問題詳情

四、閱讀測驗【請在下列各題中選出最適當的答案】Fat people are discriminated against in the workplace. According to a government study, many employersassume that fat workers will do their jobs slowly and will be sick frequently. Because of these false assumptions,personnel directors are often reluctant to hire people who are more than 20 percent overweight. In addition, fatpeople earn an average of $4,000 less than thin people do in similar jobs. My own experience as a 295-poundman supports these findings. Although I graduated at the top of my accounting class, classmates with much lowergrades than mine were offered jobs long before I was. Although I eventually found employment, I worked hard toprove myself, receive excellent job evaluations, and never missed a day of work in over four years. Yet duringthat time, several less qualified co-workers were promoted over me, when I complained to my boss, he explainedapologetically that a higher position would require me to deal directly with the company’s clients and I simplydid not fit the corporate image. In disgust, I quit and am now hunting for another job. I hope that when I find one,my new boss will realize that fat people can be productive and energetic members of the workplace.

(A) They are considered slow and unhealthy.
