32、spend more than half our conscious hours at work, preparing for work, traveling to and from work. What we do there largely determines our standard of living and our status to a considerable extent It is sometimes said that because leisure has become more important, the injustices of work can be push

33、ed into a comer, and that because most work 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 w

34、ork can provide 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 where their work is done; only for a small minority does work offer scope for creativity, imagination or initiati

35、ve.Inequality at work is still one of the most glaring （明顯的）forms of inequality in our society. We cannothope to solve the more obvious problems of industrial life, many of which arise from the frustrations created by inequality at work, unless we handle it determinedly.The most glaring inequality i

36、s 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. They are constantly learning. They are able to exercise responsibility. They have a considerable degree of control over their o

37、wn and others' working lives. Most important 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 prov

38、ides them with no opportunity for personal development. Many jobs are so routine that workers feel themselves to be mere cog s（齒輪）in the bureaucratic machine. As a direct consequence of their work experience, many workers feel alienate（d 疏遠(yuǎn)） from their work and their firm.53. In the writer's opi

39、nion, people judge others mainly by .A. the type of work they doB. the place where they workC. the time they spend at workD. the amount of money they earn54.

40、t rid of the unequal aspects in workC. had better 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

41、can work at what interests them.D. They have complete 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'

42、t share similar symptoms with someone who was likely 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 stati（n 他?。?medication, but

43、 she never picked up the prescription because of the 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, medical misinformation might lead to an increase in deaths. As is true with f

44、ake news in general, medical lies tend to spread further than truths on the Internet and they have very real bad consequences.False medical information can also lead to patients experiencing greater side effects through the "nocebo effect （ 反安慰劑效應(yīng)）Sometimes patients benefit from an intervention

45、（ 干預(yù)） simply because they believethey will that's the placebo effect （安慰齊U效應(yīng)）.The nocebo effect is the opposite. Patients can experienceharmful effects because they anticipate them. This is very true of statins. In blinded trials, patients who get statins are no more likely to report feeling mus

46、cle aches than patients who get a placebo. Yet, in clinical 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 that the vaccine may caus

47、e side effects have greatly reduced coverage rates.Cancer is another big target for pushers of medical misinformation many of whom refuse alternative therapies. "Though most people think cancer tumors are bad, they're actually the way your body attempts to contain the harmful cells," o

48、ne fake news story reads. It warns that prescription medications 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 respons

49、ible for promoting or hosting fake information. Meanwhile, journalists should do a better job of spreading accurate information.56. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that .A. the woman paid little attention to her daily dietsB. the unhealthy lifestyle might lead to the woman's heart attackC. the sym

53、 by The New York Post Monday tells the tale of Katrina Holte , a Hillsboro 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

54、 they spend their time. That's the future our foremothers fought for.But much fun as I am sure she is having living a vintage （復(fù)古的）life, which literally includes watching shows like "I Love Lucy" and listening to vinyl recordings （刻錄碟片）, I think it's important to remember thatbeing

55、 a 1950s housewife was actually totally awful, and something our grandmothers 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 make that we would cover with butter and homemade raspberry jam on Thank

56、sgiving."Why would you want that?" she said. "Go to the store. 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.Gett

57、ing off the phone, it occurred to me that spending every day of your life serving a husband and five children wasn't fun at all. And then there are the grandchildren who eventually come along demanding Cloud Biscuits, a whole new expanded set of people to feed.She was basically a slave to those

58、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 grandma loves her kids and her grandkids, her husband and the life she led, but man, it must have been a lot of th
