Today, it【C4】______every country but Japan, where industrial employees log 2,155 hours a year compared【C5】______1, 951 in the US and 1,603【C6】______West employees.

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 would【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.

【C19】
选项
A、discouraged
B、unwilling
C、forbidden
D、inclined
答案
B
解析
语义衔接题。本句是描述当个人希望减少工作时间时,雇主们的态度。根据文章大意,很明显,雇主们unwilling“不愿意”这样做。[B]unwilling符合语义,为本题答案。[A]discouraged“使灰心,使泄气”,不能与语义衔接;[C]forbidden用在此处,不符合文意;[D]inclined to“倾向于”,与文意相反。
