问题     In an attempt to improve the overall performance of clerical workers, many companies have introduced computerized performance monitoring and control systems (CPMCS) that record and report a worker’s computer-driven activities. However, at least one study has shown that such monitoring may not be having the desired effect. In the study, researchers asked monitored clerical workers and their supervisors how assessments of productivity affected supervisors’ ratings of workers’ performance. In contrast to unmonitored workers doing the same work, who without exception identified the most important element in their jobs as customer service, the monitored workers and their supervisors all responded that productivity was the critical factor in assigning ratings. This finding suggested that there should have been a strong correlation between a monitored worker’s productivity and the overall rating the worker received. However, measures of the relationship between overall rating and individual elements of performance clearly supporter] the conclusion that supervisors gave considerable weight to criteria such as attendance, accuracy, and indications of customer satisfaction.
    It is possible that productivity may be a "hygiene factor" ,that is, if it is too low, it will hurt the  overall rating. But the evidence suggests that beyond the point at which productivity becomes "good enough" higher productivity perse is unlikely to improve a rating.
According to the passage, before the final results of the study were known, which of the following seemed likely?
选项 A、That workers with the highest productivity would also be the most accurate.
B、That workers who initially achieved high productivity ratings would continue to do so consistently.
C、That the highest performance ratings would be achieved by workers with the highest productivity.
D、That the most productive workers would be those whose supervisors claimed to value productivity.
答案C
解析 推理题。从文中推出，在研究最终结果知晓以前，哪一点看起来正确?研究的最终结果，在文章最后，即：生产能力若不足，会影响整体评价；但超过“足够”水平后，不能再提高评定级别。
