Passage 4

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.

Everyone knows that laziness is not good. We have probably all bad 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 \

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 \we buy, particularly if that

\work and to do his job

right. And sometimes, being \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.
