A
I’d have to say that the schemes to reduce staff absence and increase punctuality(准时) have been a big success. We’ve seen that staff attendance levels have increased from 88% to 93%, and levels of punctuality have increased from 79% to 91%, which is fantastic. And the number of days that staff have taken off for sickness has dropped from an average of nine days per year to just five. There has also been a general increase in motivation at work, and we’ve seen output increase by at least 16% since this time last year.
So, what have we been doing to improve things? Well, for a start, we’ve been introducing a scheme so that employees get bonuses if company production targets and sales figures are met. And if things carry on as they are, all employees will have received a bonus by the end of next month. We’ve also introduced a system whereby employees and management set personal targets. Then, the individual employee receives a bonus if these targets are met. And to help with punctuality, we’ve installed a new system that records exactly what time people are getting in and leaving the office. This has helped improve punctuality rates substantially.
Another initiative has been the installation of a games room for employees to use during mid-morning and lunch breaks. We’ve found that it’s a great way to motivate staff, giving them time to relax. As part of this, we’ve bought a ping pong table, a basketball hoop and a darts board. And by next week, the two table-football tables that we ordered last month will have arrived. Since opening the games room, staff have been using it constantly, especially the beds that we bought to allow staff to have a short nap during the day. Along similar lines, we’ve also organized a number of teambuilding excursions.
1、Why does the author list some figures in Paragraph One?
A．To prove the plans work well
B．To show employees to be more punctual
C．To present the production grows obviously
D．To prove the increase of workers’ attendance
2、What have they done to help with punctuality?
A．They’ve set personal targets
B．They’ve weakened demands on employees
C．They’ve introduced a scheme to give employees bonuses
D．They’ve recorded workers’ coming and leaving by a new system
3、What has been most popular in the games room?
A．A ping pong table B．A darts board
C．A basketball hoop D．A nap bed
4、As readers, who may benefit most from this article?
A．Students B．Managers
C．Teachers D．Farmers

B
About a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”
My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”
Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.
The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”
As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.
1、Why did Lori make the call?
A．She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.
B．She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.
C．She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.
D．She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.
2、What impressed “I” by Lori?
A．Lori was good at running recruiting.
B．Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.
C．Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.
D．Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.
3、What can we infer from the passage?
A．Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.
B．None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.
C．Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.
D．A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.
4、What is the best title of the passage?
A．It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.
B．Facebook’s Biggest Problem.
C．Applying for a Job in Facebook.
D．A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.

Before I came to college, I was sure I knew all about it, since I had met some college students and had seen more than my share of old “college” movies where the 1 belonged to “playboys” and the heroines to sophisticates(圆滑世故的人）. But, now, after one semester as a college student, many of my old ideas have 2 completely.
I used to imagine bossy upper-classmen, for example. I thought they would be know-it-all rulers of the campus who 3 freshmen for fun. I pictured being 4 to the wrong classrooms, being ignored. But, in fact, the upper-classmen turned out to be quite 5 . They offered to help me and inspired me to 6 my tough courses.
The upper-classmen weren’t the only ones I worried about. I was also 7 about the other freshmen. I was afraid they might think I was too fat, too shy, too 8 , or even too dumb to bother with. 9 , I was wrong. When I finally got to college, I discovered that most students felt exactly as I did. They were as uneasy with me as I was with them, and as we started to open up, we began to 10 one another. We began to become curious about each other’s backgrounds and interests; the differences among us actually became 11 .
I changed my mind about other things too. I had 12 homework to be a book-filled nightmare, which would keep me from meeting 13 dates. I did have some 14 tests; I did break out in a clammy sweat, and 15 a stomach upset and a gigantic headache, but contrary to expectations, I passed all of my exams with good grades.
I’ve always been 16 . Then if the worst happens, I’m just ready for it. I have planned to live 17 this principle before. But after this, I know not all schools would be the same. This one 18 to be much better than I thought it would be — a good 19 in not jumping to conclusions. No doubt my 20 toward college will shift still more as I go on, but I know I’ll never be as negative as I was before I got to college.
