题目内容

Inequality at work and in work is still one of the cruelest and most glaring forms of inequality in our society. We cannot hope to solve the more obvious problems of industrial life, many of which arise directly or indirectly from the frustrations created by inequality at work, unless we tackle it head-on. Still less can we hope to create a decent and humane society.
The most glaring inequality is that between managers and the rest. For most managers, work is an opportunity and a challenge. Their jobs engage their interest and allow them to develop their abilities. They are constantly learning; they are able to exercise responsibility; they have a considerable degree of control over their own and others' working lives. Most important of all, they have opportunity to initiate. By contrast, for most manual workers, and for a growing number of white-collar workers, work is a boring, dull, even painful experience. They spend all their working lives in conditions which would be regarded as intolerable--for themselves--by those who take the decisions which let such conditions continue. The majority have little control over their work; it provides them with no opportunity for personal development. Often production is so designed that workers are simply part of the technology. In offices, many jobs are so routine that workers justifiably feel themselves to be mere cogs in the bureaucratic machine. As a direct consequence of their work experience, many workers feel alienated from their work and their firm, whether it is in public or in private ownership.
In the writer's opinion, people judge others by ______.

A. the type of work they do
B. the place where they work
C. the time they spend at work
D. the amount of money they earn

听力原文: Hi, Richard, this is Phillip. I'm calling about some changes in your upcoming flight itinerary. You were scheduled to return to New York by Saturday September 27th at 9 a.m. from Los Angeles. I received your e-mail that stated you needed to be back in New York earlier to get started on litigation proceedings so I checked all of the airlines offering flights from Los Angeles to New York. According to what I found, most of the flights had a minimum of two stopovers due to the increase in domestic travel this time of year. After checking all the airlines, I found that Trans-Flight was the only airline offering a flight from Los Angels to New York with only one stopover in Chicago. The stopover will be for nine hours and is at night so we'll need to book a hotel. However the stopover also means a $130 reduction in your ticket price. I went ahead and booked the flight since it was the best offer available. Please e-mail me back with your hotel preferences ASAP so I can have that booked for you as well.
Who is most likely speaking?

A travel agent
B. A hotel worker
C. A lawyer
D. An airline attendant
