问题     Maybe unemployment isn’t so bad after all. A new study says that having a demanding, unstable and thankless job may make you even【C1】______than not having a job at all.
   【C2】______that a paid position gives workers purpose and a structured role, researchers had【C3】______thought that having any job would make a person happier than being【C4】______. That turns out to be true if you move into a high-quality job— but taking a bad job is【C5】______to mental health.
    Australian National University researchers looked at how various psychosocial work attributes affect【C6】______. They found that poor-quality jobs—those with high demands, low control over decision making, low job【C7】______and an effort-reward imbalance—had more adverse effects on mental health than joblessness.
    Moving from unemployment to a job with high psychosocial quality was associated with【C8】______in mental health, the authors said【C9】______, the mental health of people in the least-satisfying jobs declined the【C10】______over time—and the worse the job, the more it affected workers’ welfare.
    These findings【C11】______the importance of employment to a person’s welfare. Rather than seeking a new job, the study suggests, people who are unemployed or【C12】______in lousy work should seek new【C13】______that offer more security, autonomy and a【C14】______workload. But that’s a lot【C15】______said than done.
   【C16】______employers could be persuaded to be more【C17】______of the mental health of their workers—happier employees are a【C18】______to their employers. "The【C19】______of work conditions," the researchers noted, "may【C20】______a health cost, which over the longer term will be both economically and socially counterproductive."
【C1】
选项 A、more unfortunate
B、more unsatisfied
C、unhappier
D、unluckier
答案C
解析 上一句提到，可能失业也不算是太坏的事。按照这个逻辑，拥有一份要求苛刻、不稳定且不被认同的工作，可能比失业更糟糕，再结合下文的“从事任何工作都会让一个人比失业时更幸福(happier)”。根据这个提示，应该选C项unhappier“更不幸福的”，表示一个人从事不好的工作会比失业时更缺乏幸福感。
