The second was held in 1994 at Bogor in lndonesia. It adopted a declaration to abolish tariffs between all its members by the year 2020. APEC' s developed economies would, however, follow an earlier schedule of freeing trade by 2010. The third summit at Osake (Japan) in November was to stock of the progress towards the free trade goal.APEC' s progress is even greater considering that until the first Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting of 12 regional foreign and economic ministers in Australia, it was simply a laudable idea.{{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}Ever since that fateful Canberra conference in November 1989, APEC has never looked back. The original 12-member forum has 18 members: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Guinea, the Philip-pines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and the United States. The rush to join the APEC club is so great that it had to impose a three-year moratorium on new membership till 1996.{{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}When Australia first mooted the proposal to convene a conference for regional cooperation, there was considerable misgiving and scepticism about it. Most ASEAN countries (Association of South East Asian Nations)--Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysin, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand (Vietnam was not a member of them)--were not particularly enthusiastic.{{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}Indonesia's Foreign Minister, Ah Alatas, simply wanted any Pacific organization to be an extension of ASEAN. Indonesia's hosting of the APEC surnmit last year, where President Soeharto played a leading role in putting together the free trade declaration, would suggest that Jakarta's earlier misgivings have disappeared.{{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}In the lead-up to the Osaka summit, the report card on the free trade agenda (gleaned from the meetings of officials from member countries) did not seem terribly good. The United States, which seeks expanded access (and at a quicker pace) to regional markets, was unhappy with the slowness of Japan to advance the free trade agenda. Japan was the country chairing APEC for 1995. According to MS Sandra Kristoff, the US State Department's Coordinator for APEC, Japan had "to go out there and create a consensus [on free trade], lead a consensus, make this happen ... The United States doubted Japan's free trade credentials and felt that its heart was not in the APEC pledge. Tokyo has wanted a free trade agenda to develop on a voluntary basis.{{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}…………However, because of America's growing preoccupation in the months ahead with presidential elections, the Clinton administration's impatience and consequent negative rhetoric need not be taken at its face value. Washington cannot afford to ignore or opt out of APEC, with the USA having about ＄400 billion annual trade with the region.A The second summit was held in 1994 at Bogor in Indonesia.B It was felt that a pan-Pacific organization would dwarf 12 ASEAN, which might then lose its reason for being discussed and even its existence.C But, it was an idea whose time had come.D It would, however, be naive to suggest that APEC will be all smooth sailing.E This in itself is a proof of the considerable headway APEC has made in a short period of about six years.F It needs emphasizing that all APEC members are in favour of regional free trade but all de not favour set time-schedules and their enforcement.G Washington has not been happy with this approach.

填空题·Read the article below about changes in working hours.·Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill in each of the gaps.·For each gap 8-12, mark one letter (A-G) on your Answer Sheet.·Do not use any letter more than once.·There is an example at the beginning (0). {{B}}GETTING THE BEST FROM YOUR STAFF{{/B}} Ed Smith, a senior manager for Trustco Ltd in Worcester, used to work a minimum of 70 hours a week. He travelled regularly between the UK and USA and began to feel he had become almost a stranger to his wife and his two young sons. Realising that he was putting himself under too much stress, he decided to try to change his working hours. This idea worked. These days, he still goes to work very early but he also leaves early. He now sees his children before they go to bed and then does about an hour's work by computer from home in the evening, keeping in touch with American colleagues. {{U}}(8) {{/U}}The key to Ed Smith's changing his hours was persuading his employer that he and other staff were more productive when they worked the hours that suited them. This is easier said than done, of course.{{U}} (9) {{/U}} Many of them are slow to realise the benefits of letting employees work fewer or more flexible hours. A recent survey of five thousand senior managers found that nearly half of them always worked more than their contract hours, while many worked evenings and weekends. A majority thought that this not only had a negative effect on their family relationships and their health, but also reduced their productivity. {{U}}(10) {{/U}}It seems that it is job satisfaction that is the deciding factor when it comes to employee productivity. However, the good news is that more employers are now starting to realise that they are only going to get higher output from their staff if those staff are happy and want to be at work. {{U}}(11) {{/U}}His company have brought in changes partly for competitive reasons. The research and development part of the business employs highly trained scientists, who are expensive to replace. {{U}}(12) {{/U}}The employees seem to be very happy with the new arrangements and, as a result, productivity rates have gradually but consistently increased and staff turnover rates have fallen dramatically. According to Ed Smith, many companies would benefit from a similar scheme, and everyone, from directors to employees' families, would have something to gain.A. Ed Smith's new working hours are just one example of the attempt to alter corporate culture.B. This adds to the increasing evidence that long hours are not necessarily useful hours.C. They are often willing to accept that happy employees produce more.D. He admits to feeling much happier, and believes he has established a balance between work and home life.E. It can be difficult to persuade organisations that a change of this type is in their interest, too.F. To keep them happy, 'trust time' has been introduced, where the company trusts employees to do what is required, in whatever time it takes.G. Realising that he was putting himself under too much stress, he decided to try to change his working hours.
