Q22  (Why B is the correct? can someone translate the question?

In 1992, a major newspaper circulated throughout North American paid its reporters an average salary paid by its principle competitors to their reporters, An executive of the newspaper argued that this practice was justified, since any shortfall that might exist in the reporters' salaries is fully compensated by the valuable training they receive through their assignments.

Which one of the following, if true about the newspaper in 1992, most seriously undermine the justification offered by the executive?

A. Senior reporters at the newspaper earned as much as reporters of similar stature who worked for the newspaper's principle competitors.

B. Most of the newspaper's reporters had worked there for more than ten years. (key)

C. The circulation of the newspaper had recently reached a plateau, after it had increased steadily represented reporters at the newspaper's competitors.

D. The union that represented reporters at the newspaper was different from the union that represented reporters at the newspaper's comeptitors.

E. The newspaper was widely read through continental Europe and Great Britain as well as North America.

题目说北美的一家报社给记者的工资比别的报社给的低。他们的行政官说，这种低工资是合理的，应为他们用大量的培训来弥补低工资。

然而B说，这个报社的许多记者已经工作了十余年了。所以不需要经常的培训，则培训也就不是低工资的借口。

your translation is clean and clear, very helpful for my understanding.

I still need to work harder in my reading comprehension  

平均工资就是低的意思吗？　我觉得用LOWER 清楚一点吧,我做题目的时候就是受了这个AVERAGE SALARY的影响!

GOSH~这解释实在是太精辟了~~
