a: what is important when ??
job-sharing
? find someone you like.
? organize and plan how you share the work.
?
finding someone you like is the most important when you start a job-share. as job sharing is a way for two people to both fill one job, finding someone you like is very important for the success of the scheme. you may find one from your current workplace, or you may find one from outside through all kinds of contacts.
organising and planning how you share the work is also important. if it’s shared responsibility, there is no division of duties but the two people have to split the hours clearly to ensure that the work flows continuously. if it’s divided responsibility, each partner has to be clear about his own case –load or project to focus on during his working hours. if it’s uelated responsibility, the partners have to learn what their separate tasks are in the same department, and each has to do his own share well.
communication is another important factor to consider when you arrange the job-share,
especially for shared responsibility. partners have to communicate well so that jobs are done smoothly. using email, voicemail messages, daily logs and notes are some techniques that help facilitate communication.
b: what is important when??
working from home
? set up an office space in the house.
? plan your working hours and your breaks.
?
?
setting up an office space in the house is important when working from home. this will give you a feel of being in the office and concentrate more on work. in this way, it will be
easy for you to differentiate between work time and private
time and you will not be easily distracted.
it’s also important to plan your working hours and your breaks. make it like in the office and set a timetable. but do not overwork yourself to make up for not being in the office every day. make sure you have a break after you work for a few hours.
in addition, to make working from home really successful, you should make sure colleagues and clients can reach you as though you are in the office. this may help a lot to guarantee the efficientcy.

【篇三：新剑桥商务英语(高级)习题答案】
/p> key to unit 01: the three sectors of the economy
this unit covers a lot of basic vocabulary concerning developed economies much of it in an extract from a well-
known british novel. it also discusses the evolution of the economy of most of the older industrialized countries, with the decline of manufacturing industry and its replacement by services. there is an extract from a magazine interview with an economist and an interview with a british member of parliament on this issue.
1a vocabulary p09
identify the most prominent features in this photograph, which illustrates various important elements of the infrastructure of a modern industrialized country.
the photo clearly shows a large factory (the unilever factory in warrington, england) in the center, with more factories, industrial units, or warehouses in the top right-hand corner. the large factory seems to include some office buildings. also visible are agricultural land (in the background; the land in the foreground doesn’t appear to be cultivated), a river, a railway and several roads, and housing, perhaps with a school in the center of the housing estate top left.
1b reading p10
what is the key point that this extract is making about economies?
the text suggests that most people take for granted the amazing complexity of the economic infrastructure.
1c comprehension p11
1.in lines 4-7, robyn sees examples of all three. what are they? tiny fields (the primary sector), factories (the secondary sector), and railways, motorways, shops, offices, and schools (the tertiary sector).
2.the long sentence from lines 12-28 lists a large number of operations belonging to the different sectors of the economy. classify the 18 activities from the passage primary sector: digging iron ore, mining coal.
secondary sector: assembling, building, cutting metal, laying cables, milling metal, smelting iron, welding metal.
tertiary sector: advertising products, calculating prices, distributing added value, maintenance, marketing products, packaging products, pumping oil, transportation.
3.can you think of three important activities to add to each list (not necessarily in relation to the kettle)?
primary sector: farming (agriculture), fishing and forestry
secondary sector: manufacturing, transforming and processing
tertiary sector: financing, designing, retailing
2a reading p12
1.why do people worry about the decline of manufacturing?
because they think it will lead to unemployment.
2.which activities are as important as the production of goods? designing goods, persuading people to buy them; arts and entertainment.
3.should people worry about this state of affairs?
no, because it is a natural, progressive and inevitable development.
2b listening p13
listen to a short interview with denis macshane, a british member of parliament for the labor party.
does he hold the same view as j. k. galbraith?
denis macshane quite clearly disagrees with galbraith.
1.why does macshane think that manufacturing has a future? because there are many new products that have to be
invented to serve new needs.
2.why does macshane think that manufacturing has a future
in the advanced countries?
because these countries have production technology that requires very little labor input.
3.why, however, is this manufacturing unlikely to solve the problem of unemployment?
precisely because it requires very little labor input.
4.what does macshane mean by ?in theory there should be
no more manufacturing‘ in switzerland? (it is this theory that makes many people argue that manufacturing must move
to ?less-developed‘ countries.)
the conventional theory is that the most important cost in manufacturing is labor, and wages and salaries in switzerland are the highest in the world. (as is the cost of living!)
5.why does he say it is surprising for a british company to be buying swiss goods?
because the pound sterling has, over the years, lost a great deal of value against foreign currencies, especially the swiss franc.
6.what is the reason he gives for the united states still being the richest nation in the world?
it has a successful manufacturing economy, including its computer and car (automobile) industries.
7.match up the following expressions and definitions:
1.to convert itself. b/ to change from one thing to another
2.to serve needs d/ to satisfy people’s desires or requirements
https://www.360docs.net/doc/d414827935.html,bor input a/ manual work
4.to stumble on e/ to discover something by accident
5.to be dubious c/ to be uncertain, disbelieving
2c writing p13
summarize both gallbraith‘s and macshane‘s arguments in a short paragraph of fewer then 50 words.
a possible summary galbraith says that manufacturing industry will inevitably decline in the advanced industrial countries, and be replaced by design, advertising, entertainment, and so on. mashane says that manufacturing will change, and make new products with new technology.
new words in this unit 01
agriculture, business, company, consumer, economic, economy, employment, goods, industry, infrastructure, labour, manufacturing, primary sector, product, raw materials, secondary sector, tertiary sector, unemployment
unit 2 management
management is important. the success or failure of business organizations, government institutions and public sector services, voluntary and non-profit organizations, sports teams, and so on, often depends on the quality of their management. this unit includes a discussion of the qualities required by managers, a definition of management, consideration of the role of the meetings in management, a critical view of the management of one large american multinational company, and an interview with the manager of a british department store, who discusses his job.
before the discussion on the qualities required by managers and the definition of management, maybe we can discuss the cartoon. what‘s the joke? we can assume that mr. farvis runs this company (his name is on the door). what can we say about his managerial skills, or his apparent lack of them?
discuss in pairs for two minutes what exactly managers do, concerning organizing, setting objectives, allocating tasks and resources, communicating, motivating, and so on.
1a discussion
what is management? is it an art or a science? an instinct or a set of skills and techniques that can be taught?
management is a mixture of innate qualities and learnable skills and techniques.
what do you think makes a good manager? which four of the following qualities do you think are the most important?
being decisive: able to make quick decisions
being efficient: doing things quickly, not leaving tasks unfinished, having a tidy desk, and so on
being friendly and sociable
being able to communicate with people -----
being logical, rational and analytical
being able to motivate and inspire and lead people -----
being authoritative: able to give orders
being competent: knowing one’s job perfect ly, as well as the work of one’s subordinates -----
being persuasive: able to convince people to do things
having good ideas -----
are there any qualities that you think should be added to this list?
which of these qualities can be acquired? which must you be born with?
there are clearly no definitive answers as to which of these skills can be acquired.
1b reading
peter drucker, the (austrian-born) american management professor and consultant, is the author of many books about business. this text s ummarizes some of peter drucker‘s views on management. it paraphrases the extended definition of management he gives in one of his management textbooks. as you read about his description of the work of a manager, decide whether the five different functions he mentions require the four qualities you selected in your discussion, or others you did not choose.
what is management?
drucker’s first point (setting objectives and developing strategies) presumably requires qualities j, h, e and a (not necessarily in that order). the second point (organizing) presumably also requires h, e and j. the third point (motivation and communication) embraces f, d, i and probably c. the fourth point (measuring performance) probably requires h and e. the fifth point (developing people) might require h, f
1c vocabulary
complete the following sentences with these words.
achieved; board of directors; communicate; innovations; manageable; performance; resources; setting; supervise
1. managers have to decide how best to allocate the human, physical and capital
2. managers -- logically – have to make sure that the jobs and tasks given to their
3. objectives if you don‘t staff.
4. managers have to their subordinates, and to measure, and try to
5.
6. a top manager whose performance is unsatisfactory can be dismissed by the company‘s
7. adapt to a changing world.
1d vocabulary
the text contains a number of common verb-noun partnerships (e.g. achieve objectives, deal with crises, and so on).
match up these verbs and nouns to make common collocations.
2 meetings
‘one can either work or meet. one cannot do both at the same time.’ (peter drucker: an introductory view of management)
what do you think peter drucker means by this comment?
drucker obviously believes that work is largely something that is done individually, and that meetings are not ‘work’, but merely preparation for it, or consolidation after it.
2a reading p18
read the computer journalist robert x. cringely‘s description of the management style at ibm.
is he positive or negative about ibm‘s working culture?
robert cringely’s history of the personal computer industry is very informative, in places very critical, and also very funny. in this extract, he is extremely negative about ibm, saying that they put much too much effort into management and worrying
about the possibility of making bad decisions, and not enough into producing good, competitively-priced products.
2b comprehension
explain in your own words exactly what robert cringely means in the following sentences.
1. every ibm employee‘s ambition is apparently to become a manager.
it seems as if the people who work for ibm are more interested in being regarded as a manager than as a computer designer or technician
2. ibm makes management the company‘s single biggest business.
ibm’s corporate culture seems to place more emphasis on management than on developing and selling the company’s products.
3. ibm executives manage the design and writing of software. ibm’s managers don’t actually do the work of designing and writing software themselves, but organize and supervise the people who do it.
4. ibm products aren‘t often very competitive.
ibm products are rarely as good or as dheap as similar products made by their competitors
5. the safety net at ibm is so big it is hard to make a bad decision.
there is an extensive hierarchy and a system of checks and controls which
