(单选题)

According to the passage, what might be confused with working long hours? ( )

A.The belief that everyone should work hard.

B.The fear of being fired by the boss.

C.The act of pretending to be busy.

D.The lack of a healthy working culture.

参考答案：C

参考解析：

细节题。根据confused with working long hours定位到第三段最后Staff may feel that they will not get a pay rise, or a promotion, if they are not seen to be putting in maximum effort. This is easily confused with long hours. 可知，C项：假装很忙的行为，这一观念会让人混淆长时间工作的概念；A项：大家都应该努力工作，尽最大努力；B项：害怕被老板解雇；D项：缺乏健康的工作文化。A项更侧重主观自愿的努力工作，而文中所说只是为了让老板看见你在工作，是一种假装努力的行为，所以C项更恰当。故本题正确答案选C。
