Paul Straussmann, retired vice president of Xerox, indicates in his book Information Pay-off that "almost half of the U. S. information workers are in executive, managerial, administrative and professional positions". He further states that "managers and professionals spend more than half of their time in communicating with each other". In other words, people are a corporation’’s most expensive resource. For a typical office, over 90% of the operating budget is for salaries, benefits and over head. With this investment, is it any wonder that managers are focusing more and more attention on employee productivity They realize that the paper jungle cannot be tamed simply by hiring more people. To receive a return on their investment, wise corporate executive officers are realizing what industrialists and agriculturists learned long ago — efficient tools are essential for increased productivity. A direct relationship exists between efficient flow of information and the quality and speed of the output of the end product. For those companies using technology, the per document cost of information processing is only a fraction of what it was a few years ago. The decreasing cost of computers and peripherals (equipment tied to the computer) will continue to make technology a cost-effective tool in the future. An example of this type of savings is illustrated in the case of the Western Division of General Telephone and Electronics Company ( GTE ). By making a one-time investment of $10 million to automate its facilities, management estimates an annual saving of $8.5 million for the company. This savings is gained mainly through the elimination of support people once needed for proposal projects. Through a telecommunications network that supports 150 computer terminals with good graphics capabilities, the engineers who conceptualize the projects are now direct participants. They use the graphics capacities of the computer rather than rely on drafters to prepare drawings, they enter their own text rather than employ typists, and they use the network to track project progress rather than conducting meetings. Which of the following might be the result from the use of efficient technology in corporations
A. The quantity of products will be considerably increased.
B. The cost of computers will be decreased.
C. The per document cost of information processing will be reduced.
D. The newest information will be easier to obtain.

Taking pictures is fun, and taking good ones is not difficult if you follow a few simple rules. Before you snap(快拍)a picture, thinking about it. Be sure that you are close enough to your subject. A pretty face against a clear background(背景), for example, makes a good picture. But a distant figure lost among trees and clouds lacks interest. In a landscape(风景)scene, try to keep at least two thirds of the picture below the line where the ground meets the sky, for a sky-scene, keep at least two thirds of the picture above that line. Study pictures in newspapers and books. Try to see why some are better than others. Use what you learn to improve your own pictures. In a landscape scene, two-thirds of the picture should be _________.
A. land
B. sky
C. clouds
D. sea
To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to hold the attention of your audience; you must be a clever speaker, with good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of an actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play; they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say no. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of the audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along. There are some similarities between teachers and actors except ______ .
A. a good, strong and pleasing voice
B. the ability to hold the attention of listeners
C. that you must be a clever speaker
D. the ability to control unexpected situation
