问题 What is the most appropriate title for the passage?
  
In early September, Trinidad’s state-owned sugar company made all of its 9,200 employees redundant. Though most are Indo-Trinidadians and supporters of the island’s truculent opposition party, there were no protests. The workers got redundancy pay totaling 115 million dollars, the offer of retraining, and the chance to continue growing cane as independent farmers in plots on the company’s 31,000 hectares of farmland.
    Trinidad, booming on oil and gas, has plenty of new jobs. Jamaica’s stagnant economy is another story. The government privatized its sugar factories in 1994, but agreed to take them back four years later. Hit by floods and droughts, this year’s sugar crop was a disaster. A shutdown might be greeted with riots by the 7,000 sugar workers and 8,000 cane farmers of the country. Barbados, prosperous and stable, has a different problem. Its neat cane fields are far more attractive to tourists than the eroded scrubland of Antigua, which stopped growing sugar 30 years ago.

选项 A、It is prosperous and stable.
B、It has vast expanses of deserted cane fields.
C、It uses cane fields as tourist attractions.
D、It stopped growing sugar 30 years ago.

答案C

解析 事实细节的找寻和判断。根据题干找到原文中关于Barbados的信息,可知“Its neat cane fields are farmore attractive to tourists than the eroded scrubland of Antigua…”即“与Antigua侵蚀的灌木林地相比,Barbados齐整的甘蔗地对旅游者更具吸引力”,显然,Barbados已经把甘蔗地当作旅游项目。因此,选项C的说法是正确的。
