A
If US software companies don’t pay more attention to quality, they could kiss their business good-bye. Both India and Brazil are developing a world-class software industry. Their weapon is quality and one of their jobs is to attract the top US quality specialists whose voices are not listened to in their country.
Already, of the world’s 12 software houses that have earned the highest rating in the wor ld, seven are in India. That’s largely because they have used new methodologies (方法) rejected by America software specialists. For example, for decades quality specialists W. Edwards Deming and J. M. Juran had urged US software companies to change their attitudes to quality. But their quality call mainly fell on deaf ears in the US ---but not in Japan. By the 1970s and 1980s, Japan was grabbing market share with better, cheaper products. They used Deming’s and Juran’s ideas to bring down the cost of good quality to as little as 5% of total production costs. In US factories, the cost of quality then was 10 times as high: 50%. In software, it still is.
Watts S. Humphrey spent 27 years at IBM heading up software production and then quality assurance (保证). But his advice was seldom paid attention to. He retired from IBM in 1986. In 1987, he worked out a system for assessing (评价) and improving software quality. It has proved its value time and again. For example, in 1990 the cost of quality at Raytheon Electronics Systems was almost 60% of total software production costs. It fell to 15% in 1996 and has since further dropped to below 10%.
Like Deming and Juran, Humphrey seems to be winning more praise overseas than at home. The Indian government and several companies have just founded the Watts Humphrey Software Quality Institute at the Software Technology Park in Chennai, India.
Let’s hope that US lead in software will not be eaten up by its quality problems.
1. What country has more highest- rating companies in the world than any other country?
A. Germany.
B. The US.
C. Brazil.
D. India.
2. By what means did Japan grab its market share by the 1970s and 1980s?
A. Its products were cheaper in price and better in quality.
B. Its advertising was most successful.
C. The US software industry was falling behind.
D. Japan hired a lot of Indian software specialists.
3. What does the founding of the Watts Humphrey Software Quality Institute symbolize (象征)?
A. US determination to move ahead with its software.
B. India’s ambition to take the lead in software.
C. Japanese efforts to solve the software quality problem.
D. Chinese policy on importing software.
4. What is the writer worrying about?
A. Many US software specialists are working for Japan.
B. The quality problem has become a world problem.
C. The US will no longer be the first software player in the world.
D. India and Japan are joining hands to compete with the US.

My first reaction was annoyance. It was Friday afternoon, and I was within an hour of finishing my work for the week. As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message. The statement read: “Mrs. Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision (视觉模糊) ever since her medical test this morning.” I smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems.
This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had
stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who had a
mental problem was substituting (用……代替) St. John’s word for her medication. Now Mrs.
Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes.
My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She’s probably just anxious, I thought. Still, she wouldn’t have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone.
What I next felt can only be described as delight. Before I made the call, the nurse ran in: Mrs. Jones called. Her vision is fine. It turned out that she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician has been having the same problem. I let out a laughter. Mrs. Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred. Now we know why.
Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs. Jones had taught me. I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded her judgment. Instead, my medical training had clouded mine. Now I feel thankful that Mrs. Jones figured it out before I made a mistake about our relationship. Patients come to me for my help. They pay me to listen, diagnose , treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust them too.
5. The writer smiled while reading the patient message because he knew _____.
A. Mrs. Jones would ask for more tests
B. the patient was being unreasonable
C. the nurse was joking with him
D. Mrs. Jones would call him
6. What has caused Mrs. Jones’ eye problem?
A. Wrong glasses.
B. Medical checkup.
C. Her own imagination.
D. Chatting on the Internet.
7. The underlined words “clouded her judgment” in the last paragraph probably mean “____”.
A. made her less trustful toward the doctor
B. put her in control of her own feelings
C. made her less able to think clearly
D. put her in a dangerous situation

2、动物是人类的亲密朋友，它们的存在，特别是那些珍稀动物的存在，使得我们生活的世界丰富多彩。
