The work-week【C8】______at about 40 hours, but people are working more weeks each year. 【C9】______, paid time off-holidays, vacations, sick leave —【C10】______15 percent in the 1990s. As corporations have【C11】______stiffer competition and slower growth in productivity, they【C12】______employees to work longer. Cost-cutting layoffs in the 1980s【C13】______the professional and managerial ranks, leaving fewer people to get the job done.

选项
A、minimized
B、reduced
C、lessened
D、relieved
答案
B
解析
动词词义辨析。这里指“减少”了专业人员和管理阶层。minimize指努力使损失或风险(loss/risk)等尽可能地减小;reduce表示在范围、数量上或程度上减少;lessen表示数量(distance/chance)或程度(influence/suffering/pressure)的减少;relieve减轻(症状),缓和(局面等)。故答案为B。
