31、cil. (40 points)Text lTight-lipped elders used to say, “Its not what you want in this world, but what you get.”Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, an

32、d each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served.Likewise, if you want to

33、 find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services.This account of yourself is actually a sketch of your working life

34、 and should include education, experience and references. Such an account is valuable. It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. While talking to you, your could-be employer is deciding whether your “wares” and abilities must be

35、 displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner.When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell. Then you are ready to hunt for a job. Get all the possible information about your could-be job. Make inquiries as to the details r

36、egarding the job and the firm. Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment. Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Securing a job is your job now.51.What do the elders mean when they say, “Its not what you want in this world, but wh

37、at you get.”?A Youll certainly get what you want.B Its no use dreaming.C You should be dissatisfied with what you have.（B）D Its essential to set a goal for yourself.52.A blueprint made before inviting a friend to dinner is used in this passage as _.A an illustration of how to write an application fo

38、r a jobB an indication of how to secure a good jobC a guideline for job description（A）D a principle for job evaluation53.According to the passage, one must write an account of himself before starting to find a job because _.A that is the first step to please the employerB that is the requirement of

40、ntText 2With the start of BBC World Service Television, millions of viewers in Asia and America can now watch the Corporations news coverage, as well as listen to it. And of course in Britain listeners and viewers can tune in to two BBC television channels, five BBC national radio services and dozen

41、s of local radio station. They are brought sport, comedy, drama, music, news and current affairs, education, religion, parliamentary coverage, childrens programmes and films for an annual license fee of 83 pounds per household.It is a remarkable record, stretching back over 70 years - yet the BBCs f

42、uture is now in doubt. The Corporation will survive as a publicly-funded broadcasting organization, at least for the time being, but its role, its size and its programmes are now the subject of a nation-wide debate in Britain.The debate was launched by the Government, which invited anyone with an op

43、inion of the BBC - including ordinary listeners and viewers - to say what was good or bad about the Corporation, and even whether they thought it was worth keeping. The reason for its inquiry is that the BBCs royal charter runs out in 1996 and it must decide whether to keep the organization as it is

44、, or to make changes.Defenders of the Corporation - of whom there are many - are fond of quoting the American slogan “If it aint broke, dont fix it.” The BBC “aint broke,” they say, by which they mean it is not broken (as distinct from the word broke, meaning having no money), so why bother to chang

45、e it?Yet the BBC will have to change, because the broadcasting world around it is changing. The commercial TV channels - TV and Channel 4 - were required by the Thatcher Governments Broadcasting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other for advertisers, and cutting costs and jobs. But

46、 it is the arrival of new satellite channels - funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers subscriptions - which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term.55.The world famous BBC now faces _.A the problem of new coverageB an uncertain prospectC inquiries by the general public（B）D

47、shrinkage of audience56.In the passage, which of the following about the BBC is NOT mentioned as the key issue?A Extension of its TV service to Far East.B Programmes as the subject of a nation-wide debate.C Potentials for further international co-operations.（C）D Its existence as a broadcasting organ

48、ization.57.The BBCs “royal charter” (Line 4, Paragraph 3) stands for _.A the financial support from the royal familyB the privileges granted by the QueenC a contract with the Queen（C）D a unique relationship with the royal family58.The foremost reason why the BBC has to readjust itself is no other th

49、an _.A the emergence of commercial TV channelsB the enforcement of Broadcasting Act by the governmentC the urgent necessity to reduce costs and jobs（D）D the challenge of new satellite channelsText 3In the last half of the nineteenth century “capital” and “labour” were enlarging and perfecting their

50、rival organizations on modern lines. Many an old firm was replaced by a limited liability company with a bureaucracy of salaried managers. The change met the technical requirements of the new age by engaging a large professional element and prevented the decline in efficiency that so commonly spoile

51、d the fortunes of family firms in the second and third generation after the energetic founders. It was moreover a step away from individual initiative, towards collectivism and municipal and state-owned business. The railway companies, though still private business managed for the benefit of shareho

52、lders, were very unlike old family business. At the same time the great municipalities went into business to supply lighting, trams and other services to the taxpayers.The growth of the limited liability company and municipal business had important consequences. Such large, impersonal manipulation o

53、f capital and industry greatly increased the numbers and importance of shareholders as a class, an element in national life representing irresponsible wealth detached from the land and the duties of the landowners; and almost equally detached from the responsible management of business. All through

54、the nineteenth century, America, Africa, India, Australia and parts of Europe were being developed by British capital, and British shareholders were thus enriched by the worlds movement towards industrialization. Towns like Bournemouth and Eastbourne sprang up to house large “comfortable” classes wh

55、o had retired on their incomes, and who had no relation to the rest of the community except that of drawing dividends and occasionally attending a shareholders meeting to dictate their orders to the management. On the other hand “shareholding” meant leisure and freedom which was used by many of the

56、later Victorians for the highest purpose of a great civilization.The “shareholders” as such had no knowledge of the lives, thoughts or needs of the workmen employed by the company in which he held shares, and his influence on the relations of capital and labour was not good. The paid manager acting

57、for the company was in more direct relation with the men and their demands, but even he had seldom that familiar personal knowledge of the workmen which the employer had often had under the more patriarchal system of the old family business now passing away. Indeed the mere size of operations and th

58、e numbers of workmen involved rendered such personal relations impossible. Fortunately, however, the increasing power and organization of the trade unions, at least in all skilled trades, enabled the workmen to meet on equal terms the managers of the companies who employed them. The cruel discipline

59、 of the strike and lockout taught the two parties to respect each others strength and understand the value of fair negotiation.59.Its true of the old family firms that _.A they were spoiled by the younger generationsB they failed for lack of individual initiativeC they lacked efficiency compared wit

60、h modern companies（C）D they could supply adequate services to the taxpayers60.The growth of limited liability companies resulted in _.A the separation of capital from managementB the ownership of capital by managersC the emergence of capital and labour as two classes（A）D the participation of shareho
