Id be interested to know what you make of them. F: Well,

32、 Louis, i think its a mixed bog. I guess theyve been fairly carefully planned. I think every department head was consulted, so ideas were contributed from the whole organization. The chairman put a lot of thought into bringing it all together, which is probably due to his background in consultancy w

33、anting to get the whole picture clear, before finally deciding. M: I hadnt realized theyd been so long in the making they seemed to come out of the blue. F: Oh no, its been building up. The idea is to give our whole operation a boost. Weve been paying the price for low motivation for quite a while,

34、and its time to turn staff retention rates around. Sales and profits have been static for too long, but if we can get more commitment out of people, things should pick up. M: Sounds reasonable. As I say, I thought theyd happened rather suddenly. If other senior staffs are thinking that too, theyre g

35、oing to feel some resentment. But then again, it doesnt mean they wont get on with implementing them, so I guess itll all end up alright. F: I hope youre right. Still, Im personally rather unconvinced about the new working hours. M: Oh? F: Well the idea sounds nice having core hours from 11 to 3 and

36、 leaving people free to start as early or late as they want and finish accordingly. M: And maybe working four long days and having longer weekends. F: But itll mean well be very understaffed on some days, and then those people who are here will have to take everybodys calls, so less actual work will

37、 get done thats how I see it turning out in the end, anyway. M: I see what you mean. What other problems do you foresee? F: I think the sales targets could have been better thought out. I know the idea is to encourage a spirit of healthy competition, which is not a bad thing of course, but theyve be

38、en applied right across the board in the departments affected. People cant be expected to achieve the same regardless of what theyre selling. Its a fact that some models outsell others, and that ought to be reflected in the targets. M: Well, on a more positive note, Im all in favour of the training

39、thats being introduced. Uh-huh. M: Its going to be far more accessible. When we had sessions provided by the college, the topics were rather limited, it seemed to me, but now theres a much wider range on offer, not just internet and database management all the time, I just hope they timetable it sen

40、sibly. F: Oh, I think they will, after all the effort of setting it up. Something Im looking forward to is the newsletter thats a great idea. M: Yes, it makes you wonder why we havent had one before. F: Itll be a real boost for corporate culture, make everyone fell involved. The overseas reps will p

41、articularly appreciate it they can feel outside the loop except when theyre over here, which is only twice a year. I suppose most of the contributions will come from managers. People joining the company will probably assume weve always had it, but Im sure itll be an improvement. M: So, some hope for

42、 the future? F: Lets give it about six months to see how it all plays out. It takes time to tell whether things are going to succeed, and everyone will need to be consulted to get their views and experiences on the changes. The real test will be morale, and whether it seems to go up or down, but Id

43、guess these wont be the last changes, and that well see more major changes introduced. M: As you say, time will tell. 23 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 文中提到 “the chairman put a lot of thoughtinto bringing it all together”，因此，尽管各个部门都提出建议，但是是主席竭力把所有的建议综合在一起的。 24 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 在谈到此变化的动机时，她说， “we havebeen paying the

44、 price for low motivation forquite a while， and its time to turn staff retention rates(锁定率 )around ”接着她说， “sales and profits have been static for toolong”，因此，此变化的动机就是提高工作人员的更迭率。 25 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 对新的变化的看法，他说， “theyre going tofeel some resentment(憎恨、不满 )”，同时他提到，此变化来得太快了，但是他认为最终结局还会是不错的。 26 【正确答案】 A

45、【试题解析】 关于新的工作时间问题，她说， “well bevery understaffed(人手不足的 )on somedays， and then those people who are herewill have to take everybodys calls， so lessactual work will get done”，因此，它可能导致 “less productive”。 27 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 在谈到新的销售目标时，她说： “the salestargets could have been better thought out”，接着说， “its a

46、fact that some models outsellothers， and that ought to be reflected in thetargets”。因此，她的意思是不同的产品需要制定不同的销售目标。 28 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 谈到新的培训计划，他说： “its going to be farmore accessible ”很容易实现的。接着说道 ，大学里的项目比较有限，现在不仅仅限于 Internet和数据库管理系统，有了更多的选择。故答案为 “it covers more topics”。 29 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 她说道： “the overse

47、as reps(representa-fives) will particularly appreciate it(thenewsletter)”。它会使得海外代表感到集体的存在。 30 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 文中提到了 morale(士气、精神状态 )，但是，她说 “whether it seems to go up or down”，语气不确定，然而，最后她说， “Id guess thesewont be the last changes， and that well seemore major changes introduced ”即：会有些新的政策方案 (new policies)。
