Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, "The business of America is business. " By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.
Few would argue with Ford’s statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as "the entertainment industry" or "show business".
The positive side of Henry Ford’s statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system creates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.
The negative side of Henry Ford’s statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business—referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the right to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing—the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high—creates feelings of insecurity for many. (337 words)
Henry Ford’s statements can be taken negatively because______.
选项
A、working people are discouraged to fight for their rights
B、there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists
C、there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor
D、public services are not run by the federal government
答案
C
解析
本题属于推断题。最后一段主要谈论了Henry Ford的论断的负面性,文章明确提到:“And the term big business--referring to the biggest companies,is seen in opposition to labor.”这说明大公司大企业与劳工之间的矛盾就是美国商业化运作的负面作用。此后又说:“Throughout U.S.history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages,better working conditions,and the right to form unions.”(美国建国以来,工人不得不为更高的工资、更好的工作环境以及组建工会的权利而战。)选项A与文章意思相反,B、D各为一种现象,没有正面或负面的倾向。可见C对。
