and these years, when they were studying instead of earning money, should be rewarded. At the same time we recognize that the work of the miner and the oil-rig labourer is both hard and dangerous, and that they must be highly paid for the risks they take.
Another factor we must take into consideration is how socially useful a man's work is regardless of the talents he may bring to it. Most people would agree that looking after the sick or teaching children is more important than, say selling second-hand cars or improving the taste of toothpaste by adding a red stripe to it. Yet it is almost certain that the used-car salesman earns more than the nurse and the research chemist earns more than the schoolteacher.
Indeed, this whole question of just rewards can be burned on its head. You can argue that a man who does job which brings him personal satisfaction is already receiving part of his reward in the form of a so-called“psychic wage”, and that it is the man with the boring, repetitive job who needs more money to make up for the soul-destroying monotony of his work. It is significant that those jobs which are traditionally regarded as “vocations”—nursing, teaching and the Church, for example—continue to be poorly paid, while others, such as those in the world of sport or entertainment, carry financial rewards out of all proportion to their social worth.
25. The professional man, such as the doctor, should be well-paid because.
A. he has spent several years learning how to do his job
B. his work involves much greater intelligence than, say, a bus conductor's
C. he has to work much harder than most other people
D. he knows more than other people about his subject
26. It is difficult to compare a doctor and a miner because.
A. a miner's work is not as useful as a doctor's
B. a miner has a specialist in his own field
C. a miner has to learn just as many skills to be able to do his job well
D. a miner's job is less skilled but on the other hand it is more dangerous
27. You can compare an engineer with a teacher because.
A. they both do useful work
B. they both earn the same kind of salary
C. one does socially important work and the other does dangerous work
D. they have both spent several years in training
28 As far as rewarding people for their work is concerned, the writer thinks that.
A. people doing manual work should be double paid
B. we should pay people according to their talents
C. we should pay for socially-useful work, regardless of the person's talent
D. qualified people should be the highest paid
29. The argument of the‘psychic wage’ is used to explain why.
