Most men and more than half of the women in North America work. In fact, many people who are lazy and don’t work for a living are looked down upon, such as people who have got a fortune from their parents, or those who receive money from the government when they are young enough to take a job.
Americans usually are expected to work hard at their regular jobs. They have believed that they felt shameful if they did not work as hard and carefully as they could, and God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. This is called the "work ethic". Its roots are in the Bible’s teachings: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat." and "Do not work to please men, but just please God." For 400 years or more, it has been a characteristic of Americans. Historians say that this "work ethic" was perhaps the single most important reason for the rapid economic growth and continuing success of the United States,
For the sake of better work, now companies are much more flexible in the number of days and hours their employees work. Many offices now allow their employees to choose the time they begin in tile morning, so long as they arrive before 10:00 am and work for 8 hours.
In America, there are women who choose to stay home as homemakers rather than to pursue a career. This is possible if the husband’s salary is enough to support the family. These women value family over career, and are not considered lazy by any means. [br] Which of the following is TRUE about the passage?
选项
A、American companies allow each worker to choose the time to begin work.
B、American women who are homemakers are very lazy.
C、Men work harder and more carefully than women in America.
D、Women as homemakers place more importance to family than work.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。本题询问关于这篇文章下面哪一种说法正确。根据文章最后一段最后一句话的前半部分可知,做家庭主妇的女性把家庭看得比工作还重要,故选项D为正确答案。根据第三段第二句话可知在美国有许多部门允许自己的员工选择每大开始工作的时间,所以选项 A(美国公司允许每一位员工选择每天开始工作的时间)夸大了事实,因为“许多”并不代表所有美国公司,故不应选。选项B(美国家庭主妇很懒惰)与文章最后一句话“不管怎样都不会被认为是懒惰”意思相反,故不符合文意。选项C(美国的男性比女性工作更努力、细心)在文中没有提到,故不选。
