We spend a third f ur adult lives wrking and anther big part preparing fr ur careers．Histrically，wrk was rarely seen as a surce f meaning and purpse．During the vast majrity f ur 300，000-year human evlutin(进化)，wrk was in fact pretty simple．We wrked t eat and avid being eaten．Meaning and purpse came frm smewhere else，like spirituality，art，religin，r science．
The idea that we are meant t find meaning at wrk r t find wrk meaningful—is a rather mdern，if nt pstmdern，inventin．Only ne hundred years ag it wuld have been frequent t see a wrker wh returned frm a typical wrkday at a factry cmplain t their flks that they didn’t earn much r they were wrn ut and rare t see that they cmplain they didn’t experience a sense f purpse．
Similarly，the idea that we ught t bring ur“whle self”t wrk is a pretty nvel and recent frm f career advice．Its rigins can be traced t William Kahn wh invented the cncept f emplyee engagement 30 years ag．His pint was that emplyees differ in the degree t which they identify with their wrk rle．Sme see wrk as merely a jb and clck in and ut every day，withut bringing their whle self t wrk．Wrk is just nt a cre aspect f their identity，and their cncept f themselves is built n ther scial categries like mther，husband，American，Christian，captain f the lcal sccer team，etc．
Others，hwever，have very lw psychlgical distance with their wrk rle，seeing it as essentially intertwined(交融的)with wh they are．They dn’t just cme t wrk，they are fully devted t their careers and have a spiritual type f cnnectin with their jbs．They are，it seems，almst pssessed by wrk and are the type f wrkahlics(工作狂)mst cmpanies lng fr．

B．T prve that the idea was mdern．
C．T shw us the bad ld days．
D．T cmplain abut the experience．

Wearing a headset t play a virtual-reality game is fun．As yu mve yur head arund，yu can see the scene frm different angles．Yu’re in a fake envirnment that seems s real．But the pwer f VR may g well beynd entertainment．It just might help peple wh suffer frm lng time f pain，a new study finds．
“If VR can reduce sme types f pain，it culd becme a new cure with fewer side effects than drugs，”says Sam Hughes，a psychlgist at Imperial Cllege Lndn．“And it wuld be 1ess expensive．”
Hughes’grup studies bne and muscle pain．One example is sciatica．Sciatica is a frm f pain dctrs call chrnic pain，which is different frm the hurt yu feel when yu hit yur knee against a table r put yur hand in very ht water．It is fairly lng-1ived pain and may even spread frm an initial site t ther bdy parts．
The researchers tested the pain-altering effect f virtual reality．Each vlunteer accepted sme frm f temprary pain．The pain came frm a special cream applied t the skin．The cream cntained capsaicin．It’the chemical in ht peppers that burns yur muth．
They then shwed the vlunteers a mvie．Each vlunteer wuld see the mvie twice—nce in 3D，while wearing a VR headset，and nce n a nrmal 2 D screen．The researchers randmly decided fr each vlunteer whether they watched the 2D r 3D versin first．Using the 2D mvie as the cmparisn allwed them t islate the effect f VR．Watching the mvie in VR reduced the pain in the skin area better than did viewing the mvie in 2D．VR helped them tlerate mre pain in the area f the creamed skin．Hwever，that pain reductin ended a few minutes after remving the VR headsets．The researchers wndered hw well VR might reduce ther types f pain．
12．What’s ne f the advantages f VR t reduce pain?
A．It’s much safer． B．It’s mre cnvenient．
C．It’s much faster．D．It’s mre efficient．
