Rising bright and early on a Saturday used to be a matter of survival in Germany.【C1】______ the 1990s most shops closed for the weekend at 2 pm. Today you can【C2】______ into the wee hours every day except Sunday. In most German states shophours are, or about to be, fully【C3】______ . That should lay to rest the【C4】______ that Germany is anti-consumer. But it also【C5】______ a change in attitudes to time.
Germans have long fretted over time. Wasting it is forbidden;【C6】______ is required. The country’s austere Protestantism helps to explain this, but【C7】______ may a culture of industrial might. The efficient division of labor requires a【C8】______ schedule. And the family【C9】______ of a lone male breadwinner set a broad daily framework. With few mothers working, shop opening hours could be short, schools could open for only half the day and child care assistance was【C10】______ .
Yet with the economy 【C11】______ driven by services, this time corset (紧身衣) is gradually loosening. More than half of employees now 【C12】______ their own working hours.【C13】______ two-thirds of all women work, up from half in the 1970s. Then there is digital technology:【C14】______ arriving on the dot, you can send a text message apologizing for being late.【C15】______ , many Germans seem to have trouble adjusting to their new flexibility. There are objective reasons, such as the continuing【C16】______ of child-care facilities, which makes it harder for mothers to combine jobs and children.
【C17】______ , this is all an outcome of rising wealth and ever more distractions. Yet there are also 【C18】______ barriers that keep Germans from using their time better. One is a bias【C19】______ hiring help, which many see as akin to slavery. Germans spend much time toiling at home unpaid:【C20】______ other countries have so many home-improvement stores.
【C20】
选项
A、few
B、many
C、some
D、little
答案
A
解析
few other countries have so many home-improvement stores.德国人花费大量时间自己干家务,不计报酬,包揽下装修、园艺、洗刷等各类杂活,故没有几个国家拥有像德国那样多的出售住房修缮工具的商店。
