    In the past twenty years, there has been an increasing tendency for workers to move from one country to another.【C1】______some newly independent countries have understandably restricted most jobs to local people, others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers.

They are nearly always on contract, so it is not easy for them to plan a-head with great confidence.

解析 所给的四个选项都是语法连词,但意义各异。这个句子的主从句表达了两种不同的情况,即some newly independent countries和other countries的不同,用while来连接表示对比。又如:While we eat rice as our staple food,they eat bread as theirs.
