问题 How many jobs were added to the labor market in September in the US?
  
The US jobless rate fell to 7. 8 percent in September, the first time in 44 months it had dipped below the 8-percent level.
    In a key government report, one month ahead of the country’s presidential election, (21)the US said Friday the country’s labor market added 114, 000 jobs last month. It also revised the estimate for new hiring in July and August sharply upward, saying the economy added 86, 000 more jobs than initially calculated.
    The August unemployment rate had been pegged at 8. 1 percent, and some economists predicted it would edge even higher in September.(22)The US Labor Department said the figure dropped because employers added more part-time workers last month.
选项 A、Because there was the presidential election in the country.
B、Because the country’s labor market added less jobs.
C、Because employers added more part-time workers.
D、Because the estimate for new hiring went down.
答案C
解析 本题考查对新闻细节的捕捉。根据句(22)可知，根据预计，失业率在九月份本应该更高，之所以有所下降是因为雇主们在上个月增加了许多兼职工人。因此C为正确答案。
