填空题{{B}}Section D{{/B}} In this section, there is one passage
followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below
by choosing no more than four words from the passage. Remember to write the
answers on the Answer Sheet.
As a result of all these factors, when the recession eases and
people find more confidence, there will be an explosion of employees seeking new
opportunities to escape their current jobs. This will be led by younger,
less-experienced employees and the hard-headed young graduates. 'Headhunters'
confirm that older staff are still cautious, having seen so many good companies
'go to the wall' , and are reluctant to jeopardize their redundancy
entitlements. Past experience, however, suggests that, once triggered, the
expansion in recruitment will be very rapid. The problem which
faces many organizations is one of strategic planning; of not knowing who will
leave and who will stay. Often it is the best personnel who move on whilst the
worst cling to the little security they have. This is clearly a problem for
companies, who need a stable core on which to build strategies for future
growth. Whilst this expansion in the recruitment market is
likely to happen soon in Britain, most employers are simply not prepared. With
the loss of middle management, in a static marketplace, personnel management and
recruitment are often conducted by junior personnel. They have only known
recession and lack the experience to plan ahead and to implement strategies for
growth. This is true of many other functions, leaving companies without the
skills, ability or vision to structure themselves for long-term growth. Without
this ability to recruit competitively for strategic planning, and given the
speed at which these changes are likely to occur, a real crisis seems imminent.
SUMMARY: Taking all of these
various factors into consideration, when the economy picks up and people
{{U}}(66) {{/U}}, there will be a very rapid expansion in recruitment.
Younger employees and graduates will lead the search for new jobs, older staff
being more {{U}}(67) {{/U}} Not knowing who will leave creates a problem
for companies ; they need a {{U}}(68) {{/U}} of personnel to plan and
build future strategies. This is a serious matter, as {{U}}(68) {{/U}}
are often conducted by inexperienced staff, owing to the loss of many middle
management positions. This inability to recruit strategically will leave many
companies without the skills and vision to plan ahead and {{U}}(70)
{{/U}} to achieve long-term growth.
填空题Acupuncture-it worked for me
Pare, 25, woke up one Monday morning with an incredibly painful arm and shoulder. "I hadn"t done anything to it, I just must have slept awkwardly," she says. "I couldn"t move it more than four inches up or to the side. " Her doctor suggested it might be fluid on the bone and gave her anti-inflammatory tablets and pain-killers. He said if the pain did not go away she would probably need injections into the joint and physiotherapy. Pare says, "The pain-killers were so strong that they made me dozy and sick, so I stopped taking them. By Friday morning I had a severe headache, the shoulder pain and a feeling like a really bad hangover. A neighbour happened to be an acupuncturist and I went to ask advice. I wash"t happy with the idea of injections when my doctor wasn"t even sure what the problem was. "
The acupuncturist treated Pare immediately. "She put a needle in my shin. I didn"t look-l[ was afraid. I felt a small prick. She asked me to move my arm and I couldn"t. She twisted the needle and I felt a dull ache, and suddenly I could move my arm. The pain just completely went away," says Pam.
The acupuncturist then inserted needles between Pare"s thumb and forefinger and in the bend of her elbow, and connected them to an electrical box to provide pulsating stimulation. Pare has had no problems since "I would recommend it to anyone," she says.

填空题Businesses Thrive on
Transparency Stakeholders scrutinize business
activity. Corporate transparency is changing the face of
business. Consumers are now armed with new tools to uncover information about
business firms on matters important to them. Corporations have no choice but to
rethink their values and behaviors. Several factors drive this
trend. ·The success of market economies and globalization: As
market capitalism grows globally, the competitive success of firms and nations
depends on genuine performance. ·The rise of knowledge work and
business webs that depend on openness and candor regarding business and
production matters, as opposed to firms' knowledge, which remains in employees'
brains and resources. ·The spread of communications technology,
especially the Internet, which challenges traditional business hierarchies by
making information pervasive, immediate, and impossible to control.
·Demographics and the rise of the Net Generation: Young people today are
more aware of the world around them and have a stronger sense of civil values
than previous generations, mostly through technologies like the
Internet. ·The rising global civil foundation: It's becoming
more difficult to get away with bad behavior. The corporate
world is responding by behaving more responsibly; business integrity is on the
rise-and not for just legal or ethical reasons. It makes economic sense. Firms
that exhibit ethical values, openness, and candor have discovered that they can
better compete and profit. Furthermore, firms can't hide their secrets, thanks
to information and communications innovations. Firms are transparent whether
they want to be or not, and many are opting to make themselves transparent to
better serve their shareholders and the public. The
international banana company Chiquita is a firm that has benefited from this
transparency. Chiquita saved itself from bankruptcy by becoming a transparent
organization with more open, honest, and straightforward communications with all
its stakeholders. Furthermore, a dramatic change in the company's image
occurred: Chiquita has won several awards and is widely cited as a leader in
corporate responsibility. Transparency has resulted in a
network of stakeholders who scrutinize firms, with or without their knowledge.
Firms that don't pay attention to this network open themselves to attack and can
be devastated or destroyed. Those that stay aware of constituent and community
values and behave accordingly can develop sustainable business models.
Other benefits of transparency include more successful business
partnerships and improved employee trust, resulting in lower costs, improved
quality, better innovation, and loyalty. Transparency will also bring about a
new breed of executive, one who has integrity, who leads by example, and who has
the courage to do the right thing. Transparency demands that the corporation
change, from paternalistic, inward-looking, and self-indulgent to engaged,
stakeholder focused, responsive, and responsible. Mark each
statement as either true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.

填空题Every year since 1998, Fortune Magazine has published a list of the "100 Best Companies to Work For". How does the magazine choose the companies? Firstly, it uses a survey. 350 employees answer fifty-seven questions about their company. Secondly, Fortune Magazine looks at important features of companies; for example, pay, benefits, and communication between workers and management. Finally, the magazine compares the results to find its Top 100. To a certain extent, the results are guesswork, but the companies on the list, by and large, have many things in common: they pay their employees well, they allow workers to make decisions, and they offer a comfortable workplace. Broadly speaking, however, the winners tend to offer something above and beyond the norm. J. M. Smucker, a jam and jelly company, give its workers free muffins and bagels for breakfast; at Griffin Hospital, employees get free massages; a bank called First Horizon National gives its employees time off to visit their children's classrooms. Wegmans Food Markets sent one worker on a ten-day trip to London, Paris and Italy to learn about cheese. This is not unusual for the New York-based company, which is well-known for the scholarships it gives its employees to further their education. At W. L. Gore, workers decide on their colleagues' salaries. Surprisingly enough, the most important thing for employees is not money. It is freedom to develop ideas. Timberland offers a six-month paid sabbatical for employees who have "a personal dream that benefits the community ". Let's not forget that all these companies are businesses whose priority is making money. They have to make a profit. And do they? Seemingly, the answer is a big " yes". The number one company on Fortune's 2005 list, Wegmans, makes a fortune. The company, which has a motto. "Employees first, customers second", is one of the fifty largest private companies in the US, with annual sales of $3. 6 billion, according to Forbes magazine. Apparently, being good to your employees is no obstacle to making money. How much of Wegmans' success is due to the company's policies? "Up to a point, the success is because of the freedom they give us, " says one employee. " On the other hand, no company gets rich just by being nice. Wegmans has great marketing strategies and it's well-positioned within the community. Irve been here for fifteen years. Looking back, I'd say that the company's innovations for customers, such as the Shoppers' Club electronic discount programme in the 90s, have been just as important as the benefits to staff. " But the employee benefits are striking. Fundamentally, Wegmans believes in professional development. As well as scholarships, the company gives its employees business opportunities. For years, one employee made delicious cookies for her colleagues. Eventually, she started selling the cookies in Wegmans. "I just asked the manager, " she says. " With hindsight. I should have asked earlier. I could have made more money! " The staff's freedom to make decisions is another thing you won't find everywhere. Essentially, Wegmans wants its workers to do almost anything to keep the customers happy. Believe it or not, an employee once cooked a Thanksgiving turkey in the store for a customer because the woman's turkey, bought in Wegmans, was too big for her oven. One manager says, i
