填空题Willa I think that the key to a good manager lie in raw brainpower. I graded students on how smart they are expecting the ones with the highest marks to be the biggest successes in the business world. And I think the role of business schools is to teach future managers every aspect of business and only business: how to define problems, analyze them, identify alternatives in a clear and good logical fashion, and finally, how to make an intelligent decision. Ryland My thinking gradually changed, over years of living and working outside the United States, and by serving seven years as president of a business school, As I gained real-life, first-hand experience with various difficulties lying in wait for even the smartest and best-trained managers, I found myself with one ability that I felt a good manager must possess--and that is seldom taught in business school. The ability is to express yourself in a clear, expressive fashion. Good oral and written communication skills are absolutely essential to effective management. A good manager must possess that special set of qualities called leadership skills. To be a good leader you must be sensitive to people and be able to inspire them toward the achievement of common goals. Lovell Many business schools continue to focus almost exclusively on the development of analytical skills. As a result, these schools are continuing to turn out large numbers of graduates who know all about analyzing strategies and balance sheets, but who still don' t know other subjects. I concluded that effective managers must be multicolored human beings who not only understand the world of business, but also have a sense of the culture, social, political, historical, and (particularly today) the international aspects of life and society. This suggests that a large dose of the liberal arts and humanities should be part of every manager's education. Colvin Further, a good manager in today's world must have courage and strong sense of honesty. He or she must know where to draw the line on self-over enjoyment and quick profits, recognize what' s right and wrong and then stick to what' s right. That can be extremely difficult. Drawing the line in a corporate setting sometimes involves choosing between what appear to be conflicting "rights". For example, if you have to decide whether or not to close a factory with a lot of problems, whose interests should prevail? Those of the owners? Of the employees? Of the customers? What about those of the community where the factory is located? It's a tough nut to crack. And the typical manager's career is full of hundreds of them. Making the right choice in situations such as these clearly demands honesty--and the courage to follow where one's honesty leads. Alexander As a practical matter, of course, a good manager must possess the ability to make positive things happen. It is this characteristic, more than any other, that makes a truly successful manager. One dependable manager who can make the right things happen in a timely fashion is worth far more to a company than any number of brilliant, highly-educated executives who can plan and analyze to beat the band but who never get anything carried out. The most valuable manager is the one who says "1 can do it"--and then does. Now match each of the experts( 16 to 20)to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. A. Expressing oneself well is vital to a good manager. B. A clear distinction between right and wrong is vital to a good manager. C. Intelligence is the foundation of a good manager. D. The best way to learn management is to manage. E. A good manager should know what he doesn't know. F. Actions speak louder than words. G. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

填空题Liu: To me, work is first and my child is second. I work more for myself than for my child because it's the only way to be economically independent. Otherwise, I may some day lose everything, even my child. I can give for the sake of my daughter but never at the cost of my career. Only after I achieve value through work can it be possible for me to raise my baby. I resumed working after a short maternity (产妇的) leave. Now my daughter goes to kindergarten while I am at work; I think that is her first step into society. Liang: Nowadays, economic independence is particularly important to women. The only way to realize self-value is through work. I believe women should first live as a social entity(实体), then as a mother. And there are facts to show that women are not inferior to men in the working world. Child is just another part of my life, it would be impossible to make her my whole life. I think I will also get a nanny(保姆) to lend me a hand. Yao: When women make their career as their final pursuit, I think they lose their natural matemal instincts. I hope my wife will put most of her energy and time on child care and family. Because she gives birth to the child, she can do a much better job than the father in understanding the child. The mother should be the main educator while father works as her assistant. Wang: Women are naturally fit for human reproduction while men are meant for material production. Married women must assume the role of full-time mothers if their financial situation permits it; and a woman's value is only realized after she has successfully raised her child. Zhao: Although we may say women's talents lie in being mothers, we should admit that women do not sacrifice their families for work and they are not expected to give up a chance for a career. Both parents need to balance the responsibilities of family and work. After all women are equal members of society and have value in all social fields. Statements A．My child is the focus of my life. B．Family and work are both important for women. C．Men should be asked to return to their paternal duties. D．I would give up the whole world for my work. E．Women need work to prove their own value. F．Women are born to be mothers. G．Women understand child better than men.

填空题At 21, Ricardo Semler became boss of his father"s business in Brazil, Semco, which sold parts for ships. Semler Junior worked like a madman, from 7:30 a. m. , until midnight every day. One afternoon, while touring a factory in New York, he collapsed. The doctor who treated him said, "There"s nothing wrong with you. But if you continue like this, you"ll find a new home in our hospital." Semler got the message. He changed the way he worked. In fact, he changed the ways his employees worked too. He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went wrong. He allowed them to set their own salaries, and he cut all the jobs he thought were unnecessary, like receptionists and secretaries. 1 "Everyone at Semco, even top managers, meets guests in reception, does the photocopying, sends faxes, types letters and dials the phone." He completely reorganized the office: instead of wails, they have plants at Semco, so bosses can"t shut themselves away from everyone else. 2 As for uniforms, some people wear suits and others wear T-shirts. Semler says, "We have a sales manager named Rubin Agater who sits there reading the newspaper hour after hour. He doesn"t even pretend to be busy. But when a Semco pump on the other side of the world fails millions of gallons of oil are about to spill into the sea. Rubin springs into action 3 That"s when he earns his salary. No one cares if he doesn"t look busy the rest of the time." Semco has flexible working hours: the employees decide when they need to arrive at work. 4 It sounds perfect, but does it work? The answer is in the numbers: in the last six years, Semco"s revenues have gone from $ 35 million to $ 212 million. The company has grown from eight hundred employees to 3,000. Why? Semler says it"s because of "peer pressure". Peer pressure makes employees work hard for everyone else. 5 In other words, Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults and expects them to act like adults. And they do. A. This saved money and brought more equality to the company. B. He knows everything there is to know about our pumps and how to fix them. C. And the workers are free to decorate their workspace as they want. D. Most managers spend their time making it difficult for workers to work. E. If someone isn"t doing his job well, the other workers will not allow the situation to continue. F. Also, Semco lets its workers use the company"s machines for their own projects, and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year. G. After years of hard-working, he tired.

填空题Mark Vaught

填空题 Background: Activists gathered in New York City this week to call attention to a problem that has existed for a long time: the pay difference between American men and women. The United States Congress took steps to fix the problem back in April 1963, when it passed the Equal Pay Act. The law requires US businesses to pay women and men the same wage for equal work. But on average, women today still earn 22% less than men. For women of color, the difference is even greater. African-American women earn 36% less; Latinas earn 44% less. The difference in pay costs women nearly $450 billion a year in lost wages. Beverly Neufeld: Beverly Neufeld set up a group called PowHer NY to improve economic fairness. She says the average woman has to work 15 months every year to make what an average white man makes in 12 months. That difference is, in her words, "a lot of bread"—another word for money. Activists point out economic fairness is not an issue that concerns only women. Martha Kamber: Martha Kamber is head of the Young Women"s Christian Association in Brooklyn, New York. She says if women cannot earn enough money to support their families, the whole community suffers. And in the United States, where single mothers lead one fourth of all homes, the pay difference has an especially big effect on children. Barack Obama: Last January, President Barack Obama asked Congress to pass a law that strengthened economic fairness between women and men. But the federal government has not been successful in that aim. So some state governments are taking action. Michelle Titus: The New York State Assembly is expected to pass the Equal Pay Bill this year. It will protect employees who discuss their earnings with others. Representative Michelle Titus proposed the bill. She says the protection is important because employers usually bar workers from comparing how much money they make. Robert Cornegy: Robert Cornegy, a New York City council member, is also urging change. He tells his daughters every day that if they work and study hard they can achieve anything and be recognized fairly. He says he does not want to tell them a lie. Now match each name (1-5) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. He/She supports the Equal Pay Bill which has been passed this year. B. He/She starts a group to maintain economic fairness. C. The community will be mined if women can"t get enough money. D. A law relating to economic fairness between women and men was passed in his demand. E. He/She is the one who put forward the Equal Pay Bill. F. The pay difference will affect a lot on children living with single mothers. G. His/Her daughters believe that if they try harder, they will be treated equally with the men in their future work.

"They not only make it 4 to sleep at night, but they are doing damage to our houses and shops of historical interest," said John Norris, one of the protesters. "If we must have these noisy trucks on the roads," said Jean Lacey, a biology student, "why don"t they 5 a new road that goes round the town? Burlington isn"t much more than a large village. Its streets were 6 meant for heavy traffic". Harry Fields also studying biology said they wanted to make as much noise as possible to force the government officials to 7 what everybody was shaving to stand. "Most of them don"t live here anyway," he said, "they come in 8 meetings, and the Town Hall is soundproof, so they probably don"t notice. It"s high time they realized the problem." The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were mostly on their side, and even if they weren"t they soon would be. I asked if they were afraid that the 9 might come to stop them.

填空题Ros Langford

填空题 Abbey: You can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are! Marlin: I began making some dietary and lifestyle changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer; I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly. Maggie: During my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin. For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that I was in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost ail that extra weight, I feel great! People say all the time, "Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?" and I say, "You just don't. It's not even an option. It's not that hard once you get on it." Belinda: If you are on a diet, you're always hungry, You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch others tucking into piles of mouth watering food while you tuck a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice! And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. Then things will turn out to be even worse. Wood: I went on diet when my doctor told me that my blood pressure tended to be high. Only at that time did I realize the danger of being overweight. Since I began making dietary changes in 1982, eating this way has become increasingly accepted. I don't feel rye lost something after dieting. Instead, I've got something valuable. That is good health.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　StatementsA. Being on a diet is a torture.B. I feel better with vegetarian food.C. I lost weight after dieting.D. I began dieting for the sake of health.E. Dieting enables people to eat more than they need.F. Dieting simply causes endless worries.G. Dieting does more harm than good to one's health.
