问题     More attention was paid to the quality of production in France at the time of Rene Coty. Charles Deschanel was then the financial minister. He stressed that workmanship and quality were more important than quantity for industrial production. It would be necessary to produce quality goods for the international market to balance its import and export trade.
    French industrial and agricultural production was still inadequate to meet the immediate needs of the people, let alone longranged developments. Essential imports had stretched (使…紧张) the national credit to the breaking point. Rents were tightly controlled, but the extreme inflation(通货膨胀) affected general population most severely through the cost of food. Food costs took as much as 80 percent of the workers’income. Wages, it is true, had risen. Extensive family allowances and benefits were paid by the state, and there was fulltime and overtime employment. Taken together, these factors enabled the working class to exist but allowed them no sense of security. In this precarious(危险的) and discouraging situation, workmen were willing to work overseas for higher wages.
    The government was reluctant to let workers leave the country. It was feared this migration of workers would deplete (使减少、使枯竭) the labor force. The lack of qualified workers might hinder the improvement in the quality of industrial products produced. Qualified workers employed abroad would only in crease the quantity of quality goods produced in foreign countries. Also the quantity of quality goods produced in France would not be able to increase as part of its qualified labor force moved to other countries. [br] According to this passage, the French workers were ______.
选项 A、well-paid
B、eager to work abroad ’
C、able to save more money with the increase in their wages
D、reluctant to become immigrant workers
答案 B
解析 由文章第二段可知，法国工人工资的80%用于食物消费，尽管政府给予了一定的补贴，但他们的收入仍仅够勉强维持生存，所以工人普遍缺乏安全感，许多人希望出国打工挣钱。 A、C、D三项明显与原文不符。
