Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements.
For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.
Many jobs have been lost and they may not be coming back. Some occupations had already
been declining for years due to advances in technology and changes in the global economy. The
following is a list of careers that are disappearing.
Stage Performers
The five-year decline for this career was a surprising 61%. Stage performances have fallen out
of fashion and have been almost entirely replaced with movies and home entertainment
technologies.
Postal Service Mail Sorters (
分拣员
)
After losing almost 57000 jobs between 2004 and 2009, a further 30% decline in this occupation
can be seen by 2018. With more automatic processes for mail sorting and increasing
correspondence via e-mail and fax, this job is quickly becoming unnecessary.
Office Support Workers
About 300000 office support jobs disappeared between 2004 and 2009. Secretaries and file
clerks are no longer in demand as companies cut costs. Moreover, technologies like voicemail and
easy-to-use word processors have enabled professionals to do their own office work.
Photo Processors
With the rise of digital photography and automatic printing, positions for manual photo printers
are rapidly disappearing. The occupation has been steadily losing jobs in the last five years and
there might be a 24% decline by 2018.
Radio Operators
As technology advances, the need for workers to monitor communications via radiotelephone
equipment is disappearing. This already small field saw a five- year decline of 43%.

changes, ______.

Task 1
Marketing by emailing is on the increase. Compared to other media, email messages are
extremely cheap to send. With TV, you are spending on ad agencies and cable channels. With print
ads, you are helping to keep newspapers and magazines alive. Direct mail costs more than $$600
per thousand pieces. With email, there are almost no costs at all. Its low cost makes email
marketing become the most cost-effective (
划算的
) advertising method available today.
With TV, you do not know who is watching your ads. Even with direct mail, you cannot be sure
that your mail has been delivered, or that anyone reads it when it gets there. With email, you know
within 24 hours exactly which messages have been opened, by whom, what links the openers
clicked on (

), and what part of your message was working.
Because of electronic links, those who open your emails can do their own research: they can
explore and see any of the thousands of products that you sell. They can see the colors and sizes.

Task 1
Finding a good work-at-home job is not easy. Although you see all the online advertising, there
aren't that many of them. Those that are available may require that you live in a certain area or
spend at least some time in the office. Others may be only part-time jobs.
Keep in mind that the skills needed for home employment are similar to those needed for
working in an office. You'll also need a home office with a high speed internet connection, phone,
fax, computer, printer, and other basic office equipment.
To get started, consider your job search as your job. Spend as many hours per week on your
job search as you would spend working. If you're looking for full-time work, you should be spending
fill-time hours seeking a job.
Networking (
人际关系
) remains the top way to find a job and it does work.
Develop contacts
—
friends, family, even the other job seekers
—
anyone who might have the information you need. You
can take a direct approach and ask for job information or try a less formal approach and ask for
information and advice. Contact everyone you know and tell them you want to work from home.
You may be surprised by the people they know and the job information they can provide.

Task 2
Running your small business requires good staff. Once you find them, you don't want to let them
go elsewhere.
During an employee's time with a company, there are a number of forces that influence his
or
her behavior. I like to refer to them as
towards the door, or pulling them deeper into your organization.
Suppose that you've made a good hire and you want to keep the employees, the trick is to
recognize individual needs of employees and satisfy those needs, within reason, in order to keep
pulling them away from the door. Even if you can't pull them away from the door, at least don't do
things to push them out the door.
Recognize that some employees will lose interest and need something fresh to keep their
interest. If you can't continually provide challenges, opportunities for promotion and other
interesting and rewarding opportunities, then you'll have some employees leave through no fault of
your own.
The important thing is to identify your key employees and make certain they are being treated
well. Communicate with them on a regular basis to make certain that you understand what makes
them behave in a particular way, and be aware of concerns they may have about job satisfaction.
41
、
The author uses the word
A. makes employees satisfied with their work
B. drives employees to work more efficiently
C. causes employees to leave their company
D. keeps employees to remain in their
company
42
、
To keep your employees, you are advised to ______.
A. recognize and meet their needs
B. identify and overcome their faults
C. offer them a salary as high as possible
D. provide them with a better working condition

According to the passage, when is it possible for some employees to lose interest?
A. They have no rewarding opportunities.
B. The company is located in a remote area.
C. They make many mistakes in their work.

development.

Task 1

schools throughout the country. He has been with the General Electric Company (GE. since 1960.

Task 2
From: Linda Smith
To: Clarice Ryan
Subject: Report on Employees' Use of Time
Clarice, I agree that waste of work time is a serious issue. The Human Resources Department
recently surveyed the employees. They are wasting nearly two hours per day.
Here are my ideas to reduce this waste. First we need to agree on what are the most important
behaviors to stop. For example, look at activity No. 1 in the table below. Many people are doing this;
however, it is the most difficult to stop. I recommend that we focus on activities No. 2, 4, and 5.
Making phone calls shows the largest difference between men and women. Women do this
much more than men. We should ask all employees to limit these calls. They should return
non-urgent messages at their lunch break.
For No. 4, we should focus on the younger age group. We will tell them that we are going to
check their work accounts for personal messages. For No. 5, we can ask managers to watch this
more carefully. Perhaps activity No. 3 should continue. This allows employees to know each other
and it can increase their motivation. The managers will know if someone is spending too much time
talking and not enough time working.
Are you available tomorrow? I'd like to meet with you to discuss our next step.
