　　(2017·黑龙江鹤岗一中模拟)People tend to have one of three beliefs about the meaning of work and which category you fall into largely depends on your parents, according to the new research from the University of Michigan.

　　Workers who are job­oriented are those just trying to make a living who much prefer the activities they pursue outside of the office. Career­oriented adults — your typical “workaholic” — value the social status and reputation that comes with professional achievement, and gain much of their identity from their jobs. Calling­oriented people do work that they are passionate about because they want to have a positive impact on the world.

　　In the first empirical study into how these orientations originate, researchers found that how teenagers view their parents' work ethic is central to the development of their own work attitudes.

　　It's not a straightforward transfer of values. People who perceive their father to have a strong career­orientation are more likely to be career­oriented

　　themselves,

　　but

　　career­determined mothers have no effect on their kids' work orientation.

　　The researchers attributed this to generational gender norms. When the study's participants were teenagers, mostly in the 1980s, men were more commonly employed outside of the home and were more likely than women to hold “career” jobs with opportunity for advancement.

　　Mothers do have a notable effect on whether children have a job­orientation mentality. Teenagers who are close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job when they grow up, probably because they've been raised to value social, rather than instrumental, life experiences.

　　Having both parents display the same work ethic has an amplified influence, but only in the case of calling­oriented children.

　　As

　　our

　　society

　　favors

　　money

　　and

　　professional achievement, a child with two calling­oriented parents is more likely to have the confidence to ignore these social pressures and pursue his dreams.

　　Children

　　can

　　affect

　　their

　　parents'

　　work

　　ethic,

　　too. Allowing people to bring their children into the office has been shown to improve efficiency and productivity — and could help raise that next generation of career­oriented workers.

　　1．If you are proud of being a teacher, and you are enthusiastic about your job, you belong to ________.

　　A．the job­oriented group

　　B．the career­oriented group

　　C．the workaholic group

　　D．the calling­oriented group

　　2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．Children valuing their parents' career­orientation will be career­oriented.

　　B. Fathers have a greater influence

　　than mothers on teenagers' attitude towards jobs.

　　C．Calling­oriented mothers have little effect on their children's work orientation.

　　D．Children's attitudes towards jobs aren't related to parents'.

　　3．What does the underlined word “amplified” in Paragraph 6 mean?

　　A．Enough.　B．Increased.

　　C．Decreased.

　　D．Strong.

　　4．What is the attitude of the child with two calling­oriented parents towards the social pressure?

　　A．He takes no notice of it.

　　B．He thinks too highly of it.

　　C．He looks on it as a difficulty.

　　D．He considers it confusing.

　　4．________

　　In China and some other

　　countries, for example, some people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better.Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms of colds.

　　There is one interesting thing to note — some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you.The virus stays in your body longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it.

　　5.________ There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: it takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.So you should trust the function of your body.

　　A．Therefore, there isn't a cure for each one.

　　B．Bodies can indeed do an amazing job on their own.

　　C．How much do you know about the various viruses in the world?

　　D．Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it.
