问题    Those who work in the Netherlands often feel that a lot of time is wasted in discussions that lead to nothing. There are often meetings with documents, an agenda, and a chairman. All those present will have their say, after which their remarks are discussed.
   He who decides to skip a meeting though he has nothing more urgent to attend to, will find it unwise. The interacting that takes place during a meeting is very important for the general process. He who does not appear is saying that he does not think the subject is sufficiently important, or that he apparently does not take his colleagues seriously. Furthermore, he might miss some of the essential information that may become evident during the meeting. Those who are present show an interest in the problems of their colleagues. They supply questions, rather than commands, and thus declare themselves "co-responsible". The Dutch, in their final conclusions, like to use such metaphors as "We are all in one line" or "Our noses are pointing in the same direction again".
   If you present a decision, you will find that everyone has something to say about it and has questions to ask. This is why the Dutch will not be quick to present something as the only correct solution. The advantage to this approach is that such a meeting will often lead to genuine suggestions for improvement on certain aspects of a plan. As a result, the plan will be a joint approach.
   This time-consuming and seemingly useless process helps colleagues become a team. The amount of time that is lost around the table is more than what made up for inefficiency, once everyone goes back to work. Statistics show Dutch employees are among the world leaders when it comes to work productivity. [br] To Dutch employees, one who is absent from a meeting______.
选项 A、does not take his colleagues seriously
B、may have something more urgent to do
C、does not miss much critical information
D、may have nothing to say at the meeting
答案 A
解析 细节题。根据第二段第三句可知，不去开会说明他认为这个问题不够重要，或者很明显他没有认真对待他的同事，与选项A(对待同事不认真)表述一致。根据第二段第四句可知，不去开会的人会错过会议期间可能出现的一些重要信息，与选项C(不会错过重要信息)相反。选项B(可能有些更要紧的事要做)和选项D(在会上可能没什么要说的)文中并未提及。故答案为A。
