Mr Lee has worked in my company for twelve years and I have much _example_ in recommending him highly for the _21_ of Deputy Production Manager in your new company. He is _22_ qualified and he has a great deal of wxperience which should be very _23_ for the post for which he has applied. Above all, I have long been _24_ by Mr Lees general attitude to his work. Whenever a problem _25_ , he always seeks a positive solution. Moreover, his _26_ to find such a solution _27_ his success as he simply refuses to recognize the _28_ that there is no answer.Mr Lee is also able to turn what appears to be a disadvantage into a chance to _29_ himself and the company.

They encourage _example_ and more experienced employees to help and guide their younger _21_ in performing a particular task. A _22_ respect soon develops and the two employees generally become firm friends. In this way, the younger employee can _23_ all the necessary skills and know-how from his or her experienced colleague. At the same time the latter can_24_ satisfaction and take pride in carrying out the _25_ which he or she has been given. Aware that his or her expertise and experience are _26_ by his or her company and fellow-worker, he or she is able to _27_ even more closely with the company.Whereas a number of European and American companies may ask their employees to write down their suggestions on a piece of paper in order to find out their _28_ and ideas, in Japan the management is more interested in ideas which have not been written down in any _29_ way. For example, a worker may bring a _30_ type of screwdriver to work and use it while he or she thinks the supervisor is not looking. The company is _31_ that the worker does this for a very good reason and motes it. Thus, when the particular employ retires, his or her _32_ will find a screwdriver nearby to use for a similar _33_. In this way, Japanese firm can change staff without any _34_ change in their working _35_.EXAMPLE A. ancient B. senior C. aged D. chief21. A. workmates B. compatriots C. accomplices D. companions22.

Although _example_ , the treatment is far from _21_ , providing a carefully considered assessment of each important concept together with a brief _22_ of how it was developed and later _23_ . Experienced management consultants usually spend their time listening to _24_ and asking them questions, leaving less experienced consultants to rush into particular _25_ with quick answers. In a similar way, this book does not attempt to offer quick and easy _26_ for particular problems _27_ in business management, but it does offer a number of useful _28_ which may enable readers to distinguish good advice from bad in future. For business people searching for _29_ to improve their businesses, the book is particularly useful provided that readers are _30_ to start thinking for themselves rather than _31_ following advice and expecting _32_ answers.The book should be _33_ reading for all intelligent managers who wish to improve their overall _34_ by examining more carefully various _35_ of their profession.EXAMPLE A. small B. quick C. light D. concise21.

It is important to _example_ workers whose hearing may have _21_ because of unacceptable noise in certain _22_ of a factory. Where there is very noisy machinery, supervisors usually _23_ ear protectors to operatives and to those working nearby. However, not all worker are willing to wear ear protectors and often _24_ instructions to do so. Others put them on but then _25_ them unless they are _26_ supervised. Appropriate training and information about the _27_ which can be caused by noise is probably the most effective way of dealing with this problem, provided that it is followed up by _28_ vigilance.Sometimes the ear protectors worn by workers may be inadequate but may not cause any _29_ loss of hearing.
