In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more various jobs lead to greater productivity? There are facts to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then variety is not an important factor.
Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important, and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery that must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it.
Another very important consideration is how each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of the worker’s contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about.
To what degree does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. Maybe they want more money only because the work they do is boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.
Which of the following is the best way to make workers work harder according to the author?
A．Increasing their pay.
B．Giving them more spare time.
C．Making the work itself meaningful.
D．Replacing large production lines with small ones.
The reason why a worker cannot have freedom in doing the job in his own way is that ___ .
A．the machine is so badly needed that more of it should be bought
B．there are e production lines in factories
C．the bosses can create very little freedom of choices
D．the machines must be operated strictly according to instructions and rules
Besides money, what may make workers work more actively?
A. extra free hours B. More comfort of life
C. interesting jobs D. better working conditions
The best title for this passage may be _______.
A．Problems of Modern Workers B．Making Jobs More Interesting
C．Pushing Workers to Produce More D．How to Improve Labor Productivity

閱讀表達（共5小題；每小題3分，滿分15分）
閱讀下面的短文，并根據短文后的要求答題。（請注意問題后的字數要求）
［1］When we were children, it seemed that father knew everything. When we grew up and father became older, sometimes we quarreled about our own views. So I try to get on well with father.
［2］Remember the age of father. Being aware of father’s age will help us to understand him better. He has lived in the years when attitudes towards matters, such as poverty, unemployment, higher education, were quite different from those in our time. Thus it is impossible for him to change mind totally.
［3］Listen to father. As we grew up, what our father has told us often sounds not sophisticated(圓滑的)enough from the world we live in today. Yet I have found that sometimes the words that my father told me long time ago are remarkably useful. If father knows we respect his point of view, even if we do not share it, it will help him feel close to us.
［4］Remember that father has a past. When he was young, he lived a hard life. He came from remote village. How to stay in a strange city and how to earn money are problems he met first. He must work hard and face all kinds of difficulties. Full of wisdom, courage and hope,
at last. It is a part of his life that must have affected him deeply.
［5］Accept personality from father. Most of us have mixed feelings about taking after our father. We might feel fine about it when we are considering his admirable qualities. But we have realized that we and our fathers share those characteristics we do not admire. Accepting what we have inherited(繼承)is important.
［6］Adopting any approach to get on well with our father is the issue of how we manage ourselves. We should keep a sense of humor with our father. Remember we will have our own child and surely we will be parents. Accepting and understanding our father is a part of our life.
1. What is the best title of this passage? (within 8 words)
2. Choose one way of getting on well with father you prefer and explain the reason (within 30 words)
3.Fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph with proper words. (within 10 words)
4. Which sentence in the passage can replace the following one?
But we have come to know we both have the same features, even if we do not like them.
5. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
