问题        Executive paychecks might grab the most headlines, but it’s top-tier medical professionals who are bringing in the biggest salaries, according to the most recent Occupational Employment Statistics survey conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
       Leading the list once again is anesthesiologist （麻醉师）, with an average annual salary of $235 070. General and specialized physicians dominate the 10 best-paying jobs in the country. Further down the list, internists, family and general practitioners, and psychiatrists continue the trend. According to the BLS, healthcare industry expansion means that employment for physicians and surgeons is expected to grow nearly 20% between 2012 and 2022—faster than the average for all occupations.
       The lone representative of the corporate org. chart that makes the list is chief executive, coming in at number 10 with an average annual salary of $ 178 400. While the relative absence of the C-suite in the top 10 best-paying jobs might raise a few eyebrows, the occupations at the other end of the spectrum pack fewer surprises. The worst-paying job in America is fast food cook, a job that pays an average of $ 9.07 hourly, or $ 18870 for those employed full-time, year-round.
       In fact, restaurant and food-service industry jobs occupy the majority of rungs at the lowest end of the wage ladder, with various positions in food preparation, dish washing, and counter and cafeteria service all paying at or below about $ 20 000 annually. Shampooers also bring in some of the lowest wages, at an average $9.09 per hour, or $ 18 910 annually, as do theater ushers, amusement park attendants, and farm workers.
       Perhaps more significant than the difference between wages at the top and bottom of the compensation spectrum is how many more people hold low-wage jobs than high-wage jobs. According to the BLS, "Most of the largest occupations were relatively low paying. Of the 10 largest occupations, only registered nurses, with an annual mean wage of $ 68910, had an average wage above the US all-occupations mean of $ 22.33 per hour or $ 46440 annually. Annual mean wages for the rest of the 10 largest occupations ranged from $ 18 880 for combined food preparation and serving workers to $ 34 000 for secretaries and administrative assistants, except legal, medical, and executive." [br] What can we know according to the BLS?
选项 A、Healthcare industry is likely to shrink in the future.
B、There are a relatively small number of registered nurses.
C、The larger the occupation is, the lower the pay is.
D、Most largest occupations have lower wages.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。第二段末句讲的是医疗行业在未来可能会扩张,由此可排除A；第五段第三句提到，就业人数最多的十种职业中,仅有注册护士的平均年薪超过全美平均工资水平,但并未提具体人数，由此可排除B；C）“职业人数越多，薪水越少”，文中没有明确提到，也可排除；D）“大多数人数较多的职业薪水都更低”,与第五段意思相符,故为答案。
