30、 But, in the information economy, value has shifted rapidly from tangible to intangible assets, such as management skills and customer loyalty. But how do you measure intangible assets?Karl Erik Sveiby began trying to answer that question as a magazine publisher in Sweden and went to become Scandina
31、via s leading authority on knowledge-based businesses. In his latest book, The New Organizational Wealth, he offers insights into valuing and managing intangible assets.Noting that Microsoft Corporation, the world s largest software firm, once traded at an average share price of $ 70 at a time when
32、its book value was $ 7 , Sveiby asks: “ What is it about Microsoft that makes it worth 10 times the value of its recorded assets? What is the nature of that additional value that is perceived by the market but not recorded by the company?“Sveiby s answer is intangible assets, which he defines as emp
33、loyee competence, internal structures(systems, patents, etc.), and external structures(customer and supplier relationships and the organization s image). Because of these factors, it follows that owners hold a kind of intangible equity in the company, in addition to tangible assets such as cash and
34、accounts receivable.Since knowledge is a key intangible asset, the ability to transfer knowledge from one employee to another, or from outside sources to employees, is a key business capacity, in Sveiby s view. The greater the transfer of knowledge, the more overall employee competence improves. The
35、 best method for transferring knowledge, says Sveiby, is through direct experience with a subject rather than simply listening to someone or reading about it.Experience enables learning more than overt teaching because people acquire knowledge tacitly, by observation and listening in an unstructured
36、 environment. And, he adds, people will more readily learn from an activity if they enjoy it.Once the flow of information within an organization is managed properly, the competence of the organization increases, and the relations with customers improve. But Sveiby also points out that knowledge and
37、information are not the same thing. Information has no value until it becomes integrated knowledge and therefore useful.61 In the information economy, it is a challenge_.（A）to place a high value on intangible assets（B） to transfer tangible into intangible assets（C） to change the concept of assets（D）
38、to quantify intangible assets62 Microsoft Corporation, in Sveiby s view,_.（A）is skillful at managing intangible assets（B） creates most intangible assets in the world（C） does not hold any tangible, but much intangible assets（D）possesses much additional intangible assets recognized by the market63 The
39、 transfer of knowledge which is a key intangible asset, according to Sveiby, _.（A）has much to do with overall employee competence（B） is best done through hands-on experience（C） reflects business capacity（D）all of the above64 Integrated knowledge, information_.（A）begins to spread within an organizati
40、on（B） will lose much of its value（C） will remain useful forever（D）is an intangible asset65 Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?（A）Knowledge as Capital（B） Exploding Knowledge（C） The Power of Knowledge（D）Information and Knowledge65 High-speed living has become a fact of life,
41、and the frantic pace is taking its toll, according to science writer James Gleick. It s as if the old “ type A“ behavior of a few has expanded into the “hurry sickness“ of the many.“ We do feel that we re more time-driven and time-obsessed and generally rushed than ever before,“ writes Gleick in Fas
42、ter; The Acceleration of Just About Everything, a survey of fast-moving culture and its consequences. We may also be acting more hastily, losing control, and thinking superficially because we lie faster.Technology has conditioned us to expect instant results. Internet purchases arrive by next-day de
43、livery and the microwave delivers a hot meal in minutes. Faxes, e-mails, and cell phones make it possibleand increasingly obligatoryfor people to work faster. Gleick cites numerous examples of last-forward changes in our lives; Stock trading and news cycles are shorter; sound bites of presidential c
44、andidates on network newscasts dropped from 40 seconds in 1968 to 10 seconds in 1988; and some fast-food restaurants have added express lanes.High expectations for instant service make even the brief wait for an elevator seem interminable(漫长的). “A good waiting time is in the neighborhood of 15 secon
45、ds. Sometime around 40 seconds , people start to get visibly upset“ writes Gleick. We re dependent on systems that promise speed but often deliver frustration. Like rush-hour drivers fuming when a single accident halts the evening commute, people surfing the Internet squirm if a Web page is slow to
46、load or when access itself is not instantaneous. And the concert of “customer service“ can become an oxymoron for customers waiting on hold for a telephone representative.Up-tempo living has turned people multitaskerseating while driving, writing an e-mail while talking on the phone, or skimming doz
47、ens of television programs on split screen. Gleick suggests that human beings may be capable of adjusting to these new levels of stimuli as high-speed culture challenges our brains “ in a way they were not challenged in the past, except perhaps in times of war“. We may gain the flexibility to do sev
48、eral things at once but lose some of our capacity to focus in depth on a single task.66 With living pace getting quicker and quicker, the number of those of “Type-A“ behavior is_.（A）on the rise（B） out of control（C） on the decline（D）under investigation67 High-speed living brings about the following c
49、onsequences, exclusive of_.（A）superficial thinking（B） lose of control（C） waste of time（D）more haste68 The best conclusion can be drawn from the 3 rd paragraph is that_.（A）technology is building a fast-moving culture（B） we are living in the age of information（C） economy is booming with technology（D）the frantic pace is taking its toll69 As the author implies, the faster we live, _.（A）the less we do（B） the less patient we are（C）
