    B

    Computer programmer David Jones earns ¥35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card (信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David’s firm releases (推出) two new games for the fast throwing computer market each month.

    But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage (抵押贷款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,” he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.

    “Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.” David added: “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”

    60. In what way is David different from people of his age?

    A. He often goes out with friends.B. He lives with his mother.

    C. He has a handsome income. D. He graduated with six O-levels.

  • 第2题:

    1 Oliver Hoppe has been working at Hoopers and Henderson accountancy practice for eighteen months. He feels that

    he fits in well, especially with his colleagues and has learnt a lot from them. However, he feels that the rules and

    regulations governing everyday activities and time keeping are not clear.

    Oliver does not get on well with his line manager, David Morgan. There appears to be a clash of personalities and

    reluctance on David Morgan’s part to deal with the icy atmosphere between them after David was asked by one of

    the accounting partners to give Oliver a job. For the past three months Oliver has gone to lunch with his fellow workers

    and always returned to work with them or before them. In fact they all have returned to work about ten minutes late

    on several previous occasions. After the third time, Oliver was called into David Morgan’s office and given an oral

    warning about his time keeping.

    Oliver was not permitted to argue his case and none of the other staff who returned late were disciplined in this way.

    On the next occasion the group was late returning from lunch, David Morgan presented Oliver with a written warning

    about his time keeping.

    Yesterday, Oliver was five minutes late returning to work. His colleagues returned after him. David Morgan gave Oliver

    notice and told him to work until the end of the week and then collect his salary, the necessary paperwork and to

    leave the practice.

    There is a partner responsible for human resources. Oliver has come to see the partner to discuss the grievance

    procedures against David Morgan for his treatment and about what Oliver regards as unfair dismissal.

    Required:

    (a) Describe the six stages of a formal disciplinary procedure that an organisation such as Hoopers and

    Henderson should have in place. (12 marks)


    正确答案:

    1 Overview
    A grievance occurs when an individual thinks that he or she has been wrongly treated by colleagues or management, especially
    in disciplinary matters. An unresolved feeling of grievance can often lead to further problems for the organisation. The purpose of
    procedures is to resolve disciplinary and grievance issues to the satisfaction of all concerned and as early as possible.
    If a grievance perceived by an employee is not resolved, then conflict and discontent can arise that will affect the work of the
    individual and the organisation. Accountants as managers need to be aware of the need to resolve grievances satisfactorily and
    professionally.
    The fundamental basis of organisational disciplinary and grievance procedures is that they must be explicitly clear and accessible
    to all.
    Part (a):
    An official and correctly applied disciplinary procedure has six steps which should be followed in the correct order and applied
    equitably.
    The Informal Talk.
    This is the first step. If the disciplinary matter is of a minor nature and the individual has had until this occasion a good record,
    then an informal meeting can often resolve the issue.
    Reprimand or Oral Warning.
    Here the manager draws the attention of the employee to unsatisfactory behaviour, a repeat of which could lead to formal
    disciplinary proceedings.
    Official or Written Warning.
    A written warning is a serious matter. It draws the attention of the offending employee to a serious breach of conduct and remains
    a recorded document on the employee’s employment history.
    Such written documents can be used as evidence if further action is taken, especially dismissal.
    Suspension or Lay-off.
    If an offence is of a serious nature, if the employee has repeated an earlier offence or if there have been repeated problems then
    an employee may be suspended from work for a period of time without pay.
    Demotion.
    This is a situation where an employee is demoted to a lower salary or position within an organisation. This is a very serious step
    to take and can be regarded as a form. of internal dismissal. This course of action can have negative repercussions because the
    employee concerned will feel dissatisfied and such feelings can affect their own work and that of others.
    Dismissal.
    This is the ultimate disciplinary measure and should be used only in the most extreme cases. As with demotion, the dismissal of
    a staff member can lead to wider dissatisfaction amongst the employees.
    The employee may nominate a representative at any stage of the procedure, especially at the more serious stages.

    Too Late to Regret It
    When I was a junior,I met a second-year student in my department. He wasn't tall or good-looking,but he was very nice,attractive and athletic.He had something that I admired very much .He was natural,warm,and sincere.
    I disregarded(不顾)my parents' disapproval. We were very happy together. He picked me up from my dorm every morning,and after class we would sit alongside the stream that ran through campus , or sunbathe(晒太阳)on the lawn. At night he would walk me back to my dorm .He came from a poor family,but in order to make me happy,he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me .Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model, and the girls envied(妒忌)me. He wasn't a local , but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we had a future together.
    However,when I got a part-time job during the summer vacation,people began giving me a lot of pressure,saying that a pretty,intelligent girl like me should find a better guy to spend time with .This was also what my family thought.He spent the summer in his hometown,so I was all by myself. When he got back,I began finding faults with him.But his big heart and warmth soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away .However,I had no idea how badly I had hurt him and that things would get worse.
    I had a good part-time job off campus that paid pretty well.With my good performance at school,I also got admission to graduate school at one of China's best universities.He,on the oth- er hand,did not do so well at school or at work .I had to worry about his living expenses,job and scores。
    Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him.Then we had a quarrel last June .He was in great pain,and my cold words and bad moods started turning him away.
    Graduation time was drawing near. He said that he couldn't put up with me anymore,and he said he wanted to go back to his hometown.I was shocked and looked at him in despair. True love happens only once,but I found it out too late.

    When did the author fall in love with the boy?
    A: After she had a quarrel with him.
    B: When she was a junior.
    C: When she was a second-year student.
    D: After she found a part-time job.

    答案:B
    解析:
    本题问“什么时候作者爱上了这个男孩?”文章第一段和第二段提到了作者爱上男孩的时间,即:大学三年级的时候。其他时间与事实不一致。


    本题问“他做了什么使她高兴?”本题是细节题。文章第二段中提到“为了要使我快乐,他向他的朋友借钱为我买礼物并请我吃饭。”


    本题问“谁建议她与他分手?”文章第五段第一句提到“几乎我所有的同事和朋友劝告我和他分手。”因此选项C“她的同事和朋友”符合题意。


    本题问“为什么他离开了她?”文章最后一段提到“他说他无法忍受我,他说他想要回家乡。”显然这是原因所在。所以选项A“他再也无法忍受了”符合题意。


    本题问“当得知他将离开她时,她……”。文章最后一段提到“我感到吃惊,我意识到真正的爱只发生一次,但我发现的已经太晚。”由此可见,作者汁这件事情的感觉是痛苦的。因此选项D“非常痛苦”符合题意。

    Too Late to Regret It

    When I was a junior,I met a second-year student in my department. He wasn't tall or good-looking,but he was very nice,attractive and athletic.He had something that I admired very much. He was natural,warm,and sincere.
    I disregarded(不顾)my parents' disapproval. We were very happy together.

    However,I got a part-time job that paid pretty well during the summer vacation.
    With my good performance at school,I also got admission to graduate school at one of China's best universities.He,on the other hand,did not do so well at school or at work.I had to worry about his living expenses,job and scores.
    Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him. Then we had a quarrel last June.He was in great pain,and my cold words and bad moods started turning him away.

    B:When she was a junior.
    C:When she was a second-year student.
    D:After she found a part-time job.

    答案:B
    解析:
    句子意思是“什么时候女孩爱上了男孩”。这个在文章开篇就提及:When I was a junior,I met a second一year student in my department…I disregarded my parents' disapproval.We were very happy together.junior的意思是“大学三年级学生”。freshman:大一学生;sophomore:大二学生;senior:大四学生。
    句子意思是“男孩做了什么让女孩很高兴”。文章第二段提及:in order to make me happy,he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me.
    句子意思是“谁建议女孩和男孩分手呢”。文章中提及:Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him.
    句子意思是“为什么男孩离开了她呢”。文中提及:He said that he couldn't put up with me anymore.注意put up with与bear的意思相同,都是指“忍受”。
