An Australian company is prepared to give away color TV sets, fur coats, diamond rings and a chance to win 12 000 Australian dollars in ready cash to its employees. The only requirement is that they have to come to work regularly. Absenteeism had reached a point at the company.
Goodyear is a support plant in Sydney, where production lines were sometimes running at only 74% of capacity. And to be efficient, 95% was required. Absenteeism is a problem through-out Australian industry. It seems to be caused mainly by wealth and the wonderful climate. Workers often say, "It’s too nice a day to go to work", and they don’t. Two days off can be made up by one overtime shift, so the pocket does not suffer, either. It also seems that the Australian system of telling people how many sick days they are given encourages them to take the full number. Job tiredness and other factors take second place.
Goodyear began its campaign against absenteeism with a hand-delivered letter to each employee’s home. It explained to wives that if their husbands went to work regularly, and did not miss a day for any reason at all, they would qualify to win one of the prizes. All they had to do was go to work. At the end of the month, those who were qualified were put into ten groups and prizes were drawn—diamond rings, stereos, those who were still qualified were put into the draw for a color television set.
The plant employs 1 780 people and before the campaign started, 150 workers were often away on any one day. In the week just before the campaign, 613 working days were lost. In the first week after it began, this was reduced to 556 despite an influenza epidemic. In the first month attendance improved by between 9. 2% and 9. 8% each week. [br] Many Australians are often absent from work chiefly because______.
选项
A、their work is boring
B、their pay is low
C、they can afford to enjoy life on fine days
D、the climate is wonderful
答案
C
解析
本题问许多澳大利亚人经常旷工的主要原因是什么。文章第二段指出,旷工是澳大利亚工业的一大难题,这主要是由于富裕和澳洲迷人的天气所致。常听工人说:“天气真好,不去上班了”。结果就真的不去了。两天的休息只要加一次班就能补回来,腰包也不会亏损。而且澳大利亚的体制告诉人们可以有多少天的病休,这似乎也鼓励工人们休满病假。工作疲劳和其他因素是旷工的另外原因。由此我们可以推知澳大利亚人经常旷工的主要原因是他们有钱有能力支付得起在好天气里享受生活的乐趣。因此,本题的正确答案应是C。
