But which side deserves sympathy more, the jobless or the still employed? On March 6, researchers at a conference at the University of Cambridge heard data suggesting its the latter. Brendan Burchell, a Cambridge sociologist, presented his analysis based on various surveys conducted across Europe. The data suggest that employed people who feel insecure in their jobs show similar levels of anxiety and depression as those who are unemployed. Although a newly jobless persons mental health may “bottom out” after about six months, and then even begin to improve，the mental state of people who are continuously worried about losing their job “just continues to get worse and worse，” Burchell says. Evolutionary psychologists support this theory by arguing that human beings feel more stress during times of insecurity because they sense an immediate but invisible threat. Patients have been known to experience higher levels of anxiety，for example，while waiting for examination results than knowing what they are suffering fromeven if the result is cancer. Its better to get the bad news and start doing something about it rather than wait with anxiety. When the uncertainty continues, people stay in a nonstop “fight or flight” response，which leads to damaging stress. But not every employee in insecure industries has such a discouraging view, Burchell says. In general, women get on better. While reporting higher levels of anxiety than men when directly questioned, women scored lower in stress on the GHQ 12, even when they had a job they felt insecure about losing. As Burchell explains, “For women, most studies show that any jobit doesnt matter whether it is secure or insecuregives psychological improvement over unemployment.” Burchell supposes that the difference in men is that they tend to feel pressure not only to be employed，but also to be the primary breadwinner，and that more of a mans selfworth depends on his job.1. Why do researchers think the still employed deserve sympathy more？ A. They have to do more work since then. B. They have no chance to find better jobs. C. They have to work with inexperienced workers. D. They constantly worry about losing their jobs.2. What is most likely to cause a “fight or flight” response？ A. Not having a paid job. B. Fierce competition for jobs. C. Not knowing what will happen. D. Pressure to work longer hours.3. What will the writer talk about following the last paragraph？ A. Advice on preparing a job interview. B. Advice to those in insecure industries. C. Some knowledge of psychology. D. Difference in men and women.4. What could be the best title for the text？ A. Is It Less Stressful to Get Laid Off Than Stay On？ B. Should Greater Sympathy Be Given to the Jobless？ C. Do Employees Bear More Stress Than Ever Before？ D. Do Men or Women Show Higher Levels of Anxiety？【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。研究人员发现与下岗职工相比，在职人员更值得同情，因为担心工作是否稳定、自身的价值能否体现等一系列的心理压力笼罩着他们，让他们的身心备受煎熬。1.解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中“the mental state of people who are continuously worried about losing their job just continues to get worse and worse”可知，研究者之所以认为在职人员更值得同情，是因为在职人员一直处于担心会失去工作的状态中。答案：D2.解析：细节理解题。结合第三段内容尤其是该段最后一句“When the uncertainty continues, people stay in a nonstop fight or flightresponse, which leads to damaging stress.”可知，当不确定性持续下去时，人们会处于一种持续的“战或逃”的反应中，而这会导致损害性压力的产生，故“战或逃”的反应是由不确定会发生什么而引起的。答案：C3.解析：推理判断题。首先结合全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了与下岗职工相比，在职人员更值得同情，因为他们担心会失去工作，这种长久焦虑的精神状态让他们倍感压力。作者陈述了这种现象并分析了其产生的原因，由常理可知，接下来应该谈到给这些焦虑的人们的一些建议或忠告，以帮助他们减缓压力。答案：B4.解析：标题概括题。通读全文可知，本文将在职人员与失业人员的心理健康情况进行比较，主要是为了说明在职人员因持续担心会失去工作而倍感压抑。答案：A.七选五How Can I Fight Laziness？ Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind. _1_ Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day. Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach，viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. _2_ Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. _3_ Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. _4_ Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people. _5_ Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.A. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.C. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.D. To fight family laziness, set an example.E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.F. Create a reward system for yourself，just as parents do for a child.G. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.答案：1.A2.G3.F4.D5.C.完形填空 One of my fondest Christmas memories was also one of our familys bleakest (最令人沮丧的).
