     A survey was conducted in Shanghai where interviewees were asked if they wanted to be a factory worker. One percent of all peo ple interviewed said: "YES," Wang Hongjun, a technician, said, rai sing his voice for
impressive effect." But I can tell you, only a small part of that I percent are telling the truth."
     I've met colorful people like Wang all over China. They are cynical (玩世不恭的 ) yet warmhearted, plain
spoken but smart. And many of them are confined (局限于) to work in factories.
     Wang is a top technician but also represents manual factory workers, who are China's most important
natural resource. Their en- ergy is powering China's economic boom, and their muscle is turning the wheel of
the world's factory.
     But does their unskilled labor give their life meaning? At school, did they tell their friends:" When I grow up
I want to work in a factory making socks?" Did you?
     Factory work has always been a stepping-stone from farm life to the city and a modern life. It's been
happening for centuries, but today, with our space-age technology, it's outdated. Earning 1,200 yuan,( $169)
per month working in a factory is better than that on a farm, but as Wang points out, it's not a dream career.
There should be better ways to earn your rice.
     Many modern factories no longer have production line workers. Robots do the assembly (装配). People
just do the monitoring. In this age of technology, in which China is now working smarter and not just harder,
why are people still standing in production lines?
     But life is cheap in China. So why not continue to make use of the low-cost labor situation and keep the
economy growing fast, some entrepreneurs may ask.
      But have these businessmen ever labored in a factory?
1. How many people surveyed really like to be factory workers?
A. One percent.
B. Only a small part.
C. Only a small part of that one percent.
D. The writer didn't mention it.
2. Which is NOT the writer's opinion of factory workers?
A. Cynical.
B. Unimportant.
C. Warmhearted.
D. Plain spoken.
3. The writer uses _____ to begin the passage.
A. a lot of figures
B. many examples
C. some dialogue
D. the result of a survey

     Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised, "Barbara, be enthusiastic (热情
的)! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were! 
     "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that
helps you hang on there, then the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" When
others shout, "No, you can't!" It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist
who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted, yet she didn't stop working on her
experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.
     We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic
people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, Cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach.
     As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear
in his eyes. An author and poet Samuel Ulman once wrote, "Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm
wrinkles the soul."
     Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. Patricia Mellrath, retired
director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She
replied, "My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, 'I never made a dime until I stopped working for money.'"
     If we can't do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan,
was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that had troubled her for at least
30 years,and the quality of her work led one critic to say, "I am tempted to call Layton a genius."
     We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be". We need to live each moment whole-
heartedly, with all our senses-finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the sim- ple picture
of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow.
