In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive.Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied.But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity?There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker"s life more enjoyable,it does not actually make him work harder.As far as increasing productivity is concerned,then variety is not an important factor. Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and ther6 is no doubt that this is true.The problem is that this.kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way.Thus while freedom of choice may be important,there is usually very little that can be done to create it.Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making.In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product.Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than a large one so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line.It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor,therefore,but it is also one we can do something about. To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity?The workers themselves cer-tainly think this important.But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring.Money may explain demands for shorter working hours.Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting,they will neither want more money,nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.

Directions: You will hear three dialogues or monologues. Before listening to each one, you will have 5 seconds to read each of the questions which accompany it. While listening, answer each question by choosing A, B, C or D. After listening, you will have 10 seconds to check your answer to each question. You will hear each piece ONLY ONCE.
听力原文: One of the first questions anybody asks about a newborn is, "What is the baby's name?" Faced with this tiny pink newborn, we want to put a name to it; as if by doing so, we welcome it to this world of individuals. We always name the things we love; a small child will give names to even his tiniest toys, or his well-chewed blanket. And the difference between "Blankie" and the blanket is an entire personality.
There are many ways to choose a name for a baby. One of the most common is to use an old family name. If the family tie is strong enough, parents are often willing to overlook an unpleasant feeling or meaning. If all the men for five generations have been named Brendan, who are you to complain that the name means "smelly hair?"
But inspiration need not be limited to the family tree. Pick an attribute; pick the name of the Italian city where the baby was born. Name the baby after your favorite poet, or an interesting saint.
It can be difficult to find the perfect name for your baby, but the beauty of the process is this: by the time the baby is a few months old, his personality erases all other associations the name may hold. The evil snake, or the much loved poet, fades away; and the name becomes quite simply the name of your child; and you will have made the right choice.
What do we often do with the things we love?
A.Ask for their names.
B.Name babies after them.
C.Put down their names.
D.Choose names for them.
A.have no solution for
B.are faced with
C.depressed by
D.lose patience with

Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it.

It would seem that not only is the degree of workers' contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about.
To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps ifwe succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.

Another serious issue is how to provide good transport to their citizens. Many world' s major cities are already struggling with out-of-date transport infrastructures. How can they deal with the additional demands in the 21stcentury?
London is a good example. It was the world' s first big city--the first with a population of a mil lion people. Its enlargement was made possible by the invention of the steam engine, which powered the world's first underground railway. But its transport systems are now hopelessly out-of-date, and need urgent modernization. London' s future success depends very much on transport.
Over a million people travel into central London every day from outside the city. They, and the people who live in London, want a public transport system that is fragment, safe and environmentally friendly. What they often get, however, falls far short of that ideal. Commuters complain about disorder, cost and pollution, while businesses worry about the problems their staff have in getting to work on time. Yet, the proportion of London households that own a car grew from just over 10 per cent in the early 1950s to over 60 percent today.
As the city has become increasingly crowded and polluted, there has been a growing realization that action is needed.
It is believed that ______.
A.overpopulation causes the problems in cities
B.two-thirds of the world' s population are living in cities today
C.it isn' t difficult to solve the problems faced by cities today
D.with fewer people, we would be free from any problems
usually from one to ten dollars—can win a million dollars or more if your ticket is the winning
ticket.
We often envy these winners. How happy we would be, we think, if we suddenly had more than a million dollars in our bank account! How different the rest of our life would be!
It would certainly be different, but a recent study of thirty of these instant millionaires reveals a number of negative factors.
One of' the first changes they become aware of is a loss of privacy. They are harassed by letters and phone calls from people they don't know asking for money. They may have to move to another town or province. Sometimes they are afraid other members of the family will be kidnapped. Faced with all this stress, many lottery winners experience long periods of depression.
Their working life also changes. At first, most winners, intend to keep on working at the same job. But few of them do. A few years after they became wealthy, only seven of our thirty millionaires were working. Sometimes their fellow workers criticize them for working while others are unemployed and looking for a job.
The study concluded that sudden wealth will bring same measure of misery and possibly physical and mental illness to all lottery winners. Yet in spite of these negative factors, not a single winner was prepared to give the money back. Money may not bring happiness, but it allows us to be miserable in comfort.
How much money do people usually spend buying one lottery ticket?
A.Ten dollars.
B.One dollars.
C.One hundred dollars.
D.From one to ten dollars.
