13、, B orC. on your Answer Sheet.The new office?    Where would you rather do your work: a nice coffeehouse or a busy office? More and more, people are able to do their work with a good cup of coffee in the friendly environment of their local coffeehouse. With a powerful laptop and a mobile p

14、hone, it isn't necessary to be tied to a desk any more.    Next time you're out for a coffee, look around you. That man in the comer could be an advertising executive writing an advertisement that you'll be seeing on TV in the near fusture. That woman in a dark coat talking to

15、a man could be discussing his pension. And the young woman typing away could be finishing a business proposal!  it's certainly a new world, and you could join it more easily than you think.    According to a survey, 7.6 million Americans now work at home or away from a traditional

16、 office. Many organizations realize that people like working away from the office and are trying to create incentives to encourage more people to telecommute. As well as making workers happier, it reduces pollution as fewer people travel to work.    But it's not a perfect life. One tel

17、ecommuter, who finds he can concentrate better in a coffeehouse than at home, complained about the lack of electrical outlets. Another person at work on her computer said that she didn't like to feel under pressure to buy something. Both admitted, however, that these were minor difficulties comp

18、ared with the problems they used to face in a big office.    Coffeehouses provide the sense of community that the office used to provide, but without the stress. They may be great places to relax, concentrate, meet friends and business contacts, but they are in business, too, and they rely

25、ses Speak    John Stuart is an executive recruitment specialist who has turned to writing. The result is this book, based on interviews with twenty Chief Executives.    Each top manager-none of them famous names, surprisingly-is given a short chapter, and there is some introducto

26、ry material and a conclusion. This means you can jump from one person to another, in any order, which is good for people who are too busy to read a book form cover to cover. For a management book it isn't expensive, although whether it's good value for money is doubtful.    Some of

27、 the twenty interviewees started their own businesses, while others joined a company and fairly new in their position, and others have had years of experience, though, strangely, Stuart doesn't seem interested in these differences. The interviewees work in everything, from retailing to airlines

28、to software, and it is this variety that forms the main theme of Stuart's book.    I have to say that Stuart's approach annoys me. He rarely stays at a distacne from his interviewees, who are mostly presented in their own, positive words. If this were always the case, at least you

29、would know where you were. But he seems to dislike certain interviewees. As a result, I don't know whether to accept any of his opinions.    It also means that the book gives no clear lessons. At the very least, I expected to learn what makes a successful Chief Executive. But these peo

30、ple seem to share two types of qualities. Some of them are very common, suggesting that anyone can be equally successful, which is definitely not the case. And the other qualities are ones which most successful bosses I've seen definitely do not have. So in the end I'm no wiser about what re

31、ally goes on.    Perhaps I'm being unfair. As long as you don't think about whether you'd like them as friends, and pay no attention to most of the advice they give, the most readable parts are where the bosses describle their route to their present position.    Stuar

32、t seems to think that his book would be useful for people aiming for the top, and that it might even make a few want to start their own company; but, in fact, what they could learn here is very limited Seen as light business reading for a doctor or teacher, though, this book would provide some good

33、entertainment.23、The reviewer suggests that one advantage of the book is that _ .A. it is better value than other management books.B. it does not need to be read right through.C. it is about well-known people.24、The book concentrates on the fact that the twenty executives who are interviewed _. 

34、0;      A. work in a number of different in dustries.        B. strated their companies.        C. have worked for different lengths of time.25、The reviewer cannot accept Stuart's opinions because Stuart _.        A. make

35、s unreasonble complaints about the interviewees.        B. writes too positively about the interviewees.        C. has different attitudes towards different interviewees.26、Reading the book made the reviewer think that _.        A. there ar

36、e certain qualities which all Chief Excutives need.        B. it is difficult to discover how people really run a company.        C. running a company is easier than many people think.27、Which parts of the book did the reviewer most enjoy reading?    

37、;    A. how the interviewees beacme Chief Executives        B. what sort of people the interviewees are        C. the advice given by the interviewees28、The reviewer recommends the book for people who _.        A. intend to set up

50、y on the day it happened. I was in the of rice and she found out somehow where I was and insisted on speaking to me personally. Apparently she'd come into the Feldstrasse office to talk to Bertha Nelsonshe was our Marketing Consultant therebut was treated very impolitely. So the woman, Tina Will

51、iams, found me, told me what had happened and asked me to deal with it. Nelson had insulted her and virtually told her to take her business elsewhere.    I dealt with it because I was on the spot. I told Nelson to come and see me at 2:30 in the manager's office. I was still waiting at

52、3:00. She eventually turned up and offered no apology. She seemed quite proud of being impolite to the customer and me and then fell over. I could smell alcohol and she happily told me that she'd two bottles of wine at lunch time. So, the fact that she was drunk during working hours was the fina

53、l straw. I had no alternative but to sack her then and there. I asked the local manager to send our apologies to Ms Williams and to send her a 500 SFr gift token. I hope that is the end of the matter and it should convince them not to employ any more ex-geography teachers in Zurich.    Mil
