问题     Adam Smith was the first person to see the importance of the division of labor. He gave us an example of the process by which pins were made in England.
    One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, and a fifth gives it a head. Just to make the head requires two or three different operations. The work of making pins is divided into about eighteen different operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them.
    Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4800 pins a worker. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not have made twenty pins in a day and not even one.
    There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this, but he also took it for granted that division of labor is itself responsible for economic growth and development and it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labor adds nothing new; it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.
Adam Smith mentioned the number 4800 in order to________.
选项 A、show the advantages of the old labor system
B、stress how powerful the individual worker was
C、show the advantages of the division of labor
D、stress the importance of increased production
答案C
解析 根据第三段内容可知，Adam smith表示，十个人在劳动分工的情况下，每天可以生产12磅的大头针，或者每位工人生产大约4800个大头针，但是如果不进行劳动分工而是独自劳动，他们一天连20个大头针都生产不出来。由此可推知，Adam Smith用数字对比来表明劳动分工前后效率的差别，从而表明了劳动分工的优势。故选C。
