In our society the razor of necessity
cuts close. You must make a buck to survive the day. You must work to make a
buck. The job is often a chore, rarely a delight. No matter how demeaning the
task, no matter how it dulls the senses or breaks the spirit, one must work.
Lately there has been a questioning of this "work ethic", especially by the
young. Strangely enough, it has touched off profound grievances in others
hitherto silent and anonymous. Unexpected precincts are being
heard from in a show of discontent by blue collar and white. On the evening bus
the tense, pinched faces of young file clerks and elderly secretaries tell us
more than we care to know. On the expressways middle-management men pose without
grace behind their wheels, as they flee city and job. In all,
there is more than a slight ache. And there dangles A. one works mainly to keep body and soul together B. one must work not only for money, but also for delight C. one must understand that jobs as chores D. one should earn as much money a day as possible

[单项选择] Passage 2
What our society suffers from most
today is the absence of consensus about what it and life in it ought to be; such
consensus cannot be gained from society’s present stage, or from fantasies about
what it ought to be. For that the present is too close and too diversified, and
the future too uncertain, to make believable claims about it. A consensus in the
present hence can be achieved only through a shared understanding of the past,
as Homer’s epics informed those who lived centuries later what it meant to be
Greek, and by what images and ideals they were to live their lives and organize
their societies. Most societies derive consensus from a long
history, a language all their own, a common religion, common ancestry. The myths
by which they live are based on all of these. But the United States is a country
of immigrants, coming fr A. the non-existence of consensus on the forms the society should take B. the lack of divergence over the common organizations of social life C. the non-acceptance of a society based on individual diversity D. the pervasive distress caused by national morale decline
