- 英译汉 Quality of life is about more than the size of your pay cheque. It means being able to spend an evening with your family once a week--instead of keeping one parent at home with the kids while the other works, and then exchanging a few words when you switch roles halfway through the day. It means being able to request working hours that allow you to travel when buses are running so you do not have to walk miles to get to work. Those things matter to workers. When someone on a low wage talks about finding a better job, better pay is just part of the mix. This is why campaigns groups across America are trying to win better conditions--enabling mployees to address questions of health, safety and life quality, alongside their wage gains. Short-notice rotas, as much as low pay or unsafe conditions, are central to a spate of protests across the US.

参考答案 生活质量不仅在于薪水高低。有质量的生活意味着每周能和家人共度一晚——而不是一方在家带孩子，另一方在外工作，然后在中午角色互换时说几句话。有质量的生活还意味着在公交运营时间内上下班，而不必步行几英里去上班。
这些事情对劳动者来说很重要。当一个薪水较低的人谈起找一份更好的工作时，更高的薪资仅仅是部分因素。这就是为什么美国各地的活动团体一直在努力争取更好的工作条件——让雇员在获得涨薪的同时，也能够解决健康、安全和生活质量方面的问题。临时排班与低薪和不安全的工作条件一样，是美国各地大量抗议活动主要针对的问题。

- 8 【英译汉】 Think about driving a route that’s very familiar. It could be your commute to work, a trip into town or the way home. Whichever it is, you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand. On these sorts of trips it’s easy to zone out from the actual driving and pay little attention to the passing scenery. The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has. This is the well-traveled road effect: people tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route. The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. When we travel down a well-known route, because we don’t have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly. And afterwards, when we come to think back on it, we can’t remember the journey well because we didn’t pay much attention to it. So we assume it was shorter.
