In the company in which I work, each of us is afraid of at least one person. The lower your
1 is,the more people you are afraid of. 2 all the people are afraid of the twelve men at the top
who helped 3 and build the company and now own and 4 it.
All these twelve men are 5 now and drained(耗尽) by time and success of energy and
ambition. Many have 6 their whole lives here. They seem friendly, slow and 7 when I come
upon them in thehalls and always courteous(谦恭的) when they 8 with others in the public lifts.
They 9 work hard. They hold meetings, make promotions (推销活动), and allow their 10 to
be used on announcements that are prepared and issued(发布) by somebody else. Nobody is sure
11 really runs the company, butthe company does run.
In the 12 course of a business day I am afraid of Jack Green because my department is part
of his department and Jack Green is my 13 ; Green is afraid of me because most of the work in my
department is done for the Sales Department, which is more 14 than his department.
Green distrusts me sometimes. He makes 15 clear to me every now and then that he wishes to
seeeverything 16 out of my department before it"s shown to other departments. I know he doesn"t
really mean this. He is 17 busy with his own work to pay that much attention to all of mine, and I"ll
bypass(避开) him on most of our assignments (任务) rather than 18 his time and delay their 19 to
people who have an immediate 20 for them.

By the time that a student reaches his senior year in high school, he is likely to believe that he is an
expert in reading. No matter how 1 he is, he can still improve. How do you read an article in a
textbook? Do you have a certain 2 of doing it or do you just 3 at the beginning and keep
reading 4 you come to the end?
5 students say that they use the " slow and sure" method. By this they mean they read every
sentence slowly and 6 . Every time they come to an 7 word they stop 8 what it means
and, if necessary, look it up in the 9 . In this method a person 10 has no time left for 11 what
he has read, for he has used all his 12 in trying to get the meaning of each word to 13 that he
14 everything.
Other students use what has been 15 the "review" method. Here a person tries to arrange his
time 16 he can read his lesson 17 twice. This type of reading is 18 than the " slow and sure"
method, for the lesson 19 be read rapidly or there will not be 20 time left for a second reading.

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping－watching TV and buying things by phone.
Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In some 1 countries, people can turn on their 2 and shop
for clothes, jewelry, food and many other things.
Teleshopping is becoming 3 in Sweden. For example, the biggest Swedish company sells varieties
of things on TV in different European countries, and in one year, it 4 $10 million. In France, there"re
two teleshopping channels, and the French 5 about $ 20 million a year in buying things through those
channels.
In Germany, until last year, teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour every day.
Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can 6 for telebusiness, including
the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German 7 are
hoping these will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without 8 . With
heavy traffic in cities, going shopping isn"t easy. But meanwhile, other Europeans 9 this new way
of buying things. They call teleshopping " 10 on the air". Many Europeans usually worry about the
quality of the things 11 on TV. They think high quality is the most important, and they are not sure
about the quality of the things 12 .
The need of high quality means that the European teleshopping companies will have to be 13 the
American companies. They will have to be more careful about the 14 of the things they sell. They
will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot 15 or see by themselves.

With the arrival of the age of "information economy", intellectual work is becoming a more
important source of wealth than manufacturing. Organizations in all walks of life are doing more
to spread their information. So people of the Public Relations are hired to speak for them. A lot
of our news is actually collected from press releases and reports of events intentionally staged for
journalists. In the information age, journalists spend their time, not investigating, but passing on the
words of a spokesperson.
2．_________________
There is a joke in the novel Scoop about the newspaper"s owner, Lord Copper. The editors can
never disagree with him. When he"s right about something they answer "definitely", and when he"s
wrong they say "to some extent, Lord Copper." It seems reasonable to suppose that, in the real
world, the opinions of such powerful people still influence the journalists and editors who work for
them.
3．________________
In countries where the news is not officially controlled, it may be provided by commercial
organizations who depend on advertising. The news has to attract viewers and maintain its audience
ratings. I suspect that some stories get air-time just because there happen to be exciting pictures to
show. In Britain, we have the tabloid newspapers which millions of people read simply for entertainment.
There is progressively less room for historical background, or statistics, which are harder to present
as a sensational story.
4．_______________
There is an argument that with spreading access to the internet and cheap technology for recording
sound and images we will all be able to find exactly the information we want. People around the world
will be able to publish their own eye-witness accounts and compete with the widely-accepted
news-gatherers on equal terms. But what it will mean also is that we"ll be subjected to a still greater
amount of nonsense and lies. Any web log may contain the latest information of the year, or equally,
a made-up story that you will never be able to check.
5．_______________
Maybe the time has come to do something about it, and I don"t just mean changing your choice of
TV channel or newspaper. In a world where everyone wants you to listen to their version, you only
have two choices: switch off altogether or start looking for sources you can trust. The investigative
journalist of the future is everyone who wants to know the truth.
