[单项选择]Put Down That Tool
The British work longer hours than anyone else in the European Union (EU), which may account for Britain’s faster rate of economic growth in the past decade. But the European Commission wants to put a stop to it. In a recent report it notes disapprovingly that, "The UK is the only member state where weekly working time has increased over the last decade." The commission believes that British companies may be systematically violating the EU’s "Working Time Directive ". This demands that Europeans should work a maximum of 48 hours a week on average. Under the directive, workers can sign an "opt-out", agreeing to work more than 48 hours. Some 33% of British workers have signed such opt-outs, although only 16% are believed actually to be working more than 48 hours.
Anna Diamantopoulou, the European commissioner for employment and social affairs, has a doubt about that. Firms in other European countries have not made much use of opt-outs. But, she thinks,
A. French firms have made much use of opt-outs.
B. British bosses may force workers to sign opt-outs.
C. American corps don’t need any opt-outs.
