问题     Psychologists at Qowl, a private firm linked to the University of Portsmouth analyzed the quality of working life of about 5 000 college employees.【C1】______studies had found that women workers were happier than men. However, the study shows that this difference【C2】______with age, and the trend reverses【C3】______the age of 60.
    At this age men seem to experience a notable【C4】______in the quality of working life, the researchers said.【C5】______, the report said that women at or about the age of 60 report【C6】______of an increase in their quality of working life, even though they would normally be nearer【C7】______. The result is that men for the first time have become【C8】______at work than women. The researchers say the reason【C9】______the pre-retirement bounce among men is not clear,【C10】______suggest a range of different explanations. As men often have jobs which【C11】______greater flexibility, this enables them to【C12】______down and reduce their stress as they head【C13】______retirement. Or it could be that men can【C14】______look forward to the prospect of higher pensions than women.
    "【C15】______we are only now beginning to identify the factors that【C16】______to the quality of working life, this research underlines the【C17】______benefits that might be reaped from taking action to【C18】______the work environment for all age groups," said Dr. Darren Van Laar, lead researcher at Qowl. His team now plan to research the reasons why men find【C19】______at work after the age of 60, to see if the benefits can be【C20】______to women as well. [br] 【C8】
选项 A、harder
B、bitter
C、happier
D、freer
答案 C
解析 语义推断题。上文将男女员工的幸福感作了对比，即60岁左右的男员工比这个年龄的女员工幸福感更强。本句意在呼应上文内容，即男员工的工作幸福感首次超过女员工，故happier“更幸福的”符合句意。harder“更难的”和bitter“更苦的”均与原文意思相反；文章并未提及与工作自由相关的信息，故freer不符合句意。
