XDF兰书上一道我觉得超难的题，可能是我弱智，不好意思，求教高人

Lark Manufacturing Company initiated a voluntary Quality Circles program for machine operators. Independent surveys of employee attitudes indicated that the machine operators participating in the program were less satisfied with their work situations after two years of the program's existence than they were at the program's start. Obviously, any workers who participate in a Quality Circles program will, as a result, become less satisfied with their jobs.

Each of the following, if true, would weaken the conclusion drawn above EXCETP:

A.The second survey occurred during a period of recession when rumors of cutbacks and layoffs at Lark Manufacturing were plentiful.

B.The surveys also showed that those Lark machine operators who neither participated in Quality Circles nor knew anyone who did so reported the same degree of lessened satisfaction with their work situations as did the Lark machine operators who participated in Quality Circles.

C.While participating in Quality Circles at Lark Manufacturing, machine operators exhibited two of the primary indicators of improved job satisfaction,increased productivity and decreased absenteeism.

D.Several workers at Lark Manufacturing who had participated in Quality Circles while employed at other companies reported that, while participating in Quality Circles in their previous companies, their work satisfaction had increased.

E.The machine operators who participated in Quality Circles reported that, when the program started, they felt that participation might improve their work situations.

我最怕这种EXCETP题，老是做不对，答案给出的是E,可是我想不通，谁来帮我解释一下好吗．

我来试一下：

 A是说：第二个调查是在经济衰退期。这个时期的关于冗员的传闻比较多。列举了他因，削弱

B：没有参加Q Circle的那些员工也report 了同样程度的满意度的下降。这说明workers who participate in a Quality Circles program 而become less satisfied with their jobs的原因不是因为参加了QC的缘故。无因有果。削弱

C：machine operators exhibited的两个工作满意度improved的指标是：上升的工作率和减少的缺勤率。所以最近的survey表现出来的less satisfied并不是说是他们对工作不满意，暗含意思是可能是因为生产力没上升或者缺勤率没减少的缘故。削弱
D：是说，在之前公司参加过QC 项目的，而现在在其他公司工作的个人说对他们工作的满意度增加了。<暗含意思不是参加了QC导致了对工作满意度的下降>同因无果，削弱。
E:是说参加QC项目的人认为参加这个项目会改进他们的工作境况
  与题目里说的“参加了QC，导致对工作满意度下降”的这个结论无关

所以这题应该选E

Open to discuss!!

BTH，这种EXCEPT题型，MM没不必要害怕
用的是一样的思路
只是耗时间了些
稍微仔细点
也没障碍的~~
