  She did   6   the unseen man told her.She could hear a plane flying round and round   7   her cottage.“I’m helping the plane!” Marie said to   8

It was a bitter, cold craning in evening Virginia years ago. An old man was waiting for a ride across the river. The wait seemed endless. His body became stiff the cold wind.    

He heard the faint, steady   31   of approaching hooves (马蹄) coming along the frozen path,   32  , he watched as several horsemen   33   the bend. He let the first one pass by, then another and another. Finally, the last rider neared the sport where the old man sat like a snow   34  . As this one drew near ,the old man   35  the rider’s eye and said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a   36   to the other side?” There appear to be passage way by foot." 

Reining his horse, the rider replied, “Sure. Hop aboard.” Seeing the old man was unable to   37   his half – frowned body from the ground, the horseman dismounted and helped the old man  onto the horse. The horse took the old man not just across the fiver ,but to his   38  .

As they neared the cottage, the horseman’   39  caused him to inquire ,"Sir ,I notice that you let several other riders   40  without making an effort to secure a ride. Then I came up and you   41  asked me for a ride. I'm curious. What if I had   42  and left you there?" 

The old man   43  himself slowly down from the horse, looked the rider straight in the eyes, and replied, "I’ve been around here for some time .I   44  I know people pretty good. The old – timer continued. I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately saw there was no   45  for my situation. It would have been   46  even to ask them for a ride. But when looked into your eyes, kindness and compassion were   47  . I knew, then and there, that your gentle spirit would welcome the opportunity to give me   48  my time of need.”

Those heartwarming comments   49  the horseman deeply.

“I'm most grateful for what you have said.” He told the old man .''May I have get too   50  in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion ."      

With that Thomas Jefferson turned his around and made his way back.

The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most people’s work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a discouraging thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history show, hasn’t meant economic freedom.

Employment became widespread when the enclosures(圈地运动)of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by taking them away from the use of the land, and thus from the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people’s homes. Later, as transport improved, first by rail and then by road, people traveled longer distances to their place of employment until, eventually, many people’s work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they lived.

Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In pre-industrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community. Now it became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm(准则)today, and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between sexes.

It was not only women whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were kept out — a problem now, as more teenagers disappointed and annoyed at school and more retired people want to live active lives.

All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to switch some efforts and resources away from the utopian(乌托邦)goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs.

1. From the passage we can learn that ____.

A.jobs have existed since human came into being

B.the industrial age brought jobs to everyone

C.the industrial age brought the work patterns most people’s work has taken

D.in the future more and more people could get jobs as the industry is developing

2.Before the enclosures of the 17th and 18th, people lived mainly on ____.

A.paid work

B.unpaid work

C.taxes and benefits

D.land

3.Before the industrial age women played ____.

A.more important roles in making a life

B.less important roles in making a life

C.roles as weak as after in raising their children

D.roles as important as men in supporting a family

4. From the passage we can infer that ____.

A.creating jobs for all must be changed

B.enough jobs must be created by our society

C.more and more jobs are being created

D.industrial age has made many people unable to live without full-time jobs
