THE COST OF NOT TRAINING
0 Training is not a cost . It’s an investment . It really doesn’t matter that what we pay
00 for an investment . What is relevant is what we get in return . One of the easiest
34 ways is to put an organization’s future at risk would be to view training primarily as
35 a cost , and therefore provide with substandard training that operates only as a
36 temporary solution . Many companies attempt to quantify as the results of training. For
37 example , a person paid $50,000 a year who wastes just one hour a day costs the
38 organization between $6,250 per year . So if the organization sends 25 people for
39 training and they all receive the same benefit , this would equal from $156,250
40 savings per year . A few of years ago , training , apart from showing employees
41 what the basics of doing the job , was an optional extra for most organizations .
42 Today this is no longer than the case . If we continue doing what we do in the same way ,
43 most of us and our organizations will become obsolete within the five years . This is
44 because of our competitors are helping their staff to become more effective through
45 training . They understand that if the real price of not training is the company falling
behind as a result .

INCREASING CUSTOMERS LOYALTY
0 Customers are not revolutionaries. They are attracted to be the certainty of knowing that
00 what they buy it will be good value for money or will perform a particular task effectively.
34 They are cautious but their loyalty , without once achieved , is the key to business success.
35 Brands can help to create customer loyalty by providing us a signpost to certainty and
36 safety . Ideally , when a customer sees off a product , it leads to a range of positive thoughts
37 so that the product is being bought . Unfortunately , only a small number of products have
38 reached to this level . While everyone in business is aware of the need to attract and
39 retain customers , that they often overlook the second , more important , half of the
40 equation . In the excitement of beating against the competition and securing orders,
41 managers often fail to ensure that the customer remains a customer . It has been
42 estimated that since the average company loses between 10 to 30% of its customers
43 every year and this only recently have organizations started to wake up to these lost
44 opportunities and to calculate the financial implications . Established customers often
45 buy more and, in the addition , they may also provide free word-of-mouth advertising.

练习三
• Read the article below about delegating.

THE ART OF DELEGATION
0 Are you one of these people who don’t trust anyone else to do what needs to be
00 done ? Some managers they can’t bear anyone else to help them in any way . They
34 don’t believe that anyone can do such a job as well as they can . It is not surprising
35 that they get overwhelmed by work and complain that they have so far too much
36 to do, but it could be argued that it is by their own fault. If they learnt to delegate,
37 they would have much more time available. Besides the saving time and freeing
38 them to concentrate on tasks that are important, delegating also benefits to the
39 company. As if managers delegate effectively, their staff will become more skilled and
40 committed. Asking staff to take those decisions improves their efficiency and
41 morale. This will contribute it not only to the success of the team, but to the success
42 of the company as a whole. More importantly, it will also show how good that a
43 person’s managerial skills are, which is useful when candidates are considered for
44 promotion. Trusting other people to do a job properly and in providing them with the
45 opportunity to do so is therefore an essential management skill in all the workplace
of today.

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
0 Many organizations are seeking to take advantage of flatter management
00 structures by moving through to self-managed teams. In our experience, these
34 teams produce us very impressive results. However, as the companies
35 we work with can tell to you, they are neither a ‘soft option ’ nor a ‘quick fix’.
36 self-managed teams operate in dramatically different ways from the other
37 teams and they can only succeed in if the organizational culture, along with a
38 number of systems and procedures, are been re-shaped. Thus, changing to
39 self-managed teams requires not only most top level support but a clear
40 understanding of the concept which at all levels. Often staff who find themselves
41 at the lower levels of a traditional structure imagine that by operating in self-
42 managed teams simply means by that they will be free to do what they want
43 without having to be obey the orders of upper management and this simply is
44 not the case. One of the most important areas we address with our clients
45 is the need to re-educate staff with a regard to the practical meaning of the
Word ‘team’. Such re-education is required from shop floor to board level.


参考答案及答案提示
练习一:34 IS 35 WITH 36 AS 37 CORRECT
38 BETWEEN 39 FROM 40 OF 41 WHAT
42 THAN 43 THE 44 OF 45 IF
详 解:00 that和what不能够同时用作宾语从句的连词,根据句意,应该删去that。
34 不定式作定语,后面已经有谓语动词would ,所以is是多余的。
35 provide是及物动词,经常用于provide…with…结构。
36 quantify是及物动词,所以as是多余的。
37 这一行没有错误。在这个句子中paid $50,000 a year是过去分词短语作后置定语,who wastes just one hour a day是定语从句,句子的谓语是costs 。这个句子比较复杂, 要注意其句子结构分析。
38 between经常和and连用.本句也没有“在…..之间”之意。
39 equal是及物动词。作形容词时经常用于be equal to结构。
40 A few后面可以直接跟上名词,当名词前有his , her , their , the等限定词的时候才要加上of。后面是名词性物主代词的时候也要加上of 。
41 show + 宾语 + 名词/形容词/副词 , what是多余的。
42 这里than是多余的,接了than后面应该接上表示时间的词语。而这里不是时间名词,而是普通名词。表示“不再是这样的情况”。
43 within后面接“泛指”的时间,不能够加the。
44 后面接句子时不能用because of 要用because。
45 that和if不能够同时引导宾语从句,根据句意,应该删去if。

练习二:34 WITHOUT 35 US 36 OFF 37 BEING
38 TO 39 THAT 40 AGAINST 41 CORRECT
42 SINCE 43 THIS 44 CORRECT 45 THE
详 解:00 what是buy的宾语,所以it是多余的。
34 句意为“一旦得到”句中的without为干扰词。
35 并不是为“我们”提供,所以us是多余的,实际上是为customers提供。
36 See off是“为……送行”的意思,用在这里不合适,应该去掉off。
37 这里要用被动语态的一般形式,being多余。
38 Reach是及物动词,它与get to / arrive at / arrive in不同。
39 这是一个主句,上一行的while是从句.所以应该去掉that, 否则没有主句。
40 Beat是及物动词, against是多余的。
41 这一行没有错误。
42 这是一个主语从句。用了since 则句子不可以做主语了。
43 这是一个强调句, this在句中是多余的。
44 这一行没有错误。
45 In addition是固定结构,中间没有定冠词。

练习三:34 SUCH 35 SO 36 BY 37 THE
38 TO 39 AS 40 THOSE 41 IT
42 THAT 43 CORRECT 44 IN 45 ALL
详 解:00 they是多余的,managers是句子的主语。不能同时用两个主语。
34 这里是指任何一种工作,而不是特指某种工作。
35 So far是“到目前为止”的意思,而文中是要用far来加强too much。所以应该删去so,否则不符合句子意思。
36 “……是他们自己的错误/失误”用了by句法不对,意义不通。
37 Besides doing something除了……以外,还……
38 Free somebody do something使某人无拘无束做某事。
39 As if 是“是乎,好像”的意思,而句子要求的是一个条件句。所以as在句子中是多余的,应该删去。
40 Take a decision / take decisions 做决定
41 Contribute to something 对…...有贡献 / 有助于……
42 (1) show + how + 形容词 + a / an + 名词 + 主语 + 谓语 如:show how good a man he is . (2) show + what + a /an + 形容词 + 名词 + 主语 +谓语 如:show what a good man he is .
43 这一行没有错误
44 这里是一个并列结构,In 多余。
45 Workplace 是可数名词,all修饰复数名词,根据句意,应该去掉all。

练习四:34 US 35 TO 36 THE 37 IN
38 BEEN 39 MOST 40 WHICH 41 BY
42 BY 43 BE 44 CORRECT 45 A
详 解:00 move与to连用,表示move的方向。
34 produce后接produce所产生的结果,不接双宾语结构。
35 tell用于tell somebody (something) 或tell something to somebody结构。
36 这里是泛指,应该去掉the 。对于要不要用the的标准是:如果先提出一个整体的概念,然后讲其中的一部分,再讲其它部分是用the。 如:There are 40 students in the class, and 10 of them are boys , the others are girls。
37 Succeed in后面必定有名词或动名词,如果没有,就不可以接上in。
38 这里重复使用了be动词,根据语法应该去掉been。
39 Top是含“极端”意义的形容词,不可以用most修饰。
40 这里用介词短语做后置定语,如果是四六级题,也可以在which后加are。
41 这个句子比较复杂,在staff后面用了一个who引导的定语从句。在imagine和mean后又分别用了一个that引导的宾语从句。这是一个典型的宾语从句中嵌套宾语从句的句子。Who从句修饰staff,句子谓语是imagine,而operating句是用分词短语作mean的主语。Mean后是一个that引导的宾语从句。因此,我们可以看出,operating前的by是多余的,mean后的by也是多余的。
42 参见上一题的解释。
43 这里是主动意义,be是多余的。如果真的构成被动语态的话,那么obey要用过去分词形式。
44 这一行没有错误
45 With regard to是固定结构。
