In order to work
here the foreigner needs a work permit, which must
be applied 1 by his prospective
employer. The problem here is that the
Department of the Employment has the right to 2 or
refuse
these permits,
and there is little that can be 3 about it. It
would be extremely unwise 4 a foreign
visitor to work without a
permit, since anyone doing so is 5 to immediate
deportation. There are
some 6 to this rule, most notably
people from the Common Market countries, who are 7
to work without
permits, and who are often given 8
residence permits of up to five years. Some 9
people, such
as doctors, foreign
journalists, 10 and others, can work without
permits.
The problem with the act is not just
that some of its rules are unfair but 11 it is
administered,
and the people who
administer it.
An immigration
official has the power to stop a visitor 12 these
shores coming into the country.
If this
happens the visitor has the 13 to appeal 14 the
Immigration Appeal Tribunal. While the
appeals are being considered, the
visitor has no 15 but to wait sometimes for quite
a long time.
Critics of the law say
that immigration officials treat the 16 visitors
badly, and appear to accept
or 17 them
for no 18 reason. Which side of the political 19
you are on, there seems to be an urgent
need for a good look at the
Act, for it causes frequent argument, and in the
eyes of many real

。因此，选

At a time when the world is
short of causes for celebration, here is a
candidate: within the next
few months
women will cross the 50% threshold and become the
majority of the American workforce.
Women already 21 the majority of
university graduates in the OECD countries and the
majority of
22
workers in several rich countries, including the
United States. Women 23 many of the worlds
great companies, from Pepsico in
America to Areva in France. Womens 24 empowerment
is arguably
the
biggest social change of our times. Just a
generation ago, women were 25 confined to
repetitive,
humble jobs. They were routinely 26 to
casual sexism and were expected to 27 their
careers when
they married
and had children. Today they are running some of
the organizations that once treated
them 28 second-class citizens. Millions
of women have been given more control over their
own lives.
29 millions of brains have
been put to more productive use. Societies that
try to 30 this
trend
—
most
notably the Arab countries, but also Japan and
some southern European
countries
—
will
pay a heavy price in the form of wasted
talent and frustrated citizens.
This
revolution has been 31 with only a modicum of
friction. Men have, 32 , welcomed womens
invasion of the workplace, 33 even the
most positive changes can be incomplete or
unsatisfactory.
This particular advance
comes with two stings. The first is that women are
still 34 at the top
of companies. Only
2% of the bosses of Americas largest companies and
5% of their 35 in Britain
are women. They are also paid
significantly less than men 36 average. The second
is that juggling
work and child-rearing is difficult.
Middle-class couples routinely 37 that they have
too little
time
for their children. But the biggest losers are
poor children
—
38 in places
like America
and Britain that have 39 high levels of
female 40 in the labor force with a reluctance to
spend
public money on child
care.

上有一定的递进，
and
是并列连词，且可以表示一定的递进意
义，故
A
为正确选
项。
