问题 In general,our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucraticmanagement in which man becomes a small,well-oiled cog in the machinery.The oiling is donewith higher wages,well-ventilated factories and piped music,and by psychologists and“human-relations”experts;yet all this oiling does not alter the fact that man has become powerless。that hedoes not wholeheartedly participate in his work and that he is bored with it.In fact,the blue andthe white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automatedmachines and bureaucratic management.
The worker and employee are anxious,not only because they might find themselves out of ajob;they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life.
They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence asemotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.
Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious.Their lives are no less empty thanthose of their subordinates.They are even more insecure in some respects.They are in a highlycompetitive race.To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matterof self-respect.When they apply for their first job,they are tested for intelligence as well as for theright mixture of submissiveness and independence.From that moment on they are tested again andagain--by the psychologists,for whom testing is a big business,and by their superiors,who judgetheir behavior,sociability,capacity to get along,et@C@This constant need to prove that one is as goodas or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress,the very causes ofunhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting that we should return to the preindustrial mode of production or to nineteenthcentury“free enterprise”capitalism?Certainly not.Problems are never solved by returning to astage which one has already outgrown.I suggest transforming our social system for a bureaucraticallymanaged industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into ahumanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities--those of love and ofreason--are the aims of all social arrangements.Production and consumption should serve only asmeans to this end,and should be prevented from ruling man.
To solve the present social problems the author suggests that we should______.

选项 A、resort to the production mode of our ancestors
B、offer higher wages to the workers and employees
C、enable man to fully develop his potentialities
D、take the fundamental realities for granted

答案C

解析 细节推理题。本题问的是作者的结论。第四段第四句指出“我建议把我们的社会制度从以最大限度的生产和最大限度的消费为目的的官僚主义管理工业体制变成一个充分发挥人的潜能——如爱和理性的潜能——为目的的人道主义工业体制”,这和选项C“使人能充分发挥自己的潜能”意思一致。故为正确答案。选项A“求助于祖先的生产方式”;选项B“给工人和雇员提高工资”和选项D“接受这些基本现实”这三项在文中未提到。
