lived with his wife, psychiatrist(
精
神病医生
) ---
author
Janet Jeppson. “I travel in my writing to the far
ends of space,” he would say, “so I don’t have to
travel in real
life.” Even if invited,
he wouldn’t want to go.
But
he happily supported the space movement, serving
on the NSS Board of Governors
(
理事会
).
Asimov, a
workaholic who said he wanted to end his days
“face down on my typewriter,” spent
eight hours a day, seven days a
week
typing.

born
son
of
American
immigrants,
Asimov
(1920―1992)
began

science
fiction
at

11.

story
appeared in print when

Passage
2
Is your job doing harm to
your health If you are like a lot of American
workers today, you experience a significant amount
of stress
in
work.
Stress
doesn't
just
make
you
unhappy
at
work.
It
can
affect
your
health.
Doctors
say
people
under
stress
have
higher
blood
pressure, even when they are away from
work. And they are at a higher risk for death from
any cause than those who are more relaxed.
How do you know if your job could be a
risk to your health Some danger signs include
difficulty getting to sleep or difficulty waking
up in the morning, forgetfulness, aches
and pains for no apparent reason, a desire to eat
less or tendency to eat poorly, loss of interest
in
activities, etc. Everyone has bad
days in which they feel many of these symptoms,
but if you have noticed several of them, and you
have
experienced them for months, you
may need to do something.
If you notice
these signs in yourself or your beloved one, check
with your doctor to eliminate other possibilities.
If the cause does
appear to be stress,
you should try to make time for yourself away from
work. Try relaxing in a warm bubble bath,
listening to music, and
shutting out
the world for a while.

another less stressful job.

Passage 3
In the United States, it is not normal
to telephone someone very early in the morning. If
you telephone him early in the day, while
he is shaving or having breakfast, the
time of the call shows that the matter is very
important and requires immediate attention. The
same
meaning is attached to telephone
calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a
call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a
matter of
life and death. The time
chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life, time plays a very
important role. In the US guests tend to feel they
are not highly regarded if the invitation to a
dinner
