听力原文: Although we are told when young that honesty is the best policy, we are often taught the opposite by experience and observation. A child quickly learns that she cannot always tell the truth. For instance, the little girl who tells her great aunt that she's fat and ugly learns that honesty can have some unfortunate results. Similarly the five-year-old who admits to pinching the baby soon has ample evidence that dishonesty might be the real virtue. In addition to her own experience, the child also observes that adults don't practice what they preach about honesty. Any alert child knows by the age of eight that adults really employ the little white lie to serve their own purposes. For instance, a child may hear a parent explain on the phone that his family have a lot of company when the child knows that no one is there but family members. Another child may hear her mother insist that she's terribly glad to see an old friend who has dropped by and then, two hours later, hear her mother complain about her day being interrupted by the visit. As a result, the child learns from watching that dishonesty is the practice even when honesty is the stated policy.

Opinion polls are now beginning to show an unwilling general agreement that, whoever is to【21】and whatever happens from now on, high unemployment is probably here to stay. This means we shall have to find ways of【22】the available employment more widely.
But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future of work. Should we continue to【23】employment as the norm? Should we not rather encourage many other ways for self-respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions【24】which many of us can work for ourselves,【25】for an employer?
The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most people's work has taken the【26】of jobs. The industrial age may now be【27】to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a discouraging thought.【28】, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment as its history shows, has not meant【29】freedom.
Employment became widespread【30】the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving【31】them the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living【32】themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from the people's homes.【33】, as transport improved, first by rail and then by road, people traveled longer distances to their places of employment until,【34】, many people's work lost all connection【35】their home lives and the places in which they lived.
【36】, employment put women【37】a disadvantage. It became customary for the husband to go out to【38】employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife.
All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to【39】some effort and resources away from the【40】goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs.
