Time! I think a lot about time. And not just because it’s the name of the news organization I work for. Like most working people,[16]I find time or the lack of it a never ending frustration and an unwinnable battle. My every day is a race against the clock that I never ever seem to win. This is hardly a lonesome complaint. According to the Families and Work Institute’s national study of the changing workforce, fifty-five percent of employees say they don’t have enough time for themselves, sixty-three percent don’t have enough time for their spouses or partners, and sixty-seven percent don’t have enough time for their children. It’s also not a new complaint.[17]I bet our ancestors returned home from hunting wild animals and gathering nuts and complained about how little time they had to paint battle scenes on their cave walls. The difference is that the boss of animal-hunting and the head of nut-gathering probably told them to shut up or no survival for you. Today’s workers are still demanding control over their time. The difference is today’s bosses are listening. I’ve been reading a report issued today called "When Work Works" produced jointly by three organizations.[18]They set out to find and award the employers who employ the most creative and most effective ways to give their workers flexibility. I found this report worth reading and suggest every boss should read it for ideas.
16. What is the speaker complaining about?
17. What does the speaker say about our ancestors?
18. Why does the speaker suggest all bosses read the report by the three organizations?
选项
A、They were just as busy as people of today.
B、They saw the importance of collective efforts.
C、They didn’t complain as much as modern man.
D、They lived a hard life by hunting and gathering.
答案
A
解析
在短文中说话人提到,我们的祖先每天打猎或采集坚果回来也会抱怨他们在石洞的墙上刻画战斗场面的时间是多么的少,可见,我们的祖先和现代人一样忙碌,故选A。短文提到祖先也会抱怨,但并没有说他们比现代人抱怨得少,故排除C;其他两项文中未提及,均可排除。
