A Pay Rise or Not?

“Unless I get a rise, I’ll have a talk with the boss, Henry Manley,” George Strong said to himself. George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in, but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family. That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham, a nearby city about 50 miles away. He had been offered a job in a factory there, and the pay was far better.

George lived in Wyeford, a medium-sized town. He really liked the place and didn’t like the idea of moving somewhere else, but if he took the job in Birmingham, he would have to move his family there.

Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors. The company was in deep trouble because, among other reasons, the Japanese were selling such thing at very low prices. As a result, Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all. Even then, orders were still not coming in fast enough, so that there was no money for raises(加工資) for his workers. Somehow, he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well. He sighed. Just then the phone rang.

His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible. Manley sighed again. He could guess what it was about. George Strong was a very young engineer. The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him. Manley rubbed his forehead(前額); his problems seemed endless.

1、Henry Manley was already deeply in debt.

A、right

B、Wrong

C、Not mentioned

【正確答案】 C

【答案解析】 文章第三段只是說The company was in deep trouble，沒有明確指出公司是否欠債。這家公司可能欠債，也可能不欠，所以答案是C。

2、The job that had been offered to George Strong in Birmingham paid better.

A、right

B、Wrong

C、Not mentioned

【正確答案】 A

【答案解析】 文章第一段最后一句說，the pay was far better（待遇好得多），所以本題是正確的。

3、If George Strong took the job in Birmingham, he would have to leave his family in Wyeford.

A、right

B、Wrong

C、Not mentioned

【正確答案】 B

【答案解析】 第二段最后一句話說，“if he took the job in Birmingham, he would have to move his family there”，意思是：如果他去伯明翰工作，他就只能搬家到那。意味著他沒有離開他的家人，所以本題錯(cuò)誤。

4、Henry Manley’s company was in deep trouble.

A、right

B、Wrong

C、Not mentioned

【正確答案】 A

【答案解析】 文章第三段說The company was in deep trouble，而這家公司的老板是Henry Manley，所以這句話是正確的。

5、Henry Manley’s company was making enough profits to raise the workers’ wages.

A、right

B、Wrong

C、Not mentioned

【正確答案】 B

【答案解析】 文章倒數(shù)第二段說，Manley削減價(jià)格與利潤(rùn)，即使這樣，訂單還是很少，根本沒有錢為員工增加工資。所以本題是錯(cuò)誤的。

6、Henry Manley had no idea at all why George Strong wanted to see him.

A、right

B、Wrong

C、Not mentioned

【正確答案】 B

【答案解析】 文章最后一段說，He could guess what it was about. 所以Henry Manley不是根本不知道George Strong為什么而來。所以本題是錯(cuò)誤的。

7、George Strong was a very creative engineer.

A、right

B、Wrong

C、Not mentioned

【正確答案】 C

【答案解析】 文章沒有提到George Strong是否是一個(gè)具有創(chuàng)造力的工程師，只是說，他是一位年輕的工程師，公司如果不留住他這樣的人才就沒有前途。所以本題答案是C。
