问题     Maybe unemployment isn’t so bad after all. A new study says that having a demanding, unstable and thankless job may make you even【C1】______ than not having a job at all.
    【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.

"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] 【C6】

选项 A、fitness
B、health
C、well-being
D、soundness

答案 C

解析 词义辨析题。上一段末尾提到差的工作对人精神健康的影响。所以此处应该选一个跟精神状态有关的词。所以选C项,表示“健康、幸福等的状态”。fitness尤指因锻炼和合适营养造成的生理上的健康状况,与此处语境不符;health可以指生理和心理健康,用于此处不如well-being准确到位,所以也可排除;soundness“健全,完好”,这个讨论的不是精神是否健全,而是是否幸福,所以与语境不符。
