2、whom people are 2 Magnetism in that sense depends, first of all, 3 being seen. There is a type of authority which can be 4 from behind closed doors, but that is not leadership. 5 there is movement and action, the true leaders is in the forefront and may seem, indeed, to be everywhere at once. He has
3、 to become a legend; the 6 for anecdotes, whether true or 7 ; character. One of the simplest devices is to be absent 8 the occasion when the leader might be 9 to be there, enough in itself to start a rumor about the vital business 10 has detained him. To 11 up for this, he can appear when least expe
4、cted, giving rise to another story about the interest he can display 12 things which other folks might 13 as trivial. With this gift for 14 curiosity the leader always combines a reluctance to talk about himself. His interest is 15 in other people, he questions them and encourages them to talk and t

The
9、 New Knowledge Partnership will include a team of 40 Marconi managers in what Professor Bhatt calls electronic engineering management or E2. A wide range of engineering and non-engineering companies has expressed interest in these exciting programs. Professor Bhatt believes that e-commerce is changi
10、ng the business environment to a huge extent. Many chief executives do not understand the power of the new technologies and, in some cases, are actually resisting change. He says, “as long as enough industry leaders realize its potential benefits, e-business will make possible a second productivity
11、revolution in Britain. This could take the economy close to eliminating the still substantial competitiveness gap with its main rivals. Over the last five years in the US there has been a 30% improvement in manufacturing sector productivity because of information technology. In Britain we can achiev
12、e more than that and successful e-business will be worth billions to the UK economy.“ Already Britain makes more use of computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) and management information technology systems than other European countries, and has a government that actively promotes e-business.
13、 But, observes Professor Bhatt, Britain has never used technology as a growth driver. “The thing about electronic engineering management is that you can keep your legacy systems; you just need to link those systems with an information engine. At the touch of a button it will allow project managers t
14、o see the status of a project, identify problems precisely and make virtually immediate decisions based on information that will be much more complete than in the past.“ The E2 program is the result of an alliance by the Warwick Manufacturing Group with America“s leading e-commerce study center, Car
15、negie Mellon. The latter will be responsible for training many of the Marconi managers in America, where the group has half its business. In Britain, Professor Bhatt has linked up with Sun Microsystems, Oracle and Parametric Technology, to set up a multi-million pound E2 design and manufacturing cen
16、ter at the university which will be used for training and research. Professor Bhatt believes that e-commerce is changing business to such an extent that WMG is likely to be renamed Warwick Electronic Manufacturing Group. But, he warns “The move to globalize because of e-commerce is racing ahead. Alt
17、hough the net allows British industry to overtake their European peers, it also offers Asian countries to leapfrog (跃过) the West. For the first time it is not the privilege of the western world because this technology is universal.“（分数：10.00）(1).Professor Bhatt and Rob Meakin have developed a method

Arizona“s fast-growing Latino population offer
24、s the state tremendous promise and a challenge. Even more than the aging of the baby boomers, the Latino boom is fundamentally reorienting the state“s economic and social structure. Immigration and natural increase have added 600,000 young Latino residents to the state“s population in the past decad
25、e. Half of the population younger than 18 in both Phoenix and Tucson is now Latino. Within 20 years, Latinos will make up half of the homegrown entry-level labor pool in the state“s two largest labor markets. What is more, Hispanics are becoming key economic players. Most people don“t notice it, but
26、 Latinos born in Arizona make up much of their immigrant parents“ economic and educational deficits. For example, second-generation Mexican-Americans secure an average of 12 grades of schooling where their parents obtained less than nine. That means they erase 70 percent of their parents“ lag behind
27、 third-generation non-Hispanic Whites in a single generation. All of this hands the state a golden opportunity. At a time when many states will struggle with labor shortages because of modest population growth, Arizona has a priceless chance to build a populous, hardworking and skilled workforce on
28、which to base future prosperity. The problem is that Arizona and its Latino residents may not be able to seize this opportunity. Far too many of Arizona“s Latinos drop out of high school or fail to obtain the basic education needed for more advanced study. As a result, educational deficits are holdi
29、ng back many Latinosand the state as well. To be sure, construction and low-end service jobs continue to absorb tens of thousands of Latino immigrants with little formal education. But over the long term, most of Arizona“s Latino citizens remain ill-prepared to prosper in an increasingly demanding k
30、nowledge economy. For the reason, the educational uplift of Arizona“s huge Latino population must move to the center of the state“s agenda. After all, the education deficits of Arizona“s Latino population will severely cramp the fortunes of hardworking people if they go unaddressed and could well un
31、dercut the state“s ability to compete in the new economy. At the entry level, slower growth rates may create more competition for low-skill jobs, displacing Latinos from a significant means of support. At the higher end, shortages of Latinos educationally ready to move up will make it much harder fo

35、.（分数：2.00）A.controlling the Latino populationB.enhancing the educational level of the Latino populationC.improving the knowledge-based economyD.building the Latino population into hardworking and skilled workforce(5).It is implied that, in the long run, most Latinos in Arizona will _.（分数：2.00）A.be j

The odds of not having any competition are next to impossible, and something any worthwhile business, whether big or small, has to eve
37、ntually come to accept. Every one of those businesses are trying to do the exact same thing: get people to buy their products. When flooded with so many potential prospects it isn“t always easy for the customers to know which business is the best and which one has the best product. What you need to
38、do is to help them along. Differentiating your business and your products from the competitors is by far one of the most important details when dealing with any kind of industry. Everything a company does, from the creative ads they run to the inventive promotions they produce to the full color busi
39、ness cards they hand out is geared towards separating themselves from the rest of the flock. If you“re going to compete with them you“re going to have to do the same, and do it more effectively. Sometimes the most effective approaches can be some of the most simple. Printing well-colored brochures g
40、ives businesses the chance to show their customers the subtle or not so subtle differences between them and the competitors, whether it is better designs, better features, or better prices. Handing them a list of all the products or services you offer allows them the ability to see exactly what they
41、“re getting when they do business with you, and the more customers know about a business the better the odds are they“ll feel comfortable with them. But, even going beyond the products, boosting up your company can also be an effective tool to place you above the competitors. When you hand a person
42、a business card, fully colored with a unique design you“re handing him a means to remember you. A business card can say a lot about a person and the business he run. Simple, drab colors can be off putting to the person looking for a friendlier business. The right color scheme alone can differentiate
43、 you from the competitors, and once you“ve managed to separate yourself out, you“ll be in a prime position to be whom the person favors when they need that specific product. With competition as steep as it is today, every business has its hands full trying to stay above the rest. When every little t
44、hing counts, the business the customers will take to heart will be the one who can show them just why they“re the best qualified. Printing out the right kind of colorful brochure or business card can be a valuable method of stepping away from the crowded business field.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the
