30、isolated from customers and employees. This phenomenon often occurs not just within top management, but also within middle management.Ive seen this isolation phenomenon in many companies. The symptoms are quite apparent: Managers spend a great deal of time talking to themselves and studying operatin
31、g numbers. They spend precious little time with customers or with employees, trying to understand the system of the business. And when they do spend time with them, they often do not probe deeply into needs, concerns, and opportunities. This phenomenon, often referred to as being “internally focused
32、“, can be tremendously insidious (隐伏陷害的).Although the need for understanding and spending time with customers has been well documented, I find few managers spending time in the field. The benefits of doing so are clear. A visit with your counterparts at customers distribution centers, for example, n
33、ot only builds relation ships that can prove useful when problems arise, but also uncovers numerous opportunities to enhance(增进，提高) your performance and deepen your companys linkage with those customers.There are many ways to connect with and understand employee perspectives(观点，看法). Some companies h
34、ave found formal sessions in which senior managers solicit (恳求，请求) ideas from employees to be very useful. These can be run either as focus groups or as structured discussions.Managers also should exploit every opportunity to gather organizational knowledge from employees. Some successful managers c
35、ollect employees opinions by what often is referred to as “managing by walking around“ or the “10-minute cup of coffee“. They, may, for example, go to employees offices and solicit their opinions. Or at lunch or when they take a cup of coffee, they “mix with the troops“ and solicit their input.Rathe
36、r than talk about the latest game, you can solicit employees ideas by asking questions like: What are you working on? Hows it going? Whats good about our organization? What could be better? How could we better serve our customers or improve our processes? What do you think we should be doing differe
37、ntly?Youll be surprised at how valuable a “10-minute cup of coffee“ together with a brief conversation with an employee can be. It will make you a more effective manager.（分数：8.00）(1).According to the passage, the phrase “tremendously insidious“ (Para. 2) is used here to de scribe the phenomenon that
38、 _.（分数：2.00）A.managers do not make any efforts to ask for employees opinionsB.managers seldom stay with customers to get information about business operationC.managers spend much time studying the digital data of their business operationD.managers make little contact with customers or employees(2).T
39、he following are the ways to connect with and understand employees ideas EXCEPT_.（分数：2.00）A.focus groups or structured discussionsB.managing by walking aroundC.talking and working with employeesD.asking questions about what they concern about(3).The expression “10-minute cup of coffee“ most probably
40、 means that _.（分数：2.00）A.some managers often drink a cup of coffee with employees for 10 minutesB.some managers collect employees opinion by stopping and talking with them for a short whileC.some managers buy cups of coffee for employees, trying to talk with them for 10 minutesD.some managers are ve
41、ry generous to share the same kind of coffee with employees(4).In this passage, the authors attitude towards “managing by walking around“ is _.（分数：2.00）A.approvingB.questioningC.objectiveD.criticalBPassage Two/BDivorces in Japan have more than doubled, from just over 95 000 in 1970 to 206 955 in 199
42、6, according to health ministry statistics. One in three Japanese marriages now ends in divorce.Atsuko Okano was in one of those failed marriages. Three years ago, she found herself alone in her 30s, with children to raise and a future full of question marks and social shame. But she al so saw an op
43、ening and became a consultant helping people like herself.“My husband was cheating on me,“ she recalls. “I did everything to bring him back to me but it didnt work, so I dumped him.“ Such frankness is a major characteristic of Japans recently divorced and a striking break with the past.Divorced peop
44、le particularly womenhave long been looked down upon in Japan, where self-sacrifice and family stability are regarded ms ideals. In the past, bored housewives remained bored. Philandering(逢场作戏) husbands philandered without being blamed. The security of the family unit was the most important thing. N
45、ow, young Japanese are increasingly choosing satisfaction in life over the demands of tradition, and more women are financially independent. As a result, Japanese divorce rates are flying. Experts attribute this to the erosion of a long-standing double standard that granted divorced men respectabili
46、ty, but branded(打标记) divorced women as damaged goods.Over the past decade, growing numbers of highly educated and successful professional women have challenged that assumption by turning their backs on unhappy marriages and disregarding the taboo(禁忌) of divorce. The majority of divorce proceedings n
47、ow are initiated by women.（分数：8.00）(1).This passage mainly talks about the fact that, nowadays, Japanese women _.（分数：2.00）A.are granted respectability after they get divorcedB.are becoming brave enough to challenge the taboo of divorceC.still regard the security of the family unit as very importantD
48、.are becoming more financially independent(2).It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that Atsuko Okano _.（分数：2.00）A.had some children to raiseB.was very confident with her futureC.was not greatly respected by Japanese societyD.might have found a job to help divorced people(3).Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for the rising rate of Japanese divorces?（分数：2.00）A.Self-sacrifice and family stability are not much appreciated in Japan as before.B.More women can support themselves financially.C.
