[填空题]Read the article below about stress management, and answer questions 13-20 on the opposite page.A Lesson In Stress Management Demands placed on us at work can often lead to considerable worry and discomfort.There are, however, ways of protecting ourselves from the stress we face at work.We interviewed Jane Collard, a consultant in stress management.1.In Jane Collard's opinion, stress is becoming an increasingly common feature of the workplace.Stress is a highly inpidual reaction, which varies considerably from person to person, and it is difficult for some employees to avoid it.Indeed, stress is regarded by many as part of the organizational culture of our institutions: it comes with the job.Recent figures indicate that time taken off work because of stress has increased by 500 per cent since the 1950s.Undoubtedly, changes in working conditions have led to greater pressure at work at all levels.With reductions in staffing, workloads for inpidual employees have increased.In addition, many employees are left worrying about the security of their jobs.2.On the stress management courses that she runs, Jane Collard tries to make the trainees realise that stress in itself is not harmful.Everyone needs a certain level of stress to enable them to feel motivated and to perform effectively.A complete absence of stress can be as damaging as overstress, since it can make people lose interest in their work, and even lead to depression.The difficulties occur when the amount of stress rises above a level which is healthy for a particular inpidual.If this happens, the effects are very obvious and the trainees are taught to recognize the signs.Stress may be expressed physically, for example through headaches and tiredness, or through emotional problems such as depression.A person suffering from stress may also start to behave differently, and can be difficult to deal with.3.While it may not always be possible to prevent stress, there are a number of ways in which it can be controlled.The first thing that the trainees learn is how to manage their time effectively.This involves, first of all, setting realistic goals for both the short and long term.Once this framework has been established, tasks are then prioritised on a daily basis.The trainees are also reminded that when they are under pressure the less important items should be left, and they should never hesitate to delegate.Everyone is encouraged to look at ways of reducing 'wasted time ', for example by grouping similar tasks together or dealing with items immedkiately.4.Jane feels that one of the most useful features of the course is that it enables trainees to deal with those demands or deadlines that they regard as unreasonable.They are encouraged to avoid being defensive, but at the same time they are advised not to be afraid of saying 'no'.They are asked to give reasons only if necessary.The training helps them to foresee difficult situations or unwanted demands, and they learn how to prepare themselves mentally.Everyone is encouraged not to get stuck in negative thought patterns, where stress can feed a circular sense of helplessness.One solution they discuss is to think of a more encouraging alternative for each negative message.They learn, for example, to remind themselves that nothing terrible happens when a demand is refused or a deadline missed.Life goes on.Questions 13-16 For questions 13-16, choose the best title for each numbered paragraph from the list below.For each numbered paragraph 1-4, mark one letter(A-G)on your Answer Sheet.Do not use any letter more than once.13 Paragraph 1 ______ 14 Paragraph 2 ______ 15 Paragraph 3 ______ 16 Paragraph 4 ______ A Higher stress levels among top managers B Coping with stress through a positive attitude C Time lost at work through sickness D Causes of increased stress in the work environment E Explanations for missed deadlines F Stress reduction through better organisation G Typical problems associated with stress.收起解析 收藏

[填空题]1.Others in his field think very highly of him.2.His ideas have spread beyond the business world.3.He felt that people should be able to enjoy their work.4.His ideas are more complex than they seem.5.He did a variety of interesting things before writing his books.6.His most successful book was written with a colleague.7.He is particularly skilled at forecasting important developments.8.Contact with the military was an early influence on his thinking.A John Adair Adair is the pioneering British thinker in the theory of leadership.He was the first person in the UK to hold a professorship in Business Leadership and has published a series of influential books on the subject.Despite his quiet appearance, Adair has had a colourful life, serving in a Bedouin regiment and working on an Arctic fishing boat!His initial interest in leadership came from his army experience and he used to lecture at the highly prestigious academy where British army offices are trained.He now works as an international consultant.B Edward de Bono De Bono is unusual among major gurus for two reasons: firstly, he was born not in one of the great industrial nations but on the tiny island of Malta.Secondly, his ideas have reached a wider audience than just managers, so that his books have become essential rending in many different disciplines.Most of de Bono s work has been concerned with the way human beings can train themselves to think more creatively.This apparently simple idea has resulted in 37 books and a highly successful career as a lecturer and consultant.C Peter Drucker Probably no other single thinker has done as much as Drucker to establish management as a serious area of study.Certainly, his fellow management thinkers consider him one of the founding fathers of the discipline, and his books and articles are quoted more than those of any other management writer.His first book was published as far back as 1939, yet he is still writing and teaching.His greatest distinction has been his ability to predict coming trends in business and economics.As a result, his ideas are treated with the greatest respect and interest.D Frederick Herzberg Although relatively few contemporary management students will have read his books, Herzberg s name is instantly recognisable to anyone who has studied industrial organisations.This is because the American psychologist was responsible for introducing the concept of motivation into management thinking.As a young man, Herzberg became deeply interested in mental illness and the human need for mental and emotional satisfaction.This led him to criticise the approach of many companies to job design, and to argue for the need for job enrichment to stimulate employees efforts.E Tom Peters The American s reputation was created in the I 980s by the spectacular success of one book, In Search of Excellence, co-written with Robert Waterman.The two were working together as management consultants and no-one expected their first(and only)book to end up selling 5 million copies worldwide!Although his ideas have been criticised, Peters popularity as a speaker and writer has continued to grow.So much so that Peters has created his own business to market books, videos and consultancy based on his work..收起解析 收藏

[填空题]1.Genuine feedback would release resources to be used elsewhere.2.Managers are expected to enable their staff to work effectively.3.Experts are unlikely to facilitate a move to genuine feedback.4.There are benefits when methods of evaluating performance have been negotiated.5.Appraisals tend to focus on the nature of the face-to-face relationship between employees and their line managers.6.The idea that employees are responsible for what they do seems reasonable.7.Despite experts’ assertion, management structures prevent genuine feedback 8.An increasing amount of effort is being dedicated to the appraisal process.A Performance appraisal is on the up and up.It used to represent the one time of year when getting on with the work was put on hold while enormous quantities of management hours were spent in the earnest ritual of rating and ranking performance.Now the practice is even more frequent.This of course makes it all the more important how appraisal is conducted.Human resources professionals claim that managers should strive for objectivity and thus for feedback rather than judgement.But the simple fact of the matter is that the nature of hierarchy distorts the concept of feedback because performance measure are conceived hierarchically.Unfortunately, all too many workers suffer from the injustices that this generates.B The notion behind performance appraisal-that workers should be held accountable for their performance-is plausible.However, the evidence suggests that the premise is wrong.Contrary to assumptions appraisal is not an effective means of performance improvement-it is judgement imposed rather than feedback, a judgement imposed by the hierarchy.Useful feedback , on the other hand, would be information that told both the manager and worker how well the work system functioned, and suggested ways to make it better.C Within the production system at the car manufacturer Toyota, there is nothing that is recognizable as performance appraisal.Every operation in the system has an associated measure.The measure has been worked out between the operators and their manager.In every case, the measure is related to the purpose of the work.That measure is the basis of feedback to the manager and worker alike.Toyota’s basic idea is expressed in the axiom “bad news first”.Both managers and workers are psychologically safe in the knowledge that it is the system-not the worker –that is the primary influence on performance.It is management’s responsibility to ensure that the workers operate in a system that facilitates their performance.D In many companies , performance appraisal springs from misguided as assumptions.To judge achievement, managers use date about each worker’s activity, not an evaluation of the process or system’s achievement of purpose.The result is that performance appraisal involves managers’ judgement overruling their staff’s, ignoring the true influences on performance.Thus the appraisal experience becomes a question of pleasing the boss, particularly in meetings, which is psychologically unsafe and socially driven, determining who is “in” and who is “ out”.E When judgement is replaced by feedback in the true sense, organizations will have a lot more time to devote to their customers and their business.No time will be wasted in appraisal.This requires a fundamental shift in the way we think about the organization of performance appraisals, which almost certainly will not be forthcoming from the human resources profession..收起解析 收藏

计：.共9人答过，平均正确率0%.课程讲解：.本题考查的知识点在《轻松过关一》第20页有讲解，与第28页判断题第18题相似；.参考解析：.关于员工评估和反馈的文章。一个组织内部的上下级沟通真的太重要了。第一题，说真正的反馈可以释放用在别处的资源。意思上真正的反馈可以让人腾出精力。答案是E段的第一句：When judgement is replaced by feedback in the true sense, organizations will have a lot more time to devote to their customers and their business。这题的意思还算比较明显，feedback in the true sense，就是genuine feedback，devote to their customers and the business,就是把资源释放在别的地方。第二题，说经理们是被期望着使员工工作得更有效率。答案是C段的最后一句：It is management’s responsibility to ensure that the workers operate in a system that facilitates their performance.经理们的责任，也就是managers are expected to，有利于他们的表现，就是enable their staff to work effectively。第三题,说专家不大可能有利于真正反馈的进程。答案是E段的最后一句：which almost certainly will not be forthcoming from the human resources profession。人力资源专家，就是experts。需要理解下这里的forthcoming的含义：willing to pulge information.(人)愿意透露消息的。专家们不愿意透露消息，也就是不能指望专家来facilitate。第四题，说商讨评估表现的方法是有利的。答案是在C段，有点分散。前面说The measure has been worked out between the operators and their manager。这个措施是在操作者和经理们之间拟定的。between the operators and managers，也就是评估表现的方法是被商讨了的。后面介绍的情况都是这个measure有多么的好：is the basis of feedback。综合起来，就是选项说的，商讨是有好处的。第五题，说评估倾向聚焦于员工和他们直属经理们之间面对面关系的性质。这个选项可能会弄的人一头雾水，首先得弄明白这里的面对面关系指的是什么。员工和直属经理的关系，就是上下级的关系，过分看重这个关系，那么在评估过程中就会有顾虑，谁还敢揭自己上司的短?所以这个句子的意思是说评估过程中有顾忌，无人敢说真话。答案是D段的这么一句：Thus the appraisal experience becomes a question of pleasing the boss。评估过程成了讨好自己的老板，说的就是这个意思。第六题，说员工对他们所作负责的想法听起来很合理。答案是B段的第一句：The notion behind performance appraisal-that workers should be held accountable for their performance-is plausible。这里的accountable就是负有责任。Plausible是貌似真实的，也就是seems reasonable。第七题，说虽然有专家们的主张，管理层的结构阻止了真正的反馈。答案是A段的这么一句：the simple fact of the matter is that the nature of hierarchy distorts the concept of feedback。管理层的机构，就是这句里提到的the nature of hierarchy，等级制的性质。这个单词在BEC阅读里常出现。distort，扭曲，就是选项里的prevent。第八题，说在评估过程中投入了更多的努力。答案是A段的这么一句，有点隐晦：Now the practice is even more frequent.This of course makes it all the more important how appraisal is conducted.这个句子是紧跟上文的，the practice指的就是appraisal。评估的更频繁，评估是怎么进行的显得更加重要。认为更加重要了(makes it all the more important)，就会投入更多努力了。综合起来，这些的意思就是评估过程投入了更多的努力。不太容易看出来。.第8题笔记记录我的笔记(0)| 精选笔记(0).选择笔记标签：试题内容(0)答案解析(0)

[填空题]1.This company has been involved in persifying its business activities.2.Although this company is doing well, it has a number of internal difficulties to deal with 3.This company has reduced the profits it makes on inpidual items 4.One statistic is a less accurate guide to this company’s performance than another

5.The conditions which have helped this company are likely to be less favourable in the future 6.This company’s share price has been extremely volatile over the last twelve months 7.This company is likely to be the subject of a takeover bid in the near future 8.This company’s performance exemplifies a widely held belief A Chemical Company Masterson’s interim pre-tax profits growth of 20% was somewhat inflated as a result of the income received from the disposal of several of the company’s subsidiaries.The underlying 8% rise in operating profits is a more realistic gauge of the company’s true progress.However, Masterson’s impending merger with Bentley and Knight and its appointment of a new chief executive should mean that the company will be able to sustain growth for the foreseeable fut5ure.The share price has varied little during the course of the year and now stands at ￡ 6.75 B Hotel Group During the past year the Bowden Hotel Group has acquired 77 new properties, thus doubling in size.last week the group reported pre-tax profits of ￡ 88 million in the first six months of the year, ahead of expectations and helped by a strong performance from its London-based hotels and newly expanded US business.However,there is still some way to go.Integration of the new acquisitions is still not complete and, while the share price has risen recently, major problems with integration have yet to be solved.C High-tech Company This time last year a share in Usertech was worth just over ￡ 1.six months ago it was worth ￡ 40.today it is priced at under ￡ 8.if proof were need, here is an illustration of how much of a lottery the technology market can be.But some technology companies are fighting back and Usertech is one of them.What has renewed excitement in the company is the opening of its new American offices in Dallas and its ambitious plans to expand its user base in both North and Latin America.D Building Company Renton’s share price has risen gradually over the past year from ￡2.4 to ￡ 3.8.The company has been successful in choosing prime location for its buildings and has benefited from the buoyant demand for housing.Whilst this demand is expected to slow down somewhat during the next year, investors are encouraged by the company’s decision to move into building supermarkets.Work has already begun on two sites in London, and the company is expected to sign a contract within the next month for building four large supermarkets in Scotland.E Pottery Manufacturer Milton Dishes has been through a shake-up over the past year.The group, which has been cutting margins and improving marketing, may post a small profit this year.The many members of the Milton family, who between them own 58 per cent of the business, have been watching the share price rise steadily and several are looking to sell.Trade rival Ruskin has bought up just over 17 percent of the shares and could well be spurred into further action by the signs of a recovery at the firm..收起解析 收藏

计：.共4人答过，平均正确率0%.课程讲解：.本题考查的知识点在《轻松过关一》第20页有讲解，与第28页判断题第18题相似；.参考解析：.做BEC的阅读，可以先看看说明的第一句话，了解这篇文章总的讲的是什么：Look at the statements below and at the five reports about companies on the opposite page。有关5个公司的报告，介绍了这些公司的股价以及并购等一些发展策。很概，而且抢眼一看，内容都是大同小异，要在这些散而简要的信息中迅速准确的寻找答案，就需要对一些关键词格外敏感，好比表示程度（多和少，大和小）的形容词，还有类似increase和reduce之类的动词。这种敏锐捕捉答案的能力，只能在不断做题不断总结中积累。

第一题，说这个公司涉及到多样化它的商业活动。Diversify是关键词，原文中不一定要出现一个类似的动词，但是在意思理解上一定要严格从这个方向上找。多样化，就是不把鸡蛋放在一个篮子里。答案在D段，相当的隐晦：Whilst this demand is expected to slow down somewhat during the next year, investors are encouraged by the company’s decision to move into building supermarkets。这方面的需求（指housing）预计要减少，投资者被公司进军超市建筑市场的决定所鼓舞。也就是说，这个建筑公司原本是做housing的，在housing的需求下降时，转而开拓了supermarkets的市场。综合起来，就是persify。

第二题，说虽然这个公司做的很好，但还是面临很多困难。这个好把握，所对应的公司一定是讲了一堆成绩后，来一个BUT或者是HOWEVER，说明问题。答案是B段，关键句子是：However,there is still some way to go.整个B段的逻辑就是，前面一堆成绩，然后以这个however引导的句子为转折句，承上启下，后面说明面对的问题，最后一句也很明显：major problems with integration have yet to be solved.第三题，说公司减少了他们在单个物件上的利润。关键词是reduce。答案是E段：The group, which has been cutting margins and improving marketing。这里的cutting margins就是reduced the profits。不过比较纠结选项中的inpidual item指代的是什么，估计是指pottery（陶器），因为这个公司是pottery manufacturer。

第四题，说对于公司的表现，一个统计数据没有另外一个统计数据准确。答案在A段，一开头就提到了两个统计数据，一个是interim pre-tax profits growth，另一个是underlying 8% rise in operating profits.认为前面一个inflated（夸张的），后面一个是a more realistic gauge（是个更精确的测量）。第五题，说曾经帮助过这个公司的环境在未来可能不那么有利。答案还在D段，前面说has benefited from the buoyant demand for housing（公司曾经受益于住房市场的火爆需求），但是这个需求在未来预期要放缓（this demand is expected to slow down somewhat during the next year）。选项中的the conditions which have helped the company，就是指的住房需求。第六题，公司股价在过去12个月波动很大（volatile）。答案在C段，开头的一段数字，相当的明显：This time last year a share in Usertech was worth just over ￡ 1.six months ago it was worth ￡ 40.today it is priced at under ￡ 8。由1变到40再变回了8，波动很大。第七题，公司在近期将成为一起收购案件的主角。答案在E段，绕了几个圈。先说Milton family的成员一共拥有58%的股份，有些人准备卖（own 58 per cent of the business, have been watching the share price rise steadily and several are looking to sell.），最后一句说对手Ruskin已经购买了超过17%的股份，并且针对这个公司复苏的迹象可能有进一步行动（Ruskin has bought up just over 17 percent of the shares and could well be spurred into further action by the signs of a recovery at the firm.）。自家的股东要卖，对手可能要买，综合起来就是这个公司近期可能会卷入收购案件中。第八题，说这个公司的表现例证了一个被广泛认同的观点。答案是C段的这么一句：if proof were need, here is an illustration of how much of a lottery the technology market can be.如果说需要证据的话，那么这就是高科技市场多么像彩票的证明。意思是股票市场经常大起大落，投机现象很严重，这个观点毫无疑问是被广泛认同的。此题要想做对还真需要一定的想象力，选项太抽象，太概括，无头无尾，而原文说的又很具体，没有一定的思维突破和转变还真不太好选。.第9题笔记记录我的笔记(0)| 精选笔记(0).选择笔记标签：试题内容(0)答案解析(0)

· Read this text from an article about health clubs.· Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill in each of the gaps.· For each gap 9H on your Answer Sheet.· Do not use any letter more than once.· There is an example at the beginning(0).Travel stress brings boom to health clubs

A rapid growth in business travel has provided a lucrative spin-off for British health clubs as companies try to prevent hard-working executives from suffering travel-related stress.Health clubs are fully booked throughout the coming months all around the country and many are planning to expand their facilities.0 H According to Gillie Turner, group marketing manager for the Champneys group of health clubs, during the last recession executives lost many of their extra benefits as companies cut back.9

She says that large companies also seem to have decided that it is no good sending someone to a country like Spain as a reward for doing a good job, because they will simply eat too much and flop onto a beach.10

Champneys, the company acknowledged as the market leader in this field, is now planning to introduce a special “Profiting from Stress” course, which will run over three days..11

Jonathon Stapleton, general manager of Champneys, says that modern corporate life being what it is, most business travellers find that they are having to do the work whichwas done by two.12

To meet this new demand, other health clubs are also thinking of introducing similar schemes.Clare Brandish, the sales and marketing director of another health club, has noticed a marked change in the clientele at her club.13

Businesses of all kinds are anxious to reduce absenteeism.14

Much of the problem is caused by long periods away from home, irregular hours, business entertaining and jet lag.According to the Guild of Business Travel Agents, sales of business-class airline tickets have risen by 12% in the past year, hotel bookings have gone up by 36% and car hire has risen by 24%.Dave Reynolds, the GBTA chief executive, says that the trouble is that the same number of people are being asked to travel more often.He comments that it is no wonder they need to take a break in a health club.A It has been calculated that about 40 million working days are lost each year in Britain because of stress, ten times as many as are lost 10 industrial disputes.B This has involved a considerable rise in the number of business bookings, whereas previously most clients came as private inpiduals.C Now they are being restored, as industry realises that the health of its executives is vital.D But who will benefit most from these developments?

E Because of the pressures this imposes, many companies have now decided that it is worthwhile paying for their senior executives to take a proper break and get advice on how to combat stress.F Executives taking part in it will be given massages and health treatments, workouts and a range of talks on how to deal with stress, especially when travelling.G So what s the reason for this now trend?.收起解析 收藏

计：.共3人答过，平均正确率0%.课程讲解：.本题考查的知识点在《轻松过关一》第20页有讲解，与第28页判断题第18题相似；.参考解析：.这篇文章是关于career-planning services的，职业生涯的规划问题。文章没有说一些假、大、空的话，句句都很实在，认为人不可能一开始就认清自己的职业方向，不可能一开始就清楚自己喜欢什么适合什么，一切都有一个过程。这些对我们都是启示。

文章第一段开头先说了传统的规划职业生涯的建议。最后一句很重要，揭示了下文的方向：However, to pursue a single option for life has always been unrealistic。这一句直接和第二段的空的内容挂钩。一生只追求一个选择是不现实的。第九空的后面说For most people this degree of certainty about the future does not exist.。这里的this degree of certainty是指代的前面的内容，意思很明白，说的是职业方向不会变化。选项中内容符合这一点的是B：the jobs we enter, will change little during our working lives.第十题。这一段讲随着技术的变化和新的工作系统的引进，就业市场的结构也会跟着变化。我们必须面对职业生涯的不确定性。很明显，第十空的内容说的是变化，关于employment的，满足这一个条件的选项是A：雇主和员工之间的关系发生了演变，我们已经不能指望与一个雇主保持长久的关系了。

第十一题，这一段是承接上文讲的变化。Change是重点，怎么样适应change。这一空的前面说传统的职业计划的用处已经非常有限（traditional career plans will be of very limited use），这一空的后面讲的是具体的适应变化的方法，用的动词非常明显，updating。所以从逻辑上看，这里填入一个承上启下的表示要变化的句子是最合适的。选E，accommodate a number of objectives，适应一些目标。

第十二题，前面说flexible workers已经占据了劳动力的一半。后面说我们已经进入了一个劳动力市场成分多样化的时期。空格填入的内容应该是和劳动力市场的这种转变有关。选C。C选项this growth指的是前面说的flexible workers所占比重增加，a full time employment和flexible workers是对应的。

第十三题，这题很明显，鼓励员工写个人发展计划（PDP）,后面就是介绍这个计划是什么。D选项，非常明显的答案。

第十四题，这一空前面说建议人们通过从传统的技能转向可转变的技能来增强自己的受雇就业能力（employability）。空格后面的instead很关键，常常说明前面的意思发生了转折。这一空的后面说consider a wider range of needs，考虑一个更广泛的需求。一个instead，一个a wider range of needs，正好可以和F选项里的However和too narrow相对应上。.第19题笔记记录我的笔记(0)| 精选笔记(0).选择笔记标签：试题内容(0)答案解析(0)
