Ours has become a society of employees. A hundred years or so ago only one out of every five Americans at work was employed, i. e. , worked for somebody else. Today only one out of five is not employed but working for himself. And when fifty years ago "being employed" meant working as a factory laborer or as a farmhand, the employee of today is increasingly a middle-class person with a substantial formal education, holding a professional or management job requiring intellectual and technical skills. Indeed, two things have characterized American society during these last fifty years: middle-class and upper-class employees have been the fastest growing groups in our working population--growing so fast that the industrial worker, that oldest child of the Industrial Revolution, has been losing in numerical importance despite the expansion of industrial production.
Yet you will find little if anything written on what it is to be an employee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to get a job or how to get a promotion. You can also find a good deal of work in a chosen field, whether it be the mechanist’s trade or book-keeping(簿记). Every one of these trades requires different skills, sets different standards, and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have employeeship in common. And increasingly, especially in the large business or in government, employeeship is more important to success than the special professional knowledge or skill. Certainly more people fail because they do not know the requirements of being an employee than because they do not adequately possess the skills of their trade; the higher you climb the ladder, the more you get into administrative or executive work, the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the organization rather than on technical abilities or professional knowledge. [br] According to the passage, with the development of modern industry, ______.
选项
A、factory labors will overtake intellectual employees in number
B、there are as many middle-class employees as factory laborers
C、employers have attached great importance to factory laborers
D、the proportion of factory laborers in the total employee population has decreased
答案
D
解析
细节理解题。本题涉及对第一段最后一句中...losing in numerical importance的确切理解。其含义是:由于脑力劳动的雇员比例迅速增大,使得作为工业革命最早产物的产业工人在人员数量上失去了优势。所以选项D是正确答案。
