In the United States, working longer hours is ______. [br] Which of the following is the cause of working longer hours stated by the writer?
选项
A、Expansion of basic needs.
B、Cultural differences.
C、Increase in real earnings.
D、Advertising.
答案
A
解析
此题为细节归纳题。作者在第7段提出自己的推断。作者认为,之所以美国人长时间工作,而其他国家(如德国)的人不如此,这其中也许是因为存在文化差异。需要注意的是,造成美国人长时间工作不可能是文化差异本身,因为这不符合逻辑。相反,是体现某种文化价值观的东西在起作用。故排除B。接着,作者指出,经济学家过去认为一旦收入增加,能够满足基本需要以及一些奢侈的享乐,工人就会失去工作的动力,而现在他们的收入已经大大增加了,他们仍然长时间工作,所以,可以排除C。作者接着指出,人类比动物更易受到广告的诱惑,聪明的广告让人们相信所谓“基本需要”是在不断增加的,而购物已经是最受美国人喜爱的消遣之一,他们需要更多的钱来满足这一爱好,于是要更多地工作。可见,真正促使美国人长时间工作的不是广告本身(排除D),而是不断增长的基本需要,故A。
