For most of human history rich people had the most leisure. On the flip side, the poor had to work 【C1】______. Hans-Joachim Voth, an economic historian, says that in 19th century you could tell how poor somebody was by how long they worked. Today things are different. Overall working hours have 【C2】______ over the past century. But the rich have begun to work longer hours than the poor.
There are a number of 【C3】______. One is that higher wages make leisure more expensive: if people take time off they give up more money. Since the 1980s the salaries of those at the top have risen strongly, while those below the median have stood still or fallen. Thus rising 【C4】______ encourages the rich to work more and the poor to work less.
The status of work and leisure in the rich world has also changed. Back in 1899 Thorstein Ve- blen offered his 【C5】______ on things. He argued that leisure was a "badge of honor". Rich people could get others to do the dirty, 【C6】______ work. Yet Veblen’s leisure class was not idle. Rather they 【C7】______ in "exploit": challenging and creative activities such as writing, charity and debating.
Veblen’s theory needs 【C8】______. Work in advanced economies has become more knowledge-intensive and 【C9】______. There are fewer really dull jobs, like lift-operating, and more glamorous ones, like fashion design. That means more people than ever can enjoy "exploit" at the office. Work has come to offer the sort of pleasures that rich people used to seek in their leisure time. On the other hand, leisure is no longer a sign of social power. Instead it 【C10】______ uselessness and unemployment.
【C4】
选项
答案
G
解析
空格前为形容词rising,空格后encourages是动词第三人称单数,因此空格处需填入名词单数形式或不可数名词。由空格前一句可知,高层的薪水猛增,而中层以下人群薪水却不变,甚至下降。正是收入的这种不均等现象促使富人多工作,穷人少工作(encourages the rich to work more and the poor to work less)。词库中的名词inequality“不平等”符合此处语义,故选G项。
