Ⅱ.阅读理解科学的英文
(2014·黑龙江鹤岗一中模拟)People tend to have one of three beliefs about the meaning of work and which category you fall into largely depends on your parents, according to the new rearch from the University of Michigan.
Workers who are joboriented are tho just trying to make a living who much prefer the activities they pursue outside of the office. Careeroriented adults — your typical “workaholic” — value the social status and reputation that comes with professional achievement, and gain much of their identity from their jobs. Callingoriented people do work that they are passionate about becau they want to have a positive impact on the world.
In the first empirical study into how the orientations originate, rearchers found that how teenagers view their parents' work ethic is central to the development of their own work attitudes.
It's not a straightforward transfer of values. People who perceive their father to have a strong careerorientation are more likely to be careeroriented themlves, but careerdetermined mothers have no effect on their kids' work orientation. The rearchers attributed this to generational gender norms. When the study's participants were teenagers, mostly in the 1980s, men were more commonly employed outside of the home and were more likely than women to hold “career” jobs with opportunity for advancement.
Mothers do have a notable effect on whether children have a joborientation mentality. Teenagers who are clo to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job when they grow up, probably becau they've been raid to value social, rather than instrumental, life experiences.
Having both parents display the same work ethic has an amplified influence, but only in the ca of callingoriented children. As our society favors money and professional achievement, a child with two callingoriented parents is more likely to have the confidence to ignore the social pressures and pursue his dreams.
Children can affect their parents' work ethic, too. Allowing people to bring their children into the office has been shown to improve efficiency and productivity — and could help rai that next generation of careeroriented workers.
