ANSWER SHEET THERR.
In his classic novel, “The Pioneers”, James Fenimore Cooper has his
hero, a land developer, with his cousin on a tour of the city he is building. He decribes the broad streets, rows of houses, a bustling metropolis. But his cousin looks around bewildered. All she sees is
a forest. “Where are the beauties and improvements which you were to show me?” she asks. He?s astonished she can?t see them. “Where!
Why everywhere,” he replies. For though they are not yet built on earth, he has built them in his mind, and they are as concrete to him as if
they were already constructed and finished.
Cooper was illustrating a distinctly American trait, future-mindeness:
the ability to see the present from the vantage point of the future;
the freedom to feel unencumbered by the past and more emotionally attached to things to come. As Albert Einstein once said, “Life for
the American is always becoming, never being.” Part Ⅴ Writing (60 min) 259 An English newspaper is currently running a discussion on whether young

PART Ⅰ LISTENING COMPREHENSION SECTION A TALK
When we talk about a modern company, we usually have managers, employees, products, research and development or marketing in mind. However, in reality, a company is not just made up of these elements. There are other things that make a company what it is. This morning, we are going to look at some other aspects of a company. Let?s first take a look
at the offices. The physical surroundings of most modern companies, especially offices are becoming more and more similar. Although there
are some differences from country to country, one office looks much
like another. Office furniture and equipment tends to be similar, desks,
chairs, filing cabinets, computers, etc. “What is important about offices?”you may ask, “What the atmosphere of the work place can often 260
influence the effectiveness of a company?s employees?” Modern
offices are more spacious and better laid, heated, ventilated and
airconditioned than in the past. But of course, this is the feature
that varies from firm to firm, and may be dependant on the size of the company and its cooperate philosophy. In some comanies, the employees work in large, open-plan offices without walls between the departments;
in others, the staff members work more privately in individual offices.
No matter what the office?s law is like, modern companies pay special
attention to the physical surroundings in order to create an atmosphere
conducive to higher working efficiency. Another related point when talking about offices is the work relations with other people at the
place of work. They include relationships with fellow employees,
workers or colleagues. A great part of work or job satisfaction, some people say the major portion, comes from getting on with others at work.
Work relations were also included those between management and
employees. These relations are not always straightforward, particularly as the management?s assessment of how your performing
can be crucial to your future career.
Now I?d like to say a bit more about the relations between management
and employees. There will also be matters about which employees will
want to talk to the management. In small businesses, the boss will
probably work alongside his or her workers. Anything that needs to be
sorted out will be done face to face as soon as the problem arises.
There will be no formal meetings for procedures. But
the larger the business, the less direct contact there will be between employees and
management. Special meetings have to be held and procedures set up to
say when, where, how and what circumstances the employees can talk to
the management. Some companies have specially organized consultive
committees for this purpose. In many countries of the world today,
particularly in large firms, employees join a trade union and ask the union to represent them to the management. Through the union all categories of employees can pass on the complaints they have and try
to get things changed. The process, through which unions negotiate with
management on behalf of their members is called, collective bargaining.
Instead of each employee trying to bargain alone with the company, the
employees join together and collectively put forward their views. Occasionally a firm will refuse to recognize the right of a union to
negotiate for its members, and its dispute over union recognition will 261
arise. Whether there is an agreement, bargaining or negotiation will take place. A compromise agreement may be reached. When this is not
possible, the sides can go to arbitration and bring in a third party
from outside to say what they think should happen. However, sometimes one of the sides decides to take industrial action.
The management can lock out the employees and prevent them from coming
to work. This used to be quite common, but it?s rarely used today.
The main courses of action open to a trade union are
