Nowadays, the only way to guarantee an eight-hour working day is to have the kind of job where you clock on and off. Those professionals who have managed to limit their hours to what was, 20 years ago, the average do not wish to identify themselves. 'I can quite easily achieve my work within a normal day, but I don't like to draw attention to it,' says one sales manager. 'People looked at me when I left at 5 o'clock. Now, I put paperwork in my bag. People assume I'm doing extra hours at home.' But more typical is Mark, who works as an account manager. He says, 'My contract says I work from 9 until 5 with extra hours as necessary. It sounds as if the extra hours are exceptional. In fact, my job would be enough not only for me, but also for someone else part-time. The idea of an eight-hour day makes me laugh!' He says he has thought about going freelance but realises that this doesn't guarantee better working hours. Professor Cary Cooper, occupational psychologist at the University of Manchester, is the author of the annual Quality of Working Life survey. The most recent survey found that 77% of managers in Britain work more than their contracted hours, and that this is having a damaging effect on their health, relationships and productivity. Professor Cooper is critical of the long-hours culture. He says that while bosses believe long hours lead to greater efficiency, there is no evidence to support this. 'In fact, the evidence shows that long hours make you iii.' There are, he says, steps that can be taken. One is to accept that the in-tray will never be empty. 'There are always things to do. You just have to make the rule that on certain days you go home early.' Prioritising work and doing essential tasks first helps, he says. He also thinks it's time to criticise bad employers and unreasonable terms of employment. 'By all means, show commitment where necessary but when expectations are too high, people have to begin saying openly that they have a life outside of work.' Personal development coach Mo Shapiro agrees that communication is important. Staff need to talk to managers about the working practices within a company. Both parties should feel that the expectations are realistic and allow them to have responsibilities and interests outside work. She recognises, however, that in many organisations the response might well be, 'If you want more interests outside work, then find another job'. She believes that senior staff have a duty to set an example. 'I recently worked for a firm of solicitors where the partners started at 7.30am. What kind of message is that to send to the staff?' She believes there is no shame in working sensible hours - in fact quite the reverse. 'Some people might be in at 7.30 but will be doing very little. You can work really hard from 9 to 5 and achieve the same. If you find it difficult to achieve an eight-hour day, there is, as a last resort, the old trick of leaving your jacket on your chair and your computer switched on, even after you have left the building.'

填空题{{B}}PART THREE{{/B}}·Read the article below about public relations. For each question 13-18, mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet, for the answer you choose. {{B}}Public Relations{{/B}}A company does not function in a vacuum, but rather as part of a society. That society consists of the people who work for it, the people and companies that do business with it, the public at large, and the government that regulates and taxes it. These groups are known as a company's "publics." In order for a company to deal with these publics effectively, a relationship of trust must exist. Employees will not cooperate with or put forth their best efforts for a company that they do not trust or that they fed is taking advantage of them. The public will not buy products or services from a company that, in their view, is not responsible or trustworthy. And the government, as the protector of the society it governs, is especially vigilant in dealing with a company that it regards as not operating in the public interest. Given these circumstances, every business, whether it is a giant corporation or a small factory, a five-star hotel or a roadside tavern, needs to give some thought to the relationship it has with all the various publics it interacts with. The techniques that a company uses to improve these relationships are known as "public relations", also called "PR".The goal of public relations is usually to improve the climate or atmosphere in which a company operates. Here are some results a company might expect from a successful public relations campaign:·Its products and services are better known.·Its relationship with employees has improved.·Its public reputation has improved.A successful public relations campaign can get people to do something that will help a company, stop them from doing something that might hurt it, or at least allow the company to proceed with a course of action without criticism. "An organization with good public relations has a favourable image or reputation, perhaps as a result of pubic relations activities." Says Richard Weiner, a noted and award-winning public relations counselor. In developing and implementing public relations plans, companies often use a simple five-step process: research or fact finding, planning, action, communication, and evaluation.A classic example of public relation at work is McDonald's. it has always been important to McDmald's to be known as a company that values cleanliness. Indeed, founder Ray Kroc emphasized cleanliness along with quality, service, and value as being the four most important things in any McDonald's operation. For that reason, Kroc instructed the first McDonald's franchisees to pick up all litter within a two block radius of their stores, whether it was McDonald's litter or not. The company also did many other things to help protect the environment. In 1990, it announced a program called McRecycle in which McDonald's committed itself to buy ＄ 100 million in recycled materials for use in building and remodeling its restaurants. It is important to understand the role public relations has played in all the company's decisions. McDonald's has always been socially responsible and extremely concealed about its image.These two facts are part and parcel of its public relationships. To McDonald's, public relationships activities go much deeper than simply sending out press releases and having corporate officers serve on various charitable boards. The company understands that real public relations means taking significant actions first, then announcing them to the public. Without the first step, the second would be meaningless. Many companies do not understand this basic principle: If you want to make news, you must first do something newsworthy.

填空题ASeated behind the front desk at a New York firm, the receptionist was efficient, stylishly dressed, the firm's newest employee had a pleasant telephone voice and a natural charm that put clients at ease. The company was pleased: Clearly, this was a person who took considerable pride in personal appearance. David King, the receptionist, is unusual, but by no means unique. Just as all truck drivers and construction workers are no longer necessarily men, all secretaries and receptionists are no longer automatically women. The number of men in women-dominated fields is still small and they haven't attracted the attention that has often followed women advancing into male-dominated fields, but men are moving into more and more jobs that have traditionally been held by women.BWhat kinds of men venture into these so-called women's fields? All kinds. I don't know of any define answers I'd be comfortable with, explains Joseph Pleck, Ph. D of the Wellesley College Center for Research on women. Samo Ormont, for example, a thirty-year-old nurse at Boston hospital, went into nursing because the army had trained him as a medical worker. "I found that work very interesting," he recalled, "and when I got out of the service it just seemed natural for me to go into something medical. I wasn't interested in be- coming a doctor."Thirty-five-year-old David King, an out-of-work actor, found a job as a receptionist because he was having trouble landing roles in Broadway plays and he needed to pay the rent.CIn other words, men enter "female" jobs out of the same consideration for personal interest and economic necessity that motivate anyone looking for work. But similarities often end there. Men in female-dominated jobs are conspicuous. As a group, their work histories differ in most respects from those of their female colleagues, and they are frequently treated differently by the people with whom they are in professional con- tact.DThe question naturally arises: Why are there still approximately ninety-nine female secretaries for every one male? There is also a more and more serious issue. Most men don't want to be receptionists, nurses, secretaries, or sewing workers. To put simply, these are not generally considered very masculine jobs. To choose such a line of work is to invite ridicule."There was kidding in the beginning," recalls Ormont. "Kids coming from school ask what I am, and when I say 'A nurse', they laugh at me. I just smile and say, 'You know, there are female doctors, too./
