Not infrequently, foreign visitors have observed that Americans spend an inordinate (54) of time working and, (55) a consequence, Americans have little time for leisure or personal relationships. In American English a new word has been (56) to (57) people who work compulsively. The word "workaholic" describes an individual who is (58) addicted to work as an alcoholic is to liquor.

填空题Today's worker is no longer willing to work in an authoritarian and dehumanizing environment. Workers want meaning in their work and balance in their lives. They want opportunities to contribute and to know how their work is effective. Employees want to work for organizations that respect them as individuals. They also want to know that they are working for an ethical company that acts in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. Today, and in the future, companies must design work so that employees can take responsibility and be rewarded appropriately. By changing altitudes, and conditions in the workplace, organizations can help make work more meaningful. Repetitive factory routines and office work that simply moves paper from in-box to out-box are mindless task that destroy motivation and productivity. Research has shown that mental challenge is closely related to job satisfaction. Too little challenge in the work, as in completely automated tasks, generally leads to boredom and lowered satisfaction. On the other hand, too much challenge may lead to failure and frustration. Thus success or achievement in reaching an accepted standard of competence is an important factor in job satisfaction. Today's workers want to be a valued part of the whole. They want to know that their work is important and how it fits into the corporate strategy. They want to know not only how the work they do affects others and the organization's goals, but how they as individuals can make an impact. Employees will contribute their knowledge enthusiastically in a corporate culture that values the individual. The profitability of a company is related to the quality and efforts of its workers. Therefore, a direct relationship between job performance and reward makes work more meaningful. Compaq Computers, for example, has an unusually low turnover rate among its employees. Like most companies in the computer field, Compaq expects its people to work long and hard to achieve big results quickly. In many companies an atmosphere of constant push would inspire people to seek employment with less pressure somewhere else. Instead, high quality people stay with Compaq. The company's culture emphasizes individual responsibility for results and high respect for individuals, Compaq benefits from creating opportunities for employees to perform to the vast of their potential and to be rewarded for their achievements.

填空题Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many (51) . The simple (52) for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things (53) in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements (54) interest, and more groups and organizations (55) different beliefs. In (56) , there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in (57) societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by (58) more areas of life to decision. In a simple-racial (59) , there are (60) occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for (61) because everything seems to be the same. And (62) conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed. Social change is also likely to occur more frequently and (63) in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in the (64) basic and emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in form rather than in (65) ; and in elements that are (66) to the culture rather than in strange elements. (67) , social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes (68) readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp differences. This is one reason why change has (69) come more quickly to Black Americans as (70) to other American minorities, because of sharp difference between them and their white counterparts.

填空题Energy use and air pollution have been synonymous in China for decades, especially in urban areas. (66) Fifteen or 20 years ago in China's northern cities, such as Shenyang, air pollution was characterized by decreased visibility caused by high levels of particulates and sulfur dioxide (SO2). Although conditions have improved in modern cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, China still has three of the ten most polluted cities in the world and hundreds of cities that are not in compliance with the World Health Organization (WHO) air quality guidelines. (67) More than 120 cities have populations of more than one million, and by the end of the twenty-first century, 10 to 20 cities will have populations of more than 10 million. Rapid urbanization will challenge governments at all levels, not only to provide basic services to growing urban populations, but also to modernize, to continue to develop economically, and to address environmental concerns, particularly air pollution, that result from rapid economic growth. Chinese planners now recognize that the choice of energy supply affects not only public health, but also land use, the environment, infrastructure, services, and economic growth. (68) Because China has an overabundance of coal and a scarcity of oil and gas, planners must continually balance the public good (i. e. , public health and quality of life) against the easy availability of polluting coal and the high cost of importing oil and natural gas. Fundamentally, the Chinese policy community must address ambient air quality concerns by integrating energy supply and use for all economic sectors--industrial, power generation, residential, commercial, and transportation. (69) The national averages for emissions of SO2 and particulate matter (PM) have decreased, mostly as a result of stepped up enforcement of existing standards by national, provincial, and municipal governments. However, because of the increase in vehicle pollution and the continued prevalence of fine-particle pollution, the government passed a second amendment in 2000 to the 1987 Law of Air Pollution Prevention and Control. (70) When the new law is fully implemented over the next decade, it will greatly strengthen environmental laws and standards.A. Thus, a secure, flexible, and varied energy-supply policy is critical to continued growth.B. The new legislation, which went into effect September 1, 2001, calls for the regulation of transportation, as well as residential and commercial energy use.C. In rural areas, air pollution is also common because a significant amount of industry that is highly dependent on coal is located in the countryside.D. China is undergoing urbanization and industrial development on an unprecedented scale.E. This may be because vehicles in Beijing tend to be new and have fairly efficient combustion systems.F. A good deal of progress has been made in China since the mid-1990s.

填空题(66)GNP becomes an obsolete measure of progress in a society striving to meet people's needs as efficient as possible and with the least damage to the environment. (67) What counts are not growth in output, but the quality of services rendered. (68) Bicycles and light rail, for instance, are less resource intensive forms of transportation as automobiles are, and contribute less to GNP. (69) But a shift to mass transit and cycling for most passenger trips would enhance urban life by eliminating traffic jams, reducing smog, and make cities safer for pedestrians. (70) GDP would go up, but overall well-being would increase--underscoring the need for new indicators of progress. (71) Likewise, investing in water-efficient applicants and irrigation systems in-stead of building more dams and diversion canals would meet water needs with less harm for to the environment. (72) Since massive water projects consume resources than efficiency investments do, GNP would tend to decline. (73) But quality of living would improve. (74) It becomes clearly that striving to boost GNP is often inappropriate and counterproductive. (75) As ecologist and philosopher Garrett Hardin puts them. "For a statesman to try to maximize the GNP is about as sensible as for a composer of music to try to maximize the number of notes in symphony./
