CRecently many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the workers' life more enjoyable, it does not actually make them work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, the variety is not an important factor. Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way.

Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product.

题目解答
答案
- (1)D
- (2)A
- (3)D
- (4)B
- (5)C
解析
文章讨论了如何提高工人的生产力,提出了几个可能的因素,包括工作多样性、工作自由度、工作贡献度以及金钱和工作时间的影响。
步骤 2:分析选项
A. 工作多样性:文章提到工作多样性虽然能提高工人的满意度,但不一定能提高生产力。
B. 工作自由度:文章提到工作自由度对提高生产力很重要,但现代工厂的复杂机器限制了这种自由度。
C. 工作贡献度:文章提到工人对产品的贡献度是提高生产力的重要因素,且是可以改变的。
D. 工作时间:文章提到工人要求更短的工作时间,但没有提到更长的工作时间。
步骤 3:确定正确答案
根据文章内容,工作多样性、工作自由度和工作贡献度都是可能提高生产力的因素,而更长的工作时间不是文章讨论的因素,因此选项D是不正确的。
