1 Oliver Hoppe has been working at Hoopers and Henderson accountancy practice for eighteen months. He feels that
he fits in well, especially with his colleagues and has learnt a lot from them. However, he feels that the rules and
regulations governing everyday activities and time keeping are not clear.
Oliver does not get on well with his line manager, David Morgan. There appears to be a clash of personalities and
reluctance on David Morgan’s part to deal with the icy atmosphere between them after David was asked by one of
the accounting partners to give Oliver a job. For the past three months Oliver has gone to lunch with his fellow workers
and always returned to work with them or before them. In fact they all have returned to work about ten minutes late
on several previous occasions. After the third time, Oliver was called into David Morgan’s office and given an oral
warning about his time keeping.
Oliver was not permitted to argue his case and none of the other staff who returned late were disciplined in this way.
On the next occasion the group was late returning from lunch, David Morgan presented Oliver with a written warning
about his time keeping.
Yesterday, Oliver was five minutes late returning to work. His colleagues returned after him. David Morgan gave Oliver
notice and told him to work until the end of the week and then collect his salary, the necessary paperwork and to
leave the practice.
There is a partner responsible for human resources. Oliver has come to see the partner to discuss the grievance
procedures against David Morgan for his treatment and about what Oliver regards as unfair dismissal.
Required:
(a) Describe the six stages of a formal disciplinary procedure that an organisation such as Hoopers and
Henderson should have in place. (12 marks)

第2题：
To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your students; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under you control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear. Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not move motionless before his class; he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanation, and his face to express his feeling. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher's word and the actor's. The actor has to speak words which has been learnt by heart, he has

问答题Practice 1 Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. (1) It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. (2) But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.正确答案：
(1) 在他的生活里,不可能再有得到这么多而无需付出和回报的时候了。
(2) 但是孩子也有自己的痛苦:他没有做自己想做的事的自由,人们总是告诉他不能做什么,或者为他做的错事惩罚他。解析： 暂无解析 -

第二篇
As we have seen,the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease一especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors,such as poor eating habits,smoking,and failure to exercise.The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight , but does not eat very nutritious（有营养的）foods , who feels OK but exercises only occasionally , who goes to work every day , but is not an outstanding worker,who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts,but sleeps a lot and often feels tired.This person is not ill.He may not even be at risk for any particular disease.But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely "not ill" and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body's special needs.Both types have simply been called "well".In recent years,however,some health specialists have begun to apply the terms "well" and "weilness" only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their body's condition.Most importantly,perhaps,people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health.Even people who have a physical disease or handicap（缺陷）may be "well" ,in this new sense,if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations."Wellness" may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve,but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes.And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living,the concept of weilness can have a beneficial impact on the way in which people face the challenges of daily life.According to the second paragraph about the traditional care,which statement is true?
A:if the person does not have' any unhealthy living habits,he is considered "well".
B:If the person does not have any psychological disease,he is considererd "well".
C:If the person could be able to handle his daily routines,he is considererd "well".
D:If the nerson could be free from any kind of disease.he is considererd "well".答案：D解析：细节题。根据第一段第一句“…the focus of medical care in our society has been-shifting from curing disease to preventing disease一especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors...”可知，今天医疗保健的焦点已经从疾病治疗转移到疾病预防上来，尤其体现在改变我们不健康的行为上。因此，选项C“改变人们不良的生活习惯”与文章相符。
主旨题。由第一段倒数三句“This person is not ill.He may not even be at risk for any particular disease.But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.”可知，这个人虽然有一些不良习惯和不适的症状，但是没有患病，甚至也没有患病的风险，然而，我们可以想象这个人本来可以更健康。由此可知，选项A“健康不仅仅是没有病”符合文意。
推断题。根据第二段第一、二句“The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely'not ill'and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body's special needs.Both types have simply been called 'well'.”可知，传统上，医学界把没病的人和十分健康的人都称作“身体良好的人”。因此，选项D“没病就是身体良好”符合文意。
细节题。根据第二段的倒数第三句“'Weilness' may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve,but as an ideal than people can strive for.”可知，“健康”并不是我们可能获得的一种健康的状态，而是一种我们要努力争取的理念。因此选项B 符合题意。
主旨题。文章第一段提出医疗保健的焦点由疾病治疗转到疾病预防；第二段首先阐述了传统医疗保健观点和现在医疗保健观点对健康的定义，之后依据现在医疗保健观点给健康作出了更积极的定义，可见选项C符合题意。选项A"旨在批判医疗保健的传统观点”是对原文的曲解，原文只是提出新的观点，并没有批驳传统的医疗保健；选项B"旨在对比传统和现在医疗保健观、点的不同”不是本文的写作目的，比较的目的在于强调现在的医疗观；选项D"旨在告诉我们医疗保健的重要性”文中并未提及。 -
