The car industry suffered another setback yesterday when Lucas Electrical Company announced that many of its 12,000 workers at 15 factories in the West Midlands would be going on short time. It was expected that they would work a four-day week starting early next month.
"There will be a requirement for some short-time working in selected product areas and the final details will be organized on a site-by-site basis," a Lucas spokesman said in Birmingham.
The factories cover an area from Telford, Shropshire, to Solihull in the West Midlands. Many of those involved are women and the products include alternators, batteries and headlamps. For many families the wife has been the sole earner in recent months.
The Lucas announcement is expected to have an aggravated effect on the region’s rapidly declining economy.
The company spokesman said that not all the 12,000 would be affected; about 20 percent of the staff would not be affected at all.
The announcement comes after BL’s production cuts in the Austin-Rover division with a two-week extended holiday for 8,000 workers because of the sluggish market. Dunlop in Birmingham has made a similar decision.
Lucas said that it was also because of reductions in the schedules of other customers in the car industry. It was emphasized that it was temporary and its duration would depend on how many cars were sold in the coming months. [br] Which of the following is TRUE about the bad news?
选项
A、Workers would work a five-day week.
B、Women would have to take early retirement.
C、8,000 workers would have fewer paid holidays than before.
D、It would make the area’s economy even worse.
答案
D
解析
本题为细节题,应将四个选项与原文一一比较。A的错误在于工人们每周将工作四天而不是五天;B的错误在于妇女们将受到很大影响而不是提前退休;C不符合文意; D是正确的,因为文中讲到“The Lucas announcement is expected to have an aggravated effect on the region’s rapidly declining economy”,其中“aggravated”意为made worse。
