单选题Too many cars? Everyone agrees that there are simply too many cars on the road but who will be the first to stop using theirs? Although everyone hates being stuck in traffic, no one sees their cars as part of the growing problem. However, with traffic growth up to 84 per cent expected by 2025 and the ever-increasing cost of accidents and delays already at $160 bn in Europe, there is a growing need to change our 'culture' and develop alternative forms of transport as quickly as possible. One answer is to make cars more expensive by increasing taxes on petrol. However, tax increases will affect the people who live in the country more than city drivers and do little to reduce inner city traffic. The Government is also looking at pay-as-you-drive schemes on motorways but this will push cars on to smaller 'free' roads, which will make the problem worse, A successful transport policy is not just a question of making the car too expensive but of offering car drivers a real alternative. Many motorists dislike driving to work but say public transport services are too slow, offer poor quality and are tar too expensive. If new transport policies are to succeed, public transport needs to be quick, reliable and affordable. Transport planners are also developing ways of managing the existing road network more efficiently. New technology such as smart cards and electronic monitoring of roads will lead to a more efficient use of transport systems. However, technology will not reduce the number of cars on the road or solve the real problem of how to persuade car drivers to leave their beloved cars at home more often.

单选题"GRAY-COLLAR" For the first time, Shanghai has officially put forward the concept of "gray-collar workers", which refers to technicians with a high-level of creativity and professional skills, in order to encourage more young people to take up these neglected positions. Twenty-five occupations with 15,000 job positions—such as digital-controlled machine operator and fashion designer—are included in the first batch of "gray collars," mainly in the digital manufacturing industry, according to the Shanghai Labor and Social Security Bureau. Unlike either white collars like management professionals or blue-collar operation workers, gray collar is a new class of workers with a high educational background and strong practicing ability, officials said. It is a distinct group and not a transitory class between the white and blue, officials stressed. "The concept was put forward in accordance with Shanghai's position as the world's center of digital manufacturing, as well as to help solve unemployment among locals, especially youth," said Zhu Junyi, the bureau director. According to Zhu, some 40 percent of the unemployed in the city are young people who failed to find a steady job after their graduation, which is the second biggest jobless group after middle-aged laid-off workers. Though an increasing number of local university graduates face great job pressure, many posts, especially those for skilled technicians, are still vacant. "Most university graduates hope to become white collar workers after graduation, which means there is a big crowd for management positions. But demand for gray collar positions is much larger than the current supply," Zhu said. In this regard, the Shanghai Career Training and Guidance Center will launch a series of profession al training courses for locals who will become gray collars.

单选题Trading PlacesWendy Ledger looks at job swapping, a staff development scheme in which employees exchange jobs for a short period. According to a recent survey, 77 per cent of people would prefer to work for a boss who offers training and learning in the workplace. One increasingly popular project is job swapping, which gives an insight into the daily challenges facing different people in different roles. Olivia Yost is a divisional manager with Parker Bridge Ltd, and she recently swapped jobs with the salary controller there. Both were then able to appreciate the problems and pressures of each other's roles far more clearly. Yost says, 'I now have a better understanding of what the salary controller's work involves, and am more aware of my colleague's deadlines. This type of cross training is important, and having to learn about another person's role is a useful experience for bosses and employees alike. Job swapping also helps you to understand the way other departments work and gives you access to other teams within your firm. So it is of value both to the individual and the company as a whole.' Sean Bradley, who works in central London, took his job exchange a lot further - all the way to Australia in fact. Last July, Sean and his colleague in the Sydney branch of their company swapped jobs. 'I loved it,' said Bradley. 'Primarily for geo- graphic reasons, but also because of the challenge of being the final decision-maker rather than reporting to a manager. It was my first management experience and I had to improve my skills on some IT specialisa-tions. I learnt a lot there, and it was useful too - I've had two promotions since I returned to London.' Job swapping is an excellent first step towards improving and bringing variety to training and education in the workplace. Doing something else, even for one day, can highlight your abilities and talents, while at the same time drawing attention to any weaknesses. It can also focus the mind on future career possibilities. And even if you hate your time spent at someone else's desk, the worst that can happen is that you'll end up feeling that little bit better about returning to your usual job.

单选题{{B}} Questions 16-22{{/B}} · Read the following text. · Are the sentences 16-22 “right” or “wrong”? If there is not enough information to answer “Right” or “wrong”, choose “Doesn't say”. · For each sentence (16-22), mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet. Although the situation at the negotiation table is always changeable, it is necessary to make out a detailed plan for the forthcoming negotiation. “Top line” and “bottom line” should be decided. For many negotiations in which more complex issues exist than the single factor of price, it is more useful to identify a “best achievable” top line. The negotiators of course hope for the best, but the fact is that their “best” is hardly satisfied. The limitation of the top line is affected by many factors. The negotiators should be considerate of the other party. They should not be too aggressive even when they are in a favourable position. They can not be too optimistic. If one party demands too much, the negotiation often results in a failure. The bottom line, on the other hand, is the last “line of defence”, which the negotiators will not give up. When setting the bottom line, over-optimism about probable outcome is often linked to a failure to give the bottom line adequate consideration. Identifying the bottom line is perhaps more important then setting the original target. Flexibility in setting the best achievable target is essential.
