问题     In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the workers’ life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, the variety is not an important factor.
    Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is the degree of workers’ contribution an important, factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about.
    To what extent more money led to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.
According to the passage, why do workers want more money?
选项 A、Because their jobs are too boring.
B、Because they want to enjoy more spare time.
C、Because they want to make their jobs more interesting.
D、Because they demand shorter working hours.
答案A
解析 根据最后一段：But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring。选项B说：Because they want to enjoy more spare time，即工人们享受更多的闲暇时间与原文并不完全一致，原文是enjoy more，即“更好享受”，而非选项中的“享受更多的时间”。
