Think twice next time someone asks you for "five minutes of your time" —it could cost you more than you think. A British professor has【S1】______a mathematical formula to help people find out【S2】______how much an hour of their time is worth. Professor Ian Walker of Warwick University【S3】______the value of time after research showed that over 80 percent of【S4】______would buy more time if they could afford it. "Traditionally, salaries have【S5】______an indication of how we are valued at work," Walker, an【S6】______professor, said in a statement. "However, by looking at salaries against taxation, the cost of living and【S7】______variations, we can see how much an hour of our time is worth whether at work or home." The formula could help in making【S8】______, such as whether to cook a meal or to get a takeaway, or whether to take【S9】______transport or a taxi. Visitors to www. Barclaycard. co. uk/timeismoney can find out the value of an hour of their time by entering their salary, the region where they work and what kind of work they do. For example, for a professional working in London and earning 25000 pounds a year, an hour would be worth 6.44 pounds. Cooking dinner would cost 5.37 pounds—【S10】______to get a takeaway, once you add the cost of the raw materials needed to make it yourself. Brushing your teeth comes at 32 pence—perhaps hard to find someone to do it for you for less.
A)given F)economics K)cheaper
B)investigated G)students L)happily
C)regional H)exactly M)respondents
D)developed I)psychology N)earned
E)decisions J)public O)easy [br] 【S10】
选项
答案
K
解析
形容词辨义题。上文提到了在自己做饭和叫外卖之间做决定,空格处就需要一个形容词的比较级来给出两者比较过后的结果。既然已经算出了做饭的时间成本,那么再加上做饭需要的材料,似乎总开销也不小,所以,叫外卖会更便宜。因此K)cheaper“更便宜的”符合题意。
