34、sis of these will help the company define what skills, abilities, and knowledge an Often it is the process of writing the job description and vacancy announcement that helps the company define the qualities they seek in a new employee. Once the requirements of the position are defined, the next chal
35、lenge is to find the person who can meet those requirements. One of the most common ways to locate a qualified person to fill a vacant position is to look within the organization itself.

36、ople. They are already known to the company, have been successful in it, and are familiar with its people, procedures, and policies.

Instead of doling out punishment for incomplete assignments, or assigning extra hours of tutoring for bad grades, the academy provides failing students with a reward. Th
44、rough the Computers for Success program, San Juan Academy students who fall behind their classmates in reading and mathematics are given their own computers. For nine weeks, the students get to keep a personal computer with a printer and software in their homes. They can work and play with the compu

Is this a prize for being bad in school? “It may look that way to an outsider,“ says school principal Edna Seymour, “but this approach is actually well backed up by research. Studies show that students who are computer literate do much better in scho
46、ol. The figures rise for students who actually have a computer at home, and are even higher for students from homes where most of the family members are comfortable using a computer.“ Because of this, when a student is given a computer to take home, families are encouraged to get into the act, too.
47、Students in the Computers for Success program are required, together with their parents and siblings, to attend a weekend computer seminar. This way everyone in the family becomes familiar with the use of the computer. This is an investment in the students educational future. “It is widely accepted
48、that parental involvement makes all the difference in a childs school success,“ says Principal Seymour. “We are extending that idea to involve families in our computer literacy program. As part of that program, we make it possible for families to buy refurbished computers at an affordable price. Man
49、y of our families have already taken advantage of this opportunity. On the whole, we have been very pleased with the Computers for Success program.“ 62 Which of the following is NOT part of the program? （ A） Software programs （ B） A printer （ C） A personal computer （ D） Textbooks 63 When can students use the computers? （ A） Only during school time （ B） On weekends only
