productive. Some experts believe that the answer is to make jobs more varied. Do more varied jobs lead
to greater productivity? There is something to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker"s life
more enjoyable, it does not make him work harder. So variety is not important.
Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is very little that can be done to achieve this.
Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are said to be
experimenting with having many small production lines rather than a large one, so that each worker
contributes more to the production of the cars on his line.It would seem then that the degree of workers"
contribution is important.
To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves cartainly think
this is important, but perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money
just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working
hours. Perhaps if companies succeed in making workers" jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.
B. Giving workers freedom to do their jobs in their own way.
C. Increasing workers" contribution to production.
D. Longer working hours.
interesting, _____.
B. they will demand shorter working hours
C. more money and shorter working hours are important
D. more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them
B. possible factors leading to greater productivity
C. more money leads to greater productivity
D. how to make workers" jobs more interesting
B. worker
C. manager
D. physicist

试题【阅读理解。 In recent years many countries have been faced with the problem of how】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
a hotly debated topic.The level of public interest in Obama’s tie might seem strange but many people
believe his choice will symbolize the type of government he plans to run, as the color of a politician’s tie
is thought to convey ideas of power, trustworthiness and more.
Polities of ties
It may be the least practical item of male dress, but it is arguably the most expressive.In the UK and
many other countries around the world, conservative (保守的) politicians may wear a blue tie and their
liberal opponents a red one.In America, the colors go the other way round.The Republicans have in
recent years become associated with the color red, and the Democrats with blue.But in spite of this,
Bush wears blue ties more often than any other color.
What they mean
According to Sharon Haver, editor of focusonstyle.com, in America the feelings associated with
colors overrule their political significance.“A guy who wants to be regarded as strong and in charge
would wear red, ” Haver says.Unsurprisingly, the business tycoon Donald Trump is known for wearing
red ties.But what about blue？According to Haver, “Blue is a softer color...Look at the sky.It’s peaceful
and calm and trustworthy.”
Selecting the right tie for the right occasion
Perfect job interview tie
Perhaps no other tiewearing occasion is as important as the job interview.Gilchrist, the fashion expert,
advises playing it safe and choosing a conservative one.Best choices are solids, stripes or small patterns.
An excellent color is burgundy (深红色) or another serious color.Avoid pink or yellow, which suggests
that the wearer lacks gravity.
Pattern ties, Gilchrist suggests, should be limited to a maximum of three colors.A striped tie is a safe
choice as this is acceptable to everyone.Last, Gilchrist recommends saving the expensive “hip” tie for
those applying for glamorous creative jobs.
Datenight tie
When picking out the right tie for taking a girl out on a date, spend more time considering color than
pattern.According to studies, women are attracted to men wearing the color blue, because blue gives the
image of a “stable, faithful, constant, always there” person.So what is the worst color to wear on a date？“Flattened caterpillar (毛虫) yellowgreen, ” according to Gilchrist, “it will repel both sexes equally.”

grow our economies without endangering our planet-and we must all do it together.We must seize the
opportunity to make Copenhagen a significant step forward in the global fight against climate change."

People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have police stations or private security guards. Parking is usually free, and the weather inside is always fine. The newest malls have beautiful rest
area with waterfalls and large green trees.
The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in Minnesota. It covers 4.2 million square
feet. It has 350 stores, eight night clubs, and a seven-acre park! There are parking spaces for 12,750 cars. About 750,000 people shop every week.
The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina, Minnesota. People loved doing all
their shopping in one place. More malls were built all over the country. Now, malls are like town centres
where people come to do many things. They shop, of course. They also eat in food houses that have food
from all over the world. They see movies at theatres. Some people even get their daily exercise by doing
the new sport of mall walking. Others go to malls to meet friends.

Today I am going to ask you to support Wikipedia with a donation.
Wikipedia is built differently from almost every other top 50 website.We have a small number of paid
staff,just twentythree.Wikipedia content is free to use by anyone for any purpose.Our annual expenses are less than six million dollars.Wikipedia is run by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation,which I founded in
2003.
Wikipedia is driven by a global community of more than 150,000 volunteers-all devoted to sharing
knowledge freely.Over almost eight years,these volunteers have contributed more than 11 million articles in 265 languages.More than 275 million people come to our website every month to access information,
free of charge and free of advertising.
But Wikipedia is more than a website.We share a common cause:Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge.That"s our commitment.
Your donation helps us in several ways.Most importantly,you will help us cover the increasing cost of
managing global traffic to one of the most popular websites on the Internet.Funds also help us improve the software that runs Wikipedia-making it easier to search,easier to read,and easier to write for.We are
committed to increasing the free knowledge movement worldwide,by taking on new volunteers,and
building strategic partnerships with institutions of culture and learning.
Wikipedia is different.It"s the largest encyclopedia (百科全书) in history,written by volunteers.Like a
national park or a school,we don"t believe advertising should have a place in Wikipedia.We want to keep it free and strong,but we need the support of thousands of people like you.
Thank you,
Jimmy Wales
