they thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value) . simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. but that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.in our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. they became more open to ideas and discussion. they encouraged new ways of thinking. and they allowed time to look back and learn. by contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improve efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didnt develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. that kind of strategy must come from the top.28. what does the underlined part “gain an edge” in paragraph 2 mean? a. increase the speed.b. reach the limit. c. get an advantage.d. set a goal.29. the underlined part “the laws of business physics” in paragraph 3 refers to _ . a. spending more time and performing worse b. spending more time and performing better c. spending less time and performing better d. spending less time and performing worse30. what can we learn from the text? a. how fast a firm moves depends on how big it is . b. how competitive a firm is depends on what it produces. c. firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit. d. firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.31. what could be the best title for the text? a. improve quality? serve better. b. need speed? slow down. c. deliver value? plough ahead. d. reduce time? move faster.dfinally, a cell phonethats a phonewith rates as low as $3.75 per week!“ well , i finally did it . i finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. my kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down, and i was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. but when i went to the cell phone store, i almost changed my mind. the phones all have cameras, computers and a global-positioning something or other thats supposed to spot me from space. goodness, all i want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! the people at the store werent much help. they couldnt understand why someone wouldnt want a phone the size of a postage stamp. and the rate plans! they were confusing, and expensive and the contract lasted for two years! id almost given up until a friend told me about her new jitterbug phone. now, i have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch with a phone i can actually use. ”affordable plans that i can understand and no contract to sign! unlike other cell phones, jitterbug has plans that make sense. why should i pay for minutes im never going to use?
