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．
The author’s attitude towards industrialism might best be summarized as one of______．
选项 A、approval
B、dissatisfaction
C、suspicion
D、tolerance
答案B
解析 态度题。本题问作者对工业体制的态度。本文作者指出了现代工业社会的种种弊端：第一段，人的地位微不足道；第二段，工人与雇员都感到忧虑；第三段，上层社会的人们也感到忧虑。最后作者提出了改变这种社会体制所提的建议。因此不难得出，作者认为现行的industrialism不好，所以他的态度很明显就是不满和反对，故B为正确答案。
