    【C2】______ that a paid position gives workers purpose and a structured role, researchers had【C3】______ thought that having any job would make a person happier than being【C4】______. That turns out to be true if you move into a high-quality job—but taking a bad job is【C5】______ to mental health.
    Australian National University researchers looked at how various psychosocial work attributes affect【C6】______. They found that poor-quality jobs— those with high demands, low control over decision making, low job【C7】______ and an effort-reward imbalance—had more adverse effects on mental health than joblessness.
    Moving from unemployment to a job with high psychosocial quality was associated with【C8】______ in mental health, the authors said.【C9】______, the mental health of people in the least-satisfying jobs declined the【C10】______ over time—and the worse the job, the more it affected workers’ welfare.
    These findings【C11】______ the importance of employment to a person’s welfare.

But that’s a lot【C15】______ said than done.
    【C16】______ employers could be persuaded to be more【C17】______ of the mental health of their workers— happier employees are a【C18】______ to their employers. "The【C19】______ of work conditions," the researchers noted, "may【C20】______ a health cost, which over the longer term will be both economically and socially counterproductive." [br] 【C5】
选项 A、detrimental
B、disastrous
C、destructive
D、demeaning
答案 A
解析 词义辨析题。该句前半部分提到，如果你从事一份高质量的工作，那的确比失业时有幸福感，由此可以猜到，从事不好的工作会对精神健康产生不利影响，所以选A项，detrimental“有害的，不利的”。destructive“破坏性的，毁灭性的”和disastrous“灾难性的，极坏的”若用于此处，程度过于严重。demeaning表示“降低身份，贬抑”，不符合此处的语境。
