Passage Four
Equal pay for equal work is a phrase used by the American women who feel that they are looked down upon by the society. They say it is not right for women to be paid less than men for the same work.
People who hold the opposite opinion(mainly men)have an answer to this. They say that men have more responsibility than women; a married man is expected to earn money to support his family and to make important decisions, and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. There are some people who hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married women working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children are given no attention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full-time job, they will be unable to do the things they are supposed to. Women are best at making a comfortable home and bringing up children. They will have to give up their present position in society.
"This is exactly what they want to give up, "the women who disagree say. "They want to escape from the limited place which society expects them to fill, and to have freedom to choose between a job and home life, or a mixture of the two. Women have the right of equal pay and equal opportunities."
These women have expressed their opinions forcefully by using the famous saying, "All men are created equal." They point out that the meaning of this sentence is "all human beings are created equal."
48. The women use the phrase "equal pay for equal work" to demand that______.
A. women's work shouldn't be harder than men's
B. men should be paid less than women
C. people doing harder work should earn more
D. men and women should be paid the same amount of money for the same work
正确答案：A

Don't Be Workaholic
Workaholic and working hard are quite different.
Working hard involves being organized,focused,getting a lot of work done,knowing when to stop,and having a life other than work.Workaholics,on the other hand,are often disorganized,always find reasons for working more,feel lost without work to do,hide from problems through work, don't know how or when to relax,bring work home from the office,can't communicate well with fellow workers and family members and have unbalanced,one-dimensional lives.
Workaholics,like those who are constantly drunk,suffer from a controlling habit,usually defined as compelling behavior despite negative consequences.They are sometimes pushed into their habit by their work beliefs,by workaholic role models,and by a work system that automatically sanctions workaholism,Despite lip service to the contrary,most employers want loyal employees who work longer hours,rewarding them with higher pay and better benefits.In many companies,workers unwilling to burn the midnight oil are at risk.Certainly,they hazard their jobs by working normal hours.Americans tend to become trapped in a working and spending consumption mode,driven by merchants,that leads them to rack up their expectations.
According to some psychology counselors,workaholism can be both good and bad for us.It can fuel a sense of self-worth and accomplishment. And we get paid for it and praised for it,which produces good feelings we may not necessarily be able to attain in other parts of our lives.Which of the following is not the symptom of being workaholic?
A:Always find reasons for working more.
B:Feel lost without work to do.
C:Don't know how or when to relax.
D:Get a lot of work done.答案：D解析：根据文章第二段对工作努力的人和工作成瘾的人的对比，我们可以发现 A、B、C选项都是工作成瘾的表现，而D项却是工作努力的人的表现。
文章第三段第一句话向我们描述了工作成瘾的人的情况，由此我们可以得出结论选项B是正确的。
sanction当动词用时意思是“支持，批准”,forbid意思是“禁止”,encourage 意思是“鼓励”,approve意思是“批准，许可”,interdict意思是“阻止”。因此只有选项C是正确的。
根据后文，我们知道该句的意思是“大多数雇主尽管口头上说得很漂亮，可他们需要的是忠心耿耿的、愿意加班的雇员，并用高薪和更多的福利来奖励他们”。因此选项A是正确的。
文章第三段和第四段告诉我们只有选项C是正确的。 -

第8题：
资料：It’s almost considered sacrilegious today to leave work at the end of your workday or（for shame！）on a Friday and simply not check your work email again until you return the office during normal working hours。
The constant need to check email is the trade-off the modern workforce has made for the ability to work anytime，anywhere，hanks to smartphones and tablets that keep us always connected。
But three university researchers have found that it’s not just doing a bit of work after hours that cause burnout。The true culprit is actually the constant worrying about off-hour email。
A new study。“Exhausted But Unable to Disconnect，”by Lehigh University’s Liuba Belkin，Virginia Tech’s William Becker and Colorado State University's Samantha Conroy shows that employees are growing exhausted by the expectation that they will always be available，never knowing what kind of work requests will be asked of them off hours。
Typically，companies don’t mean to stress employees out like that。Most companies don't have formal policies that say people must answer work emails after-hours，（except，perhaps，in cases where an employee is on call during specific times）。
But policies and culture tend to be two different things。If supervisors routinely email employees after hours and expect a fast response （often because their supervisors are doing the same to them），then the message is clear: whenever the boss emails，the employee is expected to be available。
The solution is for bosses to tell employees that an after-hours email doesn’t necessarily require a response before the next work day，and to also set some times when after-hours emailing is considered acceptable and prohibited，such as no emails via the dinner hour，on weekends，or after 10 p.m.，the researchers say。
What would you do if you were the policy maker of a company？A.To require an instant respond for after-hour emailing
B.To abandon after-hour emailing
C.To tell employees that an after-hours email doesn’t necessarily require a response
D.To limit the time of after-hour emailing答案：D解析：本题考查细节理解。
【关键词】would you do；the policy maker of a company；policy maker
【主题句】最后一个自然段The solution is for bosses to tell employees that an after-hours email doesn't necessarily require a response before the next work day， and to also set some times when after-hours emailing is considered acceptable and prohibited， such as no emails via the dinner hour， on weekends， or after 10 p. m， the researchers say. 研究人员说，解决办法是老板告诉员工，下班后的电子邮件不一定需要在下一个工作日之前回复，还可以设置下班后哪些时段发邮件是允许的，哪些是禁止的，比如在晚餐时间、周末或晚上10点之后不发送电子邮件。
【解析】题目意为“如果你是一家公司政策制定者，你会做什么？”选项A意为“要求及时回复邮件。”；选项B意为“放弃下班后邮件”；选项C意为“告诉员工下班后的邮件不一定要回复。”；选项D意为“限制下班时间的电子邮件。”结合主题句，故选D。

Why the study said people are “Exhausted But Unable to Disconnect”？A.Because they never know what kind of work requests will be asked off hours.

D) believe they can get promoted by reason of their sex or color
正确答案：B
答案：B
[试题分析] 事实判断题。
[详细解答] 意为：“不想让人认为他们的晋升是出于性别和肤色原因”。即：不想让人误以为老板是因为喜欢她或让别人知道自己对不同肤色的人公平看待才给他们晋升的。最后一段指出，克里蒙的观点是否有点荒唐呢?对于许多人来说，特别是对妇女和像克里蒙这样的少数民族来说并不荒唐，因为他们感到自己已看到事情的本质(the scales have dropped from their eyes)。贾米森在纽约做管理顾问，帮助公司处理这方面的事务，她说：“公司工作的妇女和黑人经常有些错误认识，认为只要努力工作，就会有晋升的机会——领导层的人会下顾(reach down)，给你升职。妇女和黑人大都害怕人们会认为他们升职是因为自己的性别或肤色，所以他们尽量不出头露面宣扬自己(play down their visibility)。”对于这些人，她的忠告是：学学白人男性们引人注目(find their way into the spotlight)的一贯做法。

Don't Be Workaholic
Workaholic and working hard are quite different.
Working hard involves being organized,focused,getting a lot of work done,knowing when to stop,and having a life other than work.Workaholics,on the other hand,are often disorganized,always find reasons for working more,feel lost without work to do,hide from problems through work, don't know how or when to relax,bring work home from the office,can't communicate well with fellow workers and family members and have unbalanced,one-dimensional lives.
Workaholics,like those who are constantly drunk,suffer from a controlling habit,usually defined as compelling behavior despite negative consequences.They are sometimes pushed into their habit by their work beliefs,by workaholic role models,and by a work system that automatically sanctions workaholism,Despite lip service to the contrary,most employers want loyal employees who work longer hours,rewarding them with higher pay and better benefits.In many companies,workers unwilling to burn the midnight oil are at risk.Certainly,they hazard their jobs by working normal hours.Americans tend to become trapped in a working and spending consumption mode,driven by merchants,that leads them to rack up their expectations.

But policies and culture tend to be two different things。If supervisors routinely email employees after hours and expect a fast response （often because their supervisors are doing the same to them），then the message is clear: whenever the boss emails，the employee is expected to be available。
The solution is for bosses to tell employees that an after-hours email doesn’t necessarily require a response before the next work day，and to also set some times when after-hours emailing is considered acceptable and prohibited，such as no emails via the dinner hour，on weekends，or after 10 p.m.，the researchers say。
What is this passage mainly about？A.Bosses push employees to work by sending emails anytime.
B.Employees are exhausted by the constant need to check emails.
C.Companies mean to stress the workers out by sending emails.
D.None of above答案：B解析：本题考查主旨大意。

【录音原文】
In Britain, if you are found guilty of a crime, you can be sent to prison or be fined or be ordered to do community work such as tidying public places and helping the old. You may also be sent to special centers when you learn special skills like cooking, writing and car maintenance. About 5 percent of the present prisoners are women. Many prisons were built over one hundred years ago. But the government will have built 11 new prisons by next year. There are two sorts of prisons: the open sort and the closed sort. In the closed sort, prisoners are given very little freedom. They spend three to ten hours outside their cells when they exercise, eat, study, learn skills, watch TV and talk to other prisoners. All prisoners are expected to work. Most of them are paid for what they do, whether it is doing maintenance or cooking and cleaning. Prisoners in open prisons are locked up at night, but for the rest of the time, they are free within the prison grounds. They can exercise, have visitors, or study. And some are allowed out of the ground to study or to do community work.
Questions 1 to 3 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
1. What do we know about women prisoners in Britain?
2. In what way are open prisons different from closed prisons?
3. What do we learn about prisoners in Britain?
