Two people will【B2】______work only twenty hours each【B3】______the forty they are currently【B4】______to. It is a well-known fact that those who suffer from stress at work are often not high-powered executives but【B5】______workers doing boring, 【B6】______jobs, especially those on production lines.

【B4】
选项 A、amounted
B、put
C、accustomed
D、familiarized
答案C
解析 本题考查固定搭配。be accustomed to(doing)sth．“习惯(做)某事”，是固定搭配。此处指现在习惯的40个小时，故选[C]。amounted to“总计”不符合文意；[B]put和[D]familiarized不能与to搭配，故应排除。
