问题     If the technological revolution continues to have its effects, there will be fewer and fewer jobs available , particularly to school-leavers and those over the age of fifty. 【B1】______there are only half the number of jobs in the future, men and women will have to share them. Two people will【B2】______work only twenty hours each【B3】______the forty they are currently【B4】______to. It is a well-known fact that those who suffer from stress at work are often not high-powered executives but【B5】______workers doing boring, 【B6】______jobs, especially those on production lines. Unemployment often has a【B7】______effect on its victims.

    Many have already【B9】______pills and tablets to【B10】______sleeplessness and anxiety, two of the symptoms of long-term stress and depression. In America, we【B11】______$ 650 million a year on different kinds of medicines. We【B12】______an astonishing three million sleeping tablets every night. 【B13】______these "drug of the mind" can be extremely useful in cases of crisis, the majority of patients would be【B14】______without them.

【B14】
选项 A、deteriorating
B、better off
C、worsening
D、suffering
答案B
解析 本题考查动词词义辨析。因为主从句有转折关系，并且作者对服药持反对态度，可以推断如果不吃药，人们也不会恶化、变得不好或者受折磨，因此排除[A]deteriorating“恶化”；[C]worsening“变坏”和[D]suffering“受折磨”。[B]better off“境况不错”，符合文意，故为正确答案。
