问题 共用题干Semco

At 21,Ricardo Semler became boss of his father's business in Brazil,Semco,which sold parts for ships.
Semler Junior worked like a madman,from 7:30 a. m.until midnight every day.One afternoon,while touring
a factory in New York,he collapsed.The doctor who treated him said,"There's nothing wrong with you.But
if you continue like this,you'll find a new home in our hospital." Semler got the message.He changed the
way he worked.In fact,he changed the way his employees worked too.
He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went
wrong. He allowed them to set their own salaries,and he cut all the jobs he thought were unnecessary,like re--
ceptionists and secretaries._______________ (46)"Everyone at Semco,even top managers,meets guests in recep-
tion,does the photocopying,sends faxes,types letters and dials the phone."
He completely reorganized the office:instead of walls,they have plants at Semco,so bosses can't shut
themselves away from everyone else._______________ (47)As for uniforms,some people wear suits and others
wear T-shirts.
Semler says,"We have a sales manager named Rubin Agater who sits there reading the newspaper hour
after hour. He doesn't even pretend to be busy.But when a Semco pump on the other side of the world fails
and millions of gallons of oil are about to spill into the sea,Rubin springs into action.______________(48)
That's when he earns his salary. No one cares if he doesn't look busy the rest of the time."
Semco has flexible working hours;the employees decide when they need to arrive at work.The employees
also evaluate their bosses twice a year.______________ (49)
It sounds perfect,but does it work?The answer is in the numbers:in the last six years,Semco's revenues
have gone from$35 million to $212 million.The company has grown from eight hundred employees to
3,000.Why?
Semler says it's because of"peer pressure".Peer pressure makes employees work hard for everyone
else._______________ (50)In other words,Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults and expects them to act
like adults.And they do.
选项 __________（46）A:This saved money and brought more equality to the company.B:He knows everything there is to know about our pumps and how to fix them.C:And the workers are free to decorate their workspace as they want.D:Most managers spend their time making it difficult for workers to work.E:If someone isn't doing his job well,the other workers will not allow the situation to continue.F: Also,Semco lets its workers use the company's machines for their own projects,and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year.
答案A
解析上一句说到“他允许他们自己制定薪水，并削减他认为不必要的像接待员和秘书这样 的工作”，此处应该解释这种做法的原因。选项A说明“这样可以减少开支，并给公司带来更 多平等”，与上下文联系最紧密。 本段主要讲Semler如何重新布置公司，而选项中只有C项提到这方面的内容，且放在 这里和前后两句话并列。 上一句说到“但如果Semco在地球另一端的油泵坏了，上百万加仑的油即将注入大海 时，Robin就会立刻跳起来行动”，这一句需要说明Robin怎样行动，因此选项B“他了解关于我 们公司油泵的任何事情，并能修理”最符合题目要求。 这一段讲述了Semco给予员工的自由，而选项中只有F项“Semco也允许员工用公司的机器做自己的项目，并且一年至少能休假30天”与此内容相关，因此选F。 上一句说到同事的压力让员工努力为他人工作，这一句应具体解释这种压力如何发挥 作用，因此选E。第6部分：完形填空
