A
In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes a worker’s life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, the variety is not an important factor(因素).
Other experts feel that giving a worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important, and there is no question that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complex machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Therefore while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it.
Another very important consideration is how each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories a worker sees only one part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than a large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is the degree of a worker’s contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about.
To what extent(程度)does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if companies and factories succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.

At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excitedly. “Get out of the classroom and into a job,” it said, and Ron obeyed. His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. “You’re lucky, Ron,” he said. “For every boy who wants a job these days, there’s a dozen(很多)without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week. For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school days as a time of great variety and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success.
One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a truck going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart and a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a cafe run by an elderly man and his wife. Before he finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed(速度)of it rather astonished Ron. At quiet time Ron had to check the old man’s arithetic(算术)in the records of the business.
At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was, the only one who could keep accounts(记账).

One Saturday afternoon years ago I was working in the parsonage yard. It was cold and windy. I welcomed it. Christmas was approaching. I noticed an unusual amount of traffic on our county road. All of it was southbound.
“Lois, much traffic is going south today, have you noticed that?”
“It must be Christmas in the Country.” she said.
“What’s that?”
“A lady turns her whole house into a Christmas open house for the weekend. Every room in the house and the whole barn are filled with beautiful handcrafted(手工的)items. She serves wassail(酒宴)and cookies and plays Christmas music. I hear it’s quite an event.”
“Why don’t you take me there?”I asked.
“Sure.”
We all got in the car to check it out. The Christmas in the Country open house was on a country road back a bit of lane. When arriving, we saw a field turned into a parking lot full of cars. We had to wait in line to get in. Everyone was in a festive mood, laughing and joking. They were all dressed warmly and wearing Christmas things. It was so delightful that we went back year after year and always looked forward to it. The next year Lois sold her own crafts(工艺品)in the show and did very well for a number of years in a row there. It was early in the Christmas season and a good way to get in a Christmas mood. People will travel a long way for good things. If you can brighten their life they will usually find you wherever you are. If you will help people in the hard struggle of life you will not be alone. That was true in the beautiful countryside of Knox County, Ohio and I believe it’s true in downtown Flint, Michigan and wherever you live, too.

When Shawn Kumar of Denver was laid off(解雇)at the end of February, he hit the road. Kumar got a United Airlines special $490 fare and went to Russia. He spent two weeks going through Moscow’s Red Square and St Petersburg.“When you get laid off, it can get depressing and stressful. Traveling gets me to another country—another place, another culture which helps me forget about problems back home,” he said.
With nearly 1 of 10 US workers unable to get a job under the current economic conditions, some have chosen to travel to fight the unemployment blues or to reconnect with the familiar people. To be sure, unemployed travelers are a small group. In a survey of laid—off workers by careerbuilder.com, only 3% of them said travel was the first item on their to—do list.
Still, those who can afford to spend with no salary coming in are finding a depressed economy that can work to their advantage. Airfares are at low prices, and hotels are deeply discounted(打折扣).
“People go through a depressing process when laid off,” said Bradley Richardson, author of Career Comeback. “If you can afford it, traveling is a great idea to clear your mind.”
Those who travel during unemployment are most likely to have limited financial and family burdens. Nancy Ilk, a health care software specialist in Tucson, sensed her firm’s vulnerability(脆弱)last year and started to save. When she was laid off in April, she had her finances in order, and had traveled to Australia and Washington, DC. “I have no pets, no kids, no debt, and no commitments. I don’t want my drop in work to be my drop in pleasure,” she said.
Travel deals are helping. Ilk paid only $800 for her Tucson—Sydney flight.

Should parents talk to a dying child about death? The answer is “Yes”, according to a Swedish study. They had given the question to 368 parents whose children had died of cancer. About 123 parents said they had talked to their children about death. Almost a third of those didn’t think they should.
“The most important thing is that no parents were sorry for talking about death with their child,” said the researchers.
So many experts encourage parents to talk about death with their dying children because they believe it helps the children. Most parents listened to the new study and agreed to do it. Dr Lawrence Wolfe, a child cancer doctor in Boston, said the study would help doctors guide parents who were not sure if they should talk about death with their children.“I believe that even very young children know that something very serious is happening,” he said. “Mystery is usually worse than the truth.” Mrs Souza said she was frightened when Dr Wolfe said that her daughter Jackie should know that she was dying of cancer. “You’re joking. How do you tell a 16—year—old girl, who has tried every day to get well, that we are giving her up?” But Mrs Souza said she did not feel sorry for what she did. When Jackie knew that she had only four days to live, she asked to spend money on toys instead of giving her treatment. “Her memory just kept living on because she told us exactly what to do and how to do it,” she said. “If we hadn’t told her, she would never have said any of that.”
73. Where did the study that parents should tell a dying child about death come from?
A. America. B. Canada. C. Japan. D. Sweden.
74. How many parents did not tell their children about death according to Paragraph 1?
A. 368. B. 123. C. 245. D. 122.
75.“Mystery is usually worse than the truth.” What does this sentence mean?
A. Death is worse than life.
B. Telling a dying child about death is better than hiding the truth.
C. Mystery is more terrible than the truth.
D. Parents should not tell children the truth of death.
