资料：It's almost considered sacrilegious today to leave work at the end of your workday or（for shamel）on a Friday and simply not check your email until you return the office during normal working hours.The constant need to check email is the trade-off the modern workforce has made for the ability to work anytime, anywhere, thanks to smartphones and tablets that keep us always connected.But three university researchers have found that it's not just doing a bit of work after hours that cause burn out. The true culprit is actually the constant worrying about off-hour email.A new study "Exhausted But Unable to Disconnect." by Lehigh University's Liuba Belkin, Virginia Tech’s William Becker and Colorado State University's Samantha Conroy shows that employees are growing exhausted by the expectation that they will always be available, never knowing what kind of work requests will asked of them off hours.Typically, companies don't mean to stress employees out like that. Most companies don't have formal policies that say people must answer work emails after-hours. （expect, perhaps, in cases where an employee is on call during specific times）.But policies and culture tend to be two different things. If supervisors routinely email employee after hours and expect a fast response （often because their supervisors are doing the same to them）, then the message is clear: whenever the boss emails, the employee is expected to be available.The solution is for bosses to tell employees that an after-hours email doesn't necessarily require a response before the next work day, and to also set some times when after-hours emailing is considered acceptable and prohibited, such as no emails via the dinner hour, on weekends, or after 10 p. m, the researchers say.What is this passage mainly about?
A：Bosses push employees to work by sending emails anytime.
B：Employees are exhausted by the constant need to check emails.
C：Companies mean to stress the workers out by sending emails.
D：None of above.

本题考查主旨大意。【关键词】 this passage mainly about 【主题句】第四自然段A new study "Exhausted But Unable to Disconnect." by Lehigh University's Liuba Belkin, Virginia Tech’s William Becker and Colorado State University's Samantha Conroy shows that employees are growing exhausted by the expectation that they will always be available, never knowing what kind of work requests will asked of them off hours.一项新的研究“精疲力竭，但又无法断开”。由莱赫伊大学的卢巴贝尔金、弗吉尼亚理工大学的威廉贝克尔和科罗拉多州立大学的萨曼莎康罗伊共同完成的一项新研究显示，员工们越来越疲惫，因为他们需要随时待命，永远不知道在休息时间会有什么样的工作要求需要他们。【解析】题目意为“这篇文章主要讲的是什么？”选项A意为“老板们在任何时候都通过发送电子邮件来督促员工工作”；选项B意为“员工因经常查看电子邮件而疲惫不堪”；选项C意为“公司的意思是通过发电子邮件来给员工施加压力”；选项D意为“以上都不是”。故正确选项为B。
