Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.

Awkward! Nine sticky work situations and how to fix them Dealing with weirdness in the office is never easy, but it's

essential to running a successful company. As an entrepreneur, you'll

run into sticky situations among employees that get in the way of

productivity.

"Human resources problems that get ignored have a really nasty

habit of not going away," says Margaret Hart Edwards, a shareholder

at employment law firm Littler Mendelson.

Never fear: The experts are here to offer their advice for handling

nine sticky HR situations that might otherwise leave you floored and

fumbling.

1. Two employees start dating or break up

Forty-six percent of employees have been involved in an office romance, according to Vault's 2008 Office Romance Survey. But office relationships can create all sorts of awkward moral problems for employers, as well as legal dangers, such as sexual harassment claims. Given the potential risks, "the employer does have to interfere," Ms. Edwards says.

Meet privately with the employees and have them state that it's a voluntary relationship to protect against a sexual harassment claim. They should keep things professional, meaning no visible public

display of affection or sharing of company information in ways that could put their co-workers at a disadvantage.

Also talk about the potential of a breakup and the professionalism you expect. If they're at-will employees, they should know you could fire them for inappropriate behaviour.

2. An Employee Shares Too Much Personal Information with Co-workers This is the employee who talks in excruciating (极令人不愉快的)

detail about his impending divorce, recent doctor's visit or latest romantic relationship. There's no topic that's off limits - and for

co-workers, there's nowhere to hide.

Tim Young, founder and CEO of multimillion-dollar software firm Socialcast, has dealt with "TMI" employees at the company's Irvine, Calif., headquarters. He takes these employees to lunch and brings up the topic. Says Young, 27, "You can coach them on reducing the amount of information they're providing to [other] employees and refocus

them back on the company."

3. A laid-off employee turns vengeful (图谋报复的)

An angry ex-employee can cause a lot of damages. If he takes things too far, file a property damage report with the police. Even if

you're working only on suspicion that an ex-employee is behind the

damage, you can explain why you believe the ex-employee may be the

bad guy.

Plan ahead for ex-employees who could pose a problem. Research security companies and know how to file a restraining order, if necessary. Treat employees how you would like to be treated, too.

Says Ms. Edwards, "[Lay] people off in the most respectful and humane way possible to try to minimize this sort of behaviour."

4. Employees wear politics or religion on their sleeve

Religion and politics are topics best avoided, but some employees

will work them into the conversation.

There's a big difference between the employee who simply says "God bless you" and the employee who tries to convert his co-workers. As the employer, you may ask an employee to refrain from religious conversation around fellow co-workers who find it troublesome and could file harassment or hostile work environment claims. Be careful, however, not to discriminate the employee because of her religious expression, says James M. Craig, an employment attorney with Thompson, Sizemore, Gonzalez & Hearing.

Remind employees that politics can make people angry and distract from the work. Suggest they save these discussions for break times. 5. Employees think a co-worker got an undeserved promotion

Meet with the employees who have a problem with the promotion, says Bob Nelson, author of 1,001 Ways to Reward Employees. Talk to them about what you're hearing and let them offer their side. Tell them

why this co-worker received the promotion, focusing on skill aspects instead of personality traits. "State that it's inappropriate to complain about a co-worker and that you would like them to stop," he says.

Feeling passed over or ignored is often at the heart of this issue. If an employee feels bitter that he wasn't considered, work out a

plan for developing his skills. Employees who feel heard, appreciated and upwardly mobile will be more likely to offer their congratulations.

6. An employee is planning a wedding and annoying co-workers Planning a wedding is a happy time in a person's life, but not if you're the planner's co-worker picking up the slack for someone more interested in place settings than spreadsheets.

This problem can fester (激起怨忿) until other employees want to throw more than rice at the engaged. You shouldn't hold your peace as the employer. Pull this employee aside and offer your congratulations. Then say productivity is down and that her focus during work hours should be on the work. "It's a performance problem and should be addressed that way," Ms. Edwards says.

If you're generous, you might offer some short-term scheduling flexibility. If the employee refuses and files for divorce from your company, maybe it's for the best.

7. An employee's substance-abuse problem is becoming obvious

Mr. Young has had employees who developed substance abuse problems. He meets privately with them to discuss performance and behavioural problems, then he directs them toward the employee assistance program provided through Socialcast's outside HR provider. "It's important to try to dictate a plan of action," Mr. Young says.

8. There's conflict between childless employees and working parents Employers who ignore this delicate issue end up with unhappy workplaces where childless workers are always being asked to fill in the gaps for working parents who leave early and say they can't work weekends. "On occasion is one thing, but over time, [it] can become a habit of treating one class of employees differently from another," Mr. Nelson says.

He suggests a rotation system for projects and overtime, and allowing equal access to time off without a reason. Ask employees what would work, too. Says Mr. Nelson, "Sometimes when a policy is created and monitored by the staff, it has the best chance of being viewed as fair by everyone."

9. An employee is taking advantage of company money or equipment Unfortunately, every employer will have employees who secretly take from the company. In fact, hidden employee fraud steals 7 per cent of a company's revenue every year, according to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. "The dollars lost to fraud can grow quickly," says Tracy Coenen, a forensic accountant and the author of Essentials of Corporate Fraud.

Employee stealing increases in tough times, when an employee might take home a roll of paper towels or buy unnecessary office supplies just to get a free $20 coffee card. Ms. Coenen suggests writing a clear fraud policy that educates employees about what's unacceptable. For larger cases of fraud, Ms. Coenen advises small-business employers to contact a fraud investigator and an employment attorney for legal advice. "The worst thing a company can do," she says, "is ignore a fraud problem."

Part ⅣReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)

Section A

Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest

possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Skeet 2.

Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.

Cordia Harrington was tired of standing up all day and smelling

like French fries at night. A property developer, she also owned and operated three McDonald's franchises, but as a divorced mother of three boys, she yearned for a business that would provide for her children and let her spend more time with them.

Her aha moment struck, after she was nominated in 1992 to be on the McDonald's bun committee. "The other franchisees, all men, thought

that was funny because of the word bun," she recalls. "But the joke

was on them: They didn't know the company would be picking me up in a corporate jet to see bakeries around the world!"

The experience opened her eyes to business possibilities. When McDonald's decided it wanted a new bun supplier, Harrington became determined to win the contract, even though she had no experience running a bakery.

Harrington studied the bakery business and made sure she was never off executives' radar. "If you have a dream, you can't wait for people to call you," she says. "So I'd visit a mill and send them photos of myself in a baker's hat and jacket, holding a sign that said 'I want to be your baker.'" After four years and 32 interviews, her persistence paid off.

Harrington sealed the deal with a handshake, sold her franchises, invested everything she owned, and borrowed $13.5 million. She was ready to build the fastest, most automated bakery in the world.

The Tennessee Bun Company opened ahead of schedule in 1997, in time for a slump in U. S. fast-food sales for McDonald's. Before Harrington knew it, she was down to her last $20,000, not enough to cover payroll. And her agreement with McDonald's required that she sell exclusively to the company. "I cried myself to sleep many nights," she recalls. "I really did think I am going to go bankrupt." But Harrington worked out an agreement to supply Pepperidge Farm as well. "McDonald's could see a benefit if our production went up and prices went down, and no benefit if we went out of business," she says. "That deal saved us."

Over the next eight years, Harrington branched out even more: She started her own trucking business, added a cold-storage company, and now has three bakeries producing fresh buns and frozen dough. Grateful for the breaks she's had, Harrington is passionate about providing opportunities to all 230 employees. "Financial success is

the most fun when you can give it away," she says. "We had a project that came in under budget one year, and we gave each of our project managers a car with a big bow!"

47. To Cordia Harrington, the major benefit of the experience in McDonald's bun committee was

________________________.

48. While learning how to run a bakery, Cordia Harrington tried to make her effort known by

________________________.

49. The early stages of The Tennessee Bun Company were so difficult that Harrington couldn't even afford to__________________.

50. McDonald's allowed Harrington's bakery to break the agreement and supply Pepperidge Farm because it got __________________ from it.

51. Harrington is enthusiastic about awarding her workers because she felt ____________ for the chances given before.

Section B

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.

A globe-spanning U. N. digital library seeking to display and explain the wealth of all human cultures has gone into operation on the Internet, serving up mankind's accumulated knowledge in seven languages for students around the world.

James H. Billington, the librarian of Congress who launched the project four years ago, said the ambition was to make available on an easy-to-navigate site, free for scholars and other curious people

anywhere, a collection of primary documents and authoritative explanations from the planet's leading libraries.

The site (https://www.360docs.net/doc/9013050153.html,) has put up the Japanese work that is considered the first novel in history, for instance, along with the Aztecs' first mention of the Christ child in the New World and the works of ancient Arab scholars piercing the mysteries of algebra(代数), each entry flanked by learned commentary. "There are many one-

of-a-kind documents," Billington said in an interview.

The World Digital Library, which officially will be inaugurated (落

成典礼) recently at the Paris headquarters of UNESCO, the U. N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, has started small, with about 1,200 documents and their explanations from scholars in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian.

But it is designed to accommodate an unlimited number of such texts, charts and illustrations from as many countries and libraries as want to contribute.

The main target is children, building on the success among young people of the U. S. National Digital Library Program, which has been

in operation at the Library of Congress since the mid-1990s. That program, at its American Memory site, has made available 15 million U.S. historical records, including recorded interviews with former slaves, the first moving pictures and the Declaration of Independence. Billington predicted that children around the world, like their U. S. counterparts, will turn naturally to the Internet for answers to questions, provided they have access to computers and high-speed connections.

The site was developed by a team at the Library of Congress in Washington with technical assistance from the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt. The digital library's main server is also in Washington,

but officials said plans are underway for regional servers around the world.

In addition to UNESCO and the Library of Congress, 26 other

libraries and institutions in 19 countries have contributed to the project. Each is accompanied by a brief explanation of its content and significance. The documents have been scanned onto the site directly, in their original languages, but the explanations appear in all seven of the site's official languages.

Users can sort through the information in several ways. They can ask what was going on anywhere in the world in, say, science or literature during the 4th century B.C., for instance. They can look up the history of a certain topic over the centuries in China alone, or in China and North America. By cross-referencing, a user can see how one area of the world stood compared with another at any given time.

52. The World Digital Library mainly targets ______.

[A] young people in the U. S.

[B] children of poor countries

[C] students all over the world

[D] scholars understanding English

53. Who does "Christ child" (Line 2, Para. 3) refer to?

[B] The U.S. National Digital Library Program gains increasing popularity among people.

[C] Children around the world can have access to the World Digital Library anytime.

[D] The World Digital Library will have servers in countries around the world.

55. Which of the following is true about the World Digital Library according to the passage ?

to the library so far.

[C] All documents and their explanations in the library are in seven official languages.

[D] You can learn from the library about British politics and economy 1000 years ago.

56. What's the main purpose of this passage?

[A] To make people pay more attention to libraries.

[B] To introduce the World Digital Library clearly.

[C] To arouse people's awareness of protecting our culture.

[D] To tell people how to take advantage of digital libraries. Passage Two

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

Students who entered lotteries and won spots in New York City charter schools performed better on state exams than students who entered the same lotteries but did not secure charter school seats, according to a study by a Stanford University economist being released recently.

Charter schools, which are privately run but publicly financed, have been faring well on standardized tests in recent years. But skeptics have discounted their success by accusing them of "creaming"

the best students, saying that the most motivated students and engaged parents are the ones who apply for the spots.

The study's methodology (研究方法) addresses that issue by comparing charter school students with students of traditional schools who applied for charter spots but did not get them. Most of the city's 99 charter schools admit students by lottery.

The report is part of a multi-year study examining the performance of charter schools in New York City by Caroline M. Hoxby, a Stanford economist who has written extensively about her research on charter schools and vouchers.

Ms. Hoxby found that students who attended a charter school from kindergarten to eighth grade would nearly match the performance of their peers in rich suburban communities on state math exams by the time they entered high school, a phenomenon she characterizes as closing the "Harlem-Scarsdale" achievement gap. The results are somewhat less striking in English, where students closed 66 percent of the gap, according to the study.

By the third grade, according to the study, the average charter school student was 5.3 points ahead on state exams in English compared with students who were not admitted to the charter schools. In math, the students were 5.8 points ahead. Most tests are scored on a scale of roughly 475 to 800.

Ms. Hoxby did not reach any conclusions about what practices at the schools caused the jump, but she noted that many charter schools had extended school days and school years, many required students to attend classes on Saturdays and most paid teachers based on their performance and responsibility, rather than the traditional teachers' union salary scales.

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and the schools chancellor, Joel I. Klein, have embraced charter schools as a key to their effort to

overhaul (彻底改革) the city's school system. Mr. Klein has made an effort to recruit charter school operators that have been successful in other parts of the country to open schools throughout the city, particularly in the South Bronx, Central Brooklyn and Harlem. There are approximately 30,000 students in charter schools in the city, and another 40,000 students on waiting lists to be admitted to those schools.

57. What do we learn about students in New York City from the first paragraph?

[A] Students have to take state exams which are authoritative yardstick.

[B] Students in charter schools know very well about how to win a lottery.

[C] Students who perform worse on state exams have no access to charter schools.

[D] Students in charter schools are superior to others in the aspect of state exams.

58. People who suspect charter schools' achievement attribute these schools' success to their ______.

[A] prolonging students' school time

[B] bribing educational testing system

[C] skimming off the best students

[D] burdening students with heavy assignments

59. From the report the researcher published, we can know that

______.

[A] charter schools are booming these years

[B] charter schools deliberately admit the best students

[C] the students entering lotteries have no difference in intelligence

[D] teaching methods play an important role in training students

60. According to Hoxby, the charter schools succeed partly because ______.

[A] their reputations tend to attract many excellent students

[B] the teaching methods stimulate students' enthusiasm of study

[C] the salary mechanism mobilizes the teachers' teaching

initiative

[D] the poor family backgrounds make the students work

energetically

61. What can we infer about the educational system in the New York City from the passage?

[A] Charter schools will replace traditional schools ultimately.

[B] One third of the current charter school operators are from Harlem.

[C] The school system will be reformed in a large scale.

[D] Charter schools are becoming more and more popular.

One of the greatest concerns parents have when facing an international move is, "What school will be (62) to my child? Will my child be (63) academically as a result of this move?" Although this fear is certainly strongest in families moving overseas for the first time, even those who may be more (64) often have concerns about their children's education.

Dr. Ernest Mannino spoke frankly about some of the common (65) parents have regarding the education of their children. Dr. Mannino
