4 . People have been curious for centuries about a future without work. Some imagine that the coining work-free world will be defined by inequality: A few people will own all the wealth, and the masses will struggle in a wasteland. A different prediction holds that without jobs to give their lives meaning, people will simply become lazy and depressed. But it doesn’t necessarily follow from findings like these that a world without work would be filled with dissatisfaction. Such visions (想象) are based on the downsides of being unemployed in a society built on the downsides of employment. In the absence of work, a society designed with other ends in mind could provide strikingly different circumstances for the future of labor and leisure.

These days, spare time is relatively rare for most workers. “When I come home from a hard day’s work, I often feel tired,” says John Danaher, a lecturer at the National University of Ireland, adding, “In a world in which I don’t have to work, I might feel rather different” — perhaps different enough to throw himself into a hobby with the enthusiasm usually reserved for professional matters.

Daniel Everett, an anthropologist (人类学家) at Bentley University, studied a group of hunter-gatherers in the Amazon called the Piraha (拉哈人) for years. According to Everett, while some might consider hunting and gathering work, hunter-gatherers don’t. “They think of it as fun,” he says. “They don’t have a concept of work the way we do.” Everett described a typical day for the Piraha: A man might get up, spend a few hours fishing, have a barbecue, and play until the evening.

Does this relaxing life lead to the depression and purposelessness seen among so many of today’s unemployed? “I’ve never seen anything like depression there, except people who are physically ill,” Everett says. While many may consider work a staple (主要部分) of human life, work as it exists today is a relatively new invention in the course of thousands of years of human culture. “We think it’s bad to just sit around with nothing to do,” says Everett. “For the Piraha, it’s quite a desirable state.”

1. What does the underlined word “downsides” in paragraph two probably mean?

A．Risks.

C．Challenges.

D．Disadvantages.

2. What might John Danaher agree with?

A．Work is the most important thing in life.

B．People don’t know how to balance work and life.

C．People may live a charmed life in the work-free future.

D．Higher unemployment makes life tougher for workers.

3. What can we infer from the text?

A．In a work-free world, inequality may no longer exist.

B．Unemployment is the main reason for people’s depression.

C．The Piraha in the Amazon take interest in hunting and gathering.

D．Only professional people can have a chance to lead a work-free life.

4. Why is Daniel Everett’s study mentioned?

A．To prove John Danaher’s opinion.	B．To show a future life without work.
C．To compare different opinions on work.	D．To introduce a special group in the Amazon.

10 . If you begin a new job, it is important for you to make the right impression from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know what to do.     1    .
