At that time I had just come back from Burma, where unemployment was only a word, and I had
38、 gone to Burma when I was still a boy and the post-war boom was not quite over. When I first saw unemployed men at close quarters, the thing that horrified and amazed me was to find that many of them were ashamed of being unemployed. I was very ignorant, but not so ignorant as to imagine that when t

But at that time nobody cared to admit that unemployment was inevitable, because this meant admitting that it would probably continue. The mid

I remember the shock of astonishment it gave me, when I first mingled with tramps and beggars, t
41、o find that a fair proportion, perhaps a quarter, of these beings whom I had been taught to regard as cynical parasites, were decent young miners and cotton workers gazing at their destiny with the same sort of dumb amazement as an animal in a trap. They simply could not understand what was happenin
42、g to them. They had been brought up to work, and behold! It seemed as if they were never going to have the chance of working again. In their circumstances it was inevitable, at first, that they should be haunted by a feeling of personal degradation. That was the attitude towards unemployment in thos
43、e days: it was a disaster that happened to you as an individual and for which you were to blame.（分数：0.99）(1).Why did any of the unemployed feel ashamed of their condition?（分数：0.33）A.They imagined they were to blame for being out of work.B.They had to live no the unemployment benefits.C.They should h
44、ave been working instead of doing nothing.D.They had to admit that unemployment would probably continue(2).The passage suggests that about a quarter of the tramps and beggars the author met were_.（分数：0.33）A.cynical parasitesB.like animals in a trapC.once good at miningD.young people(3).According to the passage, the author s attitude to unemployment is that_.（分数：0.33）A.the individuals were to blameB.the loss of overseas trade was to blameC.the unemploye
