问题    Those who work in the Netherlands often feel that a lot of time is wasted in discussions that lead to nothing. There are often meetings with documents, an agenda, and a chairman. All those present will have their say, after which their remarks are discussed.
   He who decides to skip a meeting though he has nothing more urgent to attend to, will find it unwise. The interacting that takes place during a meeting is very important for the general process. He who does not appear is saying that he does not think the subject is sufficiently important, or that he apparently does not take his colleagues seriously. Furthermore, he might miss some of the essential information that may become evident during the meeting. Those who are present show an interest in the problems of their colleagues. They supply questions, rather than commands, and thus declare themselves "co-responsible". The Dutch, in their final conclusions, like to use such metaphors as "We are all in one line" or "Our noses are pointing in the same direction again".
   If you present a decision, you will find that everyone has something to say about it and has questions to ask. This is why the Dutch will not be quick to present something as the only correct solution. The advantage to this approach is that such a meeting will often lead to genuine suggestions for improvement on certain aspects of a plan. As a result, the plan will be a joint approach.
   This time-consuming and seemingly useless process helps colleagues become a team. The amount of time that is lost around the table is more than what made up for inefficiency, once everyone goes back to work. Statistics show Dutch employees are among the world leaders when it comes to work productivity. [br] According to paragraph 1, meetings in Dutch companies seem to______.
选项 A、be held usually for important issues
B、waste a lot of time in fruitless discussions
C、enable employees to know each other better
D、be good occasions for employees to show their talent
答案 B
解析 细节题。根据第一段第一句可知，在荷兰丁作的人常常觉得在讨论中浪费了大量的时间而一无所获，与选项B(在毫无结果的讨论中浪费了很多时间)表述一致。选项A(因重要事件而开会)、选项C(让员工们更好地了解彼此)和选项D(是员工们展示才能的好地方)在文中均未提及。故答案为B。
