The United States is a typical country [br]
Henry Ford, the famous U. S. inventor and car manufacturer once said "The business of America is business. "By this he meant that the U. S. way of life is based on the values of the business world. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. Business news can appear in every section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as "the entertainment industry" or "show business."
The positive side of Henry Ford’s statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U. S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. However, the biggest companies are seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U. S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the right to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing--the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high--creates feelings of insecurity for many.
选项
A、reduction in the number of employees.
B、improvement of working conditions.
C、fewer disputes between labor and management.
D、a rise in workers’ wages.
答案
A
解析
语义理解题。短文的结尾说到:“Downsizing--the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high--creates feelings of insecurity for many.”由此可以判断出原来的一些劳动纠纷已经结束了,但是很多雇员还是很焦虑。公司缩减规模——裁减上千的员工来保持成本低廉,以尽可能地获取高额利润——使得他们缺乏安全感。选项A为正确答案。
