In recent years many countries have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable, it doesn't actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then, variety is not an important factor.

Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important.　 The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated(复杂的) machinery. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it.

Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making.　 In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor, but it is also one we can do something about.

To what degree does more money lead to great productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours.　 Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.

1.According to the author, what advantage do varied jobs bring?

A. They increase productivity enormously.

B. They reduce boredom among workers.

C. They bring out the best in workers.

D. They relieve workers' difficulties.

2.What can we clearly see from the passage?

A. It’s practical to allow more freedom in a modern factory.

B. It's necessary to have a large number of workers.

C. It's important to raise workers’ sense of contribution.

D. It’s difficult to have more production lines.

3.The passage seems to suggest that ________.

A. more money leads to demands for shorter working hours

B. more money does not automatically create higher productivity

C. workers like more money better than more interesting jobs

D. workers expect to have both more money and more interesting jobs

4.What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. How to enrich workers'1ife.

B. How to make workers more productive.

C. How to shorten working hours.

D. How to decrease dullness in a factory.

The United States has always been a country of many cultures. Before Europeans came to North America, many groups of Native Americans lived here. Different Native American groups had different cultures. The first Europeans in the United States were from England and Holland, but immigrants came from all European countries. Many people also immigrated from Asia and Africa. Sadly, many Africans were brought to the United States as slaves. Many immigrants come from Latin America too. Today, the United States has people from more cultures than ever.

In the 19th century, people spoke of the United States as a “melting pot.” People thought that all immigrates should forget their native cultures and languages and become English-speaking Americans. They felt that people should assimilate-join American culture. However, not everyone wanted to assimilate completely. Many people tried to keep parts of their cultures, such as foods, customs, and languages. However, their children often forgot their parents’ or grandparents’ language. But most Americans, even those whose families have been here a long time, can tell the countries their relatives came from. And of course, new immigrants take great pride in their curare and language.

For all of these reasons, melting pot is no longer a good way to describe the United States. Instead, people now call the United States a “salad bowl.” They say salad bowl because in a salad, you can still see all of the individual parts (lettuce, tomato, and so on), but all the different parts mixed together and begin to take on the flavor of one another.

1.Who are not mentioned as immigrants to America?

A. Europeans　　 B. Asians

C. Australians　　 D. Latin Americans

2.The underlined word “assimilate” in paragraph 2 means 　　　　　 .

A. delight　　 B. accept

C. challenge　　 D. reject

3.Why is a “salad bowl” a better way to call the United States instead of a “melting pot”?

A. Immigrants love to eat salads instead of hot pot

B. Immigrants take pride in their culture and language

C. Immigrants join American culture only partially

D. Immigrants remain independent completely

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. America and Immigrants

B. Different Groups, Different Cultures

C. America – A Salad Bowl

D. America – A Great Country
