    Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be, Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant (不相关的).A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.

    The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does, It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?

    These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years – but unless we meet the truant officer (学监) ,we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes(构成) “overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight – saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight – saving law- as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.

    67. By saying” Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be,” the writer means that __________.

    A. work time is equal to rest time

    B. many people have a day off on Monday,

    C. it is hard for people to decide when to rest

    D. the line between work time and rest time is unclear


    正确答案:D

    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

    More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing
    1 Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known,new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.
    2 Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep,as well as a number of other sleep problems,than people who sleep 8 hours a night. People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night's sleep than 8-hour sleepers.
    3 These findings,which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine,demonstrate that people who want to get a good night's rest may not need to set aside, more than 8 hours a night.He added that“it might be a good idea”for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed,but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.
    4 Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance,one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.
    5 For the current report,Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionaires,in which participants indicated how much they slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems.Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night,arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep,and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.
    6 Kridke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more like-ly to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed. As evidence,he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed.“It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed,then they'll spend a higher percentage of time awake.”he said.

    Paragraph 5______
    A: Kripke's Research
    B: Dangers of Habitual Shortages of Sleep
    C: Criticism on Kripke's Report
    D: A way of Overcoming Insomnia
    E: Sleep Problems of Long and Short Sleepers
    F: Classification of Sleep Problems

    答案:A
    解析:
    该段中只包含两个句子,而每个句子中提到了have trouble falling asleep“很难入睡”,这表明该段主题应与睡眠问题相关。选项E和选项F都直接提到了sleep problems “睡眠问题”,因此推测答案可能来自这两个选项。选项E意为“睡眠时间长的人和睡眠时间短的人遇到的睡眠问题”,选项F意为“睡眠问题的分类”。结合段落内容来看,段落第一句主要提到people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight“每晚睡9一10个小时的人即睡眠时间长的人”的情况,段落第二句主要提到people who slept only 7 hours each night“每晚只睡 7个小时的人即睡眠时间短的人”呼应,因此E是答案。
    整个段落只包含一个句子,该句主要以前的研究揭示了慢性睡眠不足的潜在危险。这与B项“习惯性睡眠不足的危险”呼应一致。所以答案为B。
    A和F容易相互成为干扰项,这对于该段主题的判断具有一定的迷惑性,但由于段落中提到的“睡眠问题”是属于问卷上要回答的内容,是和Kripke的直接研究有关,所以判断“Kripke的研究”是段落的主题,因此A是答案。
    剩下的3个选项中,选项F作为第1小题的干扰项成为本小题答案的可能性很小,选项C意为“对Kripke报告的批评”,整个段落主要提到了Kripke的研究发现和他的看法: Kridke found ... (Kridke发现);Kripke noted ... (Kripke指出……); he added...(他补充说……), 根本没有涉及到对Kripke的批评,因此C是干扰项,答案应该为D。该段首先分析了睡眠时间长的人出现睡眠问题的原因,然后指出克服失眠(睡眠问题的具体表现)的一种方法。
    利用题干中的名词短语。good night's rest和名词people作为定位线索,在文章中找到相关句:These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psycho-somatic Medicine,demonstrate that people who want to get a good night's rest may not need to set aside more than 8 hours a night.依据该句可直接判断F项“睡眠超过8小时”是答案。
    利用题干中的名词短语long sleepers作为定位线索,同时关注题干中的其他用词,这样在文章中找到相关句:Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight(与long sleepers呼应)appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep,as well as a number of other sleep problems, than people who sleep 8 hours a night.依据该句可直接判断E项“出现睡眠问题”是答案。
    利用题干中的名词短语one of the sleep problems, the middle of the night 作为定位线索,在文章中找到相关句:Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night,arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep,and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning. A项fall asleep again“再次入睡”是fall back to sleep的 近义结构,所以答案为A。
    利用题干中的名词结构one survey, higher risk of dying作为定位线索,在 文章中找到相关句:one report(与 survey呼应)demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than peo-ple who sleep more.依据该句可直接判断C项“睡眠不足7个小时”是答案。

  • 第5题:

    Text 1 A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys,people are actually more stressed at home than at work.Researchers measured people’s cortisol,which is a stress marker,while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom,we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home”,writes one of the researchers,Sarah Damske.In fact women even say they feel better at work,she notes.“It is men,not women,who report being happier at home than at work.”Another surprise is that findings hold true for both those with children and without,but more so for nonparents.This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when they’re at home,whether it is household work or work brought home from the office.For many men,the end of the workday is a time to kick back.For women who stay home,they never get to leave the office.And for women who work outside the home,they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks.With the blurring of roles,and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women,it’s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it’s not just a gender thing.At work,people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing:working,making money,doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income.The bargain is very pure:Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front,however,people have no such clarity.Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out.There are a lot of tasks to be done,there are inadequate rewards for most of them.Your home colleagues—your family—have no clear rewards for their labor;they need to be talked into it,or if they’re teenagers,threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices.Plus,they’re your family.You cannot fire your family.You never really get to go home from home.So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home.Not only are the tasks apparently infinite,the co-workers are much harder to motivate.
    According to Paragraph 1,most previous surveys found that home_____

    A.was an unrealistic place for relaxation
    B.generated more stress than the workplace
    C.was an ideal place for stress measurement
    D.offered greater relaxation than the workplace

    答案:D
    解析:
    细节题【命题思路】这是一道细节题。主要考查考生准确理解题干,精准定位,并能正确划分和掌握定位信息的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键词“Paragraph 1,most previous surveys”定位到首段首句。由A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys可知most previous surveys和a new study的研究结论相反,即正确答案和people are actually more stressed at home than at work表述的意思相反。对比四个选项可知D项为正确答案。【干扰排除】A项属过度推理,原文虽提到在家比在工作中有更多的压力,但并不能推测出“不是休闲放松的理想场所”。B项属于偷换概念,虽首段第一句出现了“more stress”以及“the workplace”,但文章中是指“人们感到在家比在工作中压力更大”,而不是B项所指的“家能产生更多的压力”。C项指“家是测量压力的理想场所”,属于无中生有。

    More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing

    Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known,new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.
    Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep,as well as a number of other sleep problems,than people who sleep 8 hours a night. People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night's sleep than 8-hour sleepers.
    These findings,which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night's rest may not need to set aside more than 8 hours a night. He added that it might be a good idea for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed,but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.

    问答题
    The world of work is changing rapidly. Working conditions today are not the same as they used to be, and people no longer devote their life to doing one job for life. Write a composition of about 400 words to discuss the possible causes of these changes, and give your suggestions as to how people should prepare for work in the future.

    正确答案:
    Vast changes are taking place in the world's labour market, so it comes as no surprise that people's views on occupations are no longer the same as before. Nowadays, many people are inclined to do one job in their lives, while others change their job frequently. How has this phenomenon come about? I believe there are several reasons.
    As we are ushered into a new era, the demand for labour has shifted its focus. In the past, companies only required their employees to be loyal and to follow the supervisors' instructions to the letter. But nowadays, employees with imagination and creativity are most welcome in the job market. Therefore, the employer is always happy to see new faces and fresh ideas.
    People's attitudes toward work have also altered. They tend to believe that each person has his talents in many fields. After they have devoted themselves to a particular area for a few years, they may be bored with what they have been doing all along, and would like to make endeavors in some other field for a change. Some of them assume that they can make more accomplishments in a new job, while others simply hunger for new challenges and adventures.
    Finally, the world itself is changing at a bewildering pace. Some professions flourish while others slump. And there are new professions emerging every day. Thus, spurred to adapt themselves to the new, ever-changing circumstances, people will have to acquire new knowledge and skills, so that they can work in new fields and make more money.
    However, there are also evident disadvantages to changing one's job frequently. Once you switch to a new profession, you have to start from scratch. For scientists, as well as engineers or doctors, long-term training is indispensable to their career. Job-hopping, therefore, is not practical for them. For people whose jobs need little special training, work experience means much more. Hopping to a new lob, they have to gather experiences in the new field from the very beginning.
    Taken as a whole, it is my conclusion that people living in the present IT era have to get fully prepared for what is drawing near. It will be advantageous if they can be open-minded enough to acquire various types of knowledge and skills, and get psychologically prepared for the swift changes occurring with each passing day.

    答案:C
    解析:
    该段中只包含两个句子,而每个句子中提到了have trouble falling asleep“很难入睡”,这表明该段主题应与睡眠问题相关。选项E和选项F都直接提到了sleep problems “睡眠问题”,因此推测答案可能来自这两个选项。选项E意为“睡眠时间长的人和睡眠时间短的人遇到的睡眠问题”,选项F意为“睡眠问题的分类”。结合段落内容来看,段落第一句主要提到people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight“每晚睡9一10个小时的人即睡眠时间长的人”的情况,段落第二句主要提到people who slept only 7 hours each night“每晚只睡 7个小时的人即睡眠时间短的人”呼应,因此E是答案。
    整个段落只包含一个句子,该句主要以前的研究揭示了慢性睡眠不足的潜在危险。这与B项“习惯性睡眠不足的危险”呼应一致。所以答案为B。
    A和F容易相互成为干扰项,这对于该段主题的判断具有一定的迷惑性,但由于段落中提到的“睡眠问题”是属于问卷上要回答的内容,是和Kripke的直接研究有关,所以判断“Kripke的研究”是段落的主题,因此A是答案。
    剩下的3个选项中,选项F作为第1小题的干扰项成为本小题答案的可能性很小,选项C意为“对Kripke报告的批评”,整个段落主要提到了Kripke的研究发现和他的看法: Kridke found ... (Kridke发现);Kripke noted ... (Kripke指出……); he added...(他补充说……), 根本没有涉及到对Kripke的批评,因此C是干扰项,答案应该为D。该段首先分析了睡眠时间长的人出现睡眠问题的原因,然后指出克服失眠(睡眠问题的具体表现)的一种方法。
    利用题干中的名词短语。good night's rest和名词people作为定位线索,在文章中找到相关句:These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psycho-somatic Medicine,demonstrate that people who want to get a good night's rest may not need to set aside more than 8 hours a night.依据该句可直接判断F项“睡眠超过8小时”是答案。
    利用题干中的名词短语long sleepers作为定位线索,同时关注题干中的其他用词,这样在文章中找到相关句:Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight(与long sleepers呼应)appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep,as well as a number of other sleep problems, than people who sleep 8 hours a night.依据该句可直接判断E项“出现睡眠问题”是答案。
    利用题干中的名词短语one of the sleep problems, the middle of the night 作为定位线索,在文章中找到相关句:Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night,arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep,and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.

  • 第16题:

    Text 1 A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys,people are actually more stressed at home than at work.Researchers measured people’s cortisol,which is a stress marker,while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom,we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home”,writes one of the researchers,Sarah Damske.In fact women even say they feel better at work,she notes.“It is men,not women,who report being happier at home than at work.”Another surprise is that findings hold true for both those with children and without,but more so for nonparents.This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when they’re at home,whether it is household work or work brought home from the office.For many men,the end of the workday is a time to kick back.For women who stay home,they never get to leave the office.And for women who work outside the home,they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks.With the blurring of roles,and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women,it’s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it’s not just a gender thing.At work,people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing:working,making money,doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income.The bargain is very pure:Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front,however,people have no such clarity.Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out.There are a lot of tasks to be done,there are inadequate rewards for most of them.Your home colleagues—your family—have no clear rewards for their labor;they need to be talked into it,or if they’re teenagers,threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices.Plus,they’re your family.You cannot fire your family.You never really get to go home from home.So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home.Not only are the tasks apparently infinite,the co-workers are much harder to motivate.

    2 .Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep,as well as a number of other sleep problems,than people who sleep 8 hours a night.People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night's sleep than 8-hour sleepers.
    3 .These findings,which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine,demonstrate that people who want to get a good night's rest may not need to set aside. More than 8 hours a night.He added that“it might be a good idea” for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed,but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.
    4 .Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance,one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.
    5 .For the current report,Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionnaires,in which participants indicated how much they slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems.Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night,arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep,and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.
    6 .Kripke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed.As evidence,he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed.“It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed,then they'll spend a higher percentage of time awake.”he said.

    Long sleepers are reported to be more likely to______.
    A:fall asleep again
    B:become more energetic the following day
    C:sleep less than 7 hours
    D:confirm those serious consequences
    E:suffer sleep problems
    F:sleep more than 8 hours

    答案:E
    解析:
    该段中只包含两个句子,而每个句子中提到了have trouble falling asleep“很难入睡”,这表明该段主题应与睡眠问题相关。选项E和选项F都直接提到了sleep problems “睡眠问题”,因此推测答案可能来自这两个选项之中。选项E意为“睡眠时间长的人和睡眠时间短的人遇到的睡眠问题”,选项F意为“睡眠问题的分类”。结合段落内容来看,第一句主要提到people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight“每晚睡9-10个小时的人”,即睡眠时间长的人的情况,段落第二句主要提到People who slept only 7 hours each night“每晚只睡 7个小时的人”,即睡眠时间短的人的情况,因此E是答案。
    整个段落只包含一个句子,该句主要提到了以前的研究发现揭示了慢性睡眠不足的潜在危险。这与选项B“习惯性睡眠不足的危险”呼应一致,因此答案为B。
    对于该段主题的判断具有一定的迷惑性,A和F容易相互成为干扰项,但由于段落中提到的“睡眠问题”是属于问卷上要回答的内容,是和Kripke的直接研究有关,所以判断“Kripke的研究”是段落的主题,因此A是答案。
    剩下的三个选项中,选项F作为第1小题的干扰项成为该小题答案的可能性很小,选项C意为“对Kripke报告的批评”,整个段落主要提到了Kripke的研究发现和他的看法:Kripke found...(Kripke发现);Kripke noted...(Kripke指出……);he added...(他补充说……),根本没有涉及到对Kripke的批评,因此C是干扰项,答案应该为D。该段首先分析了睡眠时间长的人出现睡眠问题的原因,然后指出减少失眠(睡眠问题的具体表现)的一种方法。
    利用题干中的名词短语a good night's rest和名词people作为定位线索,在文章中找到相关句These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psycho-somatic Medicine,demonstrate that people who want to get a good night's rest may not need to set aside more than 8 hours a night.依据该句可直接判断F“睡眠超过8小时”是答案。
    利用题干中的名词短语long sleepers作为定位线索,同时关注题干中的其他用词,这样在文章中找到相关句Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight(与long sleepers呼应)appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep,as well as a number of other sleep problems, than people who sleep 8 hours a night。依据该句可直接判断E“出现睡眠问题”是答案。
    利用题干中的名词短语one of the sleep problems, the middle of the night 作为定位线索,在文章中找到相关句Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night,arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep,and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.fall asleep again“再次入睡”是fall back to sleep的近义结构,因此答案为A。
    利用题干中的名词结构one survey, higher risk of dying作为定位线索,在文章中找到相关句 one report(与survey呼应)demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more,依据该句可直接判断C“睡眠不足7个小时”是答案。

    To get a good night's rest,people may not need to______.
    A:fall asleep again
    B:become more energetic the following day
    C:sleep less than 7 hours
    D:confirm those serious consequences
    E:suffer sleep problems

    答案:F
    解析:
    Investigators … found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling , than…该句回应了文章的主题―睡眠时间太长不是好事。对应被选项发现只有E和F与这个内容有关系,但段落最后一句中又提到了睡眠不足的人的问题,因此判断E(睡眠时间长和睡眠时间短的人所面临的睡眠问题)是答案。
    第四段只有一句话:Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep , for instance…这句话表明了该段的中心是“长期睡眠不足的潜在危险“。因此选B。

    根据搭配结构need to do sth.判断所有选项都在语法上合适。因此要借助句意来判断,答案是F。
    借助句意“根据报道,睡眠时间长的人更有可能……”,并结合文章主题(睡眠时间长不是好事情)判断E合适。也可借助文章中的相关内容(利用题干中的Long sleepers和 more likely作为答案线索): Kripke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.
    句意为“其中的一个睡眠问题是在半夜醒来,不能……”文章第五段倒数第一句话提到午夜醒来很难再次入睡,直接判断A合适。
    句意:“一项调查显示那些习惯性每晚……的人有更高的死亡风险。”在第四段找到相关信息:people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.判断C是答案。

    问答题
    Directions: some people prefer work or activities that mainly involve working with people. Others choose work or activities that mainly involve working with objects or machines. Compare these types of activities. Which of them do you prefer? Give reasons to support your answer. Your composition should be no less than about 160 words.

    正确答案:
    Some people prefer work or activities that mainly involve working with objects or machines. They hold the opinion that this can make their work more accurate. However, I prefer to work with people. I have the following reasons to support my point of view.
    First, working with people can promote the work efficiency. As we know, human beings are social animals. We need a community to live in, and to work with people is not a bad choice. For example, when I encounter a problem, I can consult my co-workers for advice. As the saying goes, three minds are greater than one. What’s more, we can cooperate with each other and the power of brain-storm can solve any difficulty. In this way, the team spirit is raised and the work efficiency is promoted.
    Second, working with people brings about competition. Rivalry is a very effective motive in improving one’s ability. It can make one energetic and full of new ideas. The co-worker is also a competitor. One can measure his own achievement compared with others. In this way, the shortcomings can be easily located.
    On the contrary, working with machines or objects can not be so productive. Though they are accurate, they can not communicate with people. To conclude, working with people can bring about fruitful results, which can make the society more harmonious.
