Of course, the job is one of the most

30、 demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it).

41、te ever reach zero? Econo mists, who gen erally believe that supply tends to meet dema nd, have long thought about this questi on. Even in good times, i.e. not now, there arepeople who can t find work. And even in bad times, i.e. now, there are job openings. With over 14 millionpeople out of work a

42、nd looki ng for a job, you would thi nk every available job would be fi lied. But that snot the case. Not now and not ever.On Mon day, the Nobel Prize committee awarded the prize for econo mics to the three scholars whohave done the most to explain this phe nomenon. Two of the winners are America ns

43、, Peter Diam ond of MIT and Dale Morterisen of Northwestern. The third winner is Christopher Pissarides, who teaches at the London School of Economics and was born on Cyprus.Like most of economics, what they have found about why the jobless and ready- employers don t findeach other seems obvious. Yo

44、u have to find out there is job opening you are interested in. Employers need to get resumes （簡(jiǎn)歷）.It takes a while for both employers and employees to make the decision that this is what they want. And these guys came up with a frame-work to study the problem of why people stay un employed Ion ger t

45、ha n they should and what can be done about it.So what would today s Nobel Prize winners do to solve the current problem of the unemployed? Anddoes the awardi ng of the prize con tribute to thepoliticia ns loweri ng jobless ness?Speaking from his north London home, Pissarides told The Associated Pre

46、ss the announcement cameas a a complete surprise though his work had already helped shape thinking on both sides of the Atlantic.For example, the New Deal for Young People, a British government policy aimed at getting18-24-year- olds back on the job market after long periods of un employme nt,is ver

47、y much based onwork, ” he said.Oneof the key things we found is that it is important to make sure that people do not stayunemployed too long so they don t lose their feel for the labor force,” Pissarides told reportersaThe wayaof dealing with this need not be expensivetraining -it could be as simple

Contrary to popular belief, it is easier to find a job in bad times.D. It is possible to find a job even in times as bad a

49、s now.64. What is it that leads to their winning the prize?A. They have found the reason for unemployment.B. They have put forward a set of ideas to deal with unemployment.C. They have found out why people don t vtartde employed.D. They have long studied the problem of unemployment.65. Which of the

52、ple un employed for some timeDAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environmentand our experie nces? Stran gely eno ugh, the an swer to both these questio ns is yes. To some exte nt our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special edu

53、cation can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he

54、reaches those limits will depe ndon his en viro nment. This view,now held by most experts, can be supported in a nu mber of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relati on ship betwee n two people, the closer they are likely to b

55、e in in tellige nce. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random（ 隨機(jī)地）from the population,it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical （完全相同的 ）twins they will very likely beas intelligent as each other. Relations like bro

56、thers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar in tellige nce, and this clearly suggests that in tellige nce depe nds on birth.Imagi ne now that we take two ide ntical twins and put them in differe nt environmen ts. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a fa

57、ctory where the work is boring. We would soon find differe nces in in tellige nce develop ing, and this in dicates that en vir onment as well as birth playsa part. This con clusi on is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close con tact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to
