Opinion polls are now beginning to show an unwilling general agreement that, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on, high unemployment is probably here to stay. This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely.
But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future of work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? Should we not rather encourage many other ways for self-respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work?
The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most people’s work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a discouraging thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom.
Employment became widespread when the enclosures (圈地运动) of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people’s homes. Later, as transport improved, first by rail and then by road, people traveled longer distances to their places employment until eventually, many people’s work lost all connection with their home lives and places in which they lived.
Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. It became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife.
All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the impractical goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs.
As a result of the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries, ______.
选项
A、people were no longer legally entitled to own land
B、people were forced to look elsewhere for means of supporting themselves
C、people were not adequately compensated for the loss of their land
D、people were badly paid for the work they managed to find
答案
B
解析
细节题。从第四段第一句可以得知,17、18世纪的圈地运动剥夺了许多人对土地的使用,因而也剥夺了自己谋生的手段。B项“人们被迫去别的地方寻找养活自己的方法”符合题意,是正确答案。

我国民间一直有“春捂秋冻”的说法,意思是劝人们春天不要急着脱掉棉衣,秋天也不要刚冷就穿得太多。因为春天慢慢地减衣服是不降低机体的抵抗力,而秋天慢慢地增加衣服,就是提高机体的抵抗力,所以说“春捂秋冻”能提高人体的抵抗力。以下哪项为真,则最能削弱上述论断?
