“THE SERVANT”(1963)is one of those films that it is impossible to forget.The servant exploits his master’s weaknesses until he turns the tables:the story ends with a cringing master ministering to a lordly servant.It is hard to watch it today without thinking of another awkward relationship——the one between business folk and their smartphones.
Smart devices are sometimes empowering.They put a world of information at our fingertips.But for most people the servant has become the master.Not long ago only doctors were on call all the time.Now everybody is.Bosses think nothing of invading their employees’ free time.Work invades the home far more than domestic chores invade the office.
Hyperconnectivity exaggerates the decline of certainty and the general cult of flexibility.Smartphones make it easier for managers to change their minds at the last moment.Employees find it ever harder to distinguish between “on-time” and “off-time”——and indeed between real work and make-work.None of this is good for businesspeople’s marriages or mental health.It may be bad for business,too.When bosses change their minds at the last minute,it is hard to plan for the future.
How can we reap the benefits of connectivity without becoming its slaves?One solution is digital dieting.Banning browsing before breakfast can reintroduce a small amount of civilization.Banning texting at weekends or,say,on Thursdays,can really show the iPhone who is boss.
The problem with this approach is that it works only if you live on a desert island or at the bottom of a lake.Leslie Perlow of Harvard Business School argues that for most people the only way to break the 24/7 habit is to act collectively rather than individually.One of the world’s most hard-working organisations,the Boston Consulting Group,introduced rules about when people were expected to be offline,and encouraged them to work together to make this possible.Eventually it forced people to work more productively while reducing burnout.
Ms Perlow’s advice should be taken seriously.The problem of hyperconnectivity will only get worse,as smartphones become smarter and young digital natives take over the workforce.But ultimately it is up to companies to outsmart the smartphones by insisting that everyone turn them off from time to time.
The author mentions the film in the first paragraph in order to__________.
选项
A、introduce the film to people
B、introduce the topic
C、review it because it is unforgettable
D、remind people of another similar relationship
答案
B
解析
推断题。本题实际考查文章行文脉络。议论文中通过例子、热点等引出议论的话题是常见的做法。本文第一段提到并介绍了《仆人》这部电影的主要内容,就是因为文章主要讨论的智能设备与人们的关系与此类似,智能设备本是“仆人”,生活中却逐渐上升为“主人”,因为它俨然控制了人们的生活。因此选B项。D项说法也对,但是从文章结构的考查目的出发,B项是最佳选项。故本题选B。
