Passage 1

Nowadays, a standard for measuring power has changed? These changes foretell a new standard for measuring power No longer will a nation's political influence be based solely on the strength of its military forces- Of course, military effectiveness will remain a primary measure of power. But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness. It*s often said that without its military the Soviet Union would really be a third-world nation. The new standard of power and influence that is evolving now places more emphasis on the ability of a country to compete effectively in the economic markets of the world.

America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the purpose of maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess over most of this period was unchallenged? It is ironic that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership.

The competitiveness of America's industrial base is an issue bigger than the Department of Defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutional forces in our society?govemment, industry, and education. That is not to say that the Defense Department will not be a strong force in the process because we will. But we simply cannot be, nor should we be, looked upon by others as the savior of American industry.

Passage Two

Most conceptions of the process of motivation begin with the assumption that behavior is, at least in part, directed towards the attainment of goals or towards the satisfaction of needs or motives. Accordingly, it is appropriate to begin our consideration of motivation in the work place by examining the motives for working. Simon points out that an organization should be able to secure the participation of a person by offering him inducements( 引诱)which contribute in some way to at least one of his goals. The kinds of inducements offered by an organization are varied, and if they are effective in maintaining participation they must necessarily be based on the needs of the individuals.

Maslow examines in detail what these needs are. He points out not only that there are many needs ranging from basic physiological drives such as hunger to a more abstract desire for self-realization, but also that they are arranged in a hierarchy( 等级制度)w hereby the lower order needs must to a large degree be satisfied before the higher order ones come into play.

One of the most obvious ways in which work organizations attract and retain members is through the realization that economic factors are not the only inducement for working as indicated by Morse and Weiss- In line with the social respect and self-realization needs

discussed by Maslow, factors such as associations with others, self-respect gained through the work, and a high interest value of the work can serve effectively to induce people to work.

6- According to Maslow, a work organization is able to motivate people to work by

-------------- ?

A)satisfying their physiological needs

B)satisfying their self-realization needs

C)satisfying hierarchy of their higher order need

D)first satisfying their lower order needs

7.Lower order needs concern a person's ________ .

A)essential physical needs

B)self-respect

C)self-realization

D)working relationships with others

8.Which of the following is NOT a higher need that attracts people to work?

A)Association with others. B) Possibility of earning a good salary.

C) Interest value of the work. D) Cultivation of self-respect.

9- Which of the following statements may be supported by Morse and Weiss?

A)Physiological needs are the most basic.

B)There is a hierarchy of needs that must be met.

C)Economic factors are the greatest inducement.

D)Personal esteem and the gaining of power is the most important factor.

10. Simon points out that ________ ?

A)the needs of individuals range from hunger to self-realization

B)economic factors are not the only inducement for working

C)effective inducements must be based on what individuals want

D)inducements must not be too varied
