    A Pay Rise or Not?
    “Unless I get a rise.I'11 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 corn-pany was in deep trouble because,among other reasons,the Japanese were selling such things 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(加工资)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 (前额);his problems seemed endless.

    Henry Manley's company was making enough profits to raise the workers' wages.
    A:.Right
    B: Wrong
    C: Not mentioned

    答案:B
    解析:
    题目说的是:Henry Manley早已负债累累。第三段说到公司困难重重,Manley不得不降低产品价格和减少利润。但文章只是说Manley利润减少,并没提到其负债。C正确:
    题目说的是:在伯明翰提供给George Strong的工作报酬要好。第一段最后一句话是这么说的:那儿的一家工厂给他提供了一份工作,报酬要好得多。
    题目说的是:George Strong接受在伯明翰的那份工作的话,他将不得不把他的家留在Wyeford。第二段是这么说的:……如果他接受在伯明翰的那份工作,他将不得不把他的家搬到那里。
    题目说的是:Henry Manley的公司困难重重。第三段的第二句话是这么说的:“The company was in deep trouble because…”。
    题目说的是:Henry Manley的公司获得的利润足以给工人增加工资。第三段的倒数第四句是这么说的:……没有钱给他的工人加工资。
    题目说的是:Henry Manley压根儿不知道George Strong为什么要见他。最后一段的第三句是这么说的:他能猜到George Strong找他的原因。
    题目说的是:George Strong是Henry Manley公司最好的工程师。最后一段是这么说的:George Strong是一个很年轻的工程师。公司除非把像他这样的人留住,否则是没有前途的。这些信息不足以推出“他是一个Henry Manley公司最好的工程师。”
