Lifetime Employment in Japanese Companies
In most large Japanese companies,there is a policy of lifetime employment.What this means is that when people leave school or university to join an enterprise,they can expect to remain with that organization until they retire.In effect,the employee gets job security for life,and can only be fired for serious mistakes in work.Even in times of business recession,he or she is free from the fear of being laid off.
One result of this practice is that the Japanese worker identifies closely with his company and feels strong loyalty to it.By working hard for the company,he believes he is safeguarding his own future.It is not surprising that devotion to one's company is considered a great virtue in Japan.A man is often prepared to put his firm's interests before those of his immediate family.
The job security guaranteed by this system influences the way employees approach their work.They tend to think in terms of what they can achieve throughout their career.This is because they are not judged on how they are performing during a short period of time.They can afford to take a longer perspective than their western counterparts.
This marriage between the employee and the company-the consequence of lifetime employment-may explain why Japanese workers seem positively to love the products their company is producing and why they are willing to stay on after work,for little overtime pay,to participate in earnest discussions about the quality control of their products.The Japanese worker is fond of his company's product because of the close link between him and his company.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：由第一段第三句“In effect , the employee gets job security for life , and can only be fired forserious mistakes in work.”可知，员工如果在工作中犯严重错误，就会被辞退，可见日本的终身雇佣制并非意味着员工可以在工作中犯严重错误。
根据第二段第四句可知，日本员工时刻准备着把公司的利益放在他的直系亲属的利益的前面。由此可知，日本员工把公司利益看得比家庭利益重要。
根据第二段第二句“By working hard for the company , he believes he is safeguarding hisown future.”可知，日本员工通过努力工作来保证他自己能够有个好未来。
根据第三段第一、四句可知，终身雇佣制会影响员工的职业选择，与西方国家的员工相比，他们在选择职业方面的目光更长远。
根据第四段可知，终身雇佣制使日本员工与公司关系亲密，这也使他们比较喜爱自己公司的产品。
本篇文章只在第四段提到了日本公司的产品，指出日本员工比较喜爱他们公司的产品，并在结尾处讲到，尽管加班费不多，日本员工也常常加班讨论产品质量的控制，可没有提到他们的产品是否物美价廉。
本篇文章主要介绍了日本的终身雇佣制以及终身雇佣制对员工的影响，而非对终身雇佣制的评价。 -

第13题：
PPHC and Gooseneck are two organizations that do similar community work. Each has hired a new staff member to make contact with and provide services to new parents.
Elaine has accepted a job with PPHC. She has a degree in psychology but has never done this type of work before. On her first day, after showing her to her desk and introducing her to colleagues, the director gives her a town map and a list of the names of the families she will be responsible for, and wishes her luck. After lunch, Elaine sets out to contact the families, worried about what she'll do or say when she meets them.
Mark has a degree similar to Elaine's, and has just been hired by Gooseneck. On his first day, he learns that his job will consist of training for the next week. Mark spends two days going on family visits with experienced staff members, and discusses with them what they did and why. He role-plays some situations with other staff members, and gets some direct instruction from them. By the following week, when he's on his own, he feels he has a pretty good idea of what he needs to do, and how to go about it. And he knows that his training will continue.

Passage One
One of the well-known of American writers is Samuel Clemens, whose pen name is Mark Twain. Bom in 1835, Twain grew up in the Mississippi River town of Hannibal, Missouri. As did many other boys of his day,
Twain dreamed of traveling on river boats and of someday becoming a riverboat pilot. Twain used his memories of the life of a river town in his two most famous books, Huckleberry Finn and Torn Sawyer.
As a young man, Twain held many jobs. He was a printer, a good miner, and, for a time, he was a riverboat pilot. During his pilot days, he adopted the name Mark Twain. This was a term used by the boatmen to mean that the water measured two fathoms, or twelve feet, which was deep enough for safe passage.
Finally Twain became a successful writer. He traveled a great deal, writing and speaking, and became very popular both in the United States and in Europe.
Twain's style. of writing was simple and direct. Among the things he wrote about were superstitious (迷信的) people and people who were easily fooled. He used his unusual gift for humor to write about many things of importance.
36. Generally speaking, this article is about______.
A. a riverboat pilot
B. a printer
C. a gold miner
D. a famous writer
正确答案：D这篇文章讲的是Mark Twain的故事，他是美国著名的作家。参见第一句。

Which of the following is TRUE about Socrates’s life？( )A.The legend of his wife is well-grounded.
B.He never thought he was the wisest man in Greece.
C.His intellectual powers come from various doctrines.
D.He was titled the wisest man due to his awareness of ignorance.答案：B解析：细节题。由题干关键词Socrates’s life可定位到文章第一段。由该段倒数第一句“在那次演讲中，苏格拉底坚称，他对这种称呼感到困惑。尽管其他人没有意识到自己在无知的情况下宣称自己有学问，苏格拉底至少意识到了自己的无知”可知，B项“他从来不认为自己是希腊最聪明的人”为正确答案。A项“他妻子的传说是有根据的”与该段第二句“尽管这些故事几乎没有确凿的事实依据”不符。该段提到苏格拉底熟悉巴门尼德、赫拉克利特和阿纳萨戈尔等的学说，但并不意味着苏格拉底的学说来自不同的学说，故C项错误。D项“因他认识到自己的无知而被选为最聪明的人”与原文表述不符。 -

问答题Practice 2 President Bill Clinton's My Wife shows US the progress of a remarkable American, who, through his own enormous energies and efforts, made the unlikely journey from Hope, Arkansas, to the White House—a journey fueled by an impassioned interest in the political process which manifested itself at every stage of his life：in college, working as an intern for Senator William Fulbright; at Oxford, becoming part of the Vietnam War protest movement；at Yale Law School, campaigning on the grassroots level for Democratic candidates；back in Arkansas, running for Congress, attorney general, and governor. We see his career shaped by his resolute determination to improve the life of his fellow citizens, all unfaltering commitment to civil rights, and an exceptional Understanding of the practicalities of political life. We come to understand the emotional pressures of his youth—born after his Father's death；caught in the dysfunctional relationship between his feisty, nurturing mother and his abusive stepfather, whom he never ceased to love and whose name he took；drawn to the brilliant, compelling Hillary Rodham, whom he was determined to marry；passionately devoted, from her infancy, to their daughter, Chelsea, and to the entire。Experience of fatherhood; slowly and painfully beginning to comprehend how his early denial of pain led him at times into damaging patterns of behavior.正确答案： 【参考译文】
克林顿总统的《我的生活》一书揭示的是一个出类拔萃的美国人的成长历程,他通过自己的巨大能力和努力,走完了从阿肯色州荷普市通往白宫的这一看起来不大可能完成的历程。在此历程中,他对政治仕途充满了激情,这在他人生的每一个阶段都显露无遗:上大学时,他作为实习生为威廉·富布赖特参议员工作;在牛津大学,他参加了反对越战的抗议运动;在耶鲁大学法学院,他在基层为民主党总统候选人助选;毕业后回到阿肯色州,他先后竞选国会议员、州检察长和州长。
我们看到他的政治生涯的形成靠的是他为改善同胞生活的坚定不移的决心,致力于民权的毫不动摇的意志,以及对政治生活实际状况不同凡响的解读。
我们了解到他青少年时代在感情上所承受的压力:他是一个遗腹子;童年时代饱受家庭失和之苦:母亲脾气暴躁,但对他关爱备至,而继父动辄恶语相加,但他一直爱着他的继父且随了继父的姓氏;他被聪明绝顶、令人心仪的希拉里·罗德汉姆所吸引,决心要娶她为妻;他对他俩的女儿切尔西从小到大始终充满了父爱;他开始慢慢地、痛苦地意识到他早年拒不承认所受的痛苦有时导致他做出有损人格的错事。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 2 Henry Ford did not invent the automobile, but he was the first man to mass-produce it, and this made it available to the ordinary man. Many automobiles were being built by the hand at the turn of the century and were much too expensive for all but the wealthy. In 1903 Henry Ford's first mass-produced Model T cars cost $850. By the early 1920s he was able to reduce the price, to $350. Between 1903 and 1927 Ford manufactured 15 million Model T Fords and earned a profit of $700 million. In 1927 he produced his sedan Model A, which was much more comfortable than the open, windswept Model T. Henry Ford was himself a born mechanic and could build a car with his own hands. So he respected his workers and treated them well. In 1914, when the basic wage for an industrial worker in Detroit was $11 a week, Ford announced that he would pay his Workers $5 a day. Ford believed in the dignity of work, and did not wish his men to become underpaid robots. He also built them a special town on the outskirts of the city.正确答案： 【参考译文】
汽车不是亨利·福特发明的,但他却是使用机器大量生产汽车的第一人,从而使普通老百姓也能拥有汽车。在20世纪初,许多汽车是手工制造的,对于除富人以外的所有其他人来说,其价格实在太贵。1903年,亨利·福特第一批大量生产的T型汽车每辆卖850美元。到20世纪20年代初,他却能把价格降到350美元。1903年至l927年期间,福特制造了1500万辆T型福特车,赚取7亿美元的利润。1927年,福特生产出A型轿车,比敞篷式不挡风的T型车舒服得多。
亨利·福特是天生的汽车机修师,他能用双手造出汽车。所以他尊重工人,并善待他们。1914年,底特律产业工人的基本工资是每周11美元,而福特却宣布他给工人的报酬是每天5美元。他信奉工作是高尚的,不希望他的工人沦为收入低下的苦力。他还在底特律郊区专门为他们建造了一个镇子。 解析： 暂无解析 -
