| Trevor, C. O., Lansford, B. and Black, J. W., 2004, "Employee turnover (人事变更) and job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion", Journal of Armchair Psychology, vol. 113, no.1, pp. 56-64. In this article Trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect of job performance, turnover rates and employees" job attitude. The authors use data gained through organizational surveys of blue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organizational reward plans. The article is useful as Trevor et al. suggest that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and a variety of differences in employees" job attitude and performance. The main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted to mid-level management, thus the authors indicate that further, more extensive research needs to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee turnover and job performance. As this article was published in a professional journal, the findings can be considered reliable. It will be useful additional information for the research on pay structures. |

| It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one-word answers. "Where are you going?" "Places." "When will you be back?" "Sometime." "Who will you be with?" "People." That means that the days of your children bounding in the front door with the details of their day are over. They are breaking away from you so that they"ll be able to stand on their own as a young adult. Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children"s closeness. Of course you miss those conversations and friendly talks. Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a young adult, they"ll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice. But in order to determine who they are right now they need to separate from you. Your job, however, is to keep them safe-and that requires knowing there they are and who they are with. Let them know clearly that it"s not because you want to dominate their life and control them; it"s because it"s a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another. When they"re home and sit down to eat a meal, sit down with them. You need to open up to them about your life. Tell them of an interesting incident at the office, let them in on a bit of family gossip (闲谈), discuss a piece of news with them. They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of your life. By letting a teen in on your life, they just may let you in of theirs. |

| Advertising can have both negative and positive effects. Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality on high price because of an advertisement. For example, some advertisers have appealed to (迎合) people"s desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage (英里数). Some of the products work. Others are worthless and a waste of consumers" money. Sometimes advertising is misleading on purpose. A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to dieters (节食者) with the message that there were fewer calories (热量单位, 大卡) in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic (适合于节食的). But there were the same number of calories in every loaf. On the positive side, Advertising may sometimes respond to a consumer"s real needs. Consider fire insurance (保险). Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the buy of fire insurance a worthwhile investment (投资) for most people. If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising. Each consumer must be clear about her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision. |
| 1. The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that _____. |
| [ ] |
| A. the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same B. thin slices of bread could contain more calories C. the loaf was cut into regular slices D. the bread was not real bread |
| 2. The passage tells us that _____. |
| [ ] |
| A. advertisements often force consumers into buying things they don"t need B. the buying motives of consumers are controlled by advertisements C. sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needs D. fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment |
| 3. It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should _____. |
| [ ] |
| A. be familiar with various advertising skills B. think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisements C. know the nature of advertisements is cheating D. avoid buying products described in the advertisements |
| 4. The passage is mainly about _____. |
| [ ] |
| A. ways to protect the interests of the consumer B. how to make a wise buying decision C. the function of advertisements in increasing sales D. the positive and negative aspects of advertising |

| Michael, a normal American, stays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal computer terminal in order to connect with the office. After work he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesn"t talk to any other human beings, and he doesn"t see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his life style is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from communicating with our fellow human beings. The world of business is one area in which technology is separating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their job at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they"re dealing with. Also, the way employees are paid will change. Workers" salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts. Another area in which technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms. |
| 1. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means _____. |
| [ ] |
| A. Michael is a person full of imagination and his dreams can come true B. Michael is not a real person but the life style does exist C. Michael has ambitions but he can"t make his dreams come true D. Michael is full of imagination and his life style is common nowadays |
| 2. What does the author discuss in the last paragraph? |
| [ ] |
| A. Technology is changing ways of entertainment. B. People will never go to the concert in future. C. How to borrow videotapes at home. D. How to see a movie at home. |
| 3. What is the main idea of the passage? |
| [ ] |
| A. We may no longer need to communicate with other people. B. Modern technology seems to be separating people. C. We may no longer need to work in the office. D. Modern technology makes it possible for us to work at home. |
