问题如下：
Which metrics are expected to decrease as countries progress from the low- to middle-income category?选项：
A.Average hours worked B.Stress-related illnesses C.“War on talent” between companies解释：
A is correct. Based on trends observed, average hours worked decreased in developed countries and as people’s standard of living increases, people tend to put more price on leisure time. As economies develop and people start to gain more, it is expected that the level of work complexity will grow, and this leads to stress-related illnesses and a “war on talent” for companies that want to have qualified employees for more complex tasks.首先题目问的是low to middle counties，为什么用这种表述而不是用developed和developing这样更通识性的表述，那就说明在出题人的心里，国家分为low、middle和high三种类型，也有在这三个类型里面过渡的国情。那么low-to-middle其实可以很好的对应到中国，现在国际上还没有把中国划分为发达国家，依旧是发展中国家，但中国可以说是发展中国家里面的翘楚。中国在改革开放的这些年以来，其实就是一个从low到middle过渡的过程，在这个过程里，平均的工作时长是增加的，压力也是增加的，对人才的竞争也是增加的。所以说如果解析认为low to middle counties指的是发达国家，那么跟middle-to-high，high国家的分别是啥？如果只有low的国家是发展中国家，那根本没必要分为三档，分三档的意义是啥，就纯粹是为了玩儿文字游戏么，纯粹是为了不愿意用developed和developing来表示？所以哪怕是用排除法，也没有办法很好的选择出来
