For 5000 years, China has been using soybeans as a source of food and medicine. As one of the five sacred grains in China, soybeans were extensively cultivated and highly valued. In the eighteenth century, soybeans were introduced in Europe for the first time and were regarded merely as an object of botanical curiosity. It was only in the 1930's when the United States began exploring and developing soybean varieties through hybridization. Today, as a main source of protein, soybeans are a regular component of human diet in countries such as China, Japan and Indonesia.{{B}}B{{/B}}Many countries around the world produce as well as consume soybeans for different reasons. In Asia, the soybean is grown chiefly for the beans, which is consumed fresh, fermented, or dried. As a source of protein and oil, soybean milk is made with the whole soybeans. Bean curd is made from soymilk and tofu is seasoned or cooked together with other dishes. In the West, soybeans are produced primarily for the soybean meal used as livestock feed. As more investigative results of research have unveiled the health benefits of soybean food products, soy foods are gaining more popularity as a health product.{{B}}C{{/B}}Soy has been available for more than two decades in health food stores, specialty markets and restaurants that serve healthy, hot meals. But now it's poised to become the food of the next millennium, available soon in nearly everything, everywhere. Some people believe the soy protein business will triple over the next two years because of the FDA announcement (The FDA is now letting companies advertise a connection between soy protein and a healthy heart, and it is sure to mean healthy profits).{{B}}D{{/B}}Today the one-billion-dollar-a-year soybean business is dominated by companies that produce soy burgers, soymilk and tofu, but the future is in new products like soy pizza, soy peanut butter, even soy breakfast cereal. But experience has shown that unless healthy food tastes good, it fails in the marketplace. And many consumers consider the taste of soy, in this case tofu, bland or at best, bean-like. In Boca Burger in Chicago they won't say how they make their soy burgers taste like meat, but they're convincing enough to be featured in school cafeterias and fast food restaurants.

填空题Advice on Staff Career Development For many employees, automatic promotion up the ranks of a company is becoming increasingly rare. A new study suggests that, in response, employers need to consider how they can help staff develop their careers. Employers need to rethink their approach to career management completely, according to the latest research by the Institute of Employment Studies. The new study finds that in fact there is little opportunity for individual career development in many large organizations. The main reasons for this, it concludes, are the recent cuts in the number of middle-management posts, and the changes that have taken place in the responsibilities of personnel departments. The Institute of Employment Studies makes it clear that it is not good practice for companies to hand over career development-to individual employees and then simply leave them to get on with it. (8) So how should employers help their staff develop a career? Most employees have come to accept that career development is not always the same thing as upward promotion and a higher salary. (9) They must also ensure that these opportunities are extended to all their staff and not just to selected individuals. Nick Bridges, who is Director of Human Resources Policy at the Bank of Eastern England, believes there is more talk than action in this area. (10) One way, he believes, for companies to show how serious they are about individual learning is lo make it an official part of company practice, as the Bank of Eastern England has done. (11) This document, he points out, has made the role of managers clear, and the company has also invested huge amounts of money educating managers so that they can then train their staff. Another company, British Chemicals. has contracted an independent organization to help staff with confidential career advice. According to John rates, the head of Individual Learning and Development at British Chemicals. there is an important role for outside agencies to play in the career management process. He adds that it is company policy for managers to give all staff 'roadmaps' which show possible career routes within the company structure. (12) This has worked especially well. he says, for staff who are used to depending on their line managers for guidance. Many large organizations now recognize that career development cannot be regarded in isolation, and must be part of an overall business strategy. Human Resources has a real role to play in building a strong workforce which meets a company's long-term business needs and makes it more competitive.A. Its policy statement says that by 2006, eighty percent of its stall' will have a professional qualification.B. He argues that while Human Resources managers are saying the way forward is through self-managed learning and self-development, they are still failing to provide adequate learning resources.C. This change of attitude means employers need to place more emphasis on giving staff the chance to develop a range of skills through horizontal job moves.D. It points out that employees need to know what the overall company's vision is in order to achieve it.E. The problem that often arises is that, while they are increasingly encouraged to manage their own careers, they arc not provided with the knowledge and training to do this.F. They are able to sec that, contrary to expectations, jobs in different fields are similar, and they can also sec how it is possible to cross over to other areas.G. The main reasons for this, it concludes, are the recent cuts in the number of middle-management posts, and the changes that have taken place in the responsibilities of personnel departments.

填空题AAmerica's suburban shopping malls supply visitors with convenience and comfort—spacious walkways, piped-in music, a vast cornucopia of goods for every taste, and all under one roof.BLittle wonder that affluent shoppers come in droves. Little wonder that others come as well, mugger, car thieves, child molesters, drug peddlers, pickpockets, shoplifters. Criminals are finding a lucrative stamping ground in the sprawling emporiums that dot U.S. suburbs."Malls are like great big jars of honey," says Police Chief Joseph Delaney of Paramus. "Lots of bees come buzzing in, stingers at the ready." Paramus, a New York City suburb of 26000 whose six malls draw nearly 200000 people on a typical Saturday, reported 8.9 million dollars in shopping enter crime losses last year.CIt is crimes of violence that are causing the most alarm. Vast parking lots and mazes of stores offer good working conditions for criminals. Victims and booty are readily accessible, escape routes plentiful.DJust how many victims are claimed by shopping center crime, no one knows. But many business people are taking the threat seriously. Whether offences are big or small, it is clear that merchants have little interest in publicizing the trend. Comments Anthony Potter, a security consultant, "If shopping centres started reporting all the crimes that take place, nobody would shop there."EHamilton, Ohio, lawyer David Green, who won 2 million dollars on behalf of a woman abducted from a mall parking lot and shot in the head, found that 43 serious crimes had occurred at the same site.

填空题 ADVERTISING Advertising is part of our daily lives. To find proof, you have only to leaf through a magazine or newspaper or count the radio or television commercials that you hear in one evening. Most people see and hear a mass of advertising messages every day. And people respond to the many devices that advertisers use to gain their attention. Advertising is a big business, and, to many people, a fascinating one, filled with attraction and excitement. It is part literature, part art, and part show business. Advertising is the difficult business of bringing information to great numbers of people. The purpose of an advertisement is to make people respond into make them react to an idea, (8) . At the beginning of the 20th century, advertising was described as "salesmanship in print". If this definition were expanded to include radio and television, it would still stand today. (9) It can be found as far back as the public criers of ancient Greece-- who, for a fee, shouted out messages about a company's products to one and all. (10) This early ad was the work of William Caxton, England's first printer, who used it to advertise religious books from his own studio. Caxton posted small printed notices along London's main streets. This same sort of simple, informational advertising is still used. (11) . The Industrial Revolution, in the 18th and 19th centuries, brought a new kind of advertising. Large factories took the place of small workshops, and goods were produced in large quantities. Manufacturers used the newly built railroads to distribute their products over wide areas. They had to find many thousands of customers in order to stay in business. They could not simply tell people where shoes or cloth or tea could be bought--they had to learn how to make people want to buy a specific product. Advertising agencies began to develop in the United States just after the Civil War. (12) But they soon added the service of writing and producing advertisements.From these modest beginnings, advertising has developed into a highly specialized and profitable business.A Advertising is very old.B Examples include the roadside signs that tell travelers that they can buy fresh corn just down the road or that there is a restaurant in the next town.C Thus modern advertising was born.D Advertising is part of our daily lives.E such as helping to prevent forest fires, or to make them want to buy a certain product or service.F At first, the chief objective of these agencies was to sell space in the various media, mainly newspapers and magazines.G The first printed advertisement in the English language appeared in 1478, more than a century before Shakespeare's first play was produced.

填空题A CONDENSED EMPLOYEE LIFE CYCLEAn employee life cycle is the steps the employees go through from the time they enter a company until they leave. Often Human Resources professionals focus their attention on the steps in this process in hopes of making an impact on the company's bottom line. That is a good thing for them to do. Their goal is to reduce the company's cost per employee hired. Employees are one of a company's largest expenses these days. Unlike other major capital costs (buildings, machinery, technology, etc.) human capital is highly volatile. You, as a manager, are in a key position to reduce that volatility using the condensed employee life cycle of HIAR ( pronounced hire)--Hire, Inspire, Admire, Retire.Hire: This first step is probably the most important. It is important to hire the best people you can find. (8) The cost of replacing a bad hire far exceeds the marginal additional cost of hiring the best person in the first place.Inspire: Once you have recruited the best employees to come to work on your team, the hard part begins. You have to inspire them to perform to their capabilities. (9) That is where you will get their best effort and their creativity that will help your organization excel.Admire: Once you have hired the best employees and have challenged and motivated them, you can not relax. (10) The same attention you paid to their work assignments, to their satisfaction levels, to their sense of being part of a great team, needs to continue for as long as they are in your group. As soon as you start to slack off, their satisfaction and motivation decrease. If you don't do something, they will become disenchanted and will leave. They will become part of the "employee turnover" statistic you were trying to avoid.Retire: This is when you know you have been successful. When employees see your company as the employer of choice, they will join you. (11) As long as you continue to inspire, motivate, and challenge them, they will continue to contribute at the high levels you need in order to beat your competition. They Will be long-term employees; even staying with you and your company until they retire. (12) You will attract and retain the second and even third generation employees.A This is not a time to be cheap.B When they recognize you as a good boss and a real leader, they will stay around.C To the extent that you can be a good boss, you can keep employees, keep them happy, and reduce the costs associated with employee turnover.D Their goal is to reduce the company's cost per employee hired.E The biggest mistake a manager can make is to ignore employees.F You have to challenge and motivate them.G They will refer other quality employees to your company, including their relatives.

填空题How to Become an Effective Team Leader Coach but not demonstrate: When you're under a time crunch, it's tempting to demonstrate a task rather than to provide supportive directions: When you say "Let me show you how," your motivation is probably just to get the work done rather than help the team member learn. This can be devastating to that team member's skill development and makes him dependent on you. In the long run. the individual to whom you've demonstrated skills will require guidance for just about everything. Provide constructive criticism. If you're providing feedback, be sure to communicate the bad and the good. It's always hard to hear criticism, but if you highlight the good things too. it makes taking the bad a little easier. Also, provide clear Suggestions on how your team members can improve. (8) Perhaps you've assigned a project to a team member that's of particular interest to you. Initially, you should provide some guidance and communicate that it's an open door policy for additional questions that may come up along the way. (9) As a team leader, you must prove to your group members that you believe in their abilities and talents. By staying out of the picture, this shows team members they'll get a fair chance to demonstrate what they can do without interference. Try to be positive. Enthusiasm is contagious. (10) As a leader, your team members look to you for direction. If you notice that the group's motivation and output levels are in a slump, this is your wake up call. Have a meeting to discuss what needs to be changed, and really listen to what your team has to say. (11) It's important to stay in tune with your group. You may be surprised by what they have to say -- it could be a dramatically different perspective from your own. Value your group's ideas. Don't discount your group's ideas. (12) If a suggested idea was attempted in the past but failed, consider that it may not have been executed properly or that it simply wasn't the best time. Consider each and every idea that your group members generate and encourage them to communicate their insights on a regular basis. If you're overly critical of ideas or immediately discount the ideas of others, your group will hesitate to share anything. Alter all. for every twenty mediocre suggestions, there's bound to be at least one stellar idea.A. Avoid phrases like "Yeah, but ..." or "We've already tried that."B. Now, it's important to back off.C. If you think they may have a difficult time admitting this, get them to write their comments on paper instead.D. If you're excited about your group's project, it's likely they'll feel a reason to be excited as well.E. You don't have to give them all of the solutions, instead guide the group by sharing your knowledge and experience.F. You need to guide them and then give them needed solutions to their problems.G. When you say "Let me show you how," your motivation is probably just to get the work done rather than help the team member learn?
