Laziness is a sin, everyone knows that. We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life. But laziness can be harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons than simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of ridicule or fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be paralyzed by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of fantasies may prevent work: some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning great deals of fantastic achievements that they are unable to deal with; strictly speaking, they are merely procrastinating--rescheduling their day.
Laziness can actually be helpful. Like procrastinators, some people may look lazy when they are really thinking, planning, contemplating, researching. We should remember that some great scientific discoveries occurred by chance or while someone was "goofing off." Newton wasn’t working in the orchard when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. All of us would like to have some "lazy" build the car or stove we buy, particularly if that "laziness" were caused by the worker’s taking time to check each step of his work and to do his job right. And sometimes, being "lazy"--that is, taking time off for a rest--is good for the overworked student or executive. Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the athlete who is trying too hard, to doctor who’s simply working himself overtime too many evenings, at the clinic. So be careful when you’re tempted to call omeone lazy. That person may be thinking, resting, or planning his or her next book.
What do you think of the final paragraph?

his humorous/creative/original
解析
这个问题涉及到读者对于文章的印象,需结合所谈内容的角度加以回答。文章最后一段认为Laziness can actually be helpful,这本身就是一个非常有创意的说法,随后而来的例子更是展示了作者看待问题的特殊视角Newton wasn’t working in the orchard when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravtty,由此可见作者具有创造性和幽默性。
