In our society the razor of necessity cuts close. You must make a buck to survive the day. You must work to make a buck: The job is often a chore, rarely a delight. No matter how demeaning the task, no matter’ how it’dulls the senses or breaks the spirit, one must work. Lately there has been a questioning of this "work ethic", especially by the young. Strangely enough, it has touched off profound grievances in others hitherto silent and anonymous.
Unexpected precincts are being heard from in a show of discontent by blue collar and white. On the evening bus the tense, pinched faces of young file clerks and elderly secretaries tell us more than we care to know. On the expressways middle-management men pose without grace behind their wheels, as they flee city and job.
In all, there is more than a slight ache. And there dangles the impertinent question: Should there not be another increment, earned though not yet received, to one’ s daily work— an acknowledgment of a man’s being? In fact, what all of us are looking for is a calling, not just a job. Jobs atone are not being e-nough for people.
The phrase "increment, earned though not received" in the third paragraph means ____.
选项
A、money one has earned and will be paid later
B、money one has earned, but will not be paid to him/her
C、something that one earns through a job, but is not counted in terms of pay
D、something that onereams that has nothing to do with his or her job
答案
C
解析
解答本题关键在于理解“In fact,what all of us are looking for is a calling,not just a job.(应该从工作中得到乐趣,而不仅仅是为了拿到工资)”。因此正确答案为C。
