The United States is a typical country
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. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. Business news can appear in every section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. 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. However, the biggest companies are 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.
选项
A、most newspapers are run by big businesses.
B、even public organizations concentrate on working for profits.
C、Americans of all professions know how to do business.
D、even arts and entertainment are regarded as business.
答案
D
解析
情景事实题。从短文中提到“... 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’.”即艺术和娱乐经常被认为是“娱乐产业”或者“影视业”。由此可见,美国的商业影响无孔不入,甚至是在一些最不可能的领域也亢斥了交易的味道。选项D为正确答案。其余的几个选项文中都没有提及。
