　　閱讀理解：

　　Everyone knows that laziness is not good. We have probably all had lectures telling that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never gain anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may not trust their fellow workers and they are unable to join in any group task for fear of being laughed at or for fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be affected by a fear of failure that prevents successful work. Some people are so busy planning great deals that they are unable to deal with “easier” work on hand. Still others are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are simply putting off their work.

　　Laziness, however, can actually be helpful. Some people may look lazy while they are really thinking, planning and researching. We should all remember that great scientific discoveries happened by chance. Newton wasn't working on the farm when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. All of us would like to have someone “l(fā)azy” build the car we buy, particularly if that “l(fā)aziness” were caused by the worker's taking time to check each step of his work and to do his job right. And sometimes, being “l(fā)azy”—that is, taking time off for a rest—is good for the overworked students or executives. Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the sportsman who is trying too hard or the doctor who is simply working himself overtime too many evenings in the hospital. So be careful when you want to call someone lazy. That person may be thinking, resting, or planning his or her next work.

　　[考點(diǎn)]推理判斷題

　　【精析】C 根據(jù)第二段最后兩句“So be careful when you want to call someone lazy. That person may be thinking, resting, or planning his or her next work.”可知，說(shuō)別人懶惰時(shí)要注意了，因?yàn)槟阏f(shuō)懶惰的那個(gè)人可能在思考、休息或在計(jì)劃自己的下一步工作。由此可推知，“懶惰”這一詞有時(shí)會(huì)被誤用，因?yàn)槲覀冋J(rèn)為“懶惰”的那個(gè)人可能在做別的重要事情。故選C。

? ? ? ? [考點(diǎn)]詞語(yǔ)理解題

? ? ? 【精析】C 根據(jù)第二段第四句“Newton wasn't working on the farm when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity.”并結(jié)合所學(xué)知識(shí)可知，牛頓在蘋(píng)果樹(shù)下發(fā)現(xiàn)了地球引力，并提出了萬(wàn)有引力定律。由此可知，devise意為“想出，發(fā)明”，C項(xiàng)created(創(chuàng)造)意義與之最為接近。understand:明白;write：寫(xiě);prove：證明。故選C。
