　　Text1

　　A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys, people are actually more stressed at home that at work. Researchers measured people's cortisol, which is a stress marker, while they were at word and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.

　　"Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work that at home," writer one of the researchers, Sarah Damaske. In fact women even say they feel better at work, she notes."It is men, not women, who report being happier at home that at work." Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children and without, but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have better health.

　　What the study doesn't measure is whether people are still doing work when they're at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women it's not surprising that women are more stressed at home.

　　But it's not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they're supposed to be doing to be doing: wording, making money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure: Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.

　　On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done, there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into is, of if they're teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus, they’re teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus, they're your family. You cannot fire your family. You never really get to go home from home.

　　So it's not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite, the co-workers are much harder to motivate.

　　選項及詳解：

　　21. According to Paragraph 1, most previous surveys found that home________.

　　定位句：A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys, people are actually more stressed at home that at work. 純細節題。與大多數研究不同，人們在家中比在工作中壓力更大。也就是說，大多數研究認為：在家中的壓力沒有工作中的壓力大。此處命題者也犯了一點兒錯誤，為了加大答案難度，強行將更多放松與壓力更小等同了起來。此題出得一般。如果要是我給答案，答案會是：made people less pressed than working

　　[A] offered greater relaxation than the workplace

　　[B] was an ideal place for stress measurement—無關

　　[C] generated more stress than the workplace—相悖

　　[D] wasan unrealistic place for relaxation—沒有體現兩者比較

　　22. According to Damaske, who are likely to be the happiest at home?

　　定位句：'It is men, not women, who report being happier at home that at work.' Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children and without, but more so for nonparents. 比起女人，男人在家中比在工作中更快樂。有沒有孩子都成立，但不是父母的人群中這點體現得更為明顯。此題為典型的綜合細節題，將原文中的兩處子細節進行了概括。答案應該是沒孩子的丈夫。此處為出題者點三十二個贊。

　　[A] Childless wives –相悖

　　[B] working mothers—相悖

　　[C] Childless husbands

　　[D] Working fathers—相悖

　　23. The blurring of working women’s roles refers to the fact that____

　　定位句：And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women it's not surprising that women are more stressed at home. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks此句為答案出處。一邊在外工作，一邊忙著家務活。你可以說這是綜合細節題，也可以說是簡單推斷題。答案中bread winners and housewives這兩個角色精確概括了原文中work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks這句話。 此題繼續為出題者點三十二個贊。

　　[A] it is difficult for them to leave their office—無關

　　{B] their home is also a place for kicking back—推不出

　　[C] there is often much housework left behind—無關

　　[D] they are both bread winners and housewives

　　24. The word 'moola'(Line 4, para.4) most probably means____

　　定位句：詞匯題。Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola. 他們付出勞動，他們得到維持生計的?那還能是什么，只能是錢唄!況且這個詞在美語俚語中的意思就是鈔票。此題應屬于詞匯題中較為容易的一種，通過上下文可以推斷出，出得不錯。

　　[A]skills—代入不合適

　　[B]energy—代入不合適

　　[C]earnings

　　[D]nutrition—代入不合適

　　25. The home front differs from the workplace in that_____

　　定位句：On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. 從家庭層面來說，人們的分工就沒有這么明顯了。很難客觀冷靜得分清楚誰該干啥，誰該干啥。所以答案是：家庭中的分工很少那么清晰。此題出得不錯，但達不到點贊的地步。

　　[A]division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut

　　[B]home is hardly a cozier working environment—無關

　　[C]household tasks are generally more motivating—無關

　　[D]family labor is often adequately rewarded—相悖

　　總結：這篇文章屬于英語二第一篇最青睞的一個題材，即社會現象。從題目難度上來講，高于2014年初的第一篇幸福和2013年初的第一篇平庸化已結束，小于2010年初的第一篇藝術品市場萎縮，約等同于2012年初的第一篇家庭作業。選項是梅花卷兒，所以請大家看清答案位置。
