Job or Money? Would you quit your job if you didn't need the money? In a 1990 poll by the Gallop Organization, many people said quitting work was an important reason to be rich. Yet researchers find that work is one of life's chief satisfactions for people. Consider Berry Fowler. In 1979, Fowler started a tutoring company that became so successful he was able to sell out and retire in 1987—a multimillionaire at 40. He bought a 50-foot cabin cruiser and a house in Hawaii, and busied himself vacationing. But after five years of perpetual vacation, Flower began to miss the challenges of work. So in 1992, he bought a fitness chain for children and now spends 75 hours a week immersed in balance sheets and staff meetings. "My best days on the golf course weren't half as much fun as a good day at the office," he says. A job, studies show, is more than a paycheck. Doing something well can increase confidence and self-worth. When sociologist H. Ray Kaplan surveyed 139 lottery millionaires, he discovered 60 percent continued working at least a year after they'd won. If jobs are so important, wouldn't salary size be a gauge of job satisfaction? Americans think so. A survey, conducted last year by Roper Starch Worldwide, Inc., found that almost 70 percent of the respondents said they would be happier if their families had twice as much household income. Yet studies show that job satisfaction comes less from how much people earn than from the challenge of their jobs and the control they are able to exert. Work that doesn't engage a person will never seem rewarding, no matter how lucrative it becomes.1、 The Gallop poll shows many people want to be rich in order not to work.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned2、 Some researchers did another survey after the Gallop poll.D.RightE.WrongF.Not mentioned3、 Berry Fowler was no longer busy after he retired.G.RightH.WrongI.Not mentioned4、 According to Berry Fowler, his pastime wasn't as funny as working at office.J.RightK.WrongL.Not mentioned5、 Work is important in that it offers pay, increases confidence and self-worth.M.RightN.WrongO.Not mentioned6、 Studies show that job satisfaction comes mainly from people's income.P.RightQ.WrongR.Not mentioned7、 The Roper Starch Worldwide survey found that most Americans find jobs of higher pay more satisfying.S.RightT.WrongU.Not mentioned
