26、eading Comperhension 45 Businesses Thrive on Transparency Stakeholders scrutinize business activity. Corporate transparency is changing the face of business. Consumers are now armed with new tools to uncover information about business firms on matters important to them. Corporations have no choice b

27、ut to rethink their values and behaviors. Several factors drive this trend. The success of market economies and globalization: As market capitalism grows globally, the competitive success of firms and nations depends on genuine performance. The rise of knowledge work and business webs that depend on

28、 openness and candor regarding business and production matters, as opposed to firms knowledge, which remains in employees brains and resources. The spread of communications technology, especially the Internet, which challenges traditional business hierarchies by making information pervasive, immedia

29、te, and impossible to control. Demographics and the rise of the Net Generation: Young people today are more aware of the world around them and have a stronger sense of civil values than previous generations, mostly through technologies like the Internet. The rising global civil foundation: Its becom

30、ing more difficult to get away with bad behavior. The corporate world is responding by behaving more responsibly: business integrity is on the rise-and not for just legal or ethical reasons. It makes economic sense. Firms that exhibit ethical values, openness, and candor have discovered that they ca

31、n better compete and profit. Furthermore, firms cant hide their secrets, thanks to information and communications innovations. Firms are transparent whether they want to be or not, and many are opting to make themselves transparent to better serve their shareholders and the public. The international

32、 banana company Chiquita is a firm that has benefited from this transparency. Chiquita saved itself from bankruptcy by becoming a transparent organization with more open, honest, and straightforward communications with all its stakeholders. Furthermore, a dramatic change in the companys image occurr

33、ed: Chiquita has won several awards and is widely cited as a leader in corporate responsibility. Transparency has resulted in a network of stakeholders who scrutinize firms, with or without their knowledge. Firms that dont pay attention to this network open themselves to attack and can be devastated

34、 or destroyed. Those that stay aware of constituent and community values and behave accordingly can develop sustainable business models. Other benefits of transparency include more successful business partnerships and improved employee trust, resulting in lower costs, improved quality, better innova

35、tion, and loyalty. Transparency will also bring about a new breed of executive, one who has integrity, who leads by example, and who has the courage to do the right thing. Transparency demands that the corporation change, from paternalistic, inward-looking, and self-indulgent to engaged, stakeholder

36、 focused, responsive, and responsible. Questions 56 to 60 Mark each statement as either true(T)or false(F)according to the passage. 46 Corporate transparency is changing how business looks. （ A） TRUE （ B） FALSE 47 Nowadays young people sense less acutely than previous generations （ A） TRUE （ B） FALS

37、E 48 Transparency influences a company in terms of human resources （ A） TRUE （ B） FALSE 49 Firms with ethical values, openness, and candor have found that they can better compete and profit. （ A） TRUE （ B） FALSE 50 Transparency will result in higher cost. （ A） TRUE （ B） FALSE 50 Read the following p

38、assage. Choose from the sentences AG the one which best fits each gap of 61 65. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. All these activities may have damaging environmental impacts. For example, land clearing for agriculture is the largest single cause of deforestation: chemical

39、fertilizers and pesticides may contaminate water supplies: more intensive farming and the abandonment of fallow periods tend to exacerbate soil erosion: and the spread of monoculture and use of high-yielding varieties of crops have been accompanied by the disappearance of old varieties of food plant

40、s which might have provided some insurance against pests or diseases in future. 【 R1】 _The United States, where the most careful measurements have been done, discovered in 1982 that about one-fifth of its farmland was losing topsoil at a rate likely to diminish the soils productivity. The country su

41、bsequently embarked upon a program to convert 11 percent of its cropped land to meadow or forest. Topsoil in India and China is vanishing much faster than in A-merica. 【 R2】 _In the rich countries, subsidies for growing crops and price supports for farm output drive up the price of land. The annual

42、value of these subsidies is immense: about $250 billion, or more than all World Bank lending in the 1980s. To increase the output of crops per acre, a farmers easiest option is to use more of the most readily available inputs: fertilisers and pesticides. Fertiliser use doubled in Denmark in the peri

43、od 19601985 and increased in the Netherlands by 150 percent. The quantity of pesticides applied has risen too: by 69 percent in 19751984 in Denmark, for example, with a rise of 115 percent in the frequency of application in the three years from 1981. 【 R3】 _The most dramatic example was that of New

44、Zealand, which scrapped most farm support in 1984. A study of the environmental effects, conducted in 1993, found that the end of fertiliser subsidies had been followed by a fall in fertiliser use(a fall compounded by the decline in world commodity prices, which cut farm incomes). The removal of sub

45、sidies also stopped land-clearing and over-stocking, which in the past had been the principal causes of erosion. Farms began to diversify. The one kind of subsidy whose removal appeared to have been bad for the environment was the subsidy to manage soil erosion. 【 R4】 _Such countries also try and to

46、 introduce new payments to encourage farmers to treat their land in environmentally friendlier ways, or to leave it fallow. It may sound strange but such payments need to be higher than the existing incentives for farmers to grow food crops. Farmers , however, dislike being paid to do nothing. In se

47、veral countries they have become interested in the possibility of using fuel produced from crop residues either as a replacement for petrol(as etha-nol)or as fuel for power stations(as biomass). Such fuels produce far less carbon dioxide than coal or oil, and absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. 【 R5

48、】 _But they are rarely competitive with fossil fuels unless subsidizedand growing them does no less environmental harm than other crops. Questions 61 to 65: A. Soil erosion threatens the productivity of land in both rich and poor countries. B. To reduce environmental damages, government have to adop

49、t various methods. C. They are therefore less likely to contribute to the greenhouse effect. D. Government policies have frequently compounded the environmental damage that farming can cause. E. In less enlightened countries, and in the European Union, the trend has been to reduce rather than eliminate subsidies. F. In the late 1980s and early 1990s some efforts were made to reduce farm subsidies. G. Althoug
