问题     Maybe unemployment isn’t so bad after all. A new study says that having a demanding, unstable and thankless job may make you even【C1】______ than not having a job at all.
    【C2】______ that a paid position gives workers purpose and a structured role, researchers had【C3】______ thought that having any job would make a person happier than being【C4】______. That turns out to be true if you move into a high-quality job—but taking a bad job is【C5】______ to mental health.
    Australian National University researchers looked at how various psychosocial work attributes affect【C6】______. They found that poor-quality jobs— those with high demands, low control over decision making, low job【C7】______ and an effort-reward imbalance—had more adverse effects on mental health than joblessness.
    Moving from unemployment to a job with high psychosocial quality was associated with【C8】______ in mental health, the authors said.【C9】______, the mental health of people in the least-satisfying jobs declined the【C10】______ over time—and the worse the job, the more it affected workers’ welfare.
    These findings【C11】______ the importance of employment to a person’s welfare. Rather than seeking a new job, the study suggests, people who are unemployed or【C12】______ in lousy work should seek new【C13】______ that offer more security, autonomy and a【C14】______ workload. But that’s a lot【C15】______ said than done.
    【C16】______ employers could be persuaded to be more【C17】______ of the mental health of their workers— happier employees are a【C18】______ to their employers. "The【C19】______ of work conditions," the researchers noted, "may【C20】______ a health cost, which over the longer term will be both economically and socially counterproductive."
【C8】
选项 A、increases
B、growth
C、improvements
D、development
答案C
解析 词义辨析题。之前失业，现在得到一份社会心理质量较高的工作，这对于精神健康应该有积极影响，所以选C项，improvement“发展，提高”。increases“增加，增长”，强调数量的增加，不符合此处的语境；growth“生长过程，发展”，着重成长成熟的发展过程，不适合此处的语境；development“发展”，当表示某方面的发展时，后面通常接of，如development of society。
