Working together to plan for the growth and maintenance of something is a basic human need. People are gregarious by nature: our nature is to nurture. Work, with its limited ability to financially compensate employees, provides an unending source for intrinsic motivators and rewards. Teamwork pulls and puts people together to create and produce. It becomes a self-fulfilling reward system. It provides the spirit, enthusiasm, fun, “braintrust” and environment for creative conflict and competition that drives people to produce and excel.
Motivated employees, like motivated customers, are an investment for any company. In the final analysis, all businesses are customer service businesses, and all employees are emissaries. When checking its viability in the marketplace, every business must look at its responsibilities on both bottom lines: financial resources and human resources.
听力原文： Personal interviewing is most effective when all the people to be interviewed are located in a relatively small geographical area. Otherwise, the time and expense spent in traveling from one person to another makes this type of interviewing economically impractical. Personal interviewing is usually used when the information needed is too complex to be gathered by another technique. For example, a problem being studied may require the interviewer to probe beyond the more superficial answers that might be obtained with another method.
It is sometimes assumed that personal interviewing is the most accurate of all survey research techniques. Although personal interviewing may be accurate in many case, human errors may prevent a researcher from obtaining valid results. Questions perceived by the interviewee as an invasion of privacy or threatening in any way will probably produce false or partially true answers. Also, since the interviewer must interpret the respondent's statements, a certain amount of information loss results even though the respondent may be answering truthfully
In spite of the problems, at least two major advantages are provided by this research technique. First, the alert interviewer can generally tell if the respondent is being truthful or if he or she is giving superficial or untrue responses. Second, the interviewer can rephrase questions, give more explanation, or probe more deeply if the initial questions do not produce the information desired. As a result, the information gleaned should be more accurate than that provided by interviews where no one is present to clarify questions or to interpret answers.
What will be most effective about personal interviewing？
A．When people to be interviewed are located in a big area.
B．When people to be interviewed are located in a mountain.
C．When people to be interviewed are located in a small area.
D．When people to be interviewed are located abroad.
Dear Sir,
After reading some of the letters printed in this newspaper, I'm beginning to believe that the carbon monoxide in this city's air during the past year has already affected some people's ability to think straight.
The proposal for limiting the use of ears seems fair and reasonable to me. I can't feel that it will produce any real suffering on the part of motorists, who sometimes seem to put their rights to drive above the public's right to breathe.
Surely everyone understand that it would be worse to have to wear gas masks in our city than to ride buses or trains. After all, breathing is necessary, and we might all breathe more easily ff we could reduce the amount of pollution in our air.
The letters referred to in the first paragraph must have ______.
A．complained that carbon monoxide had affected their own ability to think
B．complained that carbon monoxide had affected other people's ability think
C．opposed the limiting of the use of cars
D．proposed the limiting of the use of cars

Living Standards Around the World
The differences in living standards around the world are vast. In 1993， the average American had an income of about $25，000. In the same year， the average Mexican earned $7，000， and the average Nigerian earned $1，500. Not surprisingly， this large variation in average income is reflected in various measures of the quality of life. Changes in living standards over time are also large. In the United States， incomes have historically grown about 2 percent per year （after adjusting for changes in the cost of living）. At this rate， average income doubles every 35 years. In some countries， economic growth has been even more rapid. In Japan， for instance， average income has doubled in the past 20 years， and in South Korea it has doubled in the past 10 years.
What explains these large differences in living standards among countries and over time？ The answer is surprisingly simple. Almost all variation in living standards is attributable to differences in countries" productivity—— that is， the amount of goods and services produced from each hour of a worker"s time. In nations where workers can produce a large quantity of goods and services per unit of time， most people enjoy a high standard of living; in nations where workers are less productive， most people must endure a more meager existence. Similarly， the growth rate of a
nation"s productivity determines the growth rate of its average income.
The fundamental relationship between productivity and living standards is simple， but its implications are far-reaching. If productivity is the primary determinant of living standards， other explanations must be of secondary importance. For example， people might think that labor unions or minimum-wage laws contributed to the rise in living standards of American workers over the past century. Yet the real hero of American workers is their rising productivity.
The relationship between productivity and living standards also has great implications for public policy. When thinking about how any policy will affect living standards， the key question is how it will affect our ability to produce goods and services. To improve living standards，policymakers need to raise productivity by ensuring that workers are well educated， have the tools needed to produce goods and services， and have access to the best available technology.
Which of the following countries has enjoyed the fastest economic growth in history？ 查看材料
A.Mexico.
B.The United States.
C.Japan.
D.South Korea.

Passage One
There is an English saying," Laughter is the best medicine." Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it bas on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body.. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened-to different radio programs. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
31. Doctors have proved the following EXCEPT that ______.
A. smiling does good to health
B. laughter can be tolerated
C. there is a way to reduce pain
D. laughter can work the muscles in the feet

Being assertive (过分自信) is being able to communicate with other people clearly. If you felt that you had expressed what was important to you and allowed the other person to respond in their own way then, regardless of the final outcome, you behaved assertively. It is important to remember that being assertive refers to a way of coping with confrontations (对抗). It does not mean getting your own way every time or winning some battle of wits against another person. In practice assertive behaviour is usually most likely to produce a result which is generally acceptable to all concerned, without anyone feeling that they have been unfairly treated.
Assertiveness is often wrongly confused with aggression (侵犯行为). An aggressive confrontation is when one or both parties attempt to put forward their feelings and beliefs at the expense of others. In an assertive confrontation, however, each party stands up for their personal rights, but each shows respect and understanding for the other' s viewpoint.
The reason why assertiveness may not come naturally is that we often tend to believe that we must talk around a subject rather than be direct, or that we must offer excuses or justifications for our actions.
In fact we all have a right to use assertive behaviour in a variety of situations. We are often schooled early in life to believe that sometimes our own need to express ourselves must take secondary place. For example, in dealing with those in privileged positions such as specialists, we often feel that speaking assertively is, in some way, "breaking the rules". Everybody has certain basic human rights, but often we feel guilty about exercising them.
According to the passage, an assertive person ______.
A．makes other people feel unfairly treated
B．puts forward his ideas at the expense of others
C．does not show respect to other people
D．speaks out what he wants to say forcefully
