A Maurizio Verna

Long-term, visionary business leaders must be prepared to invest to get what they want for their company. They know when and how to apply pressure and to take risks, when they need to display a more hands-off approach. I have a pretty clear view of my ideal business leader, and of course that‘s where I ‗m trying to head: he or she should start up and grow a cash-rich, multi-interest international organization of tremendous stren

ngth and depth.

B Sue Tucker

The pace of technological change, and the rate at which businesses are changing , requires leaders to have a particular aptitude for technology and an understanding of the internet. A lot of people are aware of the opportunities here ,but awareness alone isn‘t enough: in a true leader this needs to be coupled with clever marketing, product design and technological innovation, and keeping abreast of everything going on in the company. In fact the acid test , I think , is being able to use all of these skills to turn around a failing company.

C Carol Godfrey

Effective leaders stand out from the herd. They‘re often idiosyncratic, even eccentric.They have the confidence to be themselves, and not to adopt the language and attributes of the run-of-the-mill professional managers and accountants. What‘s crucial is having the charisma or whatever it is that gives their staff confidence in them, so they can keep everyone on board when they want to make innovations. So often these don‘t get off the ground because of lack of leadership, because after all, our response to change is significantly affected by how it‘s introduced.

D Brian Matthews

Leadership is about making things happen and being judged by results. Good ideas that go nowhere are a waste of time. Anticipate needs-those of customers for instance-and initiate action to meet those needs before the people concerned have even recognized they‘ve got them. Th at way you‘ll always be ahead of the game, whatever line you‘re in. For instance, top stockbrokers will learn all about you and your business and keep themselves completely up to date with your field in order to advise you. If they‘re really good they ‗ll recognize trends even before you do .

E Ana Costa

Outstanding leaders understand both tactics and strategy, and are prepared to play a very long game to achieve their objectives. They understand that in negotiations they need the ― win-win‖ concept, because losers risk losing their dignity, which is no good for your long-term business relationship with them. Leaders must stay optimistic, whatever the odds, and keep up morale of their company, even when the going‘s tough. It‘s important to be very much hands-on, too. A good leader will champion ideas that keep the company in the forefront.

Questions 15 - 20

Read the following extract from a book on management and the questions on the opposite page .

For each question 15– 20,mark one letter (A, B, C or D ) on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose

In the last few years, managers throughout industry have seen more changes than many of them could have expected to see in their entire working lives having to communicate information which often leads to feelings of insecurity has become a key activity. From being regarded as rel

atively unimportant in many companies , management employee communication has become a central corporate need.

Concordia International provides a good example of a company that has adjusted well to the changing needs for communication . since 1995 , Concordia has been turned inside-out and upside-down, to ensure that it is a marketing –led, customer-responsive business, one that looks outwards at customers and competitors, rather than inwards at its own processes and the way things were done in the past. In the last eight years, Concordia has reduced its workforce by more than 80.000 people - or 35% -on a voluntary basis, with further downsizing anticipated.

From being an engineering company, Concordia is now remaking itself as a service company. The ro

le of employee communication in such a context is to build people‘s self-confidence, to persuade them that, although it is inevitable that the changes will go ahead, they also bring with them new opportunities for employees. However, this is not an easy task. People tend to be skeptical of these claims and to feel that they are losing touch with the company they have worked for over many years. This is understandable, since many of the old certainties are being swept away , including the core activities of the company they work for. Above all , they have had to face up to the fact that they no longer have a job for life.

Research indicates that people respond to this predicament in a variety of ways. The bulk of employees fall into two main categories in terms of their response to the new situation: on the one hand there are the ― pragmatists‖ and on the other ― the highly anxious‖ the former see their job as a means to an end and have a relatively short-term perspective, with strong loyalty to their local term , rather than the company as a whole . the second category, usually the majority, may respond to threatened changes with a feeling of having been let down, and even feel anger at the company for what they see as changing the terms of their employment.

The employee communication process needs to be capable of accurately directing its messages at a variety of employee groups and departments within the workforce . this is why middle managers and line managers

are so key to communication. They are the people who know about the full rage of concerns among the workforce. The problem in the past was that this crucial area was often the responsibility of a separate, relatively isolated unit. Concordia puts responsibility for communication firmly on line managers. All their research points to the same conclusion: people prefer to get their information face-to-face from their line managers. That is the key relationship and where arguments and hearts and minds –are lost.

The general rule in company communication is to tell employees as much as you can as soon as you can. If you can‘t provide details, then at least put the news in context and commit yourself to providing greater detail when it becomes available another rule of company communication is that there must be a fit between what the company is telling its employees and what it is telling its shareholders.

15: in the last eight years, Concordia has

A made over 80.000 employees reduncdant

B completed a period of downsizing

C reduced its workforce of 80.000 by 35%

D given 35% of departing employees voluntary redundancy

16 from Concordia‘s point of view, the role of communication is to

A win employee support before going ahead with the changes

B change the company‘s core activities.

C emphasise the positive aspects of the changes

D explain the need for the changes

17 what does research show about most employees‘ response to change?

A they expect it to have a bad effect on the company

B they feel completely powerless2015年商务英语考试BEC初级真题

C they become less loyal

D they fell they have been treated unfairly

18 Concordia‘s communication process mainly relies on

A printed communication

B departmental heads

C personal communication

D a separate, specialized unit

19 According to the writer, what is the guiding ;principle about giving information within an organization?

A Never make promises about future developments

B Give people an overall view at the earliest possible stage

C always include plenty of hard information

D Hold back until all the details can be provided

Section C

Directions: There are two 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. Then write down the correct answer in the brackets for each question or statement. This section totals 20 points, two points for each question. Passage One

What a lovely place Xerox is to work Kim Moloney, a client services executive, can‟t say enough nice things about her employer. „It‟s a very special environment,‟ she says. „People describe Xerox as a family and I was amazed at the number of people who have worked here for so long.‟ It‟s tempting to take Moloney‟s comments with a pinch of salt, especially considering that when you‟ve been working

somewhere for only two years, as she has at Xerox, everyone seems old and established. But there‟s truth behind her enthusiasm.

Take Carole Palmer, the group resources director. She joined Xerox in 1978 as a temp and has been in her present role for seven years. „Xerox has been good to me over the years,‟ she says. „It has supported me through

qualifications … and last year I took part in the vice-president incumbent program.‟ Human resources is taken seriously at Xerox, Palmer says, and the company has a policy of promoting from within (which would explain Moloney‟s amazement at her colleagues‟ longevity). The company takes on only fifteen to twenty graduates each year and Moloney was part of an intake who joined having already acquired a couple of years‟ work experience. She started as a project manager for Xerox Global Services

before moving into sales. Now her responsibility is to „grow and maintain customer relationships‟.

Palmer says. The company has four other main offices in the UK. The nature of the organization, which encompasses sales and marketing, global services (the biggest division), developing markets, research and development and

manufacturing, means that the opportunities at the company vary from service engineers to sales roles and consultants. Perks include a final-salary pension scheme and various discount schemes. The reward and recognition scheme is a little different, and rather nice: „Each manager has a budget every year to recognize and reward staff,‟ Palmer says. „It can be in the form of a meal for two, or a bottle of wine. It can be up to £1,000. There‟s the recognition, and then there‟s putting money behind it.‟ Moloney, however, likes the non-cash rewards. „Xerox takes care of all its staff but it also recognizes the people who put in the added effort,‟ she says. „It offers once-in-a-lifetime incentive trips, and recently I organized a sailing trip for my team.‟

The idea of working abroad with the company appeals to her, and she says that her career goal is to be part of the senior management team. Here‟s another employee, it would seem, who is in it for the long haul.

( )1.The journalist of this article thinks that . A. staff at Xerox are not telling the truth abut the company.

B. Xerox offers great benefits to staff. C. Xerox is the best company in the world. D. Xerox has the best working environment. ( )2.The company tends to find its new manager . A. only form graduates B. on training courses C. from existing staff D. from job markets

( )3.What does the phrase “to take on” in the sentence “The company takes on only fifteen to twenty graduates each year and …” of the second paragraph mean? . A. To train B. To employ

C. To interview D. To maintain(A)

( )4.As well as recognizing its staff through promotion, Xerox .

A. gives cash bonuses

B. gives unpaid leave to take trips of a lifetime. C. provides a number of perks.

D. provides huge end-of-year bonuses.

( )5.One common feature of Xerox staff is that they tend .

A. to work hard B. to get promoted

C. work longer hours each day D. not to change employer

Passage Two

Even if you get work done and generally get along with co-workers, you could have habits that bug your boss (not to

mention your officemates). While these quirks may not necessarily get you fired, they certainly can keep you from climbing the corporate ladder. We‟ve uncovered a number of habits that bug your boss and offer tips on how to avoid them.

According to LaRhonda Edwards, a human resources manager with thirteen years of HR experience, tardiness is one of the biggest concerns for managers. “If the normal work day starts at 8 o‟clock, then the expectation is that you‟re in the office ready to start your day,” she explains. Her advice to the chronically late? “Plan ahead,” she urges. “If you live 50 minutes away, you don‟t leave 50 minutes early. Tag on extra time and anticipate road blocks.” Some people even set their clocks a few minutes early to ensure that they‟re on time. Different bosses prefer different modes of communication. Lindsey Pollak, a workplace expert and author of Getting from College to Career, says if you text your boss and she prefers in-person meetings, “either your information won‟t get across or you‟ll irritate [her].” Fortunately, there‟s a simple fix: ask your boss how and when to send updates. If you‟re too shy to ask outright, then Pollak suggests observing how they communicate with you. “If you have a boss who communicates once a day by email, that‟s the boss‟ preferred frequency and method of communication,” explains Pollak.

A cluttered, messy work space can give your boss the impression that you‟re lazy or disorganized, so try to keep your desk neat. “Never put more on your desk than you‟re going to work on for the day,” recommends Edwards. “At the end of the day, make sure you set up for the next day. I may be working on five things at once, but at the end of the day, they‟re gone, and I set up for the next day.” Most managers would rather you ask a question than make a mistake, but many questions can be answered on your own. “Is this something you could Google or ask a colleague?” wonders Pollak. “The internet is so vast that a lot of information you can get yourself.” If you must approach your boss with a question or issue, then Pollak recommends brainstorming beforehand. “Rather than saying „This client is terrible. What should I do?‟ think about potential solutions,” she says.

Cell phones are practically ubiquitous in the workplace these days, but it‟s still disruptive and disrespectful when they go off during a meeting. Edwards says that you should, “put your cell phone on vibrate or leave it in your own office so it‟s not a distraction.” That way you won‟t be tempted to text either

( )6.According to the article, how many pieces of advice are offered here? .

A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five(B) ( )7.What is this article about? .

课文注释及词汇讲解

* We are going to be working together.

我们将在一起工作。

该句用的是将来进行时,意义相当于一般将来时,即该句也可以说成:We are going work together. 用将来进行时目的是语言更加形象生动。中国学生往往不敢用将来进行时。其实该时态用法与一般将来时基本一样,而且能丰富我们的表达方式,也更符合口语习惯。

e.g. I will beworking in New York next month.

我下个月将到纽约去工作。

* have to 不得不,必须

must的意思也是"必须"。

两者的区别为:

have to 是一种客观要求。

must 为主观认为。

e.g. According to the contract[合同] wehave to pay by L/C[信用证]

根据合同规定,我们必须以信用证付款。[合同条款是客观要求]

"You must pay us by L/C," said the exporter.

"你们必须以信用证付款,"出口商说。[某人的要求是主观的]

* over (adv.)(跨过一定空间)到.............

e.g. He's over from the States on a visit.

他从美国来访。

* the States 指美国[注意:首字母要大写并且要在词尾加-s表复数]

* be on a visit 在访问中

介词on在这里指"在从事……中;处于……情况中"。

e.g. I'm here on business. 我来这儿出差。

* host 主人

女主人为hostess

* Dr 为 doctor的缩写,是博士或医生的头衔。可以单独用来称呼人,也可以加在姓的前面称呼人。

e.g. Dr Smith 史密斯博士/医生[依上下文而定]

* move 搬家,移动

e.g. The traders are going to move theiroffice to Wall Street.

这些贸易商打算把办公室搬进华尔街。

* join 加入,参加

e.g. She's just joined the company.

她刚刚到这个公司工作。

He joined the marketing team last week.

他上周加入了营销组。

* Purchasing Manager 采购经理

* Export Sales Manager 出口销售经理

* cover (业务)覆盖

The tea company covers almost all of East Asia. 这家茶叶公司与东亚各国几乎都有业务关系。
