填空题Do Part Two of the Reading Test. Give yourself 10-12 minutes to complete the task. PART TWO ·Read this text about work-life balance. ·Choose the best sentence A-H to fill each of the gaps 1-6. ·Do not use any letter more than once. Business life: Uncomfortable truths about the work-life balance Balancing work and life is an unattainable goal. At least, it is for anyone who wants to get ahead. 'Simply cutting back on work inevitably fails, because in real life, success in work is predicated on achievement,' Mr Hammonds writes. 'In a competitive business environment leadership requires commitment, passion and a lot of time.' It is not just that people who want to leave the office at a reasonable time are competing against those who work until the early hours. They are also, increasingly, competing against people on the other side of the world who are ready to work any hours. Pavan Vishwakarma is a freelance software developer who lives in Bhopal and who advertises himself as being available at any time. Do you want balance? Vishwakarma doesn't. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}If you're competing against Pavan Vishwakarma—and ultimately, we all are—you can't have both a big paycheck and reasonable hours. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}} It is not that work-life balance is not worth having. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}It is just that it has its price, which is that you are not going to rise as high in the organisation or be as rich as those who have no interest in work-life balance. You can work more intelligently, and delegate as much as you like, but if you are the sort of person who, faced with a choice between a school play and a crucial meeting, opts for the play, you will fall behind those who would not dream of missing the meeting. Show me a high-riding chief executive, or a successful politician. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}} There is no point, as Mr Hammonds rightly argues, in pretending we can have it all. We can't. The usually unspoken truth about work-life balance is that if you want a life, you have to surrender some of the rewards of work. Those who opt for children, spouse and friends will be richer in all the ways that really count. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}} Of course, for most people, all this is academic. They cannot afford to earn less. {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}For them, life is an endless struggle to find jobs, put food on the table, arrange childcare—and hope that grandparents can step in when children wake up covered in chicken pox. Those who can afford to trade promotion and salary for family time are a lucky minority. A. They can barely get by as it is. B. I will show you someone who barely sees his or her children. C. A few superhuman people may be able to achieve this. D. He wants to work, and he'll work cheap—a lot cheaper than you will. E. However, unless they win the lottery, they will have less money in the bank. F. The laws of economics won't allow it. G. They are also, increasingly, competing against people on the other side of the world who are ready to work any hours. H. It certainly is.

A To maintain a statistical measure of the quantity of goods shipped abroad and to provide a means of determining whether regulations are being met, most countries require ship ments abroad to be accompanied by an export declaration. Usually such a declaration, presented at the port of exit, includes the names and addresses of the principals involved, the destination of the goods, a full description of the goods, and their declared value. When manufacturers are exporting from the United States, Customs and the Department of Cormmerce require an export declaration for all shipments. If specific licenses are required to ship a particular commodity, the export license must be presented with the export declaration for proper certification. It thus serves as the principal means of control for regulatory agencies of the U.S. government. B In exporting, the bill that the exporter or consignor sends to the importer or consignee is called a commercial invoice. This invoice lists full particulars of the shipment. The marks, the number of packages, an accurate packing list, and a full description of the merchandise should appear on the commercial invoice. It should state the name of the ship (if ocean transportation is used), the name and address of the consignee, the contract number, the code word for the contract if one is used, the price per unit of the merchandise, and the total price of the shipment. The commercial invoice should also show the nature of the price quotation, whether the merchandise is sold FOB factory, FAS vessel, or ClF port of destination. C Another essential shipping document for shipments to some countries is the consular invoice. This is a document obtained by the exporter in his or her country from the governmental representative of the importer's country. It was originally designed to help ensure that fair market values would be listed on the invoices prepared by the exporter. Thus the exporter must prepare and haw certified before the foreign consul or representative a document containing all essential details of the sale. After certification the document is forwarded to the buyer for presentation to customs with the customs declaration, ostensibly for use in determining the amount of tariff to be levied. In recent years, a number of countries including the United States and the Philippines, have eliminated the requirement for the consular invoice. But where they are still required, they must be provided. D The packing list is sometimes displayed on the commercial invoice, or it may be a separate document, depending on the number of packages and the complexity of the list. It should contain, item by item, the contents of cases or containers in a shipment. The items shouldbe listed separately with their weight and description set forth so as to make a complete check of the contents of each package possible upon arrival at the port of destination or the customs office. This information is also useful for the consignee. Any variation in description from the commercial invoice or consular invoice usually subjects the consignee to large fines, which are then passed on to the exporter. E These contain a wide variety of special inspection certificates issued by various authorities and may be required by the importer to meet his or her own or government requirements. These documents certify as to purity and absence of disease, and are issued to cover food products, plants, seeds, and live animals. Frequently, they must be legalized by the consular representative of the importing country. Food products are those for which sanitary certificates are most often required. Special certificates are also issued for certain types of merchandise, to certify a required composition or the existence of specific ingredients. Some types of steel, for example, are sold on analysis. Certain chemical mixtures must be analyzed and certified with respect to the presence of desired constituents.

填空题Can anyone be an entrepreneur? Who wants to be an entrepreneur? Just about everybody -- or (31) it seems these days. The values of entrepreneurship are hailed everywhere, (32) the more enterprising small shop owner to the boardrooms of multinationals. Entrepreneurs are seen as the true 'wealth creators' and as the initiators of change. They are often creative and always self-driven, and (33) a result, they and the companies they head possess a sense of vision which larger, more amorphous organizations often aim for but hardly ever achieve. So how do you become one? The received wisdom is that entrepreneurs with talents (34) As these are a breed apart. They are born, not formed through education. If that's (35) case, then is there any point in going to business school to learn how to become an entrepreneur, as many do? There are trainers who think it's perfectly feasible. They compare it to training an opera singer (36) the sense that for singers, natural talent is essential, but then trainers instruct and develop it. The (37) goes for would-be entrepreneurs. Trainers develop their skills and impart knowledge. In (38) words, so the argument goes, to be trained, you must be the right kind of person to start with. What is such a person's essential characteristic: It is the ability to distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable levels of risk and act accordingly. That more than (39) else marks entrepreneurs out from others (40) preference is for the safer option of a salaried and structured career.

填空题Job Outlook of Financial Managers Employment of financial managers is expected to grow about as fast as the average for all occupations through 2012. Growth is expected to be steady and will increase in line with the growth of the economy as a whole. However, jobseekers are likely to face keen competition for jobs, as the number of job openings is expected to be less than the number of applicants Candidates with expertise in accounting and finance, particularly those with a master's degree, should enjoy the best job prospects. Strong computer skills and knowledge of international finance are important; so are excellent communication skills, because financial management jobs involve working on strategic planning teams. (9) Over the short term, employment in this occupation is negatively impacted by economic downturns, during which companies are more likely to close departments, or even go out of business- decreasing the need for financial managers. Mergers, acquisitions, and corporate downsizing also are likely to adversely affect employment of financial managers. (10) The banking industry, which employs more than I out of 10 financial managers, will continue to consolidate, although at a slower rate than in previous years. In spite of this trend, employment of bank branch managers is expected to increase as banks begin to refocus on the importance of their existing branches and as new branches are created to service a growing population. As banks expand the range of products and services they offer to include insurance and investment products, branch managers with knowledge in these areas will be needed. (11) Despite the current downturn in the securities and commodities industry, the long-run prospects for financial managers in that industry should be favorable, as more will be needed to handle increasingly complex financial transactions and manage a growing amount of investments. (12) Risk managers, who assess risks for insurance and investment purposes, also will be in demand. Some companies may hire financial managers on a temporary basis, to see the organization through a short-term crisis or to offer suggestions for boosting profits. Other companies may contract out all accounting and financial operations. (13) Computer technology has reduced the time and staff required to produce financial reports. (14) Financial managers who are familiar with computer software that can assist them in this role will be needed.A Financial managers also will be needed to handle mergers and acquisitions, raise capital, and assess global financial transactions.B In fact, jobseekers who are experienced in this field will have a good prospect.C However, jobseekers are likely to face keen competition for jobs, as the number of job openings is expected to be less than the number of applicants.D As the economy expands, job growth for financial managers will stem from both the expansion of established companies and from the creation of new businesses.E However, the growing need for financial expertise as the economy expands will ensure job growth over the next decade.F As a result, forecasting earnings, profits, and costs, and generating ideas and creative ways to increase profitability will become a major role of corporate financial managers over the next decade.G As a result, candidates who are licensed to sell insurance or securities will have the most favorable prospects.H Even in these cases, however, financial managers may be needed to oversee the contracts.
