On-the-job smoking is a hot issue for both smokers and non-smokers, and many managers now see smoking as a productivity (生产力) problem. Although some people question whether smoking really affects one’s productivity, it has, in fact, been proven that a smoker costs a company more than a non-smoker. According to Professor William Weis, a smoking employee costs his or her employer about $ 5, 700 more a year than a never-smoker. These costs include medical care, lost earnings and insurance. And absence due to smoking breaks is one of the productivity problems, yet it accounts for a great deal of employer costs.
When the issue of smoking at the workplace is discussed, perhaps the most important problem is the health risk that smoking causes to both smokers and never-smokers. It has long been proven that smoking is linked to lung cancer. Now many health experts warn that passive smoking can cause lung cancer and other illnesses in healthy never-smokers. Passive smoking can be defined as exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke in enclosed areas. Anyone who has been with smokers indeed knows that their smoke can cause eye irritation (刺激), coughing, headaches and throat soreness. While eye irritation may seem a small thing to some smokers, it nevertheless is a problem that occurs every workday in offices and break-rooms and can lead to greater health problems. Employees who do not smoke should not be subjected (遭受) to the risks of passive smoking and need to be able to work in a safe environment. Surgeon General Koop states that the right of the smoker stops at the point where his or her smoking increases the disease risk of those occupying the same environment.
According to the passage, on-the-job smoking affects an employee’s performance in the office in that______.
选项
A、he can’t concentrate on what he is doing while smoking
B、he often goes away from his desk to smoke in the break-room
C、he often asks for sick leave as a result of too much smoking
D、he takes a rest from time to time because of eye irritation
答案
B
解析
本题是细节题。问工作中吸烟为什么会影响雇员的工作表现。定位到第一段最后一句话“And absence due to smoking breaks is…employer costs.”(因出去吸烟而离开座位是影响生产力的问题之一,而且它还占据了雇佣成本的一大部分。)可以知道B为正确选项。A项在文章中未提到;C项是对该句话(absence due to smoking breaks因出去吸烟而离开座位)意思的曲解;D项与文意相反(While eye irritation may seem a small thing to some smokers)。
