问题     Sometimes file U.S. government goes out of its way to prove it can be an absolute nuisance. Take the case of Southern Clay, Inc., which has a factory at Paris, Tennessee, putting out a clay product for cat boxes best known as "Kitty Litter." It’s a simple enough process, but the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) insists that since clay comes from the ground-an excavation half a mile from the Kitty Litter plant--the company actually is engaged in mining and milling. Therefore, says MSHA, Southern Clay is subject to all the roles that govern, say, coal miners working in shafts several hundred feet down.
    The company has been told to devise an escape system and fire fighting procedures in case there is a fire in its "mine". Southern Clay estimates it will lose 6,000 manhours in production time giving its 250 factory workers special training in how to escape from a mine disaster.
    One thing that has always impressed us about cats, in addition to their tidiness, is that they seem to watch the human world with a sense of wise and detached superiority, as though they wondered what the hustle and bustle is all about. If they grin from time to time, as some people insist, it’s no wonder.
Has the company devised an escape system and fire fighting procedures so far?
选项 A、Yes, the company has done so because it is an order.
B、Of course, the company has done so although it is reluctant.
C、No, the company has not yet done it.
D、We could not judge from the passage.
答案C
解析 推论题。文章第二段开头强调The company has been told to…，要求Southern Clay公司制定措施，但是公司估算了有关操作这项计划的开销，会消耗6000manhours。从文章所使用的时态中可以判断出公司目前的反应。
