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.
In the second part of the passage, the author suggests banning (禁止) on-the-job smoking so as to______.
选项
A、cut down costs of medical care and insurance
B、create a healthy and safe working environment
C、prevent eye irritation from becoming a big health problem
D、improve the smoking employees’ work efficiency
答案
B
解析
本题考查考生对作者写作目的的把握。问作者建议禁止工作期间吸烟的目的是什么。根据第二段第一句话可以明显看出本篇文章的倾向,“the most important problem is the health risk”,因此可以轻易排除A、D两项。再根据“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.”可以断定答案为B。而C项曲解了文意。作者不仅不希望雇员有大的健康问题(becoming a big health problem),而且也不希望雇员在工作期间遭受eye irritation等小的健康风险。
