10、g one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, Nell-ventilated factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the
11、fact that man has become powerless, that he is bored with it. In fact, the blue and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.The worker and employee are anxious, not only because they might find themselves out of a
12、job; they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction of interesting life. They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.Those higher up on the soci
13、al ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for t
14、heir first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of obedience and independence. From the moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get
15、 along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than ones fellow competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.Am I suggesting that we should return to the preindustrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterpris
16、e” capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system form a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption ends in a humanist industrialism in which man and full de
17、velopment of his potentialities those of all love and of reason are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.4. By “a well-oiled cog in the machinery” the author intends to deliver the idea that man is

21、l B. dissatisfaction C. suspicion D. sensibilityCWe humans love to stare into our smart devices.We gaze for hoursabout 10 hours and 39 minutes a dayat our computers,smartphones,tablets and televisions.Is all this staring bad for us? It might be,mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposi
22、ng ourselves to blue light.Blue light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy.While its true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances,theres no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes.Bu
23、t many people still think it is,which is why blue lightblocking glasses are so popular.So do the glasses work?“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye,but theres no evidence that it may be causing serious damage,”Dr.Rahul Khurana,clinical spokesman for the America
24、n Academy of Ophthalmologists,told Business Insider.Blue light exposure is nothing new.In fact,the sun is the largest source of blue light.Moreover,blue light is also present in LED light.But if blue light isnt harmful,then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when were looking at our screens? The
25、 answer is eyestrain(眼疲劳):More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain.And blue light,it seems,isnt the cause.Instead,our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices.So if eyestrain is the real issue,blue light-b

29、sitive, indirect effect on the environment, when solar energy replaces or reduces the use of other energy sources that have larger effects on the environment.However, some poisonous materials and chemicals are used to make the photovoltaic (光电池的) cells that convert sunlight into electricity. Some so
30、lar thermal (保热的) systems use potentially hazardous liquids to transfer heat. Leaks of these materials could be harmful to the environment. U. S. environmental laws regulate the use and settlement of these types of materials.As with any type of power plant, large solar power plants can affect the en
31、vironment near their locations. The placement of the power plant may have long-term effects on the habitats of native plants and animals. Some solar power plant-s may require water for cleaning solar collectors and concentrators or for cooling turbine generators. Using large volumes of ground water
32、or surface water in some dry locations may affect the ecosystems that depend on these water resources. In addition, the beam of concentrated sunlight a solar power tower creates can kill birds and insects that fly into the beam.The amount of solar energy that the earth receives each day is many times greater than the total amount of all energy that people consume each day. However, on the surace of the earth, solar energy is a variable and irregular
