29、 single line through the center. 30 Opinion polls are now beginning to show an unwilling general agreement that, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on, high unemployment is probably here to stay. This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely. Bu

30、t we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future of work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? Should we not rather encourage many other ways for self-respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves,

31、 rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work? The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most peoples work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial a

32、ge may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a discouraging thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom. Emp

33、loyment became widespread when the enclosures (圈地运动 ) of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work f

34、rom peoples homes. Later, as transport improved, first by rail and then by road, people traveled longer distances to their places employment until eventually, many peoples work lost all connection with their home lives and places in which they lived. Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage

35、. It became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife. All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the impractical goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent prac

36、tical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs. 31 What idea did the author derive from the recent opinion polls? （ A） Available employment should be restricted to a small percentage of the population. （ B） New jobs must be created in order to rectify high unemployment figures. （

37、 C） Jobs available must be distributed among more people. （ D） The present high unemployment figures are a fact of life. 32 The passage suggests that we should now re-examine our thinking about work and_. （ A） be prepared to admit that being employed is not the only kind of work （ B） create more fac

38、tories in order to increase our productivity （ C） set up smaller private enterprises so that we in turn can employ others （ D） be prepared to fill in time by taking up housework 33 The passage tells us that the arrival of the industrial age meant that_. （ A） universal employment guaranteed prosperit

39、y （ B） economic freedom came within everyones reach （ C） patterns of work were fundamentally changed （ D） to survive, everyone had to find a job 34 As a result of the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries, _. （ A） people were no longer legally entitled to own land （ B） people were forced to look

42、till evident in the United States today. Many people are still fascinated by the frontier because it has been particularly important in shaping American values. For many years, the frontier experience was romanticized in popular movies and television shows that featured cowboy heroes fighting Indian

43、 villains. Little attention was given to the tragic story of what really happened to Native Americans. Today, most Americans are more aware of the darker side of the settling of the continent, when thousands of Native American Indians were killed, their lands were taken, and much of their culture wa

44、s destroyed. The American frontier consists of the relatively unsettled regions of the United States, usually found in the western part of the country. Here, both land and life were more rugged and primitive than in the more settled eastern part. As one frontier area was settled, people began moving

45、 farther west into the next unsettled area, sweeping aside the Native Americans as they went. By settling one frontier area after another, Americans moved across an entire continent, 2 700 miles wide. They came to believe that it was their destiny to control all the land, and eventually they did. Th

46、e Native Americans were given small portions of land called reservations to control, but the United States government broke many promises and created much misery for the Indian nations. Recently, Americans have come to a more balanced view of the settling of the West. However, many Americans still s

47、ee many aspects of the frontier, its people and their beliefs, as good, inspiring examples of traditional American values in their original and purest form. How did the frontier movement, which lasted more than two centuries, help to shape these basic American values? To be sure, the frontier provid

48、ed many inspiring examples of hard work as forests were turned into towns, and towns into large cities. The competitive race for success was rarely more colorful or adventurous than on the western frontier. Individualism, self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most c

49、losely associated with the frontier heritage of America. Throughout their history, Americans have tended to view the frontier settler as the model of the free individual. In the United States, where freedom from outside social controls has traditionally been valued, the frontier has been idealized, and it still serves as a basis for a nostalgic view of the early United States, a simpler time that was los
