【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文]
The San Francisco Denim Company announced today that it was laying off 40 percent of its workforce and closing down a factory in New Orleans, Louisiana, one in Guadalajara, Mexico and one in Windsor, Ontario. Its main factory in South San Francisco and a smaller plant in Panama City, Panama will remain open for now. Sarah Glass, a spokesperson for the jeans company, said that the company took these actions in part because automation at its main factory had made it possible to produce more items of clothing more efficiently there. Ms. Glass also cited increased competition as a source of the company"s problems. Department store brands of jeans are essentially the same as those made by the San Francisco firm, but cost half as much. Finally, Ms. Glass noted that customers were simply spending less money today on clothing. Ten years ago, the average consumer was spending 14 percent of his or her income on clothing. Today that figure is only 8 percent.
