Paper Review

Title: The Mobile Phone, Perpetual Contact and Time Pressure

Author: Michael Bittman, Judith E. Brown

The International Telecommunication Union reported 4.6 billion mobile accounts worldwide at the end of 2009, about 3.3 billion more than fixed line phones. As mobile phones have overtaken fixed line phones in usage, the 21 impact of the mobile phone on work–life balance has raised considerable concern. Yet the authors of this paper conclude that these fears are exaggerated. Although the pace of work and time pressures may be greater since the arrival of the mobile phone, the technology also allows for increased 22 and the “softening” of schedules, meaning that plans can be rearranged to adjust people’s personal or work lives.

The authors studied a sample of nearly 2,000 workers who completed questionnaires and kept diaries to determine when, how often, and in what 23 these workers used their mobile phones. The researchers also evaluated records of phone traffic and usage reports from participants’ handsets. The data revealed that rather than intruding on leisure time, the phone’s “always-on” nature allowed employees to better 24 their schedules and avoid work–life pressures. And although concerns about mobile phones often assume that they tie up people to work, the call records indicated that they are used 25 to stay in touch with family and friends. 26 calls accounted for 61 percent of all calls; only 21 percent were work related.

However, the data did reveal a correlation between mobile phones and workplace pressure, especially among male respondents, who were more 27 to report that the mobile phone made them feel short on time. The authors argue that workers’ stress is raised because the mobile phone has enabled management to stay in 28 contact with them. Still, the authors did not find out any 29 to suggest that the mobile phone stretched the work time beyond employees’ ability to deal with.

III Reading

(A)

While some of the best professional big-wave surfers in the world looked out over 40-foot waves crashing onto the shores of Oahu’s Waimea Bay, the __30__ seemed disappointingly clear. The Quicksilver Invitation surfing competition had to be __31__. The waves were just too big.

But on that same late-January day, relatively unknown big-wave rider Greg Russ had to be physically __32__ by lifeguards from launching out into the biggest surf in more than a decade. The guards were interfering with his right to make __33__, he said.

The incentive: $50,000 from the surf-equipment manufacturer K2 to anyone who can ride the biggest wave of the year and get it __34__.

From ice climbing to mountain biking to big-wave surfing, more people are becoming extreme athletes, putting their lives in danger for the __35__ thrill. But the K2 contest, and the growing popularity of extreme sports worldwide, has ___36___ questions about the financial and human consequence for athletes and rescuers who watch over them. For many, the incident at Waimea perfectly __37__ the dangers unleashed when big money, big egos, and big challenges are mixed.

Although exact figures on how many extreme athletes exist are hard to come by, isolated statistical evidence __38__ a rapid increase. For example, the number of climbers __39__ to climb Alaska’s 20,300-foot Mt. McKinley ---the tallest peak in North America---increased from 695 in 1984 to 1100 in 1997.

“It’s a numbers deal, and clearly there are more people getting hurt than there were when I started doing__40__ 20 years ago,” says Dan Burnett, a mission coordinator with the all-volunteer Summit County Search and Rescue Group in Colorado. “We’re responding in areas now that even four years ago I would have thought we didn’t need to check because __41__goes there.”

Some efforts have been made toward creating a(n) __42__ extreme-sports world. Three years ago, Denali National Park in Alaska, __43__, instituted a mandatory $ 150 fee for climbers seeking to ascend Mt. McKinley. The fee pays for an educational program that park rangers credit with dramatically __44__ the number of search-and-rescue missions and fatalities.

(B)

Despite social myths to the contrary, the best predictor of future wealth is the family into which you are born. Each year, the business magazine Forbes publishes a list of the “Forbes 400”—the four hundred wealthiest families and individuals in the country.

Of all the wealth represented on the Forbes 400 list, more than half is inherited. Those on the list who could be called “self-made” were not typically of modest origins; most inherited significant assets (资产). Those in the upper class with newly acquired wealth are known as the nouveau riche. Although they may have vast amounts of money, they are often not accepted into “old rich” circles.

The upper middle class includes those with high incomes and high social reputation. They tend to be well-educated professionals or business executives. Their earnings can be quite high indeed—successful business executives can earn millions of dollars a year. It is difficult to estimate exactly how many people fall into this group because of the difficulty of drawing lines between the upper, upper middle, and middle class. Indeed, the upper middle class is often thought of as “middle class” because their lifestyle sets the standard to which many long for, but this lifestyle is simply beyond the means of a majority of people in the United States.

The middle class is hard to define; in part, being “middle class” is more than just economic position. By far the majority of Americans identify themselves as middle class even though they vary widely in lifestyle and in resources at their disposal. But the idea that the United States is an open-class system leads many to think that the majority have a middle-class lifestyle because, in general, people tend not to want to recognize class distinctions in the United States. Thus, the middle class becomes the common concept even though many who call themselves middle class have a weak hold on this class position.

The lower class is composed primarily of the displaced and poor. People in this class have little formal education and are often unemployed or working in minimum-wage jobs. Forty percent of the poor work; 10 percent work year-round and full time—a proportion that has generally increased over time. Recently, the concept of the underclass has been added to the lower class. The underclass includes those who have been left behind by contemporary economic developments. Rejected from the economic system, those in the underclass may become dependent on public assistance or illegal activities.

45. Why does the author mention the “Forbes 400” in the passage?

A. To explain the meaning of the listing that appears every year.

B. To cast doubt on the claim that family income predicts individual wealth.

C. To give examples of successful people who have modest family connections.

D. To support the statement that most wealthy people inherit their money.

46. Why do most people identify themselves as middle class in the United States?

A. They have about the same lifestyle as everyone else in the country.

B. They don’t really know how to define their status because it is unclear.

C. They prefer not to admit that there are class distinctions in the United States.

D. They identify themselves with the majority who have normal lifestyles.

47. According to the passage, what can be inferred about poor people in the United States?

A. They are not able to find entry-level jobs.

B. They work in jobs that require little education.

C. They are service workers and manual laborers.

D. They do not try to find employment.

48. According to the passage, why has the underclass emerged?

A. Changes in the economy have caused an entire class of people to survive by welfare or

crime.

B. The increase in crime has supported a new class of people who live by engaging in illegal

activities.

C. The new term was necessary because the lower class enjoyed a higher lifestyle than it had

previously.

D. Minimum-wage jobs no longer support a class of people at a standard level in the

economic system..

(C)

Who’s in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it’s other people—society, colleagues, friend, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry (模仿), their passions a quotation.”

So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug—we are addicted to (沉溺于) it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix (一剂毒品), we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.

But just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they’re more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.

So how can we take back control? I think there’s only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values—not values imposed from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value system of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)

49. By saying “Most people are other people……”, Oscar Wilde means that most people’s

thoughts __________________.

50. What happens to people if they care too much for the approval of others?

51. Why is it unreliable for us to live by the opinions of others?

52. According to the author, we can take back control by _______________________.

Thanks to Maria Sibylla Merian, we know the truth about these winged insects. She began collecting, studying, and drawing them when she was 13. She was one of the few naturalists of her time to actually study live insects. It was through her study of caterpillars that she discovered the truth about their life cycles. Lucy Stone If you know a woman who keeps her own surname after marriage, she is continuing a tradition started by Lucy Stone.
