One speaker at the three-day seminar, Dr. Jaroslav Lentzer of the Prague-based International Management Forum, claimed that some companies were spending over 40% of their time on tasks which were unnecessary or which could be completed in less time. He gave the example of one company in the service industry where office staff spent over half the working day exchanging news with each other or at “meeting” which had no practical purpose.
“Time”, said Dr. Lentzer, “is one of the most important resources a manager has. Most companies know what time their workers arrive in the morning and go home at night. But very few companies know how much time their employees spend on useful work.”
He told delegates that effective time management must begin with a study of how a manager uses his or her time at the moment. He gave the example of a Canadian bank which issues each manager with a logbook （工作日志） where they record daily activities. Managers are told to write down everything they do during the working day, including seemingly small tasks like taking phone messages for colleagues. Managers do this for a four-week period. Then the completed logbook is sent to a time management consultant who carefully examines the information. This helps the bank to decide how effectively each manager is using his time.
56. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Time is Money. B. Time Management
C. How to Make Time D. Lost Time Never Return
57. Dr.Jaroslav Lentzer is probably _____.
A. an expert on time management B. a business manager
C. a government official D. a bank manager
58. According to Dr.Jaroslav Lentzer, the staff of the company in the service industry _____.
A. were all very lazy
B. were spending too much time talking to each other
C. were not good at organizing meetings
D. were wasting 40% of their working hours
59. If you are a manager, you are advised to _____.
A. make sure your employees are not late for work
B. become familiar with staff members
C. know the amount of time your employees spend on useful work
D. dismiss the employees who do not use time efficiently
60. The managers in a Canadian bank are asked to _____.
A. write down everything they do during the working day for a four-week period
B. take messages for their colleagues
C. make use of their time at work
D. carefully examine how employees use their time
The legal basis of all insurance is the policy, which is a printed form of contract on the paper of the best quality. It states that in return for the regular payment by the insured of a named sum of money, called the premium which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of money or compensation for loss, if the risk or event insured against actually happens.
The premium for an insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies fix their premiums too high, there will be more competition in their branch of insurance and they may lose business. On the other hand, if they make the premium too low, they will lose money and may even have to drop out of business. So the ordinary forces of supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurer and the insured.
61. According to the writer, insurance is possible because _____.
A. only a small proportion of the insured suffer loss
B. only insured people suffer loss
C. nearly everyone suffers loss
D. everyone at some time suffers loss
62. By “the pool of contributions” the writer means _____.
A. the cost of administering insurance
B. the amount of each premium
C. money paid by the insurers
D. money paid by the insured
63. A policy is _____.
A. a legal agreement B. a check to be cashed at the bank
C. money paid by the insured D. a particular kind of insurance
64. Insurance premiums do not become too high because _____.
A. not many people suffer loss
B. they are fixed according to how likely the risk of loss is to happen
C. not many people insure themselves
D. insurance companies compete with each other
65. According to the writer, insurance is _____.
A. useful but too risky B. useful and necessary
C. costly but worth buying D. cheap but not necessary

Passage 1
A recent seminar（研讨会） in Budapest on the management of time in business concluded that senior managers are not always using their working time efficiently. Managers know that they can replace old equipment and that people who leave a company can be replaced. But lost time can never be replaced. So managers must learn to manage time more carefully.One speaker at the three-day seminar, Dr. Jaroslav Lentzer of the Prague-based International Management Forum, claimed that some companies were spending over 40% of their time on tasks which were unnecessary or which could be completed in less time. He gave the example of one company in the service industry where office staff spent over half the working day exchanging news with each other or at “meeting” which had no practical purpose.
“Time”, said Dr. Lentzer, “is one of the most important resources a manager has. Most companies know what time their workers arrive in the morning and go home at night. But very few companies know how much time their employees spend on useful work.”
He told delegates that effective time management must begin with a study of how a manager uses his or her time at the moment. He gave the example of a Canadian bank which issues each manager with a logbook （工作日志） where they record daily activities. Managers are told to write down everything they do during the working day, including seemingly small tasks like taking phone messages for colleagues. Managers do this for a four-week period. Then the completed logbook is sent to a time management consultant who carefully examines the information. This helps the bank to decide how effectively each manager is using his time.

A. were all very lazy
B. were spending too much time talking to each other
C. were not good at organizing meetings
D. were wasting 40% of their working hours

A. make sure your employees are not late for work
B. become familiar with staff members
C. know the amount of time your employees spend on useful work
D. dismiss the employees who do not use time efficiently
60. The managers in a Canadian bank are asked to _____.
A. write down everything they do during the working day for a four-week period
B. take messages for their colleagues
C. make use of their time at work
D. carefully examine how employees use their time
Passage 2
Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship-owner knows that his vessel may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as insured and those who administer the pool of contributions as insurers.The legal basis of all insurance is the policy, which is a printed form of contract on the paper of the best quality. It states that in return for the regular payment by the insured of a named sum of money, called the premium which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of money or compensation for loss, if the risk or event insured against actually happens.
The premium for an insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies fix their premiums too high, there will be more competition in their branch of insurance and they may lose business. On the other hand, if they make the premium too low, they will lose money and may even have to drop out of business. So the ordinary forces of supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurer and the insured.
