He works ten hours a day, makes more than US $ 98, 000 a year, doesn’ t bother to take holidays, dresses as he pleases, he’ s never been happier and is looking for another job. This 33-year-old, white, university-educated person is the typical Internet worker, according to a study by the Industry Standard, a San Francisco-based news magazine.
There is also a reasonable chance that his employer will arrange his dry cleaning, allow him to bring his dog to work, offer him free massages and give him stock options(优先认股权). And he still thinks people in other firms are doing better.
The typical worker, it appears, not only enjoys an income about three times the national average but also enjoys himself. At present 2. 5 million people are employed by Internet firms in the U. S. The results of the study give plenty of reasons why so many people think the grass is greener in Silicon Valley(硅谷).
Even after tech stocks sharply went down in April, closing many start-ups, there is still a mood of enthusiasm and special advantage among those still employed. So what makes 52 percent of them "very happy"? "Demanding work" is given as the main reason and "salary" is unsurprisingly close behind. Those questioned in the study also listed working weekends and long holidays as signs of the pleasures of the workplaces.
Only 13 percent were paid for the extra hours worked while 14 percent put in more than 12 hours work on an average day. "It wasn’ t all about money, " wrote Maryann Thompson in the introduction to the study, "It was fun. What other job could a college graduate walk into at 10 a. m. wearing shorts and sandals, and spend days with his dog at his feet, working on projects that required real brain power—then leave at 9 p. m. with a belly full of free food, a few happy-hour beers and a big fat check?" The average income works out at $104, 000 with the average basic salary at $84, 700.
The phrase "a big fat check" in the last paragraph means______.
选项
A、a strong and healthy body
B、tasty food for his dog
C、a good result of the research work
D、good earnings
答案
D
解析
词义猜测题。根据“average income works out $104,000 with the average basicsalary at $84,700”可知,程序员的报酬是很优厚的,fat check表示的是高报酬。所以答案为D。
