LONDON (Reuters)-Dealing with the dissatisfaction of ageing and unreliable office computers leads to
workers" unhappiness and more sick-leave, a survey (调查) showed on Wednesday.
A survey carried out by care4free. net of over 2,700 European office workers from the UK, France and
Germany found that workplace dissatisfaction increased greatly with the age of computer equipment.
"We do know that job satisfaction is falling in Britain and in most advanced nations," said Stephen White,
a researcher from the Work Foundation. "The actual reasons for this are the subject of very heated discussion.
It"s certainly one interesting theory that technology may be the cause of this in some way," White added.
A quarter of those using outdated computers in Britain said they were "quite" or "very dissatisfied" with
their everyday job compared to 16 percent of those who had enjoyed an advantage from up-to-date technology.
The survey also said that among workers dealing with outdated equipment, there was a 35 percent greater
probability they would take six or more days of sick-leave per year compared with the average worker. In
France, where more workers use older computers, the probability jumped to 55 percent.
Results also showed that women in the three countries were more likely to be using outdated equipment.
In the UK, where more workers have up-to-date computers than in the other countries surveyed, the number
of women using old equipment doubled that of men.
White pointed out that there were two sides to this problem, saying that continually having to deal with
new technology and new equipment can also be a source of worry. "Old and faulty equipment is a major cause
of office dissatisfaction, there"s no question about it. But you also have to say that the frequent change of
equipment is also, or could be, a main cause of dissatisfaction."
B. computer use in most jobs
C. the ageing of office computers
D. the survey by care4free.net
B. 25%
C. 35%
D. 55%
B. They do some of their work with computers.
C. Dealing with new equipment can cause anxiety.
D. They are easier to be satisfied with new technology.
B. Research work of the Work Foundation.
C. Influence of technology in the workplace.
D. different attitudes to old computers.

will send two robots (机器人) to separate places of Mars to seek out past or present signs of water. It is
all exciting idea to send two robots driving over very different places of Mars at the same time, to be able
to see what is on the other side of the hill.
Last month, NASA announced it was sending one robot to Mars, but after two weeks, it decided there
was enough money for two.
The robots will be sent up within two weeks of each other in May and June of 2003 from Kennedy
Space Center. If all goes well, the two spacecraft (宇宙飞船) will touch down on Mars,after a
seven-and-a-half-month space flight,on January 2 and 2O, 2OO4 The robots, each weighing 150 kilograms,
can cover 100 meters per day. They are designed to be able to examine the mineral content of the soil, and
their special camera will take pictures of the lands and hills Although they will be under control from Earth,
the robot, are able to move more freely compared to those sent up before them.
The actual landing points have not been determined yet, but the scientists say it will be in areas where
they hope to find water.
B. see if robots can find minerals there
C. test how fast robots can drive there
D. prove that robots can work on Mars
B. 7.5 months.
C. 2 months.
D. 2 weeks.
A. study the soil
B. walk everywhere
C. test the new camera
D. find a suitable landing point
B. hope to land the robots on the surface of water
C. are still working on the plan
D. know where they can find water
Schipper were simply getting along well, chatting about sport, life and " anything else that came up."
Yet in Sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race
against each other in the 50-meter butterfly (蝶泳) in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay.
Gould, now a 47-year-old mother of four, has announced she will be making a return to elite
competition (顶级赛事) to swim the one event, having set a qualifying (合格的) time of 30.32 seconds

she won three golds at the Munich Olympics. Schipper, now a 17-year-old from Brisbane with a bright
future of going to Athens for her first Olympics, yesterday recalled (回忆) her time with Gould fie years
us train, " Schipper explained." It seemed as if we had long been god friends. I don"t know why. We just
started talking and it went from there."
" She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She told us stories about what it was like at big
meets like the Olympics and what it"s like to be on an Australian team. It was really interesting."
Next time, things will be more serious. " I will still be swimming in the 50m butterfly at the nationals,
so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould," said Schipper, who burst onto
the scene at last year"s national championships with second places in the 100m and 200m butterfly.

and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26 year-old computer technician will spend the
extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.
"Organic produce is always better," Gold said,"The food is free of pesticides (农药), and you are
generally supporting family farms instend of large farms. And more often than not it is locally(本地)
grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the
organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic
food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay
a higher price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can
generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete.
For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of
organic food in Britain is not local but imported (进口) to meet growing demand ."The demand for organic
food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market," said Sue Flock, a
specialist in this line of business.
B. they can get the food anywhere
C. they consider the food free of pollution
D. they like home-grown fruit
B. It is produced outside Britain.
C. It is grown on family farms.
D. It is preduced on large farms.
B. better quality of organic food
C. rising market for organic food.
D. higher prices of organic food
B. The making of organic food in Britain.
C. Organic food-to import or not?
D. Good qualities of organic food
dump millions of pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year. By 2050, emissions (排放)
from planes are expected to become one of the largest contributors to global warming.
That"s why researchers at MIT are designing a completely new type of airplane for NASA that will
enable greener airplanes to take flight before 2050.
The 180-passenger D"double bubble" series was designed to replace the Boeing 737 class aircraft, the
most popular jetliner in the world right now. The design is called a "double bubble" because it uses two
partial cylinders (气缸) placed side by side. Those two cylinders create a wider structure that looks like two
soap bubbles joined together.
In today"s commercial airplanes, air flows directly into the engines located on the plane"s wings. That
high-speed air flow drags on the plane, and requires more fuel to overcome the design inefficiency.
MIT"s design changes all that. By moving the engines to the plane"s tail, they take in slower moving air
present in the wake of the fuselage (机舱). Less drag means less fuel is needed to get the plane the same
distance.
Burning less fuel can help passengers" wallet as well as the environment. The environmental implications
of saving energy are as just as clear: the fewer emissions that planes spout into the atmosphere, the healthier
our planet.
But for passengers, we still have a couple decades to wait before any of these planes make it onto the
runway. NASA"s goal is to make sure the planes that MIT has designed can take off by 2035.
B. it will hold more passengers
C. it is designed to save fuel
D. it needs no runways to take off
B. Airplanes are very noisy for the environment
C. MIT"s new design will save passengers" money
D. It"s expected that NASA"s goal will be realize by the year 2035.
B. Researchers are designing greener aircraft
C. Passengers will enjoy lower prices
D. Airlines attract passengers with new planes
B. Science fiction
C. Travel diary
D. Business magazine
