For any given task in Britain there are more men than are needed. Strong unions keep them there in Fleet Street, home of some London’s largest dailies. It is understood that when two unions quarrel over three jobs, the argument is settled by giving each union two. That means 33 percent over-manning, 33 percent less productivity than could be obtained.
A reporter who has visited plants throughout Europe has an impression that the pace of work is much slower here. Nobody tries too hard. Tea breaks do matter and are frequent. It is hard to measure intensity of work, but Britons give a distinct impression of going at their tasks in a more leisurely way.
But is all this so terrible? It certainly does not improve the gross national product or output per worker. Those observant visitors, however, have noticed something else about Britain. It is a pleasant place.
Street crowds in Stockholm, Paris and New York move quickly and silently heads down, all in a hurry. London crowds tend to walk at an easy pace ( except in the profitable, efficient city, the financial district).
Every stranger is struck by the patient and orderly way in which Britons queue for a bus; if the saleswoman is slow and out of stock she will likely say, "Oh dear, what a pity" ; the rubbish collectors stop to chat and call housewives "Luvs". Crime rises here as in every city but there still remains a gentle tone and temper that is unmatched in Berlin, Milan or Detroit.
In short, what is wrong with Britain may also be what is right. Having reached a tolerable standard, Britons appear to be choosing leisure over goods. [br] According to the passage, the argument of jobs between unions is settled by means of ______.
选项
A、competitions in their productivity
B、providing more job opportunities
C、negotiations held between the two parties
D、obtaining 33 percent more productivity
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据第一段第三句后半部分the argument is settled by giving each union two可知最终的解决方法是两方各得两份工作,而本来一共只有三份工作,故答案为B。
