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
receptionists and secretaries._________(46)"Everyone at Semco,even top managers,meets guests in reception,
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 everyone work hard for everyone else.
__________(50)In other words,Ricardo Sender treats his workers like adults and expects them to act like
adults.And they do.
选项 __________(47)
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C
解析空格前一句是对“save money”的例证，后一句是对“equality”的例证，恰好可以作为A 项所述内容的例证。
本段主要讲Semler如何改造公司的外表，而选项中只有C提到这方面的内容，“员工可 以随意装饰自己的工作空间”放在这里是和前后两句话的并列。因此选C。
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人大海 时，Robin就会立刻跳起来行动”，下一句需要进行解释。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，而下一句应具体解释这种压力如何发 挥作用。选项E“如果有人表现不好，其他人会制止这一局面”与上文联系最好，因此选E。第6部分：完形填空
