Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 Its never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art
30、of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often youve judged roughly, said unkind things; pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and truly that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isnt it? Frightening because some deep wisdom i
31、n us knows that whenever a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and regret expressed. I remember a doctor friend, the late Clarence Libel, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs: he
32、adaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No physical cause could be found. Finally Dr. Libel said to the man, “Unless you tell me whats worrying you, I cant help you.“ After some hesitation, the man confessed that as executor of his fathers will, he had been cheating his brother, who lived abroad, of
33、his inheritance. Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking forgiveness and enclosing a check as the first step in restoring their good relation. He then went with him to the mailbox in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. “Thank you, I
34、think Im cured.“ And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it strong. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or judged too roughly, or just neglected, do something about it right now. 46 When we have done s
35、omething wrong, we should _. （ A） look honest and think over the fault carefully （ B） escape from being disturbed （ C） admit the fault and express the regret （ D） forgive ourselves 47 What will happen if we have done something wrong? （ A） Our logic of thinking will be disturbed. （ B） We shall lose a
36、 friend; （ C） We shall apologize at once. （ D） Our moral balance will be disturbed. 48 What was the cause of the patients disease? （ A） Headaches. （ B） Stomach trouble. （ C） Disturbance of conscience. （ D） Some unknown physical weakness. 49 What had the patient done to his brother? （ A） He had sent
37、his brother abroad. （ B） He had cheated his brother out of his inheritance. （ C） He had given just a little share of the inheritance to his brother. （ D） He had gone abroad leaving his brother nothing. 50 The patient was cured lay_. （ A） writing a letter （ B） crossing a check （ C） mailing a letter （
38、 D） asking his brother to forgive him 50 As we know, it is very important that a fine should pay attention to the training of its staff as there exist many weak parts in its various departments. Staff training must have a purpose, which is defined when a firm considers its training needs, which are
39、in turn based on job descriptions and job specifications. A job description should give details of the performance that is required for a particular job, and a job specification should give information about the behavior, knowledge and skills that are expected of an employee who works in it. When al
40、l of this has been collected, it is possible to make a training specification. This specifies what the Training Department must teach for the successful performance of the job, and also the best methods to use in the training period. There are many different training methods, and there are advantage
41、s and disadvantages of all of them. Successful training programs depend on an understanding of the difference between learning about skills and training in using them. It is frequently said that learning about skills takes place “off the job“ in the classroom, but training in using these skills take
42、s “on the job“, by means of such activities as practice in the workshop. It is always difficult to evaluate the costs and savings of a training program. The success of such a program depends not only on the methods used but also on the quality of the staff who do the training. A company can often ch
43、eck on savings in time and cost by examining the work performed by the workers and technicians who have completed a training program. The evaluation management training is much more complex than that. 51 To be successful in our training programs, we must understand the difference between_. （ A） a jo
44、b description and a job specification （ B） what is taught and how it is taught （ C） learning about skills and training in using them （ D） the savings in time and the savings in cost 52 The success of a training program depends on_. （ A） the places where the training takes place （ B） the correct eval
45、uation of the costs and savings of the program （ C） the performance of the workers and technicians trained in the program （ D） the training methods and the quality of the training staff 53 A training specification specifies_. （ A） the performance required for a certain job （ B） the behavior, knowled
46、ge, and skills expected of an employee （ C） the training contents and methods （ D） the costs and savings of the program 54 According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? （ A） As there exist weak parts in different departments of a firm, the training of its staff is highly n
47、ecessary. （ B） A training specification is based on the information collected from a job description and a job specification. （ C） Training in using skills and learning about skills usually do not happen at the same place. （ D） It is easier to evaluate management training than to evaluate the traini
48、ng of workers and technicians. 55 The best title for this passage could be_. （ A） A Successful Training Program （ B） How to Describe and Specify a Job （ C） Staff Training （ D） The Importance of Training Workers and Technicians 55 He was a funny looking man with a cheerful face, good-natured and a gr
49、eat talker. He was described by his student, the great philosopher Plato, as “the best and most just and wisest man.“ Yet, this same man was condemned to death for his beliefs. The man was the Greek philosopher, Socrates, and he was condemned for not believing in the recognized gods and for corrupting young people. The second charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men who came to Athens from all over the ci
