15. In the effort to fire a Civil Service employee, his or her manager may have to spend up to $100,000 of tax money. Since Civil Service employees know how hard it is to fire them, they tend to loaf. This explains in large part why the government is so inefficient.
It can be properly inferred on the basis of the statements above that the author believes which of the following?
I. Too much job security can have a negative influence on workers.
II. More government workers should be fired.
III. Most government workers are Civil Service employees.
(A) I only
(B) I and III only
(C) II only
(D) I, II, and III
(E) III only
先做做看.
谢谢
MM 贴完整标题吧。 谢谢。
I choose B. I)Too much job security can have a negative influence on workers--Since Civil Service employees know how hard it is to fire them, they tend to loaf
III)Most government workers are Civil Service employees--- basing on"This explains in large part why the government is so inefficient."
我选 的是E。
文章的意思：要想解雇公务员，就要付100000的税。公务员们知道要想解雇他们有多难，所以他们通常就混日子。这样从很大程度上解释了为什么政府部分无效。
从文章中的意思中应该推出，政府部分工作的是这些公务员。但是文章根本就没有提到任何关于对公务员的负面影响。I 怎么能推出来呢？
我选E。
说它是一种negative influence太绝对化了。
大家要继续讨论啊，要弄明白才是
UP一下这道题因为我不太同意传说中的正确答案B，及I)和III)是正确的。我选的是正好相反的C，即只有II)是正确的。
The correct answer is B （来源）
I is correct. “Civil Service employees know how hard it is to fire them” (this is job security), therefore, “they tend to loaf” (poor work behavior). The job security has a negative impact on work performance.
我的理解是employees觉得他们很难被fire掉的原因是每fire一个都需要付出之前提到的大量的金钱。很难想明白how hard怎么会扯到job security上去。
II is incorrect. The author does not actually state this one way or the other, he only points out the flaws of the system. Under the current system, it may not make sense to fire them because at $100,000 per employee, it is probably more efficient to keep them on. If the system were fixed, we don’t know if the author thinks employee performance would improve and therefore remove the need to fire them, or if employees would continue to perform poorly.
这解释也有道理。但从我本身作为多年项目经理的角度来看，解决这问题最关键的打破雇员的信念very hard to fire them从而进行正常的优胜劣汰。很显然现在机构中已经有很多人已经不胜任他的本职工作，而且作者也表示了很不满。看起来fire更多的人还是比较好的选择。
III is correct. The paragraph is only talking about Civil Service employees until the last sentence where it mentions the government. If most government workers were not civil service employees, than the function of the civil service would do little to impact overall government efficiency one way or the other.
这条解释让我莫名其妙。题目里应该只是能得出这种Civil Service的思维模式普遍存在于所有其他政府机构，怎么就得出绝大部分政府机构都是Civil Service呢？
请大家一起来讨论。
为什么我觉得只有A呢，只有1？？因为就算notMost government workers are Civil Service employees,government 也可以inefficient啊,这不是必要条件啊
大家加油把这个题给讨论清楚了哈~
