填空题A Jharkhand, a state that traditionally has focused on agriculture, is attracting big international investors as the costs of land and labour rise in coastal regions. In 2007 alone, 187 new foreign enterprises had established presences in the state. Jharkhand's main draw—low wages and cheap land—will continue to provide incentives for Foreign Direct Investment in the years to come. The state capital Ranchi, a six-hour bus ride from Kolkata, accounts for about 30 percent of the total investment in the state. B Vietnam will continue to invest heavily in its agricultural future. Rice is the major product of the country, and Vietnam's ever-growing food demands will see that crop yields will need to be consistently high. Hi-tech research is required, and government policies will ensure that more R&D investment is put in the country. Hi-tech industries also are setting up in a number of development zones, many of which were opened around 2003 and are growing rapidly thanks to favourable incentives. C The future of Hubei is largely dependant on the success of the Three Gorges Dam project. As a result, there have been many upgrades of Hubei's river ports, and there is likely to be many more as larger volumes of cargo are transported up and down the river. Wuhan intends to turn itself into the major manufacturing hub of central China. With the flow of river traffic from the Three Gorges and government incentives to move manufacturing inland. Wuhan is more likely to succeed in this aim, with further enterprises linked to exports and distributors likely to find a base in the city. D Philippines plans to invest more than $200 billion in infrastructure development in 2007. A large portion of Philippines' industrial output is related to its rich mineral deposits, with the smelting and pressing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals accounting for 19.6 percent of the total industrial output. Related manufacturing industries have been relocating to Philippines in recent years from Singapore and Malaysia. In the future, manufacture will continue to be a major industry in Philippines. E Manitoba is rich in natural resources and is a major source of timber products in Canada. It boasts rich deposits of copper, silver and uranium. There is a great need to further increase infrastructure, especially roads and rails. The province's located at the crossroads of the nation's two largest economic engines. Tourism is one of the major hopes here as the far west of the province is becoming more popular and accessible for those traveling to the lake routes.

填空题Let Workers Work In these difficult economic times, lots of companies are cutting benefits to maintain profits. So when Fortune magazine recently published its list of the "100 best companies to work for," I couldn't help but notice that lots of these companies are maintaining or even improving benefits such as medical care, onsite child care, fitness facilities, and so forth. Moreover, it turns out that firms that have made the list in the past have on average also done well in the stock market. So they must be doing something right. Are those on the list compiled by Fortune simply examples of successful companies that can afford to be nice? Or is there some link between generous benefits and an organization's performance? Obviously, there is a link. (9) For starters, it seems perfectly sensible that companies with generous benefits and employee-friendly policies attract a more motivated, higher-quality workforce. (10) . Consider health care and health insurance. (11) For example, Definity Health, a recent entrant in the health-care-plan in business, supplies consumers with loads of information that it claims "empowers employees with greater control over health and wellness decisions," thus limiting costs to employers. The typical Definity Health plan, in fact, carries a high deductible to encourage patients to become cost-conscious health-care shoppers. What's wrong with greater employee involvement and cost-consciousness? (12) Having individual employees more actively manage their medical benefits — and, for that matter, 401 (k) and even flexible spending accounts — overlooks the advantages of specialization and the division of labor. Do you really want your people to spend their time becoming medical or financial experts, all while they're also engaged in a constant hunt to find quality child care? Wouldn't it be nice — and maybe even efficient — if someone with both knowledge and your employees' best interests in mind relieved them of those burdens? (13) Health Advocate, a firm that hunched in January 2002, charges companies about $2 a month per employee to help their people deal with their health insurers. It has already signed up 122 firms. Companies that successfully capture the motivation and energy of their workers operate under a simple premise: (14) When their folks are at work, they want them to focus their energy on being productive.A In an effort to control rising medical costs, many companies are experimenting with insurance plans that make employees more "cost-conscious" by having them take an active role in their health care.B Clearly, some companies are beginning to realize that this is a problem. However, most CEOs and top executives don't have a clue how important that connection is.D Here's a novel thought: Most employees want the same thing.E Remove from employees as many extraneous burdens and worries as possible.F But there is another, more important issue here: We're working our employees to the bone with all sorts of tasks unrelated to their jobs.G Nothing, unless you think about the inevitable trade-offs in a worker's time and attention.H Moreover, it turns out that firms that have made the list in the past have on average also done well in the stock market.
