问题     If you’ re among the two-thirds of working women who earn their living in offices, it’ s far too early to let out a sigh of relief about how healthy and happy your working environment is. If you are among that number, however, you probably already know that.
    Without question, office work doesn’ t pose the risks or dangers of jobs in manufacturing, mining, or even agriculture. The closest many of us come to working with a chemical is when we get toner smudges on our hands from photocopies or apply dabs of correcting fluid. By most people’ s standards, even the dingiest office beats an assembly line, factory, or a mine for atmosphere.
    A white collar isn’ t exactly protective clothing, however. More than 40,000 disabling injuries(including back and neck injuries and muscle pulls)and 200 safety-related deaths occur in offices each year. There are also considerable other stresses associated with office work, including boredom, repetitiveness, and low status, which can affect health. One thing is certain: as the numbers of office workers grow, so too will office health problems.
    In the 1950s and early 1960s the office had begun its climb to economic fame and power, jockeying into position to replace industry as the largest employer in the United States. It was the beginning of what author John Naisbitt calls the "information age" in his influential book Megatrends, "Now," he says, "more than 65 percent of us work with information as programmers, teachers, clerks, secretaries, accountants, stock brokers, managers, insurance people, bureaucrats, lawyers, bankers, and technicians. And many more workers hold information jobs within manufacturing companies."
According to the author, much of women’ s working environment in offices is______.
选项 A、unsatisfactory
B、healthy and happy
C、hard to describe
