Theory X is the idea that people instinctively ___21___ work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evidence to the ___22___, many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, _____23_____, that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from ___24___ without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.Different cultures have different ways of ___25___ people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making — all members of the department or work group are asked to ___26___ to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general___27___. Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional ___28___ managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without ___29___ managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towardsdownsizing:___30___ the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be ___31___ with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has ___32___ been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to ___33___ that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.Another trend is off-site or ___34___ management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internetwork on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the ___35___ of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.21. A. desire B. seek C. lose D. dislike22.

First of all, it is now easier to ___39___ an object than to spend time and money to repair it. ___40___ modern manufacturing(制造业)and technology, companies are able to produce products quickly and inexpensively.

Companies ___45___ thousands of different kinds of disposable products:paper plates, plastic cups, and cameras, to name a few.Our appetite for new products also ___46___ to the problem. We are ___47___ buying new things. Advertisements persuade us that ___48___ is better and that we will be happier with the latest products. The result is that we ___49___ useful possessions to make room for new ones.All around the world, we can see the ___50___ of this throwaway lifestyle. Mountains of rubbish just keep getting bigger.

However, life can be ___56___ when you are not busy finding fault with it.Several years ago I ___57___ a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class,fault-finder, almost always ___58___ by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and ___59___ was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really___60___ person.Unfortunately it took a horrible accident to change her ___61___. Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost ___62___ to deal with was that the day before the ___63___, Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her ___64___ of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to ___65___. It wasn’t until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became ___66___ her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to ___67___ everything so harshly(刻薄). She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her ___68___ as well.Perhaps most of us aren’t as extreme at fault-finding, ___69___ when we’re honest, we can be sharply___70___ of the world. I’m not suggesting you ___71___ problems, or that you pretend things are ___72___ than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are — ___73___ most of the time, and especially when it’s not a really big ___74___.Train yourself to "bite your tongue", and with a little ___75___, you’ll get really good at letting things go.
