考题 It is often said that politeness costs nothing. In fact，it seems that a little more politeness could save businesses ￡5 billion every year. Frequently hearing the phrase“thank you”or“well done”means the same to staff as a modest pay rise.Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs. In this way the business companies can save the cost of finding new employees. A third of 1,000 workers surveyed by a consulting firm said they did not get thanked at all when they did well-and a further third said they were not thanked enough. In both cases. staff said they felt undervalued，meaning they were less likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere.The result of the survey shows that there would be around ￡5.2 billion loss in productivity if the employees felt less appreciated. According to the firm，praising staff has the same positive effect as a 1 per cent pay rise-and works out much cheaper for bosses. Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their bosses was important to them，but only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed.The survey found that those in blue-collar and manual jobs were less likely to be given any recognition for doing well. But it seems that they most need such praise.In regional terms，Scottish staff felt most undervalued. Four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise. However. workers in the North-East are less impressed by being praised by the boss，as only 69 per cent said they felt the need to be told“well done”regularly. Older employees and women need the most reassurance，according to psychologist Averil Leimon. She said that words of praise did more than creating a pleasant place to work-they could even promote profits.The survey indicates that politeness could save businesses a huge amount of money every year because______.A．politeness makes employees expect pay riseB．politeness is less likely to make staff work harderC．politeness helps employers find proper employeesD．politeness helps employers reduce the cost of staff employment

考题 根据下列内容，回答181-185题。 For the first century or so of the Industrial Revolution, increased productivity led to decreasesin working hours. A generation ago social planners worried about what people would do with all thisnew-found free time. In the US, at least, it seems they need not have bothered. Although the output per hour of work has more than doubled since 1945, leisure (freetime)seems reserved largely for the unemployed. Those who work full-time spend as much time on thejob as they did at the end of World War II. In fact, working hours have increased noticeably since1970. There are several reasons for lost leisure. Since 1979,companies have responded toimprovements in the business climate by having employees work overtime rather than by hiringextra personnel. Most increased production doesn't relate to the employment. Some firms are evendownsizing as their profits climb. It's more profitable to ask 40 employees to labor an extra houreach than to hire one more worker to do the same 40-hour job. Although employees complain about long hours, they, too, have reasons not to trade moneyfor leisure. People who work reduced hours pay a huge price in career terms. It's taken as anegative (负面的 ) signal about their commitment to the firm. Many managers find it difficult tomeasure the contribution of their staff to a firm's well-being, so they use the number of workinghours instead of the output to evaluate the employees. Well aware of this, employees adjust theirbehavior accordingly. It may take some time before workers can successfully trade increased productivity and moneyfor leisure time. The reality is that the U.S. market for goods has focused on fulltime, two-careerhouseholds. Car makers no longer produce cheap models, and developers do not build the tinybungalows that served the first postwar generation of house seekers. In a word, in U.S., goods are appropriate only for high incomes and long hours. What was the result of the industrial revolution?__________A.Less working time. B.More unemployment. C.Fewer factories. D.More jobs.

考题 资料：It’s almost considered sacrilegious today to leave work at the end of your workday or（for shame！）on a Friday and simply not check your work email again until you return the office during normal working hours。 The constant need to check email is the trade-off the modern workforce has made for the ability to work anytime，anywhere，hanks to smartphones and tablets that keep us always connected。 But three university researchers have found that it’s not just doing a bit of work after hours that cause burnout。The true culprit is actually the constant worrying about off-hour email。 A new study。“Exhausted But Unable to Disconnect，”by Lehigh University’s Liuba Belkin，Virginia Tech’s William Becker and Colorado State University's Samantha Conroy shows that employees are growing exhausted by the expectation that they will always be available，never knowing what kind of work requests will be asked of them off hours。 Typically，companies don’t mean to stress employees out like that。Most companies don't have formal policies that say people must answer work emails after-hours，（except，perhaps，in cases where an employee is on call during specific times）。 But policies and culture tend to be two different things。If supervisors routinely email employees after hours and expect a fast response （often because their supervisors are doing the same to them），then the message is clear: whenever the boss emails，the employee is expected to be available。 The solution is for bosses to tell employees that an after-hours email doesn’t necessarily require a response before the next work day，and to also set some times when after-hours emailing is considered acceptable and prohibited，such as no emails via the dinner hour，on weekends，or after 10 p.m.，the researchers say。 What is true about the policy and the culture？ A.They are inconsistent about the attitude toward after hours emails. B.They both push the employees to be available all the time. C.They are consistent about the attitude towards after hours emails. D.They both don’t mean to stress the employees out.

考题 资料：Placing the right type of workers in close proximity to each other can generate up to a 15 percent increase in organizational performance，according to the study from Cornerstone On Demand，a provider of cloud-based learning and talent-management software，and researchers at Harvard Business School in Massachusetts. For businesses with 2，000 employees, this translates into an additional $1 million in profit each year，the study said. For the study，researchers examined data from a two-year period of more than 2，000 employees working at a large technology company with locations in the U.S. and Europe. The study’s authors separated workers into three different categories based on the work they produced： Productive： These employees are very productive，but don’t always produce quality work. Quality：These workers produce work of superior quality，but aren’t always productive. Generalists： These employees are average in terms of both productivity and quality. The researchers defined productivity by how long it takes an employee to finish a task，and effectiveness by how often employees need to ask a co-worker for help completing a task. What’s the main idea about the first paragraph？A.Cornerstone On Demand is a provider of cloud-based learning and talent-management software B.Placing the right type of workers together will generate 15% increase in performance C.Smarter seating can affect company’s performance D.A study about how a firm get additional profit
