C When it's five o'clock， people leave their office． The length of the workday， for many workers， is defined by time． They leave when the clock tells them they're done． These days，the time is everywhere， not just on clocks or watches， but on cell-phones and computers． That may be a bad thing， particularly at work． New research shows that clock-based work schedules hinder （阻碍）morale and creativity． Clock-timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours． For example： a meeting from 9 a．m． to 10 a．m．， research from 10 a．m． to noon， etc． On the other hand， task-timers have a list of things they want to accomplish． They work down the list， each task starts when the previous task is completed． It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning． What， then， are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways？ Does one make us more productive？ Better at the tasks at hand？ Happier？ In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier， they had participants organize different activities - from project planning， holiday shopping， to yoga - by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under "clock time" vs "task time"． They found clock timers to be more efficient but less happy because they felt little control over their lives． Task timers are happier and more creative， but less productive． They tend to enjoy the moment when something good is happening， and seize opportunities that come up． The researchers argue that task-based organizing tends to be undervalued and under-supported in the business culture． Smart companies， they believe， will try to bake more task-based planning into their strategies． This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office， but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic of the economy： work organized by clock time． While most people will still probably need， and be， to some extent， dock-timers， task-based timing should be used when performing a job that requires more creativity． It'll make those tasks easier， and the task-doers will be happier．（1）What does the author think of time displayed everywhere？ ____ A．It makes everybody time-conscious．B．It is a convenience for work and life．C．It may have a negative effect on creative work．D．It clearly indicates the fast pace of modem life．（2）How do people usually go about their work according to the author？ ____ A．They combine clock-based and task-based planning．B．They give priority to the most urgent task on hand．C．They set a time limit for each specific task．D．They accomplish their tasks one by one．（3）What did Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier find in their experiments about clock-timers？ ____ A．They seize opportunities as they come up．B．They always get their work done in time．C．They have more control over their lives．D．They tend to be more productive．（4）What do the researchers say about today's business culture？ ____ A．It does not support the strategies adopted by smart companies．B．It does not attach enough importance to task-based practice．C．It places more emphasis on work efficiency than on workers' lives．D．It aims to bring employees' potential and creativity into full play．（5）What do the researchers suggest？ ____ A．Performing creative jobs tends to make workers happier．B．It is important to keep a balance between work and life．C．Task-based timing is preferred for doing creative work．D．A scientific standard should be adopted in job evaluation．

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
