Because prizes carry the approval of an institu
30、tion, we expect them to be somehow more authoritative than ordinary reviews. But even the winners of the most prestigious awards are chosen by individuals, each with his or her own particular tastes, and the high stakes involved can make those choices even more capricious. Recently, I was explaining
31、 to a mathematician friend how I had screened the scores of nonfiction books that were candidates for the short list of a national literary prize I participate in judging. “If by Page 100 the author hasnt managed to get me interested in the topic, I eliminate it,“ I said. “Surely there are objective
32、 criteria?“ he replied, sounding a bit offended. Well, not really; a tedious volume full of useful information may have its merits, but not enough to make me champion it as one of the five best books of the year.

36、三、Why People Work(总题数：1，分数：10.00)填空项 1:_ （正确答案：material）解析：听力原文1-10Why People WorkToday, Id like to talk about the role of work in our life. Were all used to thinking that work provides the material things of life That is, we get goods and services through others work; we provide goods and services
37、to others through our own work. But we may not have fully realized the role of work in providing happiness and contentment to our life. Actually, jobs and work do much more than most of us realize in the more intangible, but more crucial, psychological side of our life.Historically, work has been as
38、sociated with slavery and sin and punishment. And in our own day we are used to hearing the traditional complaints: “I cant wait for my vacation, “ “I wish I could stay home today,“ “Ive got too much work to do and not enough time to do it.“ Against this background, it may well come as a surprise to
39、 learn that many psychologists and behavioral scientists have come to accept the positive contribution of work to the individuals happiness and sense of personal achievement. Work is more than a necessity for most human beings; it is the focus of their lives, the source of their identity and creativ
40、ity. Many psychiatrists have observed its healing effect. A significant number of patients lose some of their most acute symptoms after being given some sorts of productive job. go, institutions dealing with mental health problems are beginning to set up workshops for their patients. They also try t
41、heir best to arrange “real“ jobs for those well enough to work after being discharged from hospital. And the reverse is true, too. For large numbers of people, the absence of work is harmful to their health. Even though there may be no financial cares, retirement often brings many problems. Many ret
42、ired people feel depressed when they no longer need to go to work every weekday morning. It has been proved that unemployment, quite aside from exerting financial pressures, brings enormous psychological troubles. Many peoples health deteriorates rapidly when jobless.But why? Why should work be so i
43、mportant to peoples psychological wellbeing? Behavioral researchers believe that the answer lies in the personal and social rewards people get from work.Firstly, people get their individual rewards from work. Human beings long for a sense of being accomplished, of being able to do things, with his h
44、and, or with his mind. Each of us wants to feel that he or she has the ability to do something that is meaningful and that serves as a tribute to our inherent abilities. It is easy to see this in the craftsman who lovingly shapes some base material into a useful object. You can see the carpenter or
45、bricklayer stand aside and admire the product of his personal skill. Research has found that even the housekeeping and laundry staffs of a hospital take pride in the fact that in their own ways they are helping to cure sick people and thus accomplishing a good deal.Secondly, human beings are a kind
46、of social animal. They need to be socially recognized. Belonging to a certain work group, whether it be a company, a hospital or a university, is the most important source of ones social recognition. The satisfaction in being part of a well-coordinated, successful unit is derived from being part of
47、a larger collectivity. Working for a company that is thought of as being one of the best in the community can provide employees with both status and self-confidence. They assume, usually with good reason, that others regard them more highly, that they are more competent than the average because of this association with a prestigious institution. This pride of belonging to an accomplished work group is one of
