AWould 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 W.Berry Fowler.In 1979,Fowler started a tutoring company
that became so successful he was able to sell out retire in 1988一a
multimillionaire at 40. He bought a 50-foot cabin cruiser（可住宿的游艇）a house in
Hawaii,busied himself vacationing.But after five years of perpetual
vacation, Fowler began to miss the challenges of work.So in 1992,he bought a
fitness chain for children now spends 75 hours a week immersed in balance
sheets 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（薪水支票）.Doing something well can increase confidence self-worth.When
sociologist H.Ray Kaplan surveyed 139 lottery（彩票）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（标准尺）of job satisfaction?Americans
think so.A survey conducted last year by Roper Starch WorldwideInc.,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 the control they are able to exert.Work that doesn’t engage a
person will never seem rewarding,no matter how lucrative（有利可图的）it becomes.A 1990 Gallop shows that many people quit
work in order to be rich.aTruebFalsecNot Given

参考答案
试题答案：
A
答案解释：
根据1990和Gallop可以很容易定位在第一段的第二句话In a 1990 poll by the Gallop Organization,many people said quitting work was an important reason to be rich.该句意为“Gallop组织在1990年进行的民意测评表明，很多人说辞掉工作是变得富有的一个重要原因”，与题干所表明的含义“很多人辞掉工作的目的是为了致富”是一致的。
