Asigns Bminds C immediate Dfunction E. altering F. borderless G. relative H. worth I. individual J. breakdown K. sociableImagine meeting a foreigner for the first time but he/she is fluent in
21、your language. There may appear to be no 31 communication barrier. Would you adapt the tone of your voice, or the spacing of pauses in your speech? How about 32 your body language and facial expressions, depending on the background of the person in front of you?These are just a small part of the cha
22、nges in behavior that can improve your “cultural intelligence”, or CQ. There is growing evidence that suggests that they are well 33 learning.“The number one predictor of your success in todays 34 world is not your IQ, not your resume, and not even your expertise,” writes social scientist David Live
23、rmore. “Its your CQ.”Much of the research on CQ has been done by Professor Soon Ang with the Nanyang Technological University. In the late 1990s, her job was dealing with the “Y2K bug.” It was a software bug that was feared would bring down the worlds computer networks. Ang put together an internati
24、onal team of programmers to update computer systems in Singapore. They were some of the brightest 35 in the industry. However, Ang soon found that these people just couldnt work together. Often, 36 members would appear to agree on a solution, but then carry it out in completely different ways. Clear
25、ly, it wasnt a question of language skills or expertise. Instead, she saw that these employees were held back by each others cultural differences.This would lead Ang to work with psychologist P. Christopher Earley. Together they built a theory of CQ. They defined it as “the capability to 37 effectiv
26、ely in a variety of cultural contexts.”Someone with a low CQ might view everyone elses behavior through his own cultural lens. If he comes from a more 38 environment, for instance, and notices that his Japanese colleagues are very quiet in a meeting, he may think that they are being unfriendly. In a
27、viation, such cultural differences might cause a(n) 39 in communication between pilots and air traffic controllers. The consequences would be unthinkable.A person at the top of the scale, meanwhile, might realize that silence is one of the 40 of respect. In Japanese culture, feedback often wont be g
28、iven unless it is asked for. As a result, he/she will offer suitable opportunities within the meeting for others to provide their opinions.三、完形填空In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the now famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that
29、 people instinctively 41 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evidence to the 42 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 43 , that their employees need constant supervision
30、 if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 44 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.Different cultures have different ways of 45 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the
31、consultative nature of decision-making all members of the department or work group are asked to 46 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 47 . Some experts say that women
32、will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 48 managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 49 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has
33、been part of the trend towards downsizing: 50 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 51 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托
34、) much further than has 52 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 53 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.Another trend is off-site or 54 management, where
35、teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 55 of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.41AdesireBseekCloseDdislike42AcontraryBexpectationCdegreeDextre

38、朝圣者的) trail to Santiago de Compostela. 56 roads meant that, until a decade or two ago, the drive from Madrid took nine hours. Recent improvements have 57 the trip to the closest Galician city, Ourense, to about five.Now the journey can be made in two hours and 15 minutes, 58 Galicias first connectio
39、n with Spains enviable high-speed railway network. Next year, the line should be 59 to Santiago, the regional capital, and Coruna, its biggest city. “Cinderella can now travel in a bigger and more comfortable car,” said Ourenses mayor, Gonzalo Prez Jacome, using his nickname for his city, which he s
40、ays is treated like an unloved stepchild. No one wants to be 60 Spain has the biggest high-speed rail network in the world after Chinas but he 61 that the new extension will bring dramatic changes.Spaniards (西班牙人) have long been 62 poorer rural areas for better opportunities in richer cities. Politi
41、cians in rural areas often complain about this. But it is not obvious that pricey infrastructure (基础设施) will make a(n) 63 to stop it. Mr. Jacome notes that Zamora, where recently the high-speed trains last stop in its way to Galicia, has gained weekend tourists, but 64 to lose population since their
42、 arrival in 2015.In any case, Galicia has been doing well. It was once a symbol of isolation, poverty, and “the end of the world”, as the name of its westernmost point, Cape Finisterre, indicates. So many Galicians emigrated that Gallego is still the 65 of “Spaniard” in parts of Latin America. But G
43、DP per person, 66% of the national average in 1955, is now 92% of it. Angel de la Fuente, a senior economist, 66 fish processing, car-making and clothing and reasonably business-friendly politics. Whats worth mentioning is that Inditex, the parent company of Zara and other brands, is based there. Ne
44、vertheless, he says a single cause of its 67 is hard to identify.Another fix for Spains regional 68 has been put forward by the Socialist-led national government: opening new state bodies outside the capital. Many leaders in the conservative Peoples Party (PP) say this would be pointless. Galicias l
45、eader, the PPs moderate Alberto Nuiez Feijo, 69 , has a warmer reaction, noting that it doesnt 70 to put the countrys Institute of Oceanography in Spains landlocked capital, Madrid.56AAccessibleBBeatenCOpenDPoor57AeditedBcutCprolongedDlimited58Aapart fromBexcept forCthanks toDon behalf of59AexecutedBexchangedCexposedDextended60Aleft outBheld upCput offDt
