"A survey was conducted in Shanghai where interviewees were asked if they wanted to be a factory worker.One percent of all people interviewed said “YES," Wang Hongjun, a technician, said, raising his voice for dramatic effect."But I can tell you, only a small part of that 1 percent are telling the truth."
I've met colorful people like Wang all over China.They are cynical (玩世不恭的) yet warmhearted, plain spoken but smart.And many of them are confined (局限于) to work in factories.
Wang is a top technician but also represents manual factory workers, who are China's most important natural resource.Their energy is powering China's economic boom, and their muscle is turning the wheel of the world's factory.
But does their unskilled labor give their life meaning? At school, did they tell their friends: "When I grow up I want to work in a factory making socks?" Did you?
Factory work has always been a stepping-stone from farm life to the city and a modern life.It's been happening for centuries, but today, with our space-age technology, it's outdated.Earning 1,200 yuan ($169) per month working in a factory is better than that on a farm, but as Wang points out, it's not a dream career.There should be better ways to earn your rice.
Many modern factories no longer have production line workers.Robots do the assembly (装配).People just do the monitoring.In this age of technology, in which China is now working smarter and not just harder, why are people still standing in production lines?
But life is cheap in China.So why not continue to exploit the low-cost labor situation and keep the economy growing fast, some entrepreneurs may ask.
How many people surveyed really like to be factory workers?
A.One percent
B.Only a small part
C.Only a small part of that one percent
D.The writer didn’t mention it.
Which is NOT the writer's opinion of factory workers?
A.cynical B.unimportant

Wang Hongjun is a person who is .
A.difficult to get along with
B.humorous but serious
C.cynical but warmhearted, plain spoken but smart
D.full of energy but doesn't want to work hard
Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Factory workers make contributions to China's economic boom.
B.Working in a factory is better than that on a farm.
C.Factory workers are satisfied with their living conditions.
D.Some entrepreneurs exploited the low-cost labor situation.
The writer uses to begin the passage.

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
The ability to do several things at once has become one of the great measures of self-worth for 21-century Americans. It is called multitasking, and it takes many forms. As one example, why go out to lunch when you can eat at your desk, talk to a client on the phone, scroll through your e-mail, and scan a memo simultaneously? And why simply work out on treadmill (单调的工作) when you could be watching television and talking on a portable phone at the same time? What a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment --- three activities for the time commitment of one! Ah, such efficiency. No wonder those who turn “to do” lists into a time-management art form tend to boast (自夸): “Look, me, how many things I can accomplish at once. If I’m this busy, I must be important.”
Yet last week the New York Assembly struck a blow against multitasking, at least behind the wheel, when it approved a bill banning drivers in the state from using handheld cellular phones. Too dangerous, the assembly said, citing research showing that drivers are four times more likely to have a collision when they are talking on a cellphone.
No one can argue against using time effectively. But accompanying the supposed gains are losses. Consider the woman out for an early-morning walk in a suburban neighborhood. She strides briskly, head down, cellphone clamped to her ear, chattering (喋喋不休) away, oblivious of the birds and flowers and glorious sunshine. Did the walk have any value?
More than a decade ago, long before multi-tasking became a word in everyday use, a retired professor of theology(神学) in Indiana with whom I corresponded (通信) made a case for what might be called uni-tasking — the old-fashioned practice of doing one thing at a time.
Offering the simplest example, he said, “When you wash the dishes, wash the dishes.” Good advice, I’ve found, whatever the task.
Perhaps, too, the ban on phoning-on-the-road will even spark a move away from other forms of dual activity. Who can tell? It could mark the first step in a welcome reconsideration of what really constitutes productivity and accomplishment.
