We cannot hope to solve the more obvious problems of

35、 industrial life, many of which arise from the frustrations created by inequality at work, unless we handle it determinedly.The most glaring inequality is that between managers and the rest. For most managers, work is an opportunity and a challenge. Their jobs engage their interest and allow them to

36、 develop their abilities. They are constantly learning. They are able to exercise responsibility. They have a considerable degree of control over their own and others working lives. Most important of all, they have opportunities to initiate. By contrast, for most manual workers, work is a boring, du

37、ll, even painful experience. They spend all their working lives in intolerable conditions. The majority have little control over their work. It provides them with no opportunity for personal development. Many jobs are so routine that workers feel themselves to be mere cogs （齿轮）in the bureaucratic ma

42、er cholesterol （(胆固醇）level was sky-high. She had been prescribed a cholesterol-lowering statin （他汀）medication, but she never picked up the prescription because of the scary things she had read about statins on the Internet. She was the victim of fake medical news.While misinformation has been the ob
