填空题· Read this text taken from an article about the importance to companies of not losing their employees' knowledge.· Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.· For each gap (9-14), mark one letter (A-H) on your Answer Sheet.· Do not use any letter more than once. {{B}} Protecting the corporate memory{{/B}}{{I}} Many companies risk losing expertise through job cuts. But by analysing how staff interact, they may be able to minimise the damage. {{/I}} Many staff have knowledge which is essential to their company. So what can businesses do to avoid losing that expertise when staff leave, and to dissuade employees from keeping their knowledge to themselves in the face of possible job cuts? First, they need to recognise the problem. A downturn in the economy exposes many companies' lack of commitment to understanding and using their people's knowledge. When companies feel they're in a crisis, it is one of the things that goes by the board. Unless, that is, they've made it a routine or suffered because of losing knowledge in the past. Next, any attempt to stop knowledge walking out of the door must be handled sensitively. {{U}}(9) {{/U}} Employees would be extremely cynical and see it as an attempt to extract their unique knowledge, which they believe gives them job security. Strong incentives are needed to coax people into divulging their expertise when being dismissed. {{U}}(10) {{/U}} At first sight, this might seem excessive, but the disadvantages should be weighed against the benefits. Of course, not all knowledge can be captured by the organisation and turned into a process. {{U}}(11) {{/U}} To find out who these 'knowledge hotspots' are, companies need to question their staff and analyse their social networks. Companies shouldn't ask employees what they know, but who they would ask if they wanted to know about different subjects. {{U}}(12) {{/U}} And, more importantly, the process reveals the others who always know somebody who knows. The latter can be high on the list for redundancy because managers are unsure what they do, or because they appear to be weak performers. {{U}}(13) {{/U}} People like this are often not ambitious but they can hold a company together. The most valuable knowledge is often not possessed by the people who seem to be star performers. If those at the centre of knowledge networks come to be seen as the most valuable people, those who keep their knowledge to themselves will look vulnerable when downsizing is deemed necessary. {{U}}(14) {{/U}} In such companies, the incentive to share knowledge should be even greater when jobs are under threat. For some companies, it may be too late to salvage important knowledge. Building a culture where knowledge is understood, valued and shared can take a long time. Now may be the time to prepare for the next downturn. A. Organisations that reward people for sharing knowledge will know who falls into each of these two opposing categories.B. This approach enables them to identify those with a limited number of network relationships.C. Launching a knowledge-sharing initiative at a time when people are expecting redundancies would not be a good idea.D. This provides evidence of the risk that such a policy will meet resistance. Because of the difficulty of achieving this, it is far better not to lose the valuable sources of knowledge at all. But a 'knowledge mapping' exercise might reveal that they play a critical role as mentors to the rest of the team.G. The price may be an increase in their redundancy package, provision of career counselling, or an agreement to hire them back as consultants.H. When companies feel they're in a crisis, it is one of the things that goes by the board.

填空题·Read the article below about Newtown.·For each question 31-40,write one word on your Answer Sheet. {{B}}"Slugging It Out In Japan" by Warren Cromartie with Robert Whiting{{/B}}Rodansha International Press, Tokyo and New York, Y 3,000 (US $ 22,50) This book is the story of how Warren Cromartie, a 29-year-old African-American major league baseball-player from Mia- mi, made good in Japan. It is also a tale of how this good-natured, plain-spoken player came to eventually understand and like the Japanese and their way of life, of which "Cro" learned the meaning of being a team player in Japan, "a group person."Someone once wrote that if white Americans wanted to understand the black experience in the US, they should try living in Japan," writes Cro, summing up the problem he faced, being non-Japanese first and foremost, and black second. He knew what he was writing{{U}} (31) {{/U}}Cro is a child of Liberty City, the tough ghetto of Miami, He{{U}} (32) {{/U}}up in a broken home, with a stepbrother who{{U}} (33) {{/U}}time in jail for armed robbery. Following in the footsteps of his neighbour Cassius Clay, Cro used his athletic skill as a ticket to a better world.

Young pitchers would be forced to throw fast- bells for hours before a big game. The same training films would be shown day-in, day-out. Coaches would repeat identical speeches before every game.{{U}} (38) {{/U}}Cro and other foreigners were allowed some leniencey, their tolerance for that kind of treatment was much lower, and their attitudes were quite different. "If you smiled, someone would criticize you for not being serious enough," Cro says of Japan's sports press. "If you scowled, some writer would attack you for disrupting team harmony. God forbid fooling around."Cro's six-season stint gradually taught him in the end to become a team player, winning praise not only for helping to boost the Giants standing in the league, but for becoming well attuned to Japanese mores and attitudes. Much to his own surprise, he felt the he had learned to .fit in , and the Japanese had learned to respect him. "I got the impression{{U}} (39) {{/U}}now I has endured six years in Japan, taking everything that had been thrown my way, the Japanese has finally decided to adopt me." he writes."People back home have told me that I have a different attitude than I used to. Mind you, I'm still not the type of person to hold everything in. I express emotions. I moan, I'll still curse, which is something the Japanese never do but , living in Japan, I've tried to tone it down," say Cro.

填空题How to Handle Customers' Complaints... Complainers can damage a company faster than you can say "I'm sorry." But the companies with savvy are turning them into loyal buyers. Fred Jerome survived a frequent flyer's nightmare. Boarding at 9:30 Pan Am shuttle in New York one morning, he expected to arrive in Boston in plenty of time for an afternoon of business meetings. However Logan Airport was blanketed in fog and the pi- lot circled for two hours before landing in Hartford Connecticut, to refuel. "No one may leave the plane" the pilot announced, frustrating passengers who wished to switch to a rental car or use a telephone. When he then said he was returning to La Guardia Airport some passengers protested in fury. He relented and finally landed in Boston about 4pm. Jerome caught a flight home and arrived in New York at 6.30. His day was ruined and he was exhausted and angry. What should the company do for angry customers? to those who have tackled the issue almost anything it can. (9) Simply listening to complaints boosts brand loyalty that is, a customer's tendency to buy again. "The key is getting customers to complain to the company rather than just to their friends", says John Goodman president of a consulting firm that has been studying corporate complainers for over a decade. (10) The average return for makers of consumer durables like washing machines and refrigerators is 100%. In other words, if manufacturers spend $1 million on handling complaints, they get $2 million in benefits. For banks it is as much as 170%. The payoff can be even higher in retailing where top quality service is essential for keeping customers. Maryanne Rasmussen, vice president in charge of world-wide quality at American Express says, "The formula I use is' Better com- plaint handling equals higher customer satisfaction equals higher brand loyalty equals higher profitability."The growing evidence that customer happiness affects the Profits and Loss report is one reason that firms like Coca-Cola and British Airways have invested billions of dollars to improve complaint handling. (11) Pan Am's response to Fred Jerome was a case study of how not to handle complaints, At the end of Jerome's 9 hour ordeal, a Pan Am steward advised him to complain to the customer service unit at the airline's New York Headquarters. Jerome went to the headquarters only to be told that Pan Am's LaGuardia Airport office handles complaints about the shuttle service. (12) He finally reached a representative who told him coldly, We are not responsible for delays caused by the weather.Jerome expressed his frustration by writing a column for the New York Times. (13) John Siefert, a vice. president of the Eastern Air Lines shuttle, sent Jerome a sympathetic letter of. fering him a free flight. Jerome declined. I would have been happy with an apology from Pan Am he says. Pan Am Says it wrote to Jerome. He says he still has not heard from the airline and now will fly the Pan Am shuttle only as a last resort. (14) 80% of complaints are from travelers who are dissatisfied with the airlines' responses to problems. Interestingly the three airlines including Pan Am, and Eastern which lest the most money last year also attract the most consumer complaints. Far fewer complaints come from fliers on the healthiest US airlines. Dan Smith director of consumer affairs at the International Airline Passengers Association in Dallas, says these carriers satisfy unhappy clients by always giving a full explanation if they can' t comply with a request for action.A What should the company do for angry customers?B Studies show customers tell twice as many people about bad experience as good ones, so complainers who are left unhappy can ruin a company's image.C Customers seem to appreciate companies more if top managers hear their complaints.D some 20 letters and calls from other annoyed air travelers.E The person he tried to contact at the airport was not there, and omitted to reply to a message Jerome left.F The firm used dozens of business factors to calculate the return on investment involved in a company establishing service units that handle complaints and inquiries.G In the airline industry, the correlation between customer contentment and profitability is strong.H Programs include intensive staff training, liberal refund policies and ways of helping customers make complaints to the company like free phone calls.

填空题The Power PrincipleReal power in a company amounts to having the ability to get the objectives you want, through direct action or persuasion. And the truth is that anybody can wield enormous power if they know how. Power comes from understanding all the key players and what objections they might put (31) your way. Treat it like a game of chess: you need to be thinking many moves (32) of your rivals and opponents. People need to feel they have choices, and it is very (33) better that you present your plan with several options (34) than just one. However, only one should be credible, or the others should lead to the same objectives, (35) as to be sure of achieving the result you want. Identify the ultimate decision-maker and anticipate their likely reaction to your proposal, If you feel it won't be favourable you need to work out a strategy to convince them otherwise, either by soliciting influencers - people who can persuade tile key ,decision-maker - (36) by changing their minds directly.But do not ask them directly. You will find (37) very difficult to turn your proposal into reality if they say no. Even the (38) enlightened of people do not like (39) seen to change their minds or to have made a wrong judgement. And this means that (40) was a relatively simple job of convincing them of the merits of your plan becomes an uphill struggle of getting them to admit they were wrong.

填空题Accounting Accounting is the process of systematically collecting, analyzing, and reporting financial information. Bookkeeping is essentially record-keeping which is part of the overall accounting process. A private accountant is hired by a specific organization to operate its accounting system and to interpret accounting information. A public accountant performs these functions for various individuals, or firms, on a professional-fee basis. (9) . The accounting process is based on the accounting equation, assets = liabilities+ owners' equity. (10) .There are five steps in the accounting process: 1) Source documents are analyzed to determine which accounts they affect. 2) Each transaction is recorded in a journal. 3) Each journal entry is posted in the appropriate general ledger accounts. 4) At the end of each accounting period, a trial balance is prepared to make sure that the accounting equation is in balance at the end of the period. 5) Financial Statements are prepared from the trial balance. (11) . A new accounting cycle is then begun for the next accounting period. The balance sheet, or statement of financial position, is a summary of a firm's assets, liabilities, and owners' equity accounts at a particular time. (12) . On the balance sheet, assets are categorized as current (convertible to cash in a year or less), fixed (to be used or held for more than one year), or intangible (valuable solely because of the rights or advantages they confer). (13) . For a sole proprietorship or partnership, owner's equity is reported by the owner's name in the last section of the balance sheet. For a corporation, the value of common stock, preferred stock, and retained earnings is reported in the owners' equity section. An income statement is a summary of a firm's financial operations during a specified accounting period. (14) . Operating expenses are then deducted to compute net income from operations. Finally, non-operating expenses and income taxes are deducted to obtain the firm's net income after taxes. The information contained in these two financial statements becomes more meaningful when it is compared with corresponding information for previous years, for competitors, and for the industry in which the firm operates. A On the income statement, the company's gloss profit on sales is computed by subtracting the cost of goods sold from net sales. B These ratios provide a picture of the firm's profitability, its short-term financial position, its activity in the area of accounts receivable and inventory, and its long-term debt financing. C Similarly, current liabilities are those that are to be repaid in one year or less, and long-term liabilities are debts that will not be repaid for at least one year. D Double-entry bookkeeping ensures that the balance shown by the equation is maintained. E This statement must demonstrate that the equation is in balance. F Accounting information is used primarily by management, but it is also demanded by creditors, suppliers, stockholders, and government agencies. G Once statements are prepared, the books are closed. H Bookkeeping is essentially record-keeping which is part of the overall accounting process.

填空题Transacting Business via Electronic Data The term e-commerce embraces all the ways of transacting business via electronic data. (9) and it is the internet that has put e-commerce near the top of the corporate agenda in the first years of the 21st century. (10) but it embodies a revolutionary idea: that electronic commerce is qualitatively different from ordinary time-worn commerce, that ( in the jargon) there is a paradigm shift in the way that business is conducted in the world of e-commerce. Doing business via the internet is not only much quicker and much cheaper than other methods, (11) There is the much-vaunted death of distance: a customer 10,000 miles away becomes as accessible as one around the corner. And e-commerce has created the phenomenon of the long tail. (12) In its April 1999 report "Making Open Finance Pay", Forrester Research, an American research company, gave examples of the way in which the internet had altered the pricing structure of a number of industries, particularly those with high information content. Before the advent of the internet it cost $100 to make an equity market order. Afterwards it cost just $15, an 85 % fall in price, far more than could ever have been gleaned from traditional economies of scale. This is a revolution for organizations whose structures and strategies have built-in assumptions about relationships between price and volume. (13) Online sales in the United States are reckoned to have grown by some 18% in 2007. The country's five largest online retailers (often called e-tailers) were Amazon, Staples, Office Depot, Dell and Hewlett-Packard. Dell became a market leader in computers through early use of the internet to sell goods and services direct to consumers, and to buy components from suppliers. Financial service offerings over the internet have also sprouted like mushrooms, (14) At Charles Schwab, an American retail brokerage firm, it took just three years for online dealing to account for more than half of all its securities trading. A. Furthermore, economies of scale are undermined B. although security issues have imposed some restraint on the industry C. E-commerce is merely an elision of electronic commerce D. E-commerce also allows unknown firms to establish new businesses cheaply and rapidly E. Electronic commerce has grown rapidly F. But it is most closely identified with commerce transacted over the internet G. though the security challenges is being faced as a result of engaging in electronic commerce H. it is also thought to overturn old rules about time, space and price
