①Work is helpful to health. Scientists find that the hard-working people live longer than those who have no jobs. Some studies tell us that the jobless are in poorer health than job-holders. The women who have jobs are healthier than housewives.
② ▲ It is because work keeps people busy, away from feeling lonely. Researches show that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. The happiest people are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their jobs feel they are the happiest when they are working hard. They work as a bridge between their dream and reality, so they have energy every day. By work, people get to know each other. By taking part in all kinds of activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It makes people down and it will cause more illnesses.
③Besides, work makes one feel hopeful and proud. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are very happy.
④From the above, we can come to a conclusion：the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be.

| There is one more-thing I have to mention—Xi'an is really a city full of delicious food! There I tasted biangbiang noodles, yangrou paomo, roujiamo, cold noodles, and so on. For me, yangrou paomo is the most delicious. |
Inventions are very important and they can easily change our life. The followings are some great inventions.
The television was invented in 1925. As time passed，more and more people were able to buy the television. It is a popular invention，but it is also bad for your eyes. People spend almost 4～8 hours in front of a TV while they spend less than 2 hours staying with their family. |
The plane was invented in 1903. It is a very popular way of going out either for travelling or business. Over 3，000，000 people take a plane every day. It is very convenient for us. And it makes our trip faster and more comfortable. But the biggest problem led by the planes is the air pollution. |
