Jobs that attract idealistic types can sour(使人不愉快的) when the work seems to make little meaningful difference. Besides police officers and lawyers, inner-city teachers and journalists often fall into this category. Doctors, interns and nurses can, too, when the waves of the sick seem endless.
Why the recent wave exhausts basketball coaches? Sports give them tremendous responsibilities but, ultimately, little control. Coaches can only coach; they can't actually run the plays. But if the team loses, they still get fired. Similarly, waiters and waitresses get stiffed on tips if the cook screws up.
But experts say the toughest occupation may still be that of working mom. Many women who are bringing home the bacon are still expected to fry and serve it, too. '' There really are relatively few couples where child care and domestic work are truly shared," says Harriet Lerner, a psychologist at the Menninger Clinic. Even unemployed husbands do no more than 36percent of the housework. Now that's a study in high stress and high shame.
1. The example of air-traffic controllers is given in Para. 1 to show that
.
A. it’s not easy to decide which jobs are stressful
B. nobody wants to be an air-traffic controller
C. they can easily succeed in their career
D. their job is the most dangerous one
答案解析:答案为A。本题为细节题。文章第一段第一句话 “Identifying which jobs put the most stress on American workers is, in itself, a risky business.”是该段的主题句,因此后面的例子air-traffic controllers就是用来证明第一句话,表明“判断哪种工作压力非常大不容易”,故答案为A。
