17、 society of employees. A hundred years or so ago only one of every five Americans at work was employed, i. e., worked for somebody else. Today only one out of five is not employed but working for himself. And when fifty years ago “being employed“ meant working as a factory laborer or as a farmhand,

18、the employee of today is increasingly a middle-class person with a substantial formal education, holding a professional or management job requiring intellectual and technical skills. Indeed, two things have characterized American society during these last fifty years; middle-class and upper-class em

19、ployees have been the fastest-growing groups in our working populationgrowing so fast that the industrial worker, the oldest child of the Industrial Revolution, has been losing in numerical importance despite the expansion of industrial production. Yet you will find little if anything written on wha

20、t it is to be an employee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to get a job or how to get a promotion. You can also find a good deal of work in a chosen field, whether it be the mechanists trade or bookkeeping. Every one of these trades requires different skills, sets different s

21、tandards, and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have employeeship in common. And increasingly, especially in the large business or in government, employeeship is more important to success than the special professional knowledge or skill. Certainly more people fail because they do not kn

22、ow the requirements of being an employee than because they do not adequately possess the skills of their trade; the higher you climb the ladder, the more you get into administrative or executive work, and the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the organization rather than on technical ab

23、ilities or professional knowledge. 30 It is implied that fifty years ago . （ A） eighty percent of American working people were employed in factories （ B） twenty percent of American intellectuals were employees （ C） the percentage of intellectuals in the total work force was almost the same as that o

28、nfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 35 Education has acquired a kind of snob (诌上骄下的势利鬼 )value in modern times. We are no longer content to be honest craftsmen (工匠 ), skilled at our work through years of patient practice. Nowadays if we want promotion in even the humblest (卑微的 ) job, we

29、have to obtain a certificate or a diploma first. We may know that we would be better at the job than the man with the paper qualifications, but our experience and practical skills are often regarded as relatively unimportant. “Johnson would have been manager by now if hed taken the trouble to get a

30、degree,“ his colleagues say, “hes a clever man. He could have done anything if hed had a proper education.“ I wonder if, as time goes on, we shall discover that many people, whose practical experience and ability would have been enormously useful to their employers, have been rejected form hire or p

31、romotion on the grounds that they were insufficiently qualified.

Grandma Moses is among the most celebrated twentieth century painters of the United States, yet she had

45、 barely started painting before she was in her late, seventies. As she once said of herself: “I would never sit bank in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.“ No one could have had a more productive old age. She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys an

46、d five girls. (“We came in bunches, like radishes.“)At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until at twenty- seven, she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had te

47、n children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927. Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺绣 )pictures a hobby, but only switched to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first

48、sold at the local drugstore and at a fair, and were soon spotted by a dealer who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930s and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures: detailed and lively portrayals (绘画 ) of the rural life she had known far so long, with a marvelous sense of color and form. “I think real hard till think of this real pretty, and then I painted it,“ she said. 50 What would be the
