S40.D. $54.For most of us, work is the central, dominating fact of life. We spend more than half our conscious hours

32、at work, preparing for work, traveling to and from work. What we do there largely determines our standard of livingand our status to a considerable extent It is sometimes saidthat because leisure has become more important, the injustices of work can be pushed into a comer, and that because most work

33、 is pretty intolerable, the people who do it should compensate for its boredom, frustrations and humiliations by concentrating their hopes on the other parts of their lives. For the foreseeable future, however, the material and psychological rewards which work can provide will continue to play a vit

34、al 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 where their work is done; only for a small minority does work offer scope for creativity, imagination or initiative.Inequality at work is still one of the m

35、ost glaring（明顯的） forms of inequality in oursociety. We cannot hope to solve the more obvious problems of industrial life, many of which arise from the frustrations created by inequality at work, unless we handle itdeterminedly.The most glaring inequality is that between managers and the rest. For mo

36、st managers, work is an opportunity and a challenge. Their jobs engage their interest and allow them to develop their abilities. 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 impor

37、tant of all, they have opportunities to initiate. By contrast, for most manual workers, work is a boring, dull, even painful experience. They spend all their working lives in intolerable conditions. The majority have little control over their work. It provides them with no opportunity for personal d

38、evelopment. Many jobs are so routine that workers feel themselves to be mere cogs（齒輪）in the bureaucratic machine. As a direct consequence of their workexperience, many workers feel alienated（疏遠(yuǎn)）from their work and their firm.53. In the writer's opinion, people judge others mainly by .A. the type

39、 of work they doB. the place where they workC. the time they spend at workD. the amount of money they earn54. According to the writer, to solve problems in an industrial society, we.A. should create more working opportunities for the poorB. have to get rid of the unequal aspects in workC. had better

40、 cancel all managing positions in a companyD. should encourage the manual workers to promote efficiency55. What advantage does the writer say managers have over workers?A. They won't be out of work.B. They get time off to learn constantly.C. They can work at what interests them.D. They have comp

41、lete control over themselves.CIt started during a yoga class. She felt a strange pull on her neck, a feeling completely foreign to her. Her friend suggested she rush to the emergency room. It turned out that she was having a heart attack.She didn't share similar symptoms with someone who was lik

42、ely to have a heart attack. She exercised, watched her plate and did not smoke. But on reviewing her medical history, I found that her cholesterol （膽 固醇） level was sky-high. She had been prescribed a cholesterol-lowering statin （他汀）medication, but she never picked up the prescription because of the

43、scary things she had read about statins on the Internet. She was the victim of fake medical news.While misinformation has been the object of great attention in politics,medicalmisinformation might lead to an increase in deaths. As is true with fake news in general, medical lies tend to spread furthe

44、r than truths on the Internet and they have very real bad consequences.False medical information can also lead to patients experiencing greater side effectsthrough the "nocebo effect（反安慰齊 U效應(yīng)）Sometimes patients benefit from an intervention（干預(yù)）simply because they believe they will that's the

45、 placebo effect（安慰齊U效應(yīng)） .Thenocebo effect is the opposite. Patients can experience harmful effects because they anticipate them. This is very true of statins. In blinded trials, patients who get statins are no more likely to report feelingmuscle aches than patients whoget a placebo. Yet, in clinical

46、practice,according to one study, almost a fifth of patients taking statins report side effects, leading many to discontinue the drugs.What else is on the fake news hit list? As always, vaccines（疫苗）.False concerns thatthe vaccine may cause side effects have greatly reduced coverage rates.Cancer is an

47、other big target for pushers of medical misinformationmany of whom refusealternative therapies. "Though most people think cancer tumors are bad, they're actually the way your body attempts to contain the harmful cells," one fake news story reads. It warns that prescription medications

48、lead to the uncontrolled cell mutations（變異）Silicon Valley needs to face this problem. I am not a free-speech lawyer, but when human health is at risk, perhaps search engines, social media platforms and websites should be held responsible for promoting or hosting fake information. Meanwhile, journali

49、sts should do a better job of spreading accurate information.56. We can learn from Paragraph 2 thatA. the woman paid little attention to her daily dietsB. the unhealthy lifestyle might lead to the woman's heart attackC. the symptom of the heart attack was familiar to the womanD. the woman didn&#

50、39;t take the prescription due to fake medical news57. According to the passage, the placebo effect functions because patientsA. neglect necessary treatmentB. discontinue the harmful drugsC. believe the benefits of an interventionD. suffer more side effects58. What does the author mean by claiming t

51、hat "he is not a free-speech lawyer" in the last paragraph?A. He is a lawyer very easy to speak to.B. He is good at speaking because of his job.C. He is available to give a speech on the law.D. He is very cautious when speaking something.59. The main purpose of the passage is toA. remind u

52、s to take medication as prescribedB. warn us against fake me medical news on the InternetC. encourage journalists to report more positive news eventsD. teach us how to distinguish fake medical news on the InternetDA story posted by The New York Post Monday tells the tale of Katrina Holte , a Hillsbo

53、ro woman who quit her job to cosplay a 1950s housewife.Let me start by expressing admiration to Holte for using her 2019 freedoms to follow her 1950s dreams. Everyone should be so lucky as to get to decide what they wear and how they spend their time. That's the future our foremothers fought for

54、.But much fun as I am sure she is having living a vintage（復(fù)古的）life, which literallyincludes watching shows like "I Love Lucy" and listening to vinyl recordings（亥錄碟片） ,Ithink it's important to remember that being a 1950s housewife was actually totally awful, and something our grandmothe

55、rs and mothers fought againstFor example, once I called my grandma and asked her for her recipe for Cloud Biscuits, these delicious biscuits she used to makethat we would cover with butter and homemaderaspberry jam on Thanksgiving."Why would you want that?" she said. "Go to the store.

56、 Go to the freezer section. Buy some pre-made biscuits and put them in the oven."She straight-up refused to give me the recipe, because it was hard and took a long time to make. In her mind, it was a waste of time.Getting off the phone, it occurred to me that spending every day of your life ser

57、ving a husband and five children wasn't fun at all. And then there are the grandchildrenwho eventuallycome along demanding Cloud Biscuits, a whole new expanded set of people to feed.She was basically a slave to those hungry mouths, cooking scratch meals three times a day. When she wasn't trapped in the kitchen, she had to keep the house clean, make sure she looked good enough to be socially acceptable, and make sure her kids and husband looked good enough to be socially acceptable. And she had no days off.I know my grandm
