In the past industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of government and which showed need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of the workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disaster or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who had died or become seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking laws which protect the health and safety of workers.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. Compared with today’s industries, what were the industries in the past like?
33. What did the government do years ago?
34. What does the speaker say about industries in the U.S. today?
35. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
选项
A、A company with dangerous working conditions is likely to be punished.
B、There are altogether three departments which protect customers and workers.
C、Stores dealing in foods and drugs are controlled by the local government.
D、The protection of workers’ health and safety is still not well ensured.
答案
A
解析
短文中提到,现在很多政府有专门的部门来保护消费者和工人,并以美国为例,其中提到A third department looks…places…people work,…reports any companies…breaking laws,由此可知,只要公司的工作环境不符合要求,有关部门就会上报,当然这家公司就会受到相应的惩罚。[A]的表述与此一致,故为答案。
