Questions 1-5

　　 One of the most disturbing statistics I''''ve read for a long time was published this week. The Work Foundation claims that job satisfaction in this country has fallen alarmingly. Women''''s satisfaction level has fallen from 51 percent in 1992 to 29 percent today; men''''s has fallen from 35 percent to 20. The reason-the long-hours culture and job insecurity.
　　 For my father''''s generation, work was something that had to be endured so that real life could be maintained. But my generation has been gulled into thinking that work is real life. Most work is not satisfying. Most work stinks. Most work, however well paid, is meaningless and dull. But somehow we''''ve been convinced that work provides self-fulfillment.
　　 Before Mrs Thatcher, we had a famous British attitude to work--the less we did the better. Thatcher introduced the idea that, in a world where identity was so fragile, you could become real through work, through long hours and assiduous consumption, in the small amount of time you had been left after clocking off. Now Blair carries on the crusade, I''''ve got one of the best jobs in the world--siV3ng in an once by myself all day trying to make up something that someone somewhere wit! be interested in. But I''''d rather be stretched out in front of the TV, or in bed, or playing tennis, or doing just about anything else.
