Think twice next time someone asks you for "five minutes of your time" —it could cost you more than you think. A British professor has【S1】______a mathematical formula to help people find out【S2】______how much an hour of their time is worth. Professor Ian Walker of Warwick University【S3】______the value of time after research showed that over 80 percent of【S4】______would buy more time if they could afford it. "Traditionally, salaries have【S5】______an indication of how we are valued at work," Walker, an【S6】______professor, said in a statement. "However, by looking at salaries against taxation, the cost of living and【S7】______variations, we can see how much an hour of our time is worth whether at work or home." The formula could help in making【S8】______, such as whether to cook a meal or to get a takeaway, or whether to take【S9】______transport or a taxi. Visitors to www. Barclaycard. co. uk/timeismoney can find out the value of an hour of their time by entering their salary, the region where they work and what kind of work they do. For example, for a professional working in London and earning 25000 pounds a year, an hour would be worth 6.44 pounds. Cooking dinner would cost 5.37 pounds—【S10】______to get a takeaway, once you add the cost of the raw materials needed to make it yourself. Brushing your teeth comes at 32 pence—perhaps hard to find someone to do it for you for less.
A)given F)economics K)cheaper
B)investigated G)students L)happily
C)regional H)exactly M)respondents
D)developed I)psychology N)earned
E)decisions J)public O)easy
【S6】
选项
答案
F
解析
名词辨义题。空格处需要一个修饰教授的词,来表明沃克是一位活跃在哪个领域的教授。前面的an已经限定了后面的表示科目、研究领域的词必须与元音发音开头,而且本篇文章是在讨论时间的价值,economics“经济学”最符合题意。
