Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them. Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it. People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy. It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal(残酷的). Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation(冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow. Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labor Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain . 56. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes________.

The time when it counted whether the worker took pride in the product of their labor is long past. The vast majority of jobs today are assembly line, office cubicle (小隔间) and service (servants really) tasks which, for the worker, are repetitive, boringly mind numbing, and prone to repetitive injuries. Meanwhile the wages attached to these “jobs” have not kept pace with inflation for years, meaning that more and more people every year are driven deeper and deeper into debt or poverty just to survive. Besides, more and more employers these days are simply with bias and view workers as problem prone necessities that can be easily replaced at any time and whose wages are a cost factor rather than an investment in the product. It is time to think beyond mere “jobs” as the principle means of obtaining a “livelihood”. Nor should a “job” define a person’s value or relevance. Science and technology, robotics and automation, have been eliminating the human component from the “jobs” market at an ever increasing rate for decades. And that is a good thing. Yes, there will always be tasks that humans must perform and which cannot be entrusted to machines alone, but those tasks become scarcer every year. But I say good riddance (总算摆脱) to the assembly line jobs that dehumanize the workers by degrading them simply into another part of the plant’s machinery and offer little or no mental stimulation or value to employees since they are so easily replaceable. There is a rich, lively and engaging life to be found outside the workplace and a mere “job” and it is time we looked outside this box toward other ways that people can find value in what they do, such as volunteering, community projects, family care, amateur sports and an array of others.1.

We can infer from the passage that the advance of science and technology ________.A) is a blessing to the workersB) makes more and more workers lose their jobs C) makes the employers more sympathetic to the employeesD) makes the work of employees irreplaceable3. According to the passage, people can find value in ________.A) being an office clerkB) being a servantC) being a mechanicD) being a volunteer 4. Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?A) People doing repetitive jobs are becoming poorer because of inflation.B) Many employers nowadays see workers as a necessary investment in the product.C) We need more people who are capable of operating machines.D) Assembly line jobs can hardly offer mental stimulation or value to workers. 5. What is the best title for this passage?A) The significance of jobs in our lifeB) The pride we should take in our jobsC) The true value of jobs in our life D) The relationship between technology and jobs
