Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Evaluating employment performance is a key of management skills. The challenge is to give the employment an accurate picture of chief accomplishment, and of the areas in which they need to prove. Both are important: accomplishments because they give the employee a sense of pride in the work and basis on which build future achievement, and areas for improvement, because they give the employee some goals to reach for. Often, employees fear that the evaluation will be a negative experience. This fear alone can endanger defensiveness and tension which result in self-fulfilling prophecy. The supervisor must take pains to alleviate the employees fear and make the evaluation a participatory event. An employee who contributes ideas to his or her evaluation will be much more likely to agree with the outcome and be willing to follow the recommendations. The employees must always bear in mind that the sole legitimate domain of an employee appraisal system it to improve employees performance. While areas needing improvement must be done reviewed, this should always be done in the spirit of discovering goals that the employee can work toward. This holds true for reviewing success as well. While praise for past achievements may be used as award, to endanger loyalty, or for other reasons, at the time of evaluation, the primary reason to look at the persons success is to determine areas in which he or she can continue to excel; perhaps, the most effective way to make the evaluation participatory event is to ask the employee to come prepared for the meeting. The employer and the employee each should carefully review the job description prior to the evaluation meeting and should make notes on areas in which the employee had difficulty or has made a contribution. At the evaluation meeting, the employer must establish a positive and comfortable mood. The employee should be invited to review his or her lists first. Almost always the employees notes will be very similar to what the employer has written. If the employer simply verifies what the employ has said, the employee will be much less anxious about the procedure, and much more likely to work toward the goal. 26. Evaluation is often a negative experience because _A. the employee has to defend himself. B. the employer is going to give the employee some goals that can not be reached. C. The employee has done a bad job. D. The employee is tense, and the employer does not alleviate this. 27. Evaluation should focus on _A. employees achievements and areas to be improved. B. areas that employees need improvement. C. employees sense of pride in the work D. employees accomplishments 728. One way to alleviate employees anxiety is _A. to ask the employee to contribute ideas. B. to praise the employees success and neglect his weakness.C. to set the goals that can be easily attained.D. not to invite the employee to the meeting. 29. The sole legitimate domain of evaluation is to _A. tell employees what they should have done B. tell employee how well they have done C. gain participation in the process D. urge employees to do better in their work 30. The key to participatory evaluation is that both parties _ A. are comfortable in the setting B. contribute ideas and agree on the outcome C. get to talk in a friendly way D. know in which areas the employee had made a contribution Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In producing an estimate, the estimator is required to make many assessments of both a quantitative and qualitative nature. These assessments may be based on recorded date, experience, the prevailing market conditions and a multitude of other factors. Different estimators will obviously weigh these factors differently and hence produce a range of estimate for a particular project. In an “internal” market situation it is clear that if all companies have high standard of accuracy when the skills in choosing a construction method, buying materials and selecting subcontractors will pay their full part in determining the most efficient and hence most economic contractor. If estimating accuracy is low then the incidence of unrealistic bid winning against carefully constructed bids will be higher. Unrealistic bids are likely to lead to loss-making contracts and so not only deprive the “winning contractors” of a profit but also deprive all the more sensible contractors of a potential profit as well. This is unhealthy for the industry and frustrating for company managers. The improvement of general estimating accuracy has taken two forms in recently years. One is the improvement of the process of estimating largely through the disciplines imposed by computer systems. The second is by more widespread and improved education and the training of practicing estimators across the range of companies, who realized that if all companies were staffed by competent estimators general estimating accuracies would rise to benefit of all. The situation when biding for construction work in work in an international market is not so clear mainly due to the lack of data for detailed analysis and research. Nevertheless, the 8importance of high standard of accuracy and the correct choice of construction method is best supported by the attention given to these aspects by those compani
