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．
From the passage we can infer that real happiness of life belongs to those______．
选项 A、who are at the bottom of the society
B、who are higher up in their social status
C、who prove better than their fellow-competitors
D、who could keep far away from this competitive world
答案D
解析 细节推理题。本题问从这段中我们推论出真正幸福的生活属于谁。第三段最后一句指出“这种需要不断证明自己与竞争对手同样优秀或者超过对手从而不断的产生忧虑和压力，这正是不幸和疾病的起因”。反过来说，摆脱竞争所造成的忧虑和压力就可以得到真正的幸福和乐趣，这和选项D“远离竞争的世界”意思一致。其它三类人，如选项A“在社会底层的人”：选项B“在社会上层的人”；选项C“证明比竞争对手好的人”他们都有忧虑，因此，也就不幸福、不快乐。
