spiritually and makes him ill．

Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement．Work makes one feel his value and status in society． When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words．

From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work  the happier and healthier you will be． Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life．
