S. had fewer working hours than any other【C3】______country. Today, it【C4】______every country but Japan, where industrial employees log 2,155 hours a year compared【C5】______1, 951 in the U. S. and 1, 603【C6】______West employees. Between 1969 and 1989, employed American【C7】______an average of 138 hours to their yearly work schedules. The work-week【C8】______at about 40 hours, but people are working more weeks each year. 【C9】______, paid time off-holidays, vacations, sick leave —【C10】______15 percent in the 1990s. As corporations have【C11】______stiffer competition and slower growth in productivity, they【C12】______employees to work longer. Cost-cutting layoffs in the 1980s【C13】______the professional and managerial ranks, leaving fewer people to get the job done. In lower-paid occupations【C14】______wages have been reduced, workers have added hours【C15】______overtime or extra jobs to【C16】______their living standard. The Government estimates that more than seven million people hold a second job.
For the first time, large【C17】______of people say they want to cut【C18】______on working hours, even if it means earning less money. But most employers are【C19】______to let them do so. The government, which has stepped back from its traditional【C20】______as a regulator of work time, should take steps to make shorter hours possible.
【C18】
选项
A、off
B、out
C、back
D、down
答案
D
解析
固定搭配。cut off“切断”;cut out“不再起作用,停止做”;cut back on sth.“大量削减”;cutdown on sth.意为“减少数量”。句中是强调working hours减少,也就是数量减少。故答案为D。
