32、has been operating internationally for most of its 100 year history. Today the company has operations in 160 countries and employs over 400,000 people. The firms human resource management (HRM) strategy helps to explain a great deal of its success. In one recent year Coca-Cola transferred more than
33、300 professional and managerial staff from one country to another under its leadership development program, and the number of international transferees is increasing annually. One senior-level HRM manager explained the company strategy by noting: We recently concluded that our talent base has to be
34、multilingual and multicultural. To use a sports analogy, you want to be sure that you have a lot of capable and competent bench strength, ready to assume broader responsibilities as they present themselves. In preparing for the future, Coca-Cola includes a human resources recruitment forecast in its
35、 annual and long-term business strategies. The firm also has selection standards on which management can focus when recruiting and hiring. For example, the company likes applicants who are fluent in more than one language because they can be transferred to other geographic areas where their fluency
36、will help them be part of Coca-Colas operation. This multilingual multicultural emphasis starts at the top with the president, Roberto Goizueta, a Cuban-born American who has been chairman for over a decade, and with the 21 members of the board of whom only four are American. The firm also has a rec
37、ruitment program that helps it to identify candidates at the college level. More than just seeking students abroad, Coca-Cola looks for foreign students who are studying in the United States at domestic universities. The students are recruited stateside and then provided with a years training before
38、 they go back to their home country. Coca-cola also has an internship program for foreign students who are interested in working for the company during school break, either in the United States or back home. These interns are put into groups and assigned a project that requires them to make a presen
39、tation to the operations personnel on their project. This presentation must include a discussion of what worked and what did not work. Each individual intern is then evaluated, and management decides the persons future potential with the company. Coca-Cola believes that these approaches are extremel
40、y useful in helping the firm to find talent on a global basis. Not only is the company able to develop internal sources, but also the intern program provides a large number of additional individuals who would otherwise end in with other companies. Coca-Cola earns a greater portion of its income and
41、profit overseas than it does in the United States. The companys human resource management strategy helps to explain how Coke is able to achieve this feat. 58 What is the passage mainly about? （ A） The history of the Coca-Cola company. （ B） Coca-Colas employee development strategies. （ C） The future
42、of Coca-Colas international profits. （ D） Coca-Colas college recruitment program. 59 In paragraph 1, the authors primary purpose is_. （ A） to illustrate the size of the company （ B） to compare Coca-Cola and sports （ C） to describe Coca-Colas college interns （ D） to explain the firms international su
43、ccess 60 In paragraph 2, why does the author mention Coca-Colas president and its board? （ A） To illustrate the companys international emphasis. （ B） To show that Americans serve in high positions in the firm. （ C） To encourage foreigners to work for the company. （ D） To prove that the company has l
44、ong-time workers. 61 What can be inferred about student interns in paragraph 3? （ A） The company would rather hire American-born college students. （ B） The company ignores students schedules when planning internships. （ C） Interns are encouraged to work independently to show their potential. （ D） In
45、terns may get permanent jobs in the company after their internships. 62 All of the following are mentioned in paragraph 4 about the intern program EXCEPT_. （ A） the program helps the company identify skilled international workers （ B） some people might go to work for other firms if the program did n
46、ot exist （ C） the company believes the program contributes to its international success （ D） coca-Cola hopes the program will increase its profits in the United States 62 The period of adolescence, i.e. , the person between childhood and adulthood, may be long or short, depending on social expectati
47、ons and on societys definition as to what constitutes maturity and adulthood. In primitive societies adolescence is frequently a relatively short period of time, while in industrial societies with patterns of prolonged education coupled with laws against child labor, the period of adolescence is muc
48、h longer and may include most of the second decade of ones life. Furthermore, the length of the adolescent period and the definition of adulthood status may change in a given society as social and economic conditions change. Examples of this type of change are the disappearance of the frontier in th
49、e latter part of the nineteenth century in the United States, and more universally, the industrialization of an agricultural society. In modern society, ceremonies for adolescence have lost their formal recognition and symbolic significance and there no longer is an agreement as to what constitutes initiation ceremonies. Social ones have been replaced by a sequence of steps that lead to increased recognition and social status. For example, grad
