问题     A friend of mine is a department manager at a large company. His secretary requested a 10% salary raise.
    The problem was that 10% was a large raise compared to the 5% other employees had received. Was there a win-win(双赢)way out of this problem?
    As they looked at the possibilities, several ideas appeared. The company starts work at 8 am and closes at 5 pm. The manager learned that his secretary got caught in heavy traffic every evening on the way home. They agreed to have her work from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. This saved her at least 20-25 minutes driving time, a benefit to her at little or no loss to the company.
    They then studied her job in detail. Before long they jointly developed a new idea which gave her more responsibilities, and, at the same time, more interesting work.
    Both parties benefited from the changed arrangement of work. The raise itself was then discussed. A decision was made by agreeing on a 6% raise for three months and then an additional 2% later if the new responsibilities were properly performed.
According to the passage, to achieve a win-win result the company agreed to______.
选项 A、give the secretary fewer responsibilities
B、allow the secretary to work from home
C、change the secretary’s work time
D、reduce the secretary’s work load
答案C
解析 细节推断题。由题干中的agreed to定位到文章第三段第四句。第三段第二句提到了公司正常的作息时间：早晨8点上班，下午5点下班。第四句指出，公司同意秘书的工作时间为早晨7：30至下午4：30。由此可见，为了达到双赢的目的，公司调整了秘书的工作时间。因此可以确定C)“改变秘书的工作时间”为本题的答案。
