It is a familiar scene these days: employees taking newly laid-off co-workers out for a drink for comfort. But which side deserves sympathy more, the jobless or the still employed? On March 6, researchers at a conference at the University of Cambridge heard data suggesting it's the latter.
Brendan Burchell, a Cambridge sociologist, presented his analysis based on various surveys conducted across Europe. The data suggest that employed people who feel insecure in their jobs show similar levels of anxiety and depression as those who are unemployed. Although a newly jobless person's mental health may“bottom out" after about six months, and then even begin to improve, the mental state of people who are continuously worried about losing their job “just continues to get worse and worse", Burchell says.
Evolutionary psychologists support this theory by arguing that human beings feel more stress during times of insecurity because they sense an immediate but invisible threat. Patients have been known to experience higher levels of anxiety,for example, while waiting for examination results than knowing what they are suffering from-even if the result is cancer. It's better to get the bad news and start doing something about it rather than wait with anxiety. When the uncertainty continues, people stay in a nonstop “fight or flight" response, which leads to damaging stress.
But not every employee in insecure industries has such a discouraging view,Burchell says. In general, women get on better. While reporting higher levels of anxiety than men when directly questioned, women scored lower in stress on the GHQ 12, even when they had a job they felt insecure about losing. As Burchell explains, “For women, most studies show that any job-it doesn't matter
whether it is secure or insecure-gives psychological improvement over unemployment. " Burchell supposes that the difference in men is that they tend to feel pressure not only to be employed, but also to be the primary breadwinner, and that more of a man's self-worth depends on his job.
1.Why do researchers think the still employed deserve sympathy more?
A. They have to do more work since then.
B. They have no chance to find better jobs.
C. They have to work with inexperienced workers.
D. They constantly worry about losing their jobs.
2.What is most likely to cause a “fight or flight" response?
A. Not having a paid job.
B. Fierce competition for jobs.
C. Not knowing what will happen.
D. Pressure to work longer hours.
3.What will the writer talk about following the last paragraph?
A. Advice on preparing a job interview.
B. Advice to those in insecure industries.
C. Some knowledge of psychology.
D. Difference in men and women.
4. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Is it less stressful to get laid off than stay on?
B. Should greater sympathy be given to the jobless?
C. Do employees bear more stress than ever before?
D. Do men or women show higher levels of anxiety?

The sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment' sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing. Since 2009, a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world-Little Free Library. The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods from which residents can withdraw（取出） and deposit（存入） books. Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes. Some libraries also have themes, focusing on books for children, adults, or tour guides.
In 2009. Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother, who was a devoted reader.

The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries. But an Atlantic article says the little, structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads . The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human. For many people, the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries' main appeal.

A great loss—Shirley Temple dies at 85
February 12，2014
BY DERRIK J．LANG，Associated Press
Shirley Temple Black，who died on February 10th at age 85，wasn’t just a child star．She was THE child star—the sweet little girl whose shining smile helped illumine some of the darkest days the US has known during the Great Depression．
It’s hard today to imagine the super star Shirley was once “America’s Little Darling”．She sang and danced her way to the top of the box office in such films as Bright Eyes，Curly Top and Heidi．By 1940，she had appeared in 43 films．Temple teamed with Bill Robison in four movies，and their dance on the stairs in The Little Colonel is still a legendary film moment．
In the 1930s，her name on a movie introduction assured（保证）a packed house．She inspired dolls，dresses，dishes—even a drink（alcohol-free，of course）．
US President Franklind． Roosevelt once famously said that “as long as our country has Shirley Temple，we will be all right．”
Unlike so many of today’s child stars，Temple didn’t end up with her name appearing across the headlines for bad behaviors．Instead of getting her photos on front pages or struggling with drugs and alcohol，Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy（外交），including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana．
She surprised a lot of people who doubted her with her grace，knowledge and eagerness to serve．In fact，her career in public service（20 years）was longer than her career in movies（19）．The role she valued most，however，was as wife，mother，grandmother and great-grandmother．
The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend． But her movies will allow that little dynamic figure to continue charming audiences for a very long time．
1.The word “illumine” in Paragraph 1 means _______．
A． shorten B． sweeten
C． strengthen D． brighten
2.Temple，as a child movie star，can best be described as _______．
A． sweet and lively
B． gentle and kind
C． smart and knowledgeable
D． shy and attractive
3.What part did she regard as the most important in her life？
A． A top movie star．
B． A businesswoman．
C． Her family role．
D． Her diplomacy career．
4.Where does this passage possibly come from？
A． A biography B． A newspaper
C． A magazine D． A poster
