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 ways 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 thouuht 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 is 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 800 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 Semler treats his workers like adults and expects them to act like
adults.And they do.
选项 __________（46）
A:If somone isn't doing his job well,the other workers will not allow the situation to continue.
B:This saved money and brought more equality to the company.
C:And the workers are free to decorate their workspace as they want.
D:He knows everything there is to know about our pumps and how to fix them.
E:Most managers spend their time making it difficult for workers to work.
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B
解析该空格前一句提到Semler撤销了一些非必需的工作岗位，例如秘书和接待员，而后一 句应说明这样做的好处：既经济又平等，即B选项的内容。
该段主要讲的是办公室结构的变化，例如老板和员工的办公室都是用植物隔开的，还 提到了员工的着装也比较自由，因此这里选C较为合适，即员工可以随心所欲地装饰他们自己的办公室。
该段以负责公司油泵维修的Ruhin Agater为例米作说明。该空前一句提到公司的油泵 (pump）出问题的话Rubin Agater会马上采取行动，故推测他是这方面的专家，因此该题选D。
该段第一句说明公司在工作时间方面具有灵活性，员工可以自己决定几点来上班。只 有F项的内容（允许员工使用公司的机器来做自己的项目，而且员工每年至少有三十天的假 期）和这一思路吻合。
该段前两句中提到Semler说这源自同事的压力，它让每一个员工为其他员工努力工 作。因此选A。第6部分：完形填空
