A
Seated behind the front desk at a New York firm, the receptionist was efficient, stylishly dressed, the firm's newest employee had a pleasant telephone voice and a natural charm that put clients at ease. The company was pleased: Clearly, this was a person who took considerable pride in personal appearance. David King, the receptionist, is unusual, but by no means unique. Just as all truck drivers and construction workers are no longer necessarily men, all secretaries and receptionists are no longer automatically women. The number of men in women-dominated fields is still small and they haven't attracted the attention that has often followed women advancing into
male-dominated fields, but men are moving into more and more jobs that have traditionally been held by women.
B
What kinds of men venture into these so-called women's fields? All kinds. I don't know of any define answers I'd be comfortable with, explains Joseph Pleck, Ph. D of the Wellesley College Center for Research on women. Samo Ormont, for example, a thirty-year-old nurse at Boston hospital, went into nursing because the army had trained him as a medical worker. "I found that work very interesting," he recalled, "and when I got out of the service it just seemed natural for me to go into something medical. I wasn't interested in be- coming a doctor."
Thirty-five-year-old David King, an out-of-work actor, found a job as a receptionist because he was having trouble landing roles in Broadway plays and he needed to pay the rent.
C
In other words, men enter "female" jobs out of the same consideration for personal interest and economic necessity that motivate anyone looking for work. But similarities often end there. Men in female-dominated jobs are conspicuous. As a group, their work histories differ in most respects from those of their female colleagues, and they are frequently treated differently by the people with whom they are in professional con- tact.
D
The question naturally arises: Why are there still approximately ninety-nine female secretaries for every one male? There is also a more and more serious issue. Most men don't want to be receptionists, nurses, secretaries, or sewing workers. To put simply, these are not generally considered very masculine jobs. To choose such a line of work is to invite ridicule.
"There was kidding in the beginning," recalls Ormont. "Kids coming from school ask what I am, and when I say 'A nurse', they laugh at me. I just smile and say, 'You know, there are female doctors, too./

三、PART TWO(总题数：1，分数：5.00)
Profit
Entrepreneurship is directly responsible for production The business person (entrepreneur) takes a cue from consumers in deciding what they want—or, in the case of a new product (8) Profit means different things to different people. According to some public opinion polls, many people are not sure what it is, but they are sure (9) Workers may look at profit as an unfairly large payment to the entrepreneur that deprives them of a higher wage. The business person thinks of profit (10) During negotiations before the settlement of the second baseball strike in August, 1985, the Players' Association claimed the owners had made profits of $ 91 million, an accounting firm said owner profits were $ 43 mil- lion, and the owners insisted they had lost $ 9 million. The truth was that all three were correct. The disparity in the figures was due to the fact that each group was defining profit differently. Let us now see if we can develop a more exact definition of what profit is.
Gross profit is the difference between what a business firm sells its product for end what it costs to produce that product. The merchant buys $200,000 worth of merchandise during the year and sells it for $270,000. His gross profit is $ 70,000. The percentage difference between his cost and the selling price is 35 percent, and he calls this markup. Net profit is (11) —rent, wages, and interest—and setting aside money to allow for the loss due to depreciation (wearing out) of capital. Our merchant has to subtract from his gross profit his payments for rent ($ 6,0O0), wages ($ 20,000), interest on money borrowed ($1,000), repairs and upkeep ($1,000), taxes ($1,000), electricity and other expenses $1,000. Expenses for operating the business come to $ 30,000. Gross profit is $ 70, 000, and net profit is $40,000.
Economists have a narrower definition of what constitutes profit. They are concerned with payment for all the resources that have gone into production (12) , like those listed above, or from inside the business.
A what profit really means
B it is too large and represents too much of the consumer's dollar
C as the difference between total revenue and total cost
D what the business person has left after paying expenses
E what they might want
F production
G whether they come from outside the business
（分数：5.00）
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：E）
解析：what they might want与what they want形成对应关系，所以巨是对的。

填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：A）
解析：what profit really means与what it is对应，即公众不知道什么是利润，但知道利润意味着什么。

填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：C）
解析：think of...as...(把……想作……)是一种常见的用法。

类似于cosider／treat...as
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：D）
解析：这个what从句是系动词is后面的表语从句。

填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：G）
解析：填人的是用whether引导的让步状语从句。

“whether they come from outside the business”四、PART THREE(总题数：1，分数：6.00)
General Managers (GMs) are a part of middle management and play a key role in organisations. Depending on the size of the organisation a GM can be, for example, a senior manager responsible for a division or a subsidiary company or a less senior manager in charge of a department or section. They are a link or a less senior manager in charge of a department or section. They are a link between top management, who make policy decisions, and junior managers, who carry out these policies. Top management work through GMs and they can make the difference between good and bad policy and a motivated or demotivated workforce. The relationships GMs have with their bosses, subordinates and each other are very important for the success or failure of an organisation. GMs within the same organisation need to have good working relationships with each other in order to apply policies in the same way throughout the organisation. At the same time, GMs are also required to make broad policies into plans that suit their particular divisions or departments. In a company conflicts between the activities of various departments will inevitably arise, and it is the job of the GM to act as a link between the departments. Research has shown that the personality of a GM is very important in helping to resolve these departmental problems. The research has also shown that (as far as the personalities of GMs are concerned) GMs are ambitious people who have balanced temperaments and are good with people. In addition, good GMs combine these personality traits with a detailed knowledge of their business. They work hard to fit into and be accepted by the culture of their particular organisation. It has also been demonstrated that high performing GMs have three sets of skills.
First, they need agenda-setting skills, so that they can identify and convince others of the most important objectives of a project. Second, GMs need to develop networking skills. Good GMs deliberately attempt to develop contacts-within and outside the organisation. Such a network of contacts means that the GM is aware of issues and can act on them quickly. To develop agenda-setting and networking skills, it is essential for a GM to be skilful in dealing with people. This is particularly important as they spend such a large amount of time working with employees at all levels of a company.
In terms of work, tasks and attitude, the research has shown that managerial work is done in short bursts, with managers Working on many simultaneous projects, which can sometimes have conflicting
aims. GMs discuss a wide range of subjects in an unconnected way and tend to ask questions rather than give orders. They require large amounts of information which they pass on to top management to help them to make decisions. In order to collect this information, they must learn to work in uncertain and changing environments. As a result, both the approach and style of a GM change to adapt to the setting in which they are operating. They must be flexible to succeed.

Introduction
This report aims to compare possible sites with one in Lake Business Park and the other in the new block. Findings
The Lake Business Park has many empty units. Even worse, the "recent office extension" mentioned in the advert is actually a 20-year-old building in bad repair. Its parking space can only accommodate 80 cars. Another premises under consideration is the new office block with a modern air-conditioned office building and new warehouse units. Besides, it gains easy access to the motorway with 200 parking spaces in it.
Conclusions
The Lake Business Park has relatively small space for office and parking. The new office block, on the other hand, has better conditions and larger space for parking with good transport connections. Recommendations It is wise to buy the new office block at ￡ 350 000.)

B: it was all right. I liked it better than I thought I would. It's very clean and spacious, and it's got lots of trees. The problem is transportation. The bus service is terrible and of course, they don't have a subway, so it's a little difficult to get a- round. We had to rent a car. A: And what did you see?
B: Oh, the usual things. We took a drive around Hollywood and looked at the stars' homes and then we went to Universal Studios and Disneyland.
A: How did you like Disneyland?
B: It was great! We really enjoyed it. We took all the rides, some of them twice and had lots of fun. I felt just like a kid again.

B: Oh, yeah. It was nice and warm in L. A. and cool but comfortable in San Francisco.
A: Cool in San Francisco? That's surprising.
B: Yeah, it surprised us a bit, too. We didn't take any sweaters or anything. But they say it's always like that in August. Anyway, I just loved it. It's probably the most beautiful town in the U. S. —all those hills, and the bay, and those charming old Victorian houses.
A: So, you liked it better than L. A. ?
B: Oh, yes. There's much more to see and do. And because it's smaller than L. A. , it's a lot easier to get around. There are lots of buses and street- cars, and of course, the cable cars. A: What did you like best?
B: Oh, I don't know. It's hard to say. I liked Golden Gate Park and Fishermen's Wharf. But, I guess, most of all, I liked the cable car ride that was the most fun.
