It
is a familiar scene these days:
employees tak ing newly
laid-
off (
下岗
)
co-
workers out for a drink
for
comfort.
But
which
side
deserves
sympathy
more, the jobless
or the still employed? On
March 6,
researchers at a conference at the
University of Cambridge heard data
suggesting it's the latter.
Brendan
Burchell, a Cambridge
sociologist,
presented his analysis based on
various
surveys conducted across Europe. The
data suggest that employed people who
feel
insecure in their jobs show
similar levels of
anxiety and
depression as those who are
unemployed.
Although a newly jobless
person's
mental health may “bottom out” after
about six months, and then even begin
to
improve
，
the
mental state of people who are
continuously worried about losing their
job
“
just continues to get
worse and worse
，”
Burchell says.
1
Evolutionary psychologists support
this theory by arguing that human
beings feel
more stress during times of
insecurity because
they sense an
immediate but invisible threat.
Patients have been known to experience
higher levels of
anxiety
，
for
example
，
while
waiting for examination results than
knowing
what they are suffering
from
－
even if the
result is cancer. It's better to get
the bad news
and start doing something
about it rather than
wait with anxiety.
When the uncertainty
continues, people
stay in a nonstop “fig
ht or
flight”
response
，
which leads to
damaging
stress.
But not every
employee in insecure
industries has
such a discouraging view,
Burchell
says. In general, women get on better.
While reporting higher levels of
anxiety than
men when directly
questioned, women scored
lower in
stress on the GHQ 12, even when
they
had a job they felt insecure about losing.
As Burchell explains,
“
For women, most
studies show that any
job
－
it doesn't matter
whether it is secure or
insecure
－
gives
psychological improvement over
unemployment.
”
Burchell
supposes
that
the difference in men is
that they tend to
2
feel pressure not only to
be employed
，
but also
to be the primary
breadwinner
，
and that more
of a man's self-
worth
depends on his job.
1. Why do
researchers think the still employed
deserve sympathy
more
？
A.
They have to do more work since
then.
B. They have no chance to find better
jobs.
C. They have to
work with inexperienced
workers.
D. They constantly worry about losing
their jobs.
2. What is
mos
t likely to cause a “fight or
flight”
response
？
A.
Not having a paid job.
B. Fierce competition for
jobs.
C. Not knowing what will happen.
D.
Pressure to work longer hours.
3. What
will the writer talk about following
the last
paragraph
？
A.
Advice on preparing a job interview.
B. Advice to
those in insecure industries.
C. Some
knowledge of psychology.
D. Difference in men and
women.
4. What could be the best title
for the text
？

A. Is It Less Stressful to
Get Laid Off
Than Stay
On
？
B. Should Greater Sympathy
Be Given to
the
Jobless

C. Do Employees
Bear More Stress Than

？
D. Do Men or
Women Show Higher
Levels of
Anxiety

How Can I Fight
Laziness
？
Lazy people
will never amount to
anything in life.
However, laziness can be
5
defeated once a few changes
have been made
in your mind.
__1__
Many people lack sleep
constantly, since they stay up too late
and get
up too early to prepare for
work. These people
have little
motivation once they arrive home.
Laziness works hand in hand with a lack
of
motivation and a tendency to put off
things.
By adjusting your sleep
schedule to provide a
few more hours of
meaningful rest, you can
fight laziness
throughout the day.
Another way to fight
laziness is to
change your mind from
passive to active.
Some people treat
their lives as if they were
pushed from
task to task. Others take a more
proactive
approach
，
viewing each task
as a
challenge they must overcome
alone.
__2__
Some
people
fight
laziness
by
removing
the temptations
(
诱惑
) that
surround them. A television in the
living room
may provide entertainment,
but watching too
much TV often
contributes to laziness.
__3__
Complete a few tasks and reward
yourself with what you enjoy, such as a
good
dinner or a film.
Laziness can
also be a lasting
problem at home.
Couples and children may
6
all have different energy
levels, but laziness
can be spread if
not dealt with immediately.
__4__ Be
the first to collect and wash dishes
after a meal. Others in the home may
eventually
follow
your
example
and
perform
their own task. It is
difficult to
practice laziness when you
are surrounded by
motivated people.
__5__ Enough
exercise and a
balanced diet can help
you to develop a
healthy lifestyle,
thus enabling you to have
more energy
and help lift your spirits.
A. One way
to fight laziness is to get enough
sleep.
B. Knowing how to
fight laziness is
important.
C. Finally, taking exercise regularly
can help
you
fight laziness.
D. To fight family laziness, set an
example.
E. With
strong determination, you will be
able to
achieve your goal.
F. Create a reward system for
yourself
，
just as
parents do for a child.
G.
Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in
charge
of your own life.
