    Shift Work Link to Increased Risk of Heart Problems

    Shift workers are slightly more at risk of having a heart attack or stroke than day workers,research suggests.
    An analysis of studies involving more than 2 million workers in the British Medical Journal said shift
    work can disrupt the body clock and have a negative effect on lifestyle.It has previously been linked to an
    increased risk of high blood pressure and diabetes.
    Limiting night shifts would help workers cope,experts said.
    The team of researchers from Canada and Norway analyzed 34 studies.In total,there were 17,359
    coronary events of some kind,including cardiac arrests,6,598 heart attacks and 1,854 strokes caused by
    lack of blood to the brain.These events were more common in shift workers than in other people.
    The BMJ study calculated that shift work was linked to a 23%increased risk of heart attack,24%
    increased risk of coronary event and 5%increased risk of stroke.But they also said shift work was not linked
    to increased mortality rates from heart problems and that the relative risks associated with heart problems
    were"modest".
    Dan Hackam,associate professor at Western University,London, Ontario in Canada,said shift workers
    were more prone to sleeping and eating badly."Night shift workers are up all the time and they don't have
    a defined rest period.They are in a state of perpetual nervous system activation which is bad for things like
    obesity and cholesterol,"he said.
    The authors say that screening programs could help identify and treat risk factors for shift workers,such
    as high blood pressure and cholesterol levels.They add that shift workers could also be educated about what
    symptoms to look out for,which might indicate early heart problems.
    Jane White,research and information services manager at the Institution of Occupational Safety and
    Health,said there were complex issues surrounding shift work."It can result in disturbed appetite and
    digestion,reliance on sedatives and/or stimulants,as well as social and domestic problems."These can
    affect performance,increase the likelihood of errors and accidents at work,and even have a negative effect
    on health.She said the effects of shift work needed to be well managed.
    "Avoiding permanent night shifts,limiting shifts to a maximum of 12 hours and ensuring workers have a
    minimum of two full nights'sleep between day and night shifts are simple,practical solutions that can help
    people to cope with shift work."

    From Paragraph Six it can be inferred that_________.
    A:shift workers have no good food to eat
    B:shift workers don't know how to define rest period
    C:a worker of high cholesterol level is likely to suffer more from shift work
    D:shift workers have no place to sleep comfortably

    答案:C
    解析:
    由文章第一段的内容可知,进行轮班工作的人心脏病发作和中风的几率比仅在白天工作的人稍微高点,并非很多,故A为正确答案。
    prevent的意思为“防止,阻止······的发生”;control的意思为“控制”;cut off的意思为 “中断,终止”;throw into disorder的意思为“扰乱······,使不正常”。disrupt的意思为“扰乱”, 和throw into disorder的意思接近。故D为正确答案。
    由文章第八段的第二句“It can result in disturbed appetite and digestion, reliance on sedatives and/or stimulants, as well as social and domestic problems.”可知,A、B、C三项都是进行 轮班工作的坏处,故选D。
    由第六段的最后一句中“They are in a state of perpetual nervous system activation which is bad for things like obesity and cholesterol”可知,夜班工作对肥胖和胆固醇疾病不利,也就是说, 有此两种疾病的人不适合进行轮班工作。其余各项都没能正确理解原文的意思。
    通读文章可知,本篇文章主要是针对轮班工作者的健康问题进行了专门的探讨,这篇 文章最可能出现在健康杂志上,故B为正确答案。第二篇 本篇文章主要讲述了大量发展中国家的艾滋病患者由于没有得治疗而死去的事情。文章指 出应加强对艾滋病患者的救治,并提出了三种具体的救治办法。

    The Worker 's Role in Management
    Traditionally,it has been the workers'role to work and management's role to manage.Managers have planned and directed the firm's operations with little thought of consulting the labor force.Managers have rarely felt compelled(被迫的)to obtain the workers ' opinions or to explain their decisions to their employees.At most,companies have provided"suggestion boxes"in which workers could place ideas for improving procedures.In recent years,however,many management specialists have been arguing that workers are more than sellers of labor-they have a vital stake in the company and may be able to make significant contributions to its management.Furthermore,major company decisions profoundly affect workers and their dependents.This is
    particularly true of plant closings,which may put thousands on the unemployment lines.Should workers, then,play a stronger role in management?
    Workers should have a role in management.At the very least,the labor force should be informed of major policy decisions(A common complaint among rank-and-file workers is the lack of information about company policies and actions).Between 1980 and 1985 about five million workers were the victims of plant closings and permanent layoffs(失业),often with no warning.At least 90 days'notice ought to be given in such instances so that workers have time to adjust.Management should consult workers before closing a plant,because the workers might be able to suggest ways of improving productivity and reducing costs and might be willing to make concessions that will help keep the plant operating.
    It should become a general practice to include workers in some managerial decision making.There ought to be representatives of the workers on the firm's board of directors or other major policymaking groups.If rank-and-file workers are given a voice in the planning and management of the work flow,they will help to make improvements,their morale will rise,and their productivity will increase.As a further incentive,they must be given a share in the company's profits.This can be done through employee stock-ownership plans,bonuses,or rewards for efficiency and productivity.Finally,when a plant can no longer operate at a profit,the workers should be given the opportunity to purchase the plant and run it themselves.

    According to the passage,what happened between 1980 and 1985?
    A:Managers consulted workers before closing a plant.
    B:Workers did not make necessary concessions.
    C:About five million workers were laid off without advance notice.
    D:Many companies were closed because of strikes.

    答案:C
    解析:
    由文章第一段第三句“Managershaverarelyfeltcompelled…”可知,管理者很少去关注员工的想法,故选A。
    由文章第一段第五句及其后内容可知,很多管理学专家称工人并不仅仅是劳动力出卖者,他们和公司的利益休戚相关,或许可以为公司的管理做出巨大贡献,所以工人在公司的管理中应该享有发言权。故本题选D。
    根据该词所在句子的内容可知,对公司的决策和行动缺乏知悉度这种情况在基层工人中会出现,故选B。
    由文章第二段第三句可知,在1980到1985年间,大约有500万工人在未被提前告知的情况下成为了工厂停工倒闭的受害者,故选C。
    由文章最后一段第三句的内容可知,如果普通工人能在公司计划以及流程运营中具有发言权,就会使他们进行改进,增长士气,提高生产率,故选A。第三篇本文主要介绍了肥胖症这一世界性的问题。并论述了肥胖对身体产生的危害,以及可以对肥胖采取的预防机制。

      Egyptian archaeologists say they have discovered tombs of workers who helped build the country's largest pyramid. As Keith Adams reports, the discovery sheds light on how they lived. The tombs made from bricks of dried mud date back 4,500 years. According to Egypt's head of antiquities, Zahi Hawass, they revealed far from being slaves. Those who toiled on the Great Pyramid were free and enjoyed relatively good working conditions. He says their location, so close to the pyramid, which itself a tomb for their king, proves they weren’t of the slave class.
