[单项选择]Japanese factory workers are guaranteed lifetime jobs, bonuses paid on the basis of productivity and corporate profits, and a wage rate that is not attached to a particular job. Paradoxically, these guarantees do not discourage factory owners from introducing labor-saving machinery. Such innovations are to the factory owners’ advantage despite the fact that the owners must protect the wages of their workers.
Which of the following, if true, logically explains why the introduction of labor-saving machinery is advantageous to factory owners ？（）
A. Before a Japanese factory worker is hired, he or she must present a record of his or her previous productivity.
B. Labor-saving machinery increases productivity, thus yielding profits that more than cover the cost of retraining workers for other jobs.
C. The purchase and maintenance of new machinery adds significantly to the final cost of the goods produced.
D. Factory workers demand a change of procedure in the routine tasks they perform.
E. Limited competition exists among Japanese factories for consumer markets.

[单项选择]Many factory workers find their jobs tiresome.
A. difficult
B. pointless
C. profitable
D. boring

[填空题]Let Workers Work
In these difficult economic times, lots of companies are cutting benefits to maintain profits. So when Fortune magazine recently published its list of the "100 best companies to work for," I couldn’t help but notice that lots of these companies are maintaining or even improving benefits such as medical care, onsite child care, fitness facilities, and so forth. Moreover, it turns out that firms that have made the list in the past have on average also done well in the stock market. So they must be doing something right. Are those on the list compiled by Fortune simply examples of successful companies that can afford to be nice Or is there some link between generous benefits and an organization’s performance
Obviously, there is a link. (9) For starters, it seems perfectly sensible that companies with generous benefits and employee-friendly policies attract a more motivated, higher-quality workforce. (10) .
