Most men and more than half of the women in North America work. In fact, many people who are lazy and don’t work for a living are looked down upon, such as people who have got a fortune from their parents, or those who receive money from the government when they are young enough to take a job.
Americans usually are expected to work hard at their regular jobs. They have believed that they felt shameful if they did not work as hard and carefully as they could, and God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. This is called the "work ethic". Its roots are in the Bible’s teachings: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat." and "Do not work to please men, but just please God." For 400 years or more, it has been a characteristic of Americans. Historians say that this "work ethic" was perhaps the single most important reason for the rapid economic growth and continuing success of the United States,
For the sake of better work, now companies are much more flexible in the number of days and hours their employees work. Many offices now allow their employees to choose the time they begin in tile morning, so long as they arrive before 10:00 am and work for 8 hours.
In America, there are women who choose to stay home as homemakers rather than to pursue a career. This is possible if the husband’s salary is enough to support the family. These women value family over career, and are not considered lazy by any means.
The best title of the passage might be ______.
选项
A、The Development of American "Work Ethic"
B、Flexible Working-time Arrangements
C、The Work in America
D、The Role of Work in America
答案
C
解析
主旨大意题。本题询问这篇文章最恰当的标题是下面哪一个。这篇文章主要是讲美国的工作情况,具体讲了美国性别工作情况、“职业道德”、灵活的工作时间和家庭主妇的工作情况,所以选项C最合适。选项A(美国“职业道德”的发展)是文章第二段的内容,选项B(灵活的工作安排时间)是第三段的主要内容,选项D(美国工作的地位)只在第二段最后一句话间接提到过。这三个选项只是涉及了文章当中某一部分的内容,均不够全面,故不选。
