If you like to take lots of vacation, the United States is not the place to work. Besides a handful of national holidays, the typical American worker gets two or three precious weeks off out of a whole year to relax and see the world—much less than what people in many other countries receive. And even that amount of vacation often comes
with strings attached
.
So what’s going on here?
A big reason for the difference is that paid time off is demanded by law in many parts of the world. Germany is among more than two dozen industrialized countries—from Australia to Japan—that require employers to offer four weeks or more of paid vacation to their workers, according to a 2009 study by the human resources consulting company Mercer. Finland, Brazil and France are the champions, guaranteeing six weeks of time off. But employers in the United States are not obliged under federal law to offer any paid vacation, so about a quarter of all American workers don’t have access to it, government figures show. That makes the U. S. the only advanced nation in the world that doesn’t guarantee its workers annual leave.
Most U. S. companies, of course, do provide vacation as a way to attract and retain workers. But the fear of layoffs and the ever-faster pace of work mean many Americans are reluctant to be absent from the office—anxious that they might look like they’re not committed to their job. Or they worry they won’t be able to cope with a pile of work waiting for them after a vacation.
Then, there’s the way we work.
Working more makes Americans happier than Europeans, according to a study published recently in the Journal of Happiness Studies. That may be because Americans believe more than Europeans do that hard work is associated with success.
So despite research documenting the health and productivity benefits of taking time off, a long vacation can be undesirable, scary, unrealistic or just plain impossible for many U. S. workers.
Which of the following countries offers the longest annual leave to its workers?
选项
A、Germany.
B、Japan.
C、France.
D、Australia.
答案
C
解析
此题是一道细节判断题,考查考生根据文章具体内容和相关重点细节进行分析判断的能力。问题问下面哪个国家为其员工提供最长的年假。利用查阅式阅读,我们可以在文章的第三段找到相关信息:根据2009年人力资源咨询公司默瑟公司的一项研究,在近三十个工业化国家中——从澳大利亚到曰本——德国要求雇主给员工提供四周或者更多的带薪休假。芬兰、巴西和法国都是这条法律的捍卫者,它们会保证员工六周的带薪休假。因此,本题的正确答案应该是C,法国。
