问题    Every day, thousands of managers, bankers, sales-executives, lawyers, accountants, and other professionals are driven to anger and despair by the hard realities of the changing world of work. The once solid foundation for millions of middle-class families--the corporate career--is in a shambles. The Organization Man of the 1950s and 1960s is being replaced by the migrant manager and flee-lance professional of the 1990s.
   The pain of change is all around us. Corporations are rushing to cut costs and downsize before the end of the year. They want to take their lumps in 1991, in preparation for a stronger recovery in 1992. That means an unusual powerful wave of lay-offs will sweep through the U. S. during the last quarter of 1991. Already, the drumbeat of bad news is growing louder.
   White-collar workers will join the growing ranks of once secure employees who are finding themselves on the outside alone, afraid and angry. Who doesn’t have a brother or a sister, a parent or a friend who has lost a job recently? The economic recovery will ease the pain, but it won’t stop it. Forces of fierce global competition and industrial consolidation are compelling corporations to cut entire layers of middle managers and whole categories of professional staff. Few companies can hide from the intense pressure of international competition anymore.
The corporate career is the foundation for ______.
选项 A、bankers
B、lawyers and accountants
C、all top managers
D、millions of middle-class families
答案D
解析 由第一段第二句话The once solid foundation for millions of middleclass families可知，故应选D。
