For most of human history rich people had the most leisure. On the flip side, the poor had to work 【C1】______. Hans-Joachim Voth, an economic historian, says that in 19th century you could tell how poor somebody was by how long they worked. Today things are different. Overall working hours have 【C2】______ over the past century. But the rich have begun to work longer hours than the poor.
There are a number of 【C3】______. One is that higher wages make leisure more expensive: if people take time off they give up more money. Since the 1980s the salaries of those at the top have risen strongly, while those below the median have stood still or fallen. Thus rising 【C4】______ encourages the rich to work more and the poor to work less.
The status of work and leisure in the rich world has also changed. Back in 1899 Thorstein Ve- blen offered his 【C5】______ on things. He argued that leisure was a "badge of honor". Rich people could get others to do the dirty, 【C6】______ work. Yet Veblen’s leisure class was not idle. Rather they 【C7】______ in "exploit": challenging and creative activities such as writing, charity and debating.
Veblen’s theory needs 【C8】______. Work in advanced economies has become more knowledge-intensive and 【C9】______. There are fewer really dull jobs, like lift-operating, and more glamorous ones, like fashion design. That means more people than ever can enjoy "exploit" at the office. Work has come to offer the sort of pleasures that rich people used to seek in their leisure time. On the other hand, leisure is no longer a sign of social power. Instead it 【C10】______ uselessness and unemployment. [br] 【C10】
选项
答案
L
解析
空格前为代词it,空格后为名词uselessness and unemployment,可知空格处需填入动词的第三人称单数形式,作谓语。由leisure is no longer a sign of social power“闲暇已经不再是社会权力的标志”可知,如今leisure“代表”的是无用和失业,symbolizes“象征”符合语义。deduces“推断”语义不适合,故排除。
