The Most Trending Professions in 2023
Referee (裁判) or other sports official
Average hourly wage: $24.86
Sports continue to be one of the nation’s favorite leisure activities. Sports officials who can keep the games fair are needed everywhere. Some on-the-job training is required, along with perhaps more than a little patience for fans and players.
Physician assistant
Average hourly wage: $57.43
Physician assistant is another health care role that has more responsibilities than a nurse but less than a doctor. Working with a physician, the workers can handle duties such as finding out patients’ disease, ordering medical tests and setting broken bones. These jobs require a master’s degree along with required certificates.
Project management specialist
Average hourly wage: $53.32
If you have experience helping others turn their great ideas into finished products, this could be the right role for you. A project management specialist needs a bachelor degree, but doesn’t have to follow a fixed working time.
Teacher
Average hourly wage: $33.43
Teaching has long been a popular job for older adults, whether they’ve been doing it for years or they choose it as a second career. While most public schools do require teachers to have a degree in education, many private schools are willing to hire teachers who come from other professions.
1. What can we know about physician assistants
A. They need an on-the-job training.
B. They are paid the most on average.

As an art graduate, I have always considered myself an artist. However, my journey as a jewelry maker began with an earring-making experience during the pandemic (疫情) when businesses were shutting down.
I struggled with large amounts of time, unemployed and unmotivated. I didn’t know what to do until my friends suggested we make something “cute” from clay (粘土). He was in a rut as well and was looking for an opportunity to get refreshed. While searching online, I was attracted by the photos of beautiful earrings. Thinking about my own possible designs, for the first time in so long, brought me excitement.
I began making my first pair once the materials arrived. I rolled, baked, and connected the clay pieces again and again, trying to make the combination perfect. It took me almost six hours to complete, leaving me with cuts all over my hands due to the repeated use of tools. While the earrings were still not perfect, I felt proud and eager to do better.
Afterwards, I officially started my jewelry-making journey by setting up an Instagram account to display my creations and to seek out other artists. Thanks to their help, I built upon my skills and found myself improving. Later on, I began receiving messages from interested buyers, which encouraged me much. Surprisingly, my creations were bought and worn by more and more people, shipped across the country, and carried in luggage as gifts or souvenirs.
Now I am lucky enough to have a full-time job where I have less time to create. But I’ll never give it up since it is creating jewelry that reminds me of my passion as an artist.
4. What does the underlined phrase “in a rut” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Stuck in self-criticism. B. Leading a dull life.
C. Tired from a busy schedule. D. Struggling for fame.
5. Which best describes the author’s earring-making experience in Paragraph 3
A. Painful. B. Perfect.
C. Rewarding. D. Disappointing.
6. What helped the author improve her jewelry-making skills
A. Recognition from buyers. B. Lessons from the past.
C. Encouragement from friends. D. Help from other artists.
7. What’s the main idea of this text
A. Clay art won me great fame.
B. Making jewelry helped me out.
C. Making jewelry built my character.
D. Clay art fueled my passion for business.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者如何开始制作耳环以及作者做耳环的经历对作者的影响。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“I struggled with large amounts of time, unemployed and unmotivated. I didn’t know what to do until my friends suggested we make something “cute” from clay (粘土). (我在大量的时间里挣扎，没有工作，没有动力。我不知道该怎么办，直到我的朋友建议我们用粘土做一些“可爱”的东西。)”可知，作者过得很无聊，再根据第二段“was looking for an opportunity to get refreshed.(正在寻找一个恢复精神的机会)”可知，作者的那个朋友也过着无聊的生活，划线短语in a rut的意思是“过着无聊的生活”，和Leading a dull life意思相近，故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“While the earrings were still not perfect, I felt proud and eager to do better.(虽然耳环还不够完美，但我感到自豪，并渴望做得更好。)”和第四段“Afterwards, I officially started my jewelry-making journey by setting up an Instagram account to display my creations and to seek out other artists.(之后，我正式开始了我的珠宝制作之旅，建立了一个Instagram账户来展示我的作品，并寻找其他艺术家。)”可知，作者制作耳环的经历是很值得的，故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Afterwards, I officially started my jewelry-making journey by setting up an Instagram account to display my creations and to seek out other artists. Thanks to their help, I built upon my skills and found myself improving.(之后，我正式开始了我的珠宝制作之旅，建立了一个Instagram账户来展示我的作品，并寻找其他艺术家。多亏了他们的帮助，我的技能得到了提高，并发现自己在进步。)”可知，来自其他艺术家的帮助帮助作者提高了自己的珠宝制作技能，故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“However, my journey as a jewelry maker began with an earring-making experience during the pandemic (疫情) when businesses were shutting down.(然而，我作为珠宝制造商的旅程始于大流行期间企业关闭时的耳环制作经历。)”和最后一段“Now I am lucky enough to have a full-time job where I have less time to create. But I’ll never give it up since it is creating jewelry that reminds me of my passion as an artist.(现在我很幸运有一份全职工作，我没有那么多时间去创造。但我永远不会放弃，因为它是创造珠宝让我想起我作为一个艺术家的激情。)”可知，本文主要讲的是作者如何开始制作耳环以及作者做耳环的经历对作者的影响，因此文章的主旨是B选项“Making jewelry helped me out.(制作珠宝帮我走出困境。)”，故选B。
C
Imagine you need milk, so you go to the grocery store to pick some up, only to find there are dozens of options. These days, you have to make a decision on not only the percentage of fat you want, but also what source you want your milk to be coming from: cows, soybeans... You have no idea what milk to pick. There are so many choices that you are confused.
This phenomenon is known as the paradox (悖论) of choice and it is becoming a concern in the modern world, where more and more options are becoming easily available to us. While we might believe that being presented with multiple options actually makes it easier to choose one that we are happy with, and thus increases consumer satisfaction, having too many options actually requires more effort to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice.
The idea was popularized by American psychologist Barry Schwartz when he published his book, The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less. Schwartz, who has long studied the ways in which economics and psychology intersect (交叉), became interested in seeing the way that choices were affecting the happiness of citizens in Western societies. He identified that the range of choices that we have available to us these days is far greater than that people had in the past; however, consumer satisfaction has not increased as much as traditional economics theories might expect.
Schwartz identified that the paradox of choice carries the most consequence for people that are maximizers. Maximizers, unlike satisficers, are concerned with making the best choice instead of simply making a choice that they are happy with. When there are many options available to maximizers, it becomes harder for them to determine which is the best, which can cause them to feel a great deal of regret after they have made a choice.
Instead of believing that freedom of choice is unlimited, Schwartz advocates that the role of psychology and behavioral economics should be to find the kind of limitations on freedom that can lead to the greatest level of happiness within society.
8 What’s the author’s purpose in mentioning buying milk in paragraph 1
A. To lead in the topic.
B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To show that we have more choices when shopping.
D. To indicate that people pay greater attention to health when shopping.
9. What does the paradox of choice suggest
A. More options mean less satisfaction.
B. Consumer satisfaction has greatly increased.
C. People are happy with more choices.
D. Modern people are happier than their ancestors.
10. What can be learned about satisficers
A. They aim for the very best. B. They tend to follow their feelings.
C. They often regret their decisions. D. They have trouble making a decision.
11. What does Schwartz suggest people do
A. Hold on to their beliefs. B. Accept their own behavior.
C. Give up freedom. D. Limit their own choices.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。 文章主要介绍了“选择悖论”这一现象，即过多的选择会让人们感到困惑和不满，从而降低消费者的满意度。文章还介绍了“最大化者”和“满足者”的区别，以及心理学和行为经济学在解决这一问题中的作用。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Imagine you need milk, so you go to the grocery store to pick some up, only to find there are dozens of options. (想象一下，你需要牛奶，所以你去杂货店买了一些，却发现有几十种选择)”以及“You have no idea what milk to pick. There are so many choices that you are confused.(你不知道该选什么牛奶。有太多的选择让你感到困惑)”可知，购物时牛奶品类众多，以至于很难做出决策。是下文“选择的悖论”这一现象的一个案例。由此可推知，文章第一段提到买牛奶就是为了引出文章的话题。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“While we might believe that being presented with multiple options actually makes it easier to choose one that we are happy with, and thus increases consumer satisfaction, having too many options actually requires more effort to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice.(虽然我们可能认为，提供多种选择实际上会让我们更容易选择一种我们满意的选择，从而提高消费者满意度，选择太多实际上需要付出更多的努力才能做出决定，这会让我们对自己的选择感到不满意)”可知，选择太多实际上需要付出更多的努力才能做出决定，这会让我们对自己的选择感到不满意。由此可推知，更多的选择意味着更少的满足感。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Maximizers, unlike satisficers, are concerned with making the best choice instead of simply making a choice that they are happy with. (与满足者不同，最大化者关心的是做出最好的选择，而不是简单地做出他们满意的选择)”可推知，满足者跟随自己的感觉，不纠结于必须做出“最好的”决定。故选B。
11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Instead of believing that freedom of choice is unlimited, Schwartz advocates that the role of psychology and behavioral economics should be to find the kind of limitations on freedom that can lead to the greatest level of happiness within society.(施瓦茨不认为选择的自由是无限的，而是主张心理学和行为经济学的作用应该是找到对自由的限制，从而在社会中获得最大程度的幸福)”可知，施瓦茨建议人们限制自己的选择。故选D。
D
In general, the society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it. In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.
The worker and employee are anxious, seemingly because they might find themselves out of a job or they would say that they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.
Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence. From the moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting a return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming the social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities — those of all love and of reason — are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.
12. By “a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery”, the author expresses the idea that man is _________.
A. an essential part of society with irreplaceable functions
B. expected to work in reasonable harmony with the rest of society
C. an unimportant component of society, though functioning smoothly
D. responsible for the smooth running of society and business operations
13. The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that _________.
A. they are filled with an overwhelming fear of being unemployed
B. they don’t have any genuine satisfaction or interest
C. they have to face the fundamental realities of human existence
D. they lack a sense of independence and productivity
14. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “submissiveness”
A. caution B. obedience C. commitment D. optimism
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce the production mode of our ancestors.
B. To show the problematic situation in society.
C. To argue for full development of human potentials.
D To help people escape production and consumption.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了现代社会中工人、雇员以及社会阶层较高者的焦虑和不满情绪，呼吁转变社会制度，充分开发人类潜能，使生产和消费成为实现人的全面发展的手段。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“In general, the society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it.(总的来说，社会正在变成一个由官僚管理层管理的巨型企业，在这个企业中，人变成了机器中一个小小的、运转良好的齿轮。给齿轮“加油”是通过更高的工资、设备精良的工厂和管弦乐，以及心理学家和“人际关系”专家完成的)”和“In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.(事实上，蓝领工人和白领工人已经成为经济的傀儡，随着自动化机器和官僚管理的曲调起舞)”可推知，作者认为人只是机器中一个小小的、运转良好的齿轮，是经济的傀儡，受到自动化机器和官僚管理的支配，虽然运行平稳，但并不重要。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.(事实上，他们感到绝望是因为他们从来没有作为情感和智力上独立的和有生产力的人去面对人类生存的基本现实)”可知，工人和雇员焦虑的真正原因是他们缺乏独立意识和生产力。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence.(当他们申请第一份工作时，他们接受智力测试，以及是否能把submissiveness和独立正确地结合起来的测试)”中“tested for”可知，句中谈论的是对应聘者的相关测试。结合划线词前“the right mixture...”和其后“independence”可推知，submissiveness与independence(独立)是应聘者需要兼有的两种 特质，应聘者在两者之间需要找到平衡点。结合选项可推知，submissiveness与obedience同义，意为“服从”，与independence(独立)意思相对。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I suggest transforming the social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities — those of all love and of reason — are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.(我建议将社会制度从以最大限度生产和消费为目的的官僚管理的工业主义转变为以人及其潜能——所有爱和理性的潜能——的充分发展为社会安排目标的人道主义工业主义。生产和消费应该作为达到这一目的的手段，而不应该支配人)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是主张充分开发人类潜能。故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍在公众场合碰到尴尬和被嘲笑时，我们应当学会自嘲。这样，我们会更有吸引力。因为自嘲可以让我们在生活中更成功，也有利于精神健康。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Have you ever embarrassed yourself in public and got laughed at Say, have you accidentally knocked over the water when you were talking with someone (你是否曾在公共场合尴尬而被嘲笑？你有没有在和别人说话的时候不小心打翻了水？)”可知，我们经常会在公众场合使自己尴尬，被嘲笑。以及下文“And it’s okay — you should even have a laugh about them. (这没什么——你甚至应该对他们一笑置之)”可知，作者认为这很正常。由此可知，选项C“Chances are that we all have this kind of experience.(很可能我们都有这样的经历)符合上下文语境。故选C。
【17题详解】
空处为小标题，为本段主要内容。根据下文“Most of us have insecurities, or feel bad about ourselves because of past misfortune. However, it’s normal to be imperfect. You should stop worrying about having to convince others of your worth or maintaining an ideal image of yourself. You should be honest with yourself about who you are and accept yourself despite your weaknesses.(我们大多数人都有不安全感，或者因为过去的不幸而对自己感觉不好。然而，不完美是正常的。你不应该再为说服别人相信你的价值或维持自己的理想形象而烦恼。你应该诚实地面对自己。尽管你有弱点，你还是要接受自己)”可知，本段主要讲的是接受不完美的自己。由此可知，选项E“Laughing at yourself means accepting who you really are.(嘲笑自己意味着接受真实的自己)”适合作本段标题，符合本段主旨。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据下文“And optimistic people tend to be more successful. This is because making fun of ourselves contributes to our mental health and helps lift our mood in the face of difficulties or embarrassment.(乐观的人往往更成功。这是因为自嘲有助于我们的心理健康，并帮助我们在面对困难或尴尬时提升情绪)”可知，此处解释了为什么乐观的人更容易成功，说明空处和乐观有关系。由此可知，选项G“Usually, people who are able to laugh at themselves are the optimistic ones.(通常，能够自嘲的人都是乐观的人)”与下文一致。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“While laughing at someone else may hurt their feelings even if you didn’t intend to, laughing at yourself does not — you might even bring a smile to their faces.(嘲笑别人可能会伤害他们的感情，即使你不是故意的，但嘲笑自己不会——你甚至可能会让他们微笑)”及下文“People actually appreciate it when you laugh at yourself. (当你自嘲时，人们实际上很欣赏)”可知，自嘲有很多好处。由此可知，选项B“Don’t worry about losing respect from others.(不要担心失去别人的尊重)”符合上下文语境。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Just remember: it is human to make mistakes, and you have to accept yourself just as you are. (只要记住：犯错是人之常情，你必须接受本来的自己)”可知，文章最后点明主题：自嘲会让你变得更有魅力，更加健康。由此可知，选项F“Learn to laugh at yourself and you will be so much happier(学会自嘲，你会更快乐)”符合语境。故选F。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My husband and I enjoy seeing life through the eyes of our children. It’s amazing to watch as they discover their world.
While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel.
We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait—and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother—we realized the tiny squirrel was lost.
Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order. More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own.
Our daughters and I took turns in feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds.
To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter (吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild.
His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels. But the family was none too happy about his visit. They scolded and swatted at him. At first Squirt was so unhappy that he avoided them. And then he quickly learned some social skills. He would take some snacks to meet them. For several days he played all day in the trees surrounding our house but came down at bedtime.
One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard. Our girls fretted. They wanted to seek Squirt. We prevented them because it was too dangerous. But when the sun rose the next day, there was Squirt, begging for food. And that remained the pattern for weeks. The experience was entertaining and heartwarming for our family. In the wild and somewhat silly moments of raising an orphaned baby squirrel, our children learned to value and appreciate life.

The Most Trending Professions in 2023
Referee (裁判) or other sports official

Physician assistant

Physician assistant is another health care role that has more responsibilities than a nurse but less than a doctor. Working with a physician, the workers can handle duties such as finding out patients’ disease, ordering medical tests and setting broken bones. These jobs require a master’s degree along with required certificates.
Project management specialist
Average hourly wage: $53.32

Teacher
Average hourly wage: $33.43
Teaching has long been a popular job for older adults, whether they’ve been doing it for years or they choose it as a second career. While most public schools do require teachers to have a degree in education, many private schools are willing to hire teachers who come from other professions.

As an art graduate, I have always considered myself an artist. However, my journey as a jewelry maker began with an earring-making experience during the pandemic (疫情) when businesses were shutting down.
I struggled with large amounts of time, unemployed and unmotivated. I didn’t know what to do until my friends suggested we make something “cute” from clay (粘土). He was in a rut as well and was looking for an opportunity to get refreshed. While searching online, I was attracted by the photos of beautiful earrings. Thinking about my own possible designs, for the first time in so long, brought me excitement.
I began making my first pair once the materials arrived. I rolled, baked, and connected the clay pieces again and again, trying to make the combination perfect. It took me almost six hours to complete, leaving me with cuts all over my hands due to the repeated use of tools. While the earrings were still not perfect, I felt proud and eager to do better.
Afterwards, I officially started my jewelry-making journey by setting up an Instagram account to display my creations and to seek out other artists. Thanks to their help, I built upon my skills and found myself improving. Later on, I began receiving messages from interested buyers, which encouraged me much. Surprisingly, my creations were bought and worn by more and more people, shipped across the country, and carried in luggage as gifts or souvenirs.
Now I am lucky enough to have a full-time job where I have less time to create. But I’ll never give it up since it is creating jewelry that reminds me of my passion as an artist.

A. Stuck in self-criticism. B. Leading a dull life.

Imagine you need milk, so you go to the grocery store to pick some up, only to find there are dozens of options. These days, you have to make a decision on not only the percentage of fat you want, but also what source you want your milk to be coming from: cows, soybeans... You have no idea what milk to pick. There are so many choices that you are confused.
This phenomenon is known as the paradox (悖论) of choice and it is becoming a concern in the modern world, where more and more options are becoming easily available to us. While we might believe that being presented with multiple options actually makes it easier to choose one that we are happy with, and thus increases consumer satisfaction, having too many options actually requires more effort to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice.
The idea was popularized by American psychologist Barry Schwartz when he published his book, The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less. Schwartz, who has long studied the ways in which economics and psychology intersect (交叉), became interested in seeing the way that choices were affecting the happiness of citizens in Western societies. He identified that the range of choices that we have available to us these days is far greater than that people had in the past; however, consumer satisfaction has not increased as much as traditional economics theories might expect.
Schwartz identified that the paradox of choice carries the most consequence for people that are maximizers. Maximizers, unlike satisficers, are concerned with making the best choice instead of simply making a choice that they are happy with. When there are many options available to maximizers, it becomes harder for them to determine which is the best, which can cause them to feel a great deal of regret after they have made a choice.
Instead of believing that freedom of choice is unlimited, Schwartz advocates that the role of psychology and behavioral economics should be to find the kind of limitations on freedom that can lead to the greatest level of happiness within society.
8. What’s the author’s purpose in mentioning buying milk in paragraph 1
A. To lead in the topic.
B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To show that we have more choices when shopping.
D. To indicate that people pay greater attention to health when shopping.
9. What does the paradox of choice suggest
A. More options mean less satisfaction.
B. Consumer satisfaction has greatly increased.
C. People are happy with more choices.
D. Modern people are happier than their ancestors.
10. What can be learned about satisficers
A. They aim for the very best. B. They tend to follow their feelings.
C. They often regret their decisions. D. They have trouble making a decision.
11. What does Schwartz suggest people do
A. Hold on to their beliefs. B. Accept their own behavior.
C. Give up freedom. D. Limit their own choices.
D
In general, the society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it. In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.
The worker and employee are anxious, seemingly because they might find themselves out of a job or they would say that they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.
Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence. From the moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting a return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming the social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities — those of all love and of reason — are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.
12. By “a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery”, the author expresses the idea that man is _________.
A. an essential part of society with irreplaceable functions
B. expected to work in reasonable harmony with the rest of society
C. an unimportant component of society, though functioning smoothly
D. responsible for the smooth running of society and business operations
13 The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that _________.
A. they are filled with an overwhelming fear of being unemployed
B. they don’t have any genuine satisfaction or interest
C. they have to face the fundamental realities of human existence
D. they lack a sense of independence and productivity
14. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “submissiveness”
A. caution B. obedience C. commitment D. optimism
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce the production mode of our ancestors.
B. To show the problematic situation in society.
C. To argue for full development of human potentials.
D. To help people escape production and consumption.

Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order. More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own.
Our daughters and I took turns in feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds.
To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter (吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild.
His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material.
