But not every employee in insecure industries has such a discouraging view, Burchell says. In general, women get on better. While reporting higher levels of anxiety than men when directly questioned, women scored lower in stress on the GHQ 12, even when they had a job they felt insecure about losing. As Burchell explains, “For women, most studies show that any job — it doesn't matter whether it is secure or insecure — gives psychological improvement over unemployment.” Burchell supposes that the difference in men is that they tend to feel pressure not only to be employed, but also to be the primary breadwinner, and that more of a man's self­worth depends on his job.

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究人员发现与下岗职工相比，在职人员更值得同情，因为担心工作是否稳定、自身的价值能否体现等一系列的心理压力笼罩着他们，让他们的身心备受煎熬。

　　1．Why do researchers think the still employed deserve sympathy more?

　　A．They have to do more work since then.

　　B．They have no chance to find better jobs.

　　C．They have to work with inexperienced workers.

　　D．They constantly worry about losing their job.

　　解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中“the mental state of people who are continuously worried about losing their job ‘just continues to get worse and worse’”可知，研究者之所以认为在职人员更值得同情，是因为在职人员一直处于担心会失去工作的状态中，而且他们的情况会越来越糟。故答案选D。
