Bicycle messengers make silly economic choices just to avoid the feeling of missing their daily target.On days when they are paid more commission per hour,they reach their target earnings quickly and knock off early. On days when pay is low they stay out much later.isn't this illogical?
What can you Infer from the passage?

  • They can get off early and enjoy life with sensible use of life's precious time they value their lives more than money.
  • Maybe the bicycle messengers know that no matter how hard they work they don't make a lot of money
  • They should stay out longer on days when business is good, and take time off on the slow days
  • All of the above
  • Maybe the time the bicyclists are free is more valuable to them than the pittance they earn in a dull job

If you strike a child, take care that you strike it in anger, even at the risk of maiming it for life. A blow in cold blood neither can nor should be forgiven. If you beat children for pleasure, avow your object frankly, and play the game according to the rules, as a foxhunter does; and you will do comparatively little harm. No foxhunter is such a cad as to pretend that he hunts the fox to teach it not to steal chickens, or that he suffers more acutely than the fox at the death.
