Semco

At 21，Ricardo Semler became boss of his father&39;s business in Brazil，Semco，which soldparts for ships．Semler Junior worked likea madman，from 7:30 a.m.，until midnight every day．One afternoon，while touring afactory in New York，he collapsed．The doctor who treated him said，“There&39;s nothing wrong with you．But if you continue like this，you&39;ll find a new home in our hospital．”Semler got the message．He changed the way he worked．In fact，he changed theway his employees worked too．

He let his workers take moreresponsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went wrong．He allowed them to set their own salaries，and he cut all the jobs he thought were unnecessary，like receptionists and secretaries．(46)______“Everyone at Semco，even top managers，meets guests inreception，does the photocopying，sends faxes，types lettersand dials the phone．”

He completely reorganized the office：instead of walls，they haveplants at Semeo，so bosses can&39;t shutthemselves away from everyone else．(47)______As for uniforms，some people wear suits and others wear T-shirts．

Semler says，“We have a sales manager named Rubin Agater who sits there readingthe newspaper hour after hour．He doesn&39;t evenpretend to be busy．But when aSemco pump on the other side of the world fails and millions of gallons of oilare about to spill into the sea，Rubin springsinto action．(48)______That&39;s when heearns his salary．No one cares if he doesn&39;tlook busy the rest of the time．” Semcohas flexible working hours；the employeesdecide when they need to arrive at work．The employees also evaluate their bosses twice a year．(49)______

It sounds perfect，but does it work？ The answer is in the numbers：in the last six years，Semco&39;srevenues have gone from $35 million to $212 million．The company has grown from eight hundred employees to 3，000．Why？

Semler says it&39;s because of“peerpressure”．Peer pressure makeseveryone work hard for everyone else．(50)______In other words，Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults and expects them toact like adults．And they do．

A．Also，Semco lets its workers use the company&39;s machines for their ownprojects，and makes them takeholidays for at least thirty days a year． B．Most managersspend their time making it difficult for workers to work． C．This savedmoney and brought more equality to the company． D．And the workersare free to decorate their workspace as they want． E．He knowseverything there is to know about our pumps and how to fix them． F．If someoneisn’t doing his job well，the otherworkers will not allow the situation to continue．

请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析，谢谢！

ness could save businesses ￡5 billion every year. Frequently hearing the phrase“thank you”or“well done”means the same to staff as a modest pay rise.

Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs. In this way the business companies can save the cost of finding new employees. A third of 1,000 workers surveyed by a consulting firm said they did not get thanked at all when they did well-and a further third said they were not thanked enough. In both cases. staff said they felt undervalued，meaning they were less likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere.

The result of the survey shows that there would be around ￡5.2 billion loss in productivity if the employees felt less appreciated. According to the firm，praising staff has the same positive effect as a 1 per cent pay rise-and works out much cheaper for bosses. Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their bosses was important to them，but only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed.

The survey found that those in blue-collar and manual jobs were less likely to be given any recognition for doing well. But it seems that they most need such praise.

In regional terms，Scottish staff felt most undervalued. Four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise. However. workers in the North-East are less impressed by being praised by the boss，as only 69 per cent said they felt the need to be told“well done”regularly. Older employees and women need the most reassurance，according to psychologist Averil Leimon. She said that words of praise did more than creating a pleasant place to work-they could even promote profits.

The survey indicates that politeness could save businesses a huge amount of money every year because______.

听力原文：W: First of all, when do people start work in American offices？

M: Right, well, the official workdays start at 9 a. m.. It should really mean 9 o'clock, not ten past or half past nine.

W: Would you say that people work very hard in offices in America？

M: Well, I don't know about the employees in your country, but some nations have a philosophy that you only work when the boss is around. And any time he is not there, one can relax by reading the newspaper or whatever one likes doing in a personal way.

W: And things are different in the States, you are saying？

M: Well, in America, one is being paid for one's time. So employees are expected to find other work if their own desks are clear, or to help someone else with his or her work. But you never sit idle doing nothing.

W: Yes, as the saying goes, time is money.

M: Exactly. Your employer owns your time while he is paying you for it. That is precisely what "time is money" means. And anyway the boss does not ask more of you than he is doing himself. He will probably work to the lunch hour himself or even take work until night.

W: Talking about lunch hours. What about them？ Do you take them seriously？

M: Oh, yes, sure, of course. The employee's lunch hour should be taken within the period allowed unless you are officially discussing company business, say, on a business lunch. It's the same, too, with the end of the day. I mean, work until the day officially ends at five o'clock unless you are in the office work, where flextime, is, is accepted practice.

W: Oh, so you have the flextime system, do you？ I wasn't sure about that.

M: Oh, yes, sure. Flexible working hours, that is, starting or ending work earlier or later. I know, it is still relatively new. However there are more and more Americans on the system today. Well, for the same reasons as in Europe to keep traffic and commuting problems down. And as more women now work, it gives more family time.

W: Urn. Could you say something about contract of hiring in America, please？

M: Well, it's different in America from, say, European countries like Germany or France, perhaps Japan, too. I'm not sure. I know that in some countries, people relax when they have once got a job because they know they will almost never be fired unless they do something wrong.

W: Do you mean that your employer can just fire you in America？

M: No, no, no. There are of course legal protections in the US. So employees cannot be unjustly fired without good reasons. Workers must do a good job, produce well and get along with their colleagues, or they can be let go, as it is called.

W: So one day to the next, you mean.

M: Well, it's really done without warning. But it is important to remember that in the US you are a member of a business firm and not a family. It makes a difference.

W: I wonder, are the physical or external appearances of office life different from European offices？

M: Well, I have heard people comment on the informality found in American offices. And this is certainly a little difficult for people who are more used to hierarchical system, of course. There are some very formal offices, too, say, big banks, law firms, and major corporations. But in many establishments with fewer employees, the atmosphere is loose and easy with a lot of joking and teasing and wandering in and out of the offices among all levels of employees.

W: Well, that sounds quite interesting. I think that's all I want to know really. Thank you very much.

M: My pleasure.
