以往认为最适合哲学的领域,如今已被对人类存在的各方面经睑作出成功解释的科学所占领。在一个信息技术取得支配地位的世界上,哲学似乎已败下阵来,它至少不能把智慧切成一个个可以测量的小块提供给人们。在20世纪,有无数哲学家讥讽自己从事的学科,认为哲学活动在经历了三千年之后,至今还在希望能把我们引向真理,那不过是遥遥无期的幻象而已。然而,哲学仍然比以往任何时候都受人喜爱,这或许是因为近几十年来,哲学一直从科学和其他学科中寻求庇护,而今已从这种专业束缚中解脱出来的缘故吧。 这段文字意在说明______。
A. 当前哲学所面临的危机,恰恰为其发展提供了机遇
B. 对哲学命运的悲观认识,致使很多哲学家妄自菲薄
C. 哲学智慧内涵丰富,不能仅依经验作为评价标准
D. 哲学现今所获得的独立性,赋予其新的魅力与动力
我甚至要说,它是一个奇迹。世上只有极少数作品,如此______又如此质朴,如此______又如此平易近人,从内容到形式都几近于完美,却不落丝毫斧凿痕迹,宛若一块______的美玉。 依次填入划横线部分最恰当的一项是______。
A. 精致 深邃 浑然一体
B. 精美 深刻 浑然天成
C. 精湛 深厚 冰清玉洁
D. 精细 深沉 精雕细琢
Many people view retirement as a time to stop working. But new research shows that people who take on full- or part-time jobs after retirement have better health. The finding is based on data collected from 12,189 men and women over a 6-year period. The participant.,;, who were from ages 51 to 61 at the start of the study, answered questions about their employment history, experiences after retirement and their physical and mental health. Researchers from the University of Maryland found that men and women who kept working after retirement had fewer major diseases or disabilities than those who quit work, according to the study. Retirees benefited whether the work was a full- or part-time job, self-employment or temporary. While working after retirement is good for you, the data also suggest that retirees shouldn’t take on just any job. Among those who kept working, the retirees who found work related to their previous careers had the best mental health. The study authors speculated (猜测) that working outside a person’s main area of expertness might lead to more stress. Other studies have also supported the idea that working after retirement is good for you. A long-term study of 1,000 men and women born in 1920 suggested that working after retirement was associated with living longer. The participants joined the study at age 70 and were tracked for 14 years by researchers from the Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus in Jerusalem. After controlling for individuals’ health at the beginning of the study, the researchers found that whether a person was still alive after 12 years was strongly associated with whether they had been actively working or were fully retired. Among the 1,000 people studied, those who continued to work at age 70 and beyond were 2.5 times as likely to be alive at age 82 as those who had retired and were not working at the beginning of the study. Another study showed that losing a job at an older age can be destructive to health. Yale researchers followed 4,220 workers, ages 51 to 61, for 6 years. During the study period,457 workers lost their jobs. Being laid off close to retirement increased the risk for stroke by three times, according to the study published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine. What do we learn from the research mentioned at the beginning of the passage
A. The participants were investigated for 6 years between age 51 to age 61.
B. The participants answered questions at the end of the study.
C. People who kept working were in better shape than the others.
D. AII kinds of jobs would be good for people as long as they kept working.
