The Workers’ Role in Management

Traditionally, it has been the worker’s role  to  work  and  management’s role  to  manage.Managers  have  planned  and  directed  the  firm’s  operations  with  little  thought to  consulting(咨询) the labor  force. Managers  have  rarely  felt  compelled(被迫) to obtain the workers’ opinions or to explain their decisions to  their  employees . At most, companies  have  provided “suggestion boxes”in which  workers could place  ideas  for  improving  procedures. In recent years,however,many management specialists have been arguing  that  workers  are  more  than  sellers  of  labor--they play a vital  role in the  company  and  may  be  able  to  make  significant  contributions to its  management. Furthermore,major company decisions greatly affect workers  and  their  dependents. This is particularly  true  of  plant  closings, which may  put  thousands  on  the  unemployment  lines. School workers  play a stronger role in  management?

Workers should have a role in  management. At the very least the labor force should be  informed  of  major  policy  decision . A common complaint among rank-and-fileworkers(普通工人) is the  lack of information  about  company  policies  and  actions.Between 1980 and 1985 about five million workers  were  the  victims(受害者) of plantclosings  and  permanent layoffs(解雇)， often with no warning. At least 90 days notice ought to be given in such instance  so  that  workers  have time  to adjust. Management should consult workers  before  closing  a  plant  because  the  workers  mightbe  able  to  suggest  ways of improving  productivity and  reducing costs and  mightbe  willing to  make  concessions(让步) that will help  keep  the  plant  operating.

It school become a general practice to  include workers  in  some  managerial(管理的) decision making. There  ought to  be  representatives(代表)of the  workers  on the  firm’s board of  directors  or  other  major  policy-making  groups.If rank-and-file workers  are  given  a  voice  in  the  planning  and  management  of  the  work  flow,they  will  help  to  make  improvements,their  morale(士气) will  rise,and their  productivity  will increase. As a further incentive(激励) they must be given ashare  in  the  company’s profits . This  can be  done  through  employee  stock-ownership  plans, bonuses(奖金),or rewards for efficiency  and  productivity.Finally, when a plant can no longer operate at a profit,the workers should be given the opportunity to purchase(购买) the plant  and  run  it  themselves.

Television

Television-the most pervasive and persuasive of modern technologies,marked  by  rapid  change and growth--is moving  into  a  new era,an era  of extraordinary sophistication and versatility, which promises to reshape our lives and our world.It is an  electronic  revolution  of sorts, made possible by the marriage of  television  and  computer  technologies.

The word “television”,derived from its Greek (tele:distant) and Latin (vision:sight) roots,can literally  be interpreted  as  sight from  a  distant.Very simply put,it words in this way:through a sophisticated  system  of  electronics,television  provides  the  capability  of  converting  an  image (focused on a special photoconductive plate within a camera) into electronic impulses,which can be sent through a wire or cable.These impulses, when fed into a  receiver(television set),can  then  be  electronically  reconstituted  into  that  same  image.

Television  is  more  than  just  an  electronic  system, however.It is  a  meansof  expression, as well as a vehicle  for  communication, and as such becomes a powerful  tool  for  reaching  other  human  beings.

The field of television can  be  divided  into  two  categories  determined  by  its  means  of  transmission  of  television  signals.Second,there  is  non-broadcasttelevision, which  provides  for  the  needs  of  individuals  or  specific  interestgroups  through controlled  transmission  techniques.

Traditionally，television  has  been  a  medium  of  the  masses. We  are  most  familiar  with  broadcast  television  because  it  has  been  with  us  for  about  thirty-seven  years  in  a  form  similar  to  what  exists  today.During  those  years,it  has  been  controlled,for  the  most  part,by  the  broadcast  networks,ABC,NBC,and CBS,who  have  been  the  major  purveyors  of  news,information,and  entertainment. These  giants of  broadcasting  have  actually  shaped  not  only  television  but  our  perception  of  it  as  well. We  have  come  to  look  upon  the  picture tube  as  a  source  of  entertainment,placing  our  role  in  this  dynamic  medium as  the  passive  viewer.

11.What  is  the  literal  meaning  of  the  word “television”? ( B )

A.Medium  of  the  masses.

B.Sight  from  a  distance.

C.Airwave transmission.

D.Vehicle  for  communication.

12.What  filed  of  television  is  intended  for  specific  groups?  ( D )

A.Broadcast-based     B.Reconstituted   

C.Traditional.   D.Non- broadcast.

13.According  to  the  passage,how  many  major  networks  are  these?  ( B )

A.Tow   B.Three   

C.Four    D.Five

14.Which  of  the  following  is  NOT  mentioned  in  the  passage  as  a  function  of  electronics  in  television  transmissions?  ( C )

A.The  conversion  of  an  image  into  electronic  impulses.

B.The  sending  of  impulses  through  a  wire  cable.

C.The  changing  of  one  image  into  another  image.

D.The  feeding  of  impulses  into  a  receiver.

15.Which  of  the  following  statements  about  the  relationship  between  television  and  its  viewers  can  best  be  inferred  from  the passage?   ( A )

A.Viewers  do  not  take  an  active  role  in  watching  television.

B.Viewers  would  prefer  increased  news  coverage.

C.Viewers  like  to  use  television  to  reach  other  human  beings.

D.Viewers  have  grown  tired  of  television.

Science Fiction

① Amongst  the  most  popular  books  being  written  today  are  those  which  are usually  classified   as  science  fiction.Hundreds  of  titles  are  published  every  year  and  are  read  by  all  kinds  of  people.Furthermore,some  of  the  most  successful  films  of  recent  years  have  been  based  on  science  fiction stories.

② It is  often  thought  that  science  fiction  is  a  fairly  new  development  inliterature, but  its  ancestors  can  be  found  in  books  written  hundreds  of  years  ago. These  books  were  often  concerned  with  the  presentation  of  some  form  of  ideal  society,a  theme  which  is  still  often  found  in  modern  stories.Science  fiction  is  a  genre  of  fiction  with  imaginative  but  more  or  less  plausible  content  such  as  settings  in  the  future,futuristic  science  and  technology,space  travel,parallel  universes,aliens,and  paranormal  abilities.Exploringthe  consequences  of  scientific  innovations  is  one  purpose  of  science  fiction,making  it  a  “literature  of  ideas”.Science  fiction  has  been  used  by  authors  as  a  device  to  discuss  philosophical  ideas  such  as  identity,desire,morality  and  social  structure.

③ Most  of  the  classics  of  science  fiction, however,have  been  written  withinthe  last  hundred  years.Books  by  writers  such  as  Jules  Verne  and  H.G. Wells,to  mention  just  two  well-known  authors,have  been  translated  into  many  languages.

④ Modern  science  fiction  writers  don’t  write  about  men  from  Mars  or  space  adventure  stories.They  are  more  interested  in  predicting  the  results  of  technical  developments  on  society  and  the  human  mind; or  in  imagining  future  worlds  which  are  a  reflection  of  the  world  which  we  live  in  now.Because  of  this  their  writing  has  obvious  political  undertones.Science  fiction  islargely  based  on  writing  rationally  about  alternative  possible  worlds  or  futures.It  is  similar  to,but  differs  from  fantasy  in  that,within  the  contest of  the  story,its  imaginary  elements  are  largely  possible  within  scientifically  established  or  scientifically  postulated  laws  of  nature (though  some  elements  in  a  story  might  still  be  pure  imaginative  speculation). The  settings for  science  fiction  are  often  contrary  to  consensus  reality, but  most  science  fiction  relies  on  a  considerable  degree  of  disbelief,which  is  facilitated  in  the  reader’s  mind  by  potential  scientific  explanations  or  solutions  to  various  fictional  elements.

 ⑤ In  an  age  where  science  fact  frequently  overtakes  science  fiction,the  writers  may  find  it  difficult  to  keep  ahead of  scientific  advances.Those  whoare  sufficiently  clear-sighted  to  see  the  way  we  are  going,however,may  provide  a  valuable  lesson on  how  to  deal  with  the  problems  which  society   will  inevitably  face  as  it  tries  to  master  its  new  technology.

17.Paragraph ②     E       

18.Paragraph ③     C     

19.Paragraph ④     F        

20.Paragraph ⑤     D

Endangered  Species  Reading: Polar  Bear  Makes  the  List

    In  Spring 2008,the  polar  beer  was  placed  on  the  endangered  species  list.According  to  the Endangered  Species  Act,an  endangered  species  is  an  animal  that  is  likely  to  face  extinction  in  its  natural  habitat.26   F   The  ESA defines  a  threatened  species  as  one  that  is  likely  to  become “endangered”in  the  foreseeable  future.

The  polar  bear  is  the  first  animal  that  has  been  classified  as  endangered  due  primarily  to  global  warming.27   B   Heating  homes,driving cars,and  burning  garbage  all  require  fossil  fuels  that  lead  to  global  warming.

The  polar  beer’s  habitat  is  more  vulnerable  to  global  warming  than  many  other  species.Polar  bears  live  mainly  on  the  sea  ice  in  the  Arctic.28   E   when  the  ice  melts  many  polar  bears  move  to  land  and  live  off  their  stored  fat.In  the  Arctic,global  warming  is  causing  the  ice  to  melt  slightly  earlier  and  form  slightly  later.This  results  in  a  shorter  feeding  season  for  the  polar  beer.Some  risk  their  lives  to  find  ice.If  they  have  to  swim  too  far  they  will  drown  from  exhaustion  and  hunger.

29   D   Every  species  of  plant,animal,and  insect  there  is  threatened  by  global  warming.Nevertheless,environmentalist  groups  such  as  the  World  Wildlife  Fund  often  study  large  carnivores  in  order  to  assess  the  health  of  an ecosystem(生态系统).30   C   In  addition,donations  are  more  commonly  offered  for  the  protection  of  large  animals  such  as  bears  or  elephants.People  in  general  are  less  interested  in  conservation  efforts  that  protect  small  wildlife,such  as  plants  or  insects.However,by  using  donor  money  to  protect  the  habitat  of  the  larger  animals(ex.reforestation programs),entire  ecosystems  can  be  protected.

It  is  important  that  animals  such  as  the  polar  bear  make  it  onto  theendangered  species  list.Once  they  are  on  the  list  there  are  laws  that  protect  these  animals  form  being  hunted  for  food  or  sport.Agencies also  receive  money  and  tools  to  protect  the  habitat  and  recover  the  species.The  goalof  removing  the  animal  from  the  list  is  often  achievable.In  fact,it  israrefor  a  species  to  go  extinct  after  they  make  the  list.Sadly  many  species  do  go  extinct  while  waiting  for  consideration.

Two  people,Two  Paths

You must  be  familiar  with  the  situation:Dad  is  driving.Mum  is  telling  him  where  to  go.He  is 31   C   that  they  need  to  turn  left.But  she  says  it  is  not  for  another  two  blocks.

    32   B   has  the  better  sense  of  direction? Men  or  women？They  both  do,a  new  study  says,but  in  different  ways.Canadian  researchers  have  found  men  and  women  have  33   I   methods  of  finding  their  way.Men  look  quickly  at  landmarks  and  head  off  in  what  they  think  is the  right  direction.Women,however,try to  picture  the  whole  route  in  34   L   and  then  follow  the  path  in  their  head.“Women  tend  to  be  more  detailed,while   men 35   K   to  be  a  little  bit  faster  and  a  little  bit  more  intuitive(直觉感知的)”，said  Edward  Cornell.

In  fact,said  Cornell,“sense  of 36   A   ”is  not  one  skill  but  two.The  first  is  the “survey  method”.This  is  when  you  see  all  area  from  above,such  as  a  printed  map.You  can  see,for  example,where  the  hospital  is,37   G   the  church  is  and  that  the  supermarket  is  on  its  right.The  second  skill  is  the  “route  method”,this  is  when  you  use  a   series  of  directions.You 38   D   from  the  hospital,then  turn  left,turn  right.go  uphill---and  then  you  see  the  supermarket.Men  are  more 39   E   to  use  the  survey  method  while  women  are  more  likely  to  use  one  route  and  follow  directions.Both  methods  work, and 40   H   is  better.

What  do  Shoes  Can  Do?

Researchers  say  people  can 41   accurately   (accurate)judge  90  percent  of  a  stranger’s  personality  by  looking  at  the  person’s  shoes.“Shoes  convey  useful information  about  people, ”the authors  wrote  in  the  study 42   published   (publish) in  a  journal.“Shoes  serve  as 43   nonverbal   (verbal) cues  with  symbolic  messages.”Medical  Daily  notes  that  the  number  of 44   detailed   (detail) personality  traits  include  someone’s  emotional 45   stability   (stable).Gillath said  the 46   judgements   (judge) were  based  on  the  style,cost,color and  condition  of  shoes.In  the  study,volunteers  were 47   photographed   (photograph) in  their  most  commonly  worn  shoes,and  then  filled  out  a  questionnaire.Some  of  the  results  were  expected: People  with  higher  incomes  commonly  wore  expensive  shoes,and  flashier  footwear  was 48   typically   (typical) worn  by  extroverts.However,some of  the  results  are  intriguing.For  example,practical  shoes  were  generally  worn  by  more“49   agreeable   (agree)”people,while  ankle  boots  were  more  closely  aligned  with“aggressive”personalities. The  researchers  noted  that  some  people  will  choose  shoe  styles  to  mask  their  actual  personality  traits,but  researchers  noted  that  volunteers   were  likely  to  be 50   unaware   (aware) that  their  footwear  choices  were  revealing  deep  insights  into  their  personalities.
