閱讀下列材料,從所給的6個選項(ABCDEF)中,選出符合各小題要求的最佳選項,其中有一項是多余選項。
Mike Smith, Tom Brown, Bob Davis, Baker, Slater are giving their opinions on the strike(罷工)
________ 1.Mike Smith
It wasn’t an easy decision, but we’ve been asking for a decent wage for years.Now at last people are beginning to listen to us because we work day and night to keep this country alive and what do we get?-200 dollars a week.That’s not enough to raise a family at today’s prices.Inflation this year was 32 percent.We’ve only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages.250 dollars a week, that’s all.It’s a pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by our strike.That’s what you should blame.Blame the government for refusing our claim.
________ 2.Tom Brown
It’s totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation.If wages go up, so do prices.If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the certain result that the crisis would become uncontrollable.What we’re trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people.We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase.And that’s already too much.My stand at this meeting is to persuade the Union to see reason.
________ 3.Bob Davis
Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves.The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs.Moreover, the very image of the trade union movement will be harmed.Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn’t be allowed to strike.Of course the electricity workers want to get more money.Don’t we all? Of course we all do.But we’re not asking for 250 dollars a week.Why should they?
________ 4.Baker
My opinion is“Get the Army in”.All the power stations should be managed by the army.The strikers should be thrown into prison.That’s what this country needs.Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don’t like their jobs, nobody’s forcing them to work.They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to.Perhaps they’d keep their mouths shut then.
________ 5.Slater
Let’s face it.It’s neither here nor there.The electricity workers are in a strong position.Perhaps we can’t do anything about it.What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work.I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers’ money all the time on trivial things.How can anyone say 250 dollars is “too much”? Pop singers get more.Nurses get less.It’s just one of those things.
A.A 10% increase is already too much, and I’m here to persuade the Union to see reason.
B.We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved.
C.I think that the government should give in to the electricity worker’s demands.
D.I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison.
E.I must make you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lost their jobs.
F.We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim.
