33、lections of fairy tales are the ones by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. The Grimms published their first fairy-tale collection in 1812. They didnt think they were writing for children. They thought they were preserving disappearing German folk culture. Their first edition (版本) was a scholarly book that car

34、efully recorded the oral tales. They were surprised when some of their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to children.But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm complaine

35、d there wasnt a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it would break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children. He selected a few of the tales, made them much longer, and polished up the language. He didnt add morals, but he did slip in ch

36、aracter judgments and moralizing comments wherever he could.The Grimms fairy tales also have one characteristic that would seem to make them unsuitable for children. Many of them include violent incidents. In “Hansel and Gretel” an old woman is burned to death in an oven, and in “Little Red Riding H

37、ood” a child is eaten by a wolf. When he revised the tales for children, Wilhelm Grimm retained the violence. In fact, he sometimes even ramped it up. For example, in the first edition, the one intended for children, that her birds peck(啄)out their eyes.Why, then, have the Grimms fairy tales become

38、classic of childrens literature, so much so that it is hard to imagine a child who doesnt know Cinderellas story or Snow Whites?One answer is that only a few of the tales survived into modern times. The first edition of the Grimms fairy tales had 210 tales. By 1825 it was down to 50. And taday only

39、a dozen or so of the tales are often reprinted in childrens collections.

44、 1979. It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before. Or are they? A management consultant, Bill Meyer, decided to find out. For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday. At the end of the three-

45、day period, Meyer reviewed the bankers activities with him. What did they find out? They discovered that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing unnecessary work. For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made redundant telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefc

46、ases. Apparently, many people believe that the more time a person spends at work. the more he or she accomplishes. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job e

47、ffectively during a regular 40-hour work week, they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.A group of headhunters were asked their opinion about a situation. They had a choice of two candidates for an executive positio

48、n with an important company. The candidates had similar qualifications for the job. For example, they were both reliable. One could do the job well in a 40-hour work week. The other would do the same job in an 80-hour work week just as well. According to a headhunting expert, the 80-hour-a-week cand

49、idate would get the job. The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend more time at work, too. Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.However, the connection between time and productivity (生产率) is not always posit

50、ive. In fact, many studies indicate that after a certain point, anyones productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Some employees are not willing to spend so much extra, unproductive time at the office. Once they finish their work satisfactorily, they want to relax and enjoy themselves. For thes

51、e people, the solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.1. What is the main idea of this passage? DA. People can make more money by working longer hours.B.

52、er.D. Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.2. The management consultant wanted to find out _.
