Corporations are starting to reach the conclusion that desk-bound jobs constitute occupational hazards. So they are spending large sums of money on facilities to keep their employees physically and mentally healthy and productive. In ten years’ time such programs will be so commonplace that people will not accept a job in companies without one.
Informed sources argue that this trend is not just a temporary one, and business health expert James Shepherd, of the Business Health Advisory Commission, emphasizes that "fitness programs are the wave of the future and in ten years there will be very few large companies that won’t have become involved." Some major corporations have already set up various fitness operations, costing millions of dollars to build and to keep up, as a means of both recruiting employees and improving their image.
However, this drive for business fitness involves much more than mere recruitment. Industry in this country suffers annual losses estimated at $ 25 billion a year as a result of employees’ dying before their time, and loses billions more through diminished productivity because of ill health and disability. Indeed, it has been officially estimated that backaches alone cost industry no less than one billion dollars annually in production and the like, and $ 225 million more in employees’ compensation(补偿). Such statistics have shaken large corporations into a realization that drastic measures need to be taken to get desk-bound employees out of their seats.
Even though there is as yet no hard evidence to show the benefits of in-house fitness programs, corporate physical fitness is becoming something of an industry in its own right~ According to one member of the President’ s Council, more than five hundred companies across the country have fitness programs managed by full time directors. Even more noteworthy is the national membership of the American Association of Fitness Directors in Business and Industry. When the organization was formed in 1974, there were twenty-five members. Today their number exceeds 1800.
What is the author’s attitude toward the corporate physical fitness program?
选项
A、Objective.
B、Indifferent.
C、Supportive.
D、Oppositive.
答案
C
解析
观点题。该题问“作者对公司健身计划持有什么态度?”首先,从篇章内容上来说,在这四段文章中,每一段都从积极的方面来论证健身计划的必要性。其次,作者在选词用句上也暗示了支持的态度,如:第二段的开头文章使用了informed sources argue that(知情人士声称);再如:第四段开头文章说到“即使……,健身仍然正在成为一种产业。”综上所说,虽然文章没有一处直接说明作者观点的话,但从篇章安排和言辞的使用上来看,我们仍然可以确定作者是支持公司健身计划的。故,该题答案为[C]Supportive(支持的)。
