For most of human history rich people had the most leisure. On the other hand, the poor have typically worked persistently. Hans-Joachim Voth, an economic historian, says that in 19th century you could tell how poor somebody was by how【C1】________they worked.
Today things are【C2】________. Overall working hours have【C3】________over the past century. But the rich have begun to work longer hours than the poor.
There are a number of【C4】________One is that higher wages make leisure more expensive: if people take time【C5】________they give up more money. Since the 1980s the【C6】________of those at the top have risen strongly, while those below the median have stood still or fallen. Thus rising【C7】________encourages the rich to work more and the poor to work less.
The【C8】________of work and leisure in the rich world has also changed. Back in 1899 Thorstein Veblen offered his【C9】________on things. He argued that leisure was a "badge of hon-or". Rich people could get others to do the【C10】________, repetitive work. Yet Veblen’s leisure class was not【C11】________. Rather they engaged in "exploit":【C12】________and creative activities such as writing, charity and【C13】________.
Veblen’s theory needs【C14】________Work in advanced economies has become more【C15】________and intellectual. There are fewer really dull jobs, like lift-operating, and more【C16】________ones, like fashion design. That means more people than ever can enjoy "exploit" at the【C17】________. Work has come to offer the sort of pleasures that rich people used to【C18】________in their leisure time. On the other hand, leisure is【C19】________a sign of social power. Instead it【C20】________uselessness and unemployment
【C7】
选项
A、comparison
B、comprehension
C、inflation
D、inequality
答案
D
解析
此处需要一个名词对上句所说现象进行总结。上句提及“顶层的_______迅猛增长”,而“中层以下的则停滞不前或有所下降”。这是一种“不平等”,故选D项inequality“不平等”。上句有对上层和中下层的人进行“比较”(A项comparison),但“比较”本身并不会导致富人更愿意工作。B项comprehension“理解”和C项inflation“通货膨胀”均与主题无关。
