When it's time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask and my tape player with earphones and float (漂浮) up to the flight deck (驾驶舱).

He has been with the General Electric Company (GE) since 1960. Having taken GE with a market value of about $12 billion, Jack Welch turned it into one of the largest and most admired companies in the world, with a market value of about $500 billion, when he stepped down as itsCEO 20 years later, in .As Jack Welch wrote in a l etter to shareholders: “In the old culture, managers got their power from secret knowledge: profit margins, market share, and all that... In the new economy, the role of the leader is to express a vision, and put it into practice. That calls for open, caring relations with every employee, and face-to-face communication. People who can’t convincingly (有说服力的) express a vision won’t be successful. But those who can will become even more open——because success builds up self-confidence.”Welch believed that great business leaders have to:· possess large amounts of energy, and· know how to use that energy to motivate others. Welch moves from meeting to meeting, conveying that message—and many more others as well, some of which have become his trademarks:· Busin ess is simple.· Don’t make it complicated.· Face reality.· Don’t be afraid of change.· Use the brains of your workers.36. According to the first paragraph, Jack Welch, as a CEO, is famous for his ______.A. technical knowledgeB. overseas experienceC. family backgroundD. management style37.

In the sentence "... some of which have become his trademarks", the word "trademarks" means ______.A. product brandsB. speaking mannerC. advertising strategyD. special characteristics40. This passage is mainly about ______.A. relations between the employer and employeesB. Jack Welch’s view of business managementC. development history of GE companyD. courses taught in business schoolsTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.From: Linda SmithTo: Clarice RyanSubject: Report on Employees’ Use of Time Clarice, I agree that waste of work time is aserious 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 eachother 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.Time Spent on Non-work-related Activities Activities MenWomen 1. Going online 85% 83%55% 80%2. Making personalphone calls3.

为了帮助学生更好地应对考试，下面将提供一些真题及其详细的解析，以期提高学生的。

Part 1 - 阅读理解Passage 1:A recent study conducted by the University of Oxford revealed that reading can have a significant impact on a person's intellectual development. The study followed a group of children from infancy to adolescence, tracking their reading habits and their cognitive abilities.The study found that children who read regularly not only had better reading skills, but also had higher IQ scores compared to those who rarely read. Moreover, the study revealed that children who engaged in frequent reading had better critical thinking abilities and a broader vocabulary.The findings of this study highlight the importance of developing a reading habit from an early age. Reading not only enriches one's knowledge, but also improves cognitive skills, which are crucial for success in school and beyond.Passage 2:In recent years, there has been a growing interest in learning English as a second language in China. Many Chinese students are now taking English courses to improve their language skills and enhance their career prospects.However, simply attending English classes may not be enough to develop a high level of English proficiency. It is essential for students to actively engage in English language activities outside the classroom, such as reading English books, watching English movies, and practicing speaking with native speakers.By immersing themselves in English-language environments, students can improve their listening and speaking skills, as well as gain a deeper understanding of English grammar and vocabulary. Additionally, interacting with native speakers allows students to learn authentic expressions and idioms, which are essential for effective communication.Part 2 - 语法填空1.

Firstly, it expands one's cultural horizons, allowing individuals to connect with people from different backgrounds and understand different perspectives. This not only fosters tolerance and empathy but also enhances intercultural communication skills.From a professional standpoint, being bilingual or multilingual opens up a wide range of career opportunities.In today's globalized world, many companies are actively seeking employees who can speak multiple languages and navigate diverse cultural environments. Furthermore, learning a second language can boost cognitive abilities, improve memory, and enhance problem-solving skills.In conclusion, developing strong English language skills is essential for success in the modern world. By actively engaging in reading, listening, speaking, and writing activities, students can improve their English proficiency and increase their chances of academic and professional success.。

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 man 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 full-time hours seeking a job.Networking ( 人际联系)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.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to45.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 “push” and “pull”. You’re either pushing an employee 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, on 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 “push” (Para.2) to mean the force that _______.A. makes employees satisfied with their workB. drives employees to work more efficientlyC. causes employees to leave their companyD. keep employees to remain in their company42.

Meet with them every day.C. Pay regular visits to their familyD. Make sure they are well-treated.45.

No one has to stay awake to watch over the spacecraft; the craft’s computers call us on the radio.On the spacecraft, sleep-time doesn’t mean nighttime. During each ninety-minutes, then it “set” as the spacecraft takes us around the dark side of the Earth. T o keep the sun out of our eyes, we wear black sleep masks.It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space. Every astronaut(宇航员) sleep differently: some sleepupside down, some sideways, and so me right side up. When it’s time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask and my tape player with earphones and float(漂浮) up to the flight deck(驾驶舱) .
