B-5

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（A）

(E) III only

我觉得D对，题目中不是说明了政府效率低下的情况是来自公务员的颓废，所以更多的公务员应该被fire，而且正因为公务员占的比重大，才会对整个政府机关造成影响。如果只有1个2个，就不会有那么大影响了。
