only May through September Saturdays only for a small minority does work offer scope for creativity imagination or initiative Inequality at work is still one of the most glaring 明显的 forms of inequality in our society 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 it determinedly The most glaring inequality is 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 own 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 provides them with no opportunity for personal development Many jobs are so routine that workers feel themselves to be mere cogs 齿轮 in the bureaucratic machine As a direct consequence of their work experience many workers feel alienated 疏远 from their work and their firm 53 In the writer s opinion people judge others mainly by A the type of work they doB the place where they work C the time they spend at workD the amount of money they earn 54 According to the writer to solve problems in an industrial society we A should create more working opportunities for the poor B have to get rid of the unequal aspects in work C had better cancel all managing positions in a company D should encourage the manual workers to promote efficiency 55 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 complete control over themselves C It 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 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 胆固 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 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 fake 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 反安慰剂效应 Sometimes patients benefit from an intervention 干预 simply because they believe they will that s the placebo effect 安慰剂效应 The nocebo 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 feeling muscle 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 cause 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 one fake news story reads It warns that prescription medications lead to the uncontrolled cell mutations 变异 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 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 diets B the unhealthy lifestyle might lead to the woman s heart attack C the symptom of the heart attack was familiar to the woman D the woman didn t take the prescription due to fake medical news 57 According to the passage the placebo effect functions because patients A neglect necessary treatmentB discontinue the harmful drugs C believe the benefits of an interventionD suffer more side effects 58 What does the author mean by claiming that 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 to A remind us to take medication as prescribed B warn us against fake me medical news on the Internet C encourage journalists to report more positive news events D teach us how to distinguish fake medical news on the Internet D A story posted 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 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 复古的 life which literally includes watching shows like I Love Lucy and listening to vinyl recordings 刻录碟片 I think it s important to remember that being a 1950s housewife was actually totally awful and something our grandmothers and mothers fought against For 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 Thanksgiving 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 Getting 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 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 thankless mindless labor No wonder everyone went all in on processed foods when they came around Imagine the nice break something like a microwave dinner would give a woman working unpaid for her family every single day I also had another grandma She was a scholar who helped found the Center for the Study of Women in Society at University of Oregon She was a pioneering second wave feminist who wrote books gave lectures and traveled the world But she did all of that after divorcing my grandpa when most of her kids were out of the house Back then in the 1950s and the 1960s there was no illusion about women having it all How could that even possibly happen If you were taking care of a family waiting on your husband you had no time to follow your dreams unless you made that your dream A lot of women took that approach We call it Stockholm Syndrome now And of course these women I am talking about are upper middle class white women Romanticizing the 1950s is especially disgusting when you think about how women of color and poor women were treated back then and the lack of education and choices available to them Because the women in this country demanded something approaching equality Holte has the chance to live out her fantasy Not every woman in America is so lucky We still don t have pay equality and in many states we still don t have autonomy over our own bodies Poor women and women of color still lack the opportunities of their wealthy and white peers And while it s getting better women are still expected to be responsible for the emotional labor of running a household and raising the children But at least we can get jobs At least we don t have to sew our own clothes wear a full face of makeup every day and spend hours making Cloud Biscuits some ungrateful kid will wolf down barely remembering to say thank you 60 According to the author what is the future our foremothers fought for A Watching shows like I Love Lucy and listening to vinyl recordings B Having the freedom to make choices in their daily life C Making Cloud Biscuits for their kids and husbands D Making sure their kids and husbands socially acceptable 61 What does the underlined word that in paragraph 13 refer to A Writing books giving lectures and traveling the w
