An Australian company is prepared to give away color TV sets, fur coats, diamond rings and a chance to win 12 000 Australian dollars in ready cash to its employees. The only requirement is that they have to come to work regularly. Absenteeism had reached a point at the company.
Goodyear is a support plant in Sydney, where production lines were sometimes running at only 74% of capacity. And to be efficient, 95% was required. Absenteeism is a problem through-out Australian industry. It seems to be caused mainly by wealth and the wonderful climate. Workers often say, "It’s too nice a day to go to work", and they don’t. Two days off can be made up by one overtime shift, so the pocket does not suffer, either. It also seems that the Australian system of telling people how many sick days they are given encourages them to take the full number. Job tiredness and other factors take second place.
Goodyear began its campaign against absenteeism with a hand-delivered letter to each employee’s home. It explained to wives that if their husbands went to work regularly, and did not miss a day for any reason at all, they would qualify to win one of the prizes. All they had to do was go to work. At the end of the month, those who were qualified were put into ten groups and prizes were drawn—diamond rings, stereos, those who were still qualified were put into the draw for a color television set.
The plant employs 1 780 people and before the campaign started, 150 workers were often away on any one day. In the week just before the campaign, 613 working days were lost. In the first week after it began, this was reduced to 556 despite an influenza epidemic. In the first month attendance improved by between 9. 2% and 9. 8% each week.
The campaign of prize-awarding for attendance______.
选项
A、was a success
B、was a failure
C、gained 556 working days
D、suffered from an influenza epidemic
答案
A
解析
本题是一道总结归纳下结论类问题。问上班获奖活动的结果如何。文章最后一段指出,公司有1 780名雇员,开展活动前,无论哪一天都有150名工人旷工。活动前一周内工厂损失613个工作日,活动开始后第一周,尽管发生了流行性感冒,但工作日损失已减少到556个,此后的第一个月里,每周出勤率提高了9.2%到9.8%。由此可知,此项活动获得了成功。因此,本题的正确答案应是A。
