29、y was the introduction of the Alhambra desking range.答案:BRule Number One: Clear that desk RULE NUMBER ONE: CLEAR THAT DESK If your desk is piled high with letters, faxes, forms, memos, reports, print-outs and sticky-backed message slips, you might believe all this paperwork is a sign of how busy you

30、 are. But according to Declan Treacy, cluttered desks lead to lost information, distractions, missed opportu- nities, high stress and not a little procrasti- nation. He founded and runs the Clear Your Desk Organisation and organises the annual International Clear Your Desk Day which this year is bei

31、ng held on April 24. His arguments for uncluttered desks are strong. We pile between 300 and 500 pieces of paper on the desk at any one time, a load equivalent to a 40-hour backlog of work. With 45 minutes a day wasted on frustrating searches for lost paperwork on and around the desk, it is unfortun

32、ate that the cluttered desk is the accepted norm in most organisations, he says. Treacy holds seminars to help companies organise their own Clear Your Desk days, when everyone from the senior managers to secretaries learn how to tackle paperwork more effectively. Paper has become the foundation on w

33、hich our organisations are built and at the beginning of the 1990s office workers around the world were using more than 15 million miles of paper every day. Over two billion business letters are posted daily worldwide. In the US, companies have over 300 billion pieces of paper on file. While a large

34、 proportion of this paper- work is important, we have reached a situation where most organisations, both public and private, are suffocating under mountains of unwanted paper. The average British worker boards 40 hours of unfinished paperwork at any one time; each piece of paper on the desk will dis

35、tract us up to five times a day; 68 per cent of office workers admit to habitually handling paperwork several thnes before deciding what to do with it; worldwide, computer printers produce over two and a half million pieces of paper every minute: 60 million photocopies are made every hour: 30 billio

36、n faxes are sent every year; and we hoard an average 20,000 pieces of paper in the office. So what is someone to do if they have what looks like the EU paper mountain on their desk? Dump it in the bin? Well, yes, says Treacy. Or rather, he suggests following four simple rules, and dumping the stuff

37、is number four. Rule number three is file it. Number two suggests passing it to someone else; number one is the rule no one will like: act on it. What you shouldnt do is add to the pile of paper thats already there, says Treacy: Eighty per cent of all paperwork is eventually discarded, but it causes

38、 an awful lot of trouble before that happens. Unfortunately, most executives believe the myth that an empty desk is the sign of an unproductive mind. How wrong can you be? Companies cannot afford to let people work from cluttered desks. Hours of valuable time are wasted in searching for vital pieces

39、 of paper, and in being distracted by the constant stream of faxes. memos and reports which land in our in-trays when we should be devoting time to more important work. And what is Treacys desk like? Perfectly clear, of course. Susan Pape 1. According to Declan Treacy, an untidy desk is _ a sign of

Treacys four rules for clearing your desk of papers are: 1._ on it. 2._ it on to someone else. 3._ it. 4._ it away.

42、 答案:Act Pass File ThrowThe passive问题:1. Study the examples and the explanation which follows. In the examples above we see that the difference in focus between each of the pairs of sentences is fairly straightforward. So what is the passive used for? Using the passive We use the passive in English i

43、f we dont want to draw attention to the person who is responsible for a particular action or process. Indeed, the passive is very useful when you want to emphasize the object to which the action or process is happening rather than the person carrying out the action. So we can say: The passive is use

44、d in English to focus on the action. Here it is the process or use of the passive we are interested in and not who is carrying out the process or using the passive (i.e. speakers of English). Consider some further examples: Company targets are set every year. The factory was set up in 1985. In these

45、 sentences, were focusing on the company targets or the factory and were probably more interested in when the actions happened than in who carried them out. We can of course leave in who is doing the action. We do this by adding by. For example: Production targets were met by the workforce. The focu

46、s is on the production targets, but at the same time we mention who they were met by, without emphasizing it. 答案:Hopefully, you noticed that the wh- questions require answers with the passive and the yes/no questions those with the active. The passive emphasizes more what is affected, while the acti

47、ve lays the stress on the person who is involved in the action. 1b 2a 3f 4e 5d 6c Rewrite each sentence, starting with the words given, so that it means the same as the preceding sentence.问题:1.
