7、 think its time that smoking was forbidden once and for all in all offices.1st man: I agree entirely. And I think the management should be firm on this. It should be abolished on the firms premises.2nd woman: Now wait a minute. I cant say I share your views on that. The staff should be asked to vote

8、 first.2nd man: Now, thats just what I was thinking. We dont live in a dictatorship, you know. I think grown people should be allowed to decide for themselves if they want to smoke or not.3rd man: Maybe, but dont you think non-smokers health can suffer if the smokers are allowed to continue?3rd woma

9、n: Quite right, I couldnt agree more. And it might also be a way of educating people to live and work in a more healthy fashion. Conversation 2 1st man: You know what, I think all companies should offer their employees free lunches.1st woman: Quite right, I couldnt agree more with that. After all if

10、 we have to work here all day and have no time to go home in the lunch hour its only fair.2nd man: I can see what you mean. But what happens if the canteen food doesnt suit you?

The company made very high profits last year They can afford it.4tb man: I couldnt agree more. They could offer a wide variety of dishes to suit all tastes. It would be only

12、fair.3rd woman: Hm, I see things rather differently myself. I would like my lunch hour left to myself to decide where and what I eat.

13、d mean that lots of extra jobs could be created.2nd man: Well, my opinion, for what its worth, is that the employers are not prepared to take on additional staff.

In my experience you get work done far more efficiently if you allow employees to work at their own pace.2nd woman: Now, thats just what I was thinking. The important thing is to allow each

They do a better job that way.3rd woman: I can see what you mean, hut my experience shows that only certain employees can be left entirely alone. The rest need watching closely or else they waste the firms rime

19、. And they ate here to work after all.3rd man: Maybe, but dont you think, there is a limit to how closely we should watch our staff?

25、ant to get more out of their white- collar workforce will be in for a shock if they seek advice from Frank Becker, a professor at Cornell University who studies the pattern of office work. His advice: companies need to devote more office space to creating places like well-tended living rooms, where

26、employees can sit around in comfort and chat. Mr Becker is one of a group of academics and consultants trying to make companies more productive by linking new office technology to a better understanding of how employees work. The forecasts of a decade ago - that computers would in- crease office pro

32、youts and designs. The companys research centre in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is a $1 lm building completed in 1989. It is designed around a series of office neighbourhoods that put market- ing, manufacturing and design people close to each other so that they can find it easier to discuss ideas and sol

33、ve problems. Employees on different floors can see one another through glass, and easily go from floor to floor via escalator.
