填空题Businesses Thrive on
Transparency Stakeholders scrutinize business
activity. Corporate transparency is changing the face of
business. Consumers are now armed with new tools to uncover information about
business firms on matters important to them. Corporations have no choice but to
rethink their values and behaviors. Several factors drive this
trend. ·The success of market economies and globalization: As
market capitalism grows globally, the competitive success of firms and nations
depends on genuine performance. ·The rise of knowledge work and
business webs that depend on openness and candor regarding business and
production matters, as opposed to firms' knowledge, which remains in employees'
brains and resources. ·The spread of communications technology,
especially the Internet, which challenges traditional business hierarchies by
making information pervasive, immediate, and impossible to control.
·Demographics and the rise of the Net Generation: Young people today are
more aware of the world around them and have a stronger sense of civil values
than previous generations, mostly through technologies like the
Internet. ·The rising global civil foundation: It's becoming
more difficult to get away with bad behavior. The corporate
world is responding by behaving more responsibly; business integrity is on the
rise-and not for just legal or ethical reasons. It makes economic sense. Firms
that exhibit ethical values, openness, and candor have discovered that they can
better compete and profit. Furthermore, firms can't hide their secrets, thanks
to information and communications innovations. Firms are transparent whether
they want to be or not, and many are opting to make themselves transparent to
better serve their shareholders and the public. The
international banana company Chiquita is a firm that has benefited from this
transparency. Chiquita saved itself from bankruptcy by becoming a transparent
organization with more open, honest, and straightforward communications with all
its stakeholders. Furthermore, a dramatic change in the company's image
occurred: Chiquita has won several awards and is widely cited as a leader in
corporate responsibility. Transparency has resulted in a
network of stakeholders who scrutinize firms, with or without their knowledge.
Firms that don't pay attention to this network open themselves to attack and can
be devastated or destroyed. Those that stay aware of constituent and community
values and behave accordingly can develop sustainable business models.
Other benefits of transparency include more successful business
partnerships and improved employee trust, resulting in lower costs, improved
quality, better innovation, and loyalty. Transparency will also bring about a
new breed of executive, one who has integrity, who leads by example, and who has
the courage to do the right thing. Transparency demands that the corporation
change, from paternalistic, inward-looking, and self-indulgent to engaged,
stakeholder focused, responsive, and responsible. Mark each
statement as either true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.

填空题Every year since 1998, Fortune Magazine has published a list of the "100 Best Companies to Work For". How does the magazine choose the companies? Firstly, it uses a survey. 350 employees answer fifty-seven questions about their company. Secondly, Fortune Magazine looks at important features of companies; for example, pay, benefits, and communication between workers and management. Finally, the magazine compares the results to find its Top 100. To a certain extent, the results are guesswork, but the companies on the list, by and large, have many things in common: they pay their employees well, they allow workers to make decisions, and they offer a comfortable workplace. Broadly speaking, however, the winners tend to offer something above and beyond the norm. J. M. Smucker, a jam and jelly company, give its workers free muffins and bagels for breakfast; at Griffin Hospital, employees get free massages; a bank called First Horizon National gives its employees time off to visit their children's classrooms. Wegmans Food Markets sent one worker on a ten-day trip to London, Paris and Italy to learn about cheese. This is not unusual for the New York-based company, which is well-known for the scholarships it gives its employees to further their education. At W. L. Gore, workers decide on their colleagues' salaries. Surprisingly enough, the most important thing for employees is not money. It is freedom to develop ideas. Timberland offers a six-month paid sabbatical for employees who have "a personal dream that benefits the community ". Let's not forget that all these companies are businesses whose priority is making money. They have to make a profit. And do they? Seemingly, the answer is a big " yes". The number one company on Fortune's 2005 list, Wegmans, makes a fortune. The company, which has a motto. "Employees first, customers second", is one of the fifty largest private companies in the US, with annual sales of $3. 6 billion, according to Forbes magazine. Apparently, being good to your employees is no obstacle to making money. How much of Wegmans' success is due to the company's policies? "Up to a point, the success is because of the freedom they give us, " says one employee. " On the other hand, no company gets rich just by being nice. Wegmans has great marketing strategies and it's well-positioned within the community. Irve been here for fifteen years. Looking back, I'd say that the company's innovations for customers, such as the Shoppers' Club electronic discount programme in the 90s, have been just as important as the benefits to staff. " But the employee benefits are striking. Fundamentally, Wegmans believes in professional development. As well as scholarships, the company gives its employees business opportunities. For years, one employee made delicious cookies for her colleagues. Eventually, she started selling the cookies in Wegmans. "I just asked the manager, " she says. " With hindsight. I should have asked earlier. I could have made more money! " The staff's freedom to make decisions is another thing you won't find everywhere. Essentially, Wegmans wants its workers to do almost anything to keep the customers happy. Believe it or not, an employee once cooked a Thanksgiving turkey in the store for a customer because the woman's turkey, bought in Wegmans, was too big for her oven. One manager says, i

填空题One of the questions coming into focus as we face growing scarcity of resources in the world is how to divide limited resources among countries. In the international development com 66 , the coronal wisdom has been 67 the billion people living in poor countries could never expect to r 68 the standard of living that most of the people in North America e 69 , simply because the world does not contain enough iron ore, protein, petroleum, and so on. At the same time, we in the United States have continued to pursue super-affluence as though there were no limits 70 how much we could consume. We m 71 only 6 percent of the world's people; yet we consume one third of the world's resources. As long as the resources we consumed each year came primarily from w 72 our own boundaries, this was largely an internal matter. But as our resources come more and more from the outside world, we will no longer be able to think in 73 of "our" resources and "their" resources, but only of c 74 resources. As Americans consume such a(n) 75 (proportion) share of the world's resources, we have to question whether or not we can continue our pursuit of super-affluence in a world of 76 (scarce). We are now reaching the point at 77 we must carefully examine the presumed 1 78 between our level of well-being and the level of material goods consumed. If you have only one crust of bread and get another crust of bread, your well-being is greatly 79 (enhance). But if you have a loaf of bread, then an additional crust of bread doesn't make d 80 In the eyes of most of the world today, Americans have their loaf of bread and are asking for still mole. The prospect of a scarcity of, and competition in, the world's resources requires that we re-examine the way in which we relate to the rest of the world.

填空题Almost every new innovation goes through there phases. When initially
introducing into the market, the process of adoption is slow. The early
1
models are expensive and hard to use, and perhaps even unsafe. The
economic impact is relatively great.
2
The other phase is the explosive one, where the innovation is rapidly
3
adopted by a large number of people. It gets cheaper and easier to use and
becomes something familiar. And then in the third stage, diffusion (传播,扩
散) of the innovation slows down again, as if it permeates out across the
4
economy.
During the third phase, the whole new industries spring up to produce
5
the new product or innovation, and to service it. For example, during the
1920s, there is a dramatic acceleration in auto production, from 1.9 million in
6
1920 to 4.5 million in 1929. This boom was accompanied with all sorts of
7
other essential activities necessary for an auto-based nation:
Roads had to be built for the cars to run on; refineries and oil wells, to
provide the gasoline; and garages, to repair it. Historically, the same pattern
8
is repeated again and again with innovations. The construction of the
electrical system requested an enormous early investment in generation and
9
distribution capacity. The introduction of the radio was followed by a buying
spree (无节制的狂热行为) by Americans what quickly brought radios into
10
almost half of all households by 1930, up from nearly none in 1924.

Education Issues
Sara I'm a teacher of French and
Spanish, and I think foreign languages are one of the areas where it's good to
be creative. Young people need to learn foreign languages by sp{{U}} (66)
{{/U}} them and doing fun activities like role-plays instead of just doing
written exercises. Of course there is some hard work in learning a language,
like trying to remember all those tenses of v{{U}} (67) {{/U}}, but I
think it's a good idea to try to make classroom activities as enj{{U}} (68)
{{/U}} as possible. Nick
I left school four years ago, and looking back, one thing I'd say about
the education system is that there are too many ex{{U}} (69) {{/U}}
Instead of being able to enjoy learning about something, you're always wo{{U}}
(70) {{/U}} about when the next test is, what questions are going to

think there should be fewer compulsory sub{{U}} (72) {{/U}}. I had to
study physics until I was 16 but I never had any interest in it, and I've now
forgotten everything I learned. It seems like a w{{U}} (73) {{/U}} of
time. Robert As a teacher for
more than thirty years, I think these days there's too much emphasis on letting
young people "express themselves" in the cl{{U}} (74) {{/U}}, and not
enough emphasis on discipline. Most of my col{{U}} (75) {{/U}} have
problems with pupils who are always {{U}}(76) {{/U}}(mess) around in
lessons. These kids don't res{{U}} (77) {{/U}} the teachers or the other
pupils, and we shouldn't have to put up with them—it should be easier to suspend
or expel them if they don't behave. Diane
These days you see so many young people who can't seem to write
anything, not even a short email, without lots of spelling and {{U}}(78)

to con{{U}} (79) {{/U}} on reading, writing and maths—and sometimes, as
a Pa{{U}} (80) {{/U}} of young children myself, I worry that we've now
moved too far away from that.
