i cant afford it,” said shen jie, a migrant worker at a construction site in dongzhimen, east beijingshen found it hard to remember when he last watched a film, or what it was about“it must be 10 years ago,” he saidthough they are the builders of the nations theaters and cinemas, a limited cultural life is common among chinas 120 million migrant workersshen arrived from east chinas zhejiang province in1991life was better then; money seemed to come more easily“now, as more and more workers are rushing to the capital, its too hard to earn money, and none of us dare think about watching films,” he saidfor many like shen, the dream is earning enough to pay for their childrens education so they can find jobs in the cities and say goodbye to the hardships of rural life foreverthis drives them to work hard and save as much as possiblewith a monthly salary of less than 500 yuan, shen has to send money home to his little son and silver-haired parentsin shens small dormitory, which he shares with seven other co-workers, there is a well-thumbed copy of a magazine published in 1998a recent survey by local media revealed that 80 percent of migrant workers spent their spare time sleeping and chatting because of exhaust and a lack of incomethe same survey found that 47 percent of migrant workers have to work for more than 10 hours a dayaround 40 percent do not even possess a book, and nearly 60 percent say they are dissatisfied with their cultural lifelike many of shens co-workers, reading newspapers and hanging out in beijings streets provide evening entertainment from china daily9we can infer from the passage “a world without thieves” is a film that _ atalks about experiences of a group of thieves bdeals with the life of migrant workerscexplains how to catch thieves on trains dattracts many migrant workers10as for the migrant worker, shen jie, _alife was harder when he first came to work in beijingbhe enjoyed a lot of films ten years agochis wish was to pay for his sons education dthe capital is too hard a place for him to make any money11according the passage, which of the following is true _athe workers enjoy reading very much, no matter how old the magazines are bthe workers have so little to read that they often read the same magazine again and againcthe workers enjoy magazines because they are easy to understanddthe workers think highly of the copy of the magazine published in 199812the main idea of this passage is that migrant workers _ alack cultural experiencesbare not very well-paid in beijing care looked down upon by city people dneed the governments attention参考答案c) dcba .（201*四川卷） in business, theres a speed difference: its the difference between how important a firms leaders say speed is to their competitive (竞争的) strategy（策略）and how fast the company actually moves. the difference is important regardless of industry and company size. companies fearful or losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.in our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track, whats more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines ,averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-years period.how did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better ? they thought differently about what “slower “and “faster” mean. firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation 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, high performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary . they became more open to idea and discussion. they encouraged new ways of thinking. and they allowed time to look and learn. by contrast (相比而言). performance suffered at firms that moved falt all the among their employer , 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.57 . what does the underlined part “gain an edge ” in paragraph 2 mean ? a. increase the speed. b. get an advantage. c. reach the limit. d. set a goal58. the underlined part “the laws of business physics” in paragraph 3 means _. a. spending more time and performing worse. b. spending more time and performing better c. spending less time and performing worse d. spending less time and performing better 59. 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 strategic speed take time to make necessary changes. d. firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.60. where could be the last title for the text? a. improve quality? serve better. b. deliver value? plough ahead. c. reduce time? move faster. d. need speed? slow down.【答案】bdcd阅读理解in the more and more competitive service industry, it is no longer enough to promise customer satisfaction. today, customer “delight” is what companies are trying to achieve in or order to keep and increase market share.it is accepted in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a number of researches, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people: those treated badly will tell their tales of woe to up to 20 people, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal new lunges for customer care have come when people can obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the internet. for example , many companies now have to invest(投资)a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the “phone rage”caused by delays in answering calls ,being cut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.“many people do not like talking to machines,” says dr . storey senior lecturer in marketing at city university business school. “banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with them .the aim is to make the customer feel they know you and that you can trust the sort of comfortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager.” recommended ways of creating customer delight include: under-promising and over-delivering (saying that a repair will be calmed out within five hours ,but getting it done within two );replacing a faulty product immediately : throwing in a gift voucher(购物礼卷)as an unexpected “thank you” to rental customers ;and always returning calls ,even when they are complaints. aiming for customer delight is all very well , but if services do not reach the high level promised , disappointment or worse will be the result . this can be eased by offering an apology and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for example,” i know how you must feel”), and possible solutions (replacement , compensation or whatever fames suggests best meets the case).airlines face some of the toughest challenges over customer care. fierce competition has convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather, unclaimed luggage and technical problems. for british airways staff, a winning telephone style is considered vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times. they are trained to answer quickly, with their name, job title and a “we are here to help” attitude. the company has invested heavily in information technology to make sure that information is available instantly on screen. british airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service. customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as we do as we please”. on the other hand, the more customers are promised, the greater the risk of disappointment.( ) 1. we can learn from paragraph
