Generally speaking, the Accounts Department is responsible for calculations of pay, while the Personnel Department(人事部) is interested in discussions with the employees about pay.
If a firm wants to adopt a new wage and salary structure, it is essential that the firm should decide on a method of job evaluation(估价) and ways of measuring the performance of its employees. In order to be successful, that new pay structure will need agreement between Trade Unions and employers.
In job evaluation, all the requirements of each job are defined in a detailed job description. Each of those requirements is given a value, usually in “points”, which are added together to give a total value for the job. For middle and higher management, a special method is used to evaluate managers on their knowledge of the job, their responsibility, and their ability to solve problems.
Because of the difficulty in measuring management work, however, job grades for managers are often decided without reference to an evaluation system based on points.
In attempting to design a pay system, the Personnel Department should compare the value of each job with those in the job market. It should also consider economic factors such as the cost of living and the labor supply.
It is necessary that payment for a job should vary with any differences in the way that the job is performed. Where it is simply to measure the work done, as in the work done with the hands, monetary encouragement schemes are often chosen; for indirect workers, where measurement is difficult, methods of additional payments are employed.

| A．the Trade Unions and the Personnel Department |

| A．their work is not important | B．they have low wages |
| C．the measurement of their work is difficult | D．the company does not have enough money |
| A．In every company only the Accounts Department takes charge of the management of wages and salaries. |
| B．Management work and the job done by workers can use the same evaluation system. |
| C．If a job is done differently, the payment for the job should be different too. |
| D．An evaluation system based on points is usually used to evaluate management work. |
| A．explain the responsibilities of both the Accounts Department and the Personnel Department. |
| B．explain not to evaluate the performance of a job by points |
| C．tell readers how a company should adopt a new payment system |

Almost two-thirds of teachers said sports stars were the type of celebrity many pupils wanted to follow while more than half of students wanted to be pop stars.
The survey said the celebrities that students aspired to mostly were David and Victoria Beckham who live in Los Angeles now. Soccer player Beckham is on the top of the survey while in second place, with almost a third of the survey’s votes, was his 33-year-old pop star wife.
Almost half of the 300 teachers surveyed said pupils tried to look like or behave like the celebrities they most admired, with some girls even dressing "unsuitably".
"We are not surprised about the influence of celebrity culture in schools —it reflects the current media passion with celebrities and the effect of celebrity culture on society as a whole," ATL general secretary Mary Bousted said in a statement.
"Celebrities can have a positive effect on pupils. They can raise pupils’ aspirations and desires for the future. However, celebrity culture can spread the idea that celebrity status is the greatest achievement and reinforce the belief that other career choices are not as valuable," said one primary school teacher. "Too many of the pupils believe that school success is unnecessary, because they will be able to get fame and fortune quite easily through a reality TV show."
小题1: The story mainly tells us that ______.
| A．the Beckhams are mostly admired in Britain |
| B．most students think that being pop stars is more valuable than other career achievements |
| C．the celebrity passion has a harmful impact upon British students’ studies |
| D．a survey was made recently about the popularity of the stars |
| A．is a pop star most students admire |
| B．goes in the second place of the celebrities admired |
| C．won two-thirds of the votes |
| D．lives in New York now |
| A．The pupils think it interesting to pretend to be the celebrities. |
| B．The behavior or the dress of celebrities can be followed as examples. |
| C．The author wants to show the negative influence these celebrities had on the students. |
| D．The author just wants to show being pop stars is very valuable to the students. |
| A．Celebrities can’t have positive impact on the students. |
| B．Beckham and Victoria are husband and wife. |
| C．The so-called celebrity culture does harm to the pupils’ ideas about achievement. |
| D．Many students believe that school success is unnecessary. |
Sports Star David Beckham
B. Survey of Students about Celebrities
C Harmful Effect of Celebrities on Students
D. Better to Be Pop Stars Than Sports Stars
Body language sends ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either meaningfully or not. A wink can be a way of showing that the person is only joking. A nod means agreement, while shaking the head indicates disagreement.
Other forms of language can be found in Braille (a reading system of raised dots read with the fingertips used by the blind), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals.

Until New York’s Chrysler Building was completed in 1930,the Eiffel Tower was the tallest structure in the world.Located by the river Seine,on an avenue named after its designer,this 985－foot （300－meter） tower is the most famous edifice（大建筑物） in the city of Paris.Gustave Eiffel’s idea was certainly chosen from among 700 proposals（提议） to represent the city in the International Exhibition of Paris in 1889.It commemorated（纪念） the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.
In 1887,three hundred steel workers spent two years constructing the 7 000－ton tower.Yet,it was almost torn down two decades after its completion.Luckily,its antenna（天线）,used for telegraphy at the time,saved it.Last July,it looked to observers as though the tower might be destroyed after all,as ominous（不吉利的） black clouds of smoke encircled the structure.Luck was again smiling upon the tower:the fire turned out to be a small one that was quickly put out by attendants on duty.
To date,more than 200 million people have visited the Eiffel Tower.However,it has not always been a beloved tourist attraction.At first,Parisians despised it.Its architectural style and metallic composition were not considered pleasing.Today,the Eiffel Tower is adorned（装饰） with special lights that sparkle for ten minutes each hour,from sunset until one a.m.If you happen to be passing by,look up at this breathtaking monument for an astonishing sight.The Eiffel Tower,composed of iron and steel,is greater than the sum of its parts.

| A．1907. | B．1909. | C．1889. | D．2003. |
| A．The steel and iron parts were unimpressive. |
| B．The awe－inspiring design was attracting. |
| C．Both A and B are correct. |
| D．Neither A nor B is correct. |
