We spend more than half our conscious hours at work, preparing for work, travelling to and from work. What we do t
25、here largely determines our standard of living and to a considerable extent the status we are accorded by our fellow citizens as well. It is sometimes said that because leisure has become more important the indignities and injustices of work can be pushed into a corner; that because most work is pre
26、tty intolerable, the people who do it should compensate for its boredoms, frustrations and humiliations by concentrating their hopes on the other parts of their lives. I reject that as a counsel of despair. For the forseeable future the material and psychological rewards which work can provide, and
27、the conditions in which work is done, will continue to play a vital part in determining the satisfaction that life can offer. Yet only a small minority can control the pace at which they work or the conditions in which their work is done; only for a small minority does work offer scope for creativit
28、y, imagination, or initiative.Inequality al work and in work is still one of the cruelest and most glaring forms of inequality in our society. We cannot hope to solve the more obvious problems of industrial life, many of which arise directly or indirectly from the frustrations created by inequality
29、at work, unless we tackle it head-on. Still less can we hope to create a decent and humane society.The most glaring inequality is that between managers and the rest. For most managers, work is an opportunity and a challenge. Their jobs engage their interest and allow them to develop their abilities.
30、 They are constantly learning; they are able to exercise responsibility; they have a considerable degree of control over their own and others working lives. Most important of all, they have the opportunity to initiate. By contrast, for most manual workers, and for a growing number of white-collar wo
31、rkers, work is a boring, monotonous, even painful experience. They spend all their working lives in conditions which would be regarded as intolerable for themselves - by those who take the decisions which let such conditions continue. The majority have little control over their work; it provides the
32、m with no opportunity for personal development. Often production is so designed that workers are simply part of the technology. In offices, many jobs are so routine that workers justifiably feel themselves to be mere cogs in the bureaucratic machine. As a direct consequence of their work experience,
33、 many workers feel alienated from their work and their firm, whether it is in public or in private ownership.Rising educational standards feed rising expectations, yet the amount of control which the worker has over his own work situation does not rise accordingly. In many cases his control has been
34、 reduced. Symptoms of protest increase - rising sickness and absenteeism, high turnover of employees, restrictions on output, and strikes, both unofficial and official. There is not much escape out and upwards. As management becomes more professional - in itself a good thing - the opportunity for pr
35、omotion from the shop floor becomes less. The only escape is to another equally frustrating manual job; tile only compensation is found not in the job but outside it, if there is a rising standard of living.（分数：5.00）(1).In the writers opinion, people judge others by _.（分数：1.00）A.the type of work the
36、y doB.the place where they workC.the time they spend at workD.the amount of money they earn(2).What does the writer think is needed to solve our industrial problems?（分数：1.00）A.A reduction in the number of strikes.B.Promotion of manual and white-collar workers.C.A more equal distribution of responsib
37、ility.D.An improvement in moral standards.(3).What advantages does the writer say managers have over other workers?（分数：1.00）A.They cannot lose their jobs.B.They get time off to attend courses.C.They can work at whatever interests them.D.They can make their own decisions.(4).As a result of better edu
38、cation, people _.（分数：1.00）A.are constantly changing jobsB.feel entitled to more responsible jobsC.want to own their own businessD.find their jobs more interesting(5).Why are so few ordinary workers promoted nowadays?（分数：1.00）A.They dont have the right qualifications.B.They are no longer ambitious.C.
39、The best workers have already been promoted.D.It would be too expensive for the companies.BText 2/BHave you heard about the book which Upushes/U blood types as determining whether somebody should be vegetarian or not?The idea of choosing foods based on your blood type was popularized by Peter J. DAd
40、amo, ND, in his book, Eat Right For Your Type (CT. P. Putnams Sons, 1996). DAdmno, a naturopath, proposes that those who have blood type A should be vegetarian, while those with blood type O must eat meat and eliminate wheat and some other grains. He says that following the correct diet for your blo
41、od type will help you maintain optimal health and weight, avoid many infections, and fight back against life-threatening illnesses. Is there any truth to his claims?While DAdamo spends more than 350 pages explaining the minute details of the foods, supplements, medications, and exercise regimens whi
42、ch should be followed by people with each blood type, he fails to scientifically document the effectiveness of his recommendations. Many of the claims which he makes are not backed up by published research. For example, depending on your blood type, you are presented with detailed lists of foods whi
43、ch are highly beneficial, neutral, or to be avoided. How were these lists generated? Has any research been published showing adverse heath effects from use of foods which should be avoided? No studies are presented which support what appear to be the authors speculations.Numerous studies have shown
44、that vegetarians live longer than non-vegetarians and have a lower risk of a number of chronic diseases. These studies are likely to be based on people from all blood type groups. It certainly seems that a vegetarian diet has benefits for those studied, regardless of their blood type. Similarly, stu
45、dies like those of Dean Ornish appear to demonstrate the beneficial effect of a vegetarian diet and other lifestyle changes on a number of individuals, and not just those of certain blood type.Eat Right For Your Type should not be used as the basis for dietary change. Statements like “I could never
46、be a vegetarian, Im type O“ are not based on scientific evidence and may even lead people to avoid making dietary changes which could benefit both their health and the health of our planet. Our advice? Stick with a varied, whole foods-based vegetarian diet regardless of your blood type.（分数：5.00）(1).
47、What is the authors attitude toward DAdamos advice?（分数：1.00）A.Unbelieving.B.Supportive.C.Hesitating.D.Disdaining.(2).According to the author, which of the following has been amply proved?（分数：1.00）A.Vegetarian diet has brought about many lifestyle changes.B.Non-vegetarians have a higher risk of many chronic diseases.C.Dietary changes at regular intervals will benefit peoples health.D.Die
