问题 论述题

我国2007年6月29目通过的《劳动合同法》规定,劳动者在试用期的工资不得低于用人单位所在地的最低工资标准。同时,《劳动合同法》还规定,劳动者在该用人单位连续工作满十年的,劳动者提出或者同意续订、订立劳动合同的,除劳动者提出订立固定期限劳动合同外,应当订立无同定期限劳动合同。但在2008年1月1日《劳动合同法》具体实施前,许多企业却针对那些工龄将到10年的员工发出了“裁员令”。

(注:最低工资标准,是指劳动者在法定工作时间或依法签订的劳动合同约定的工作时间内提供了正常劳动的前提下,用人单位依法应支付的最低劳动报酬。无固定期限劳动合同,是指用人单位与劳动者约定无确定终止时间的劳动合同。)

填空题
单项选择题

A total of 4.6 million digital televisions have been sold, and the sales of HDTV sets have quadrupled since last year. Consumers have bought HDTVs to play their DVDs and to have clearer pictures and wide screens. Only a small percentage of the people who have purchased HDTVs, however, have actually hooked their TVs up to receive high-definition television digital signals. Perhaps television viewers are having trouble keeping up with the changes in technology. Even the manufacturers of HDTVs, like Mitsubishi, Thomson Multimedia, Sony, and Samsung seem to have a tough time learning how to make their sets work with the various digital TV formats because little standardization has been required or implemented in the industry.

Some of the HDTVs weigh over 200 lbs., and a variety of retailers offer a delivery service to the buyer’s home to help install the heavy sets. This is known as a white-glove service and usually comes with an extra fee. After HDTV purchasers get their sets home and hook them up, they will still need to work to get the digital signals to their systems. Most of the industry’s cable providers do not yet offer high~definition programing, and only about 15% of commercial television stations have switched over to even the lowest improved digital pictures. Worse yet, viewers may need to install antenna before they can even get the digital signals to their new HDTV sets. Another frustration for home-theater seekers is that the current HDTV sets allow owners only to watch high-definition programs, not to record them.

A majority of HDTV consumers could not enjoy high-quality digital pictures because ().

A. they did not tune in to the right channel

B. they did not install the system

C. the market retailers created the confusion on purpose

D. the manufacturers did not have a uniform standard for their sets
