Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks.

In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied But more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes workers’ life more enjoyable, it does not actually make them work harder As far as increasing productivity is concerned, the variety is not an important factor Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to creat it Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line It would seem that not only is the degree of worker’s contribution an important factor, but it is also one we can something about To what extent more money led to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important But perhaps they want more money only because the work they is so boring Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more enjoyable, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them
