Lost in the Post

How would you feel if the letter you penned carefully and posted to your favorite star ended up in the recycling bin? That’s where unopened fan mail sent to singer Taylor Swift was found in Nashville. 【1】

Swift’s management said it was an accident, but dealing with piles of letters is a burden for most public figures. According to the BBC reporter Jon Kelly, at the height of his fame, Johnny Depp was said to receive up to 10,000 letters a week. 2

The dawn of the digital age in which public figures with a Twitter account can be messaged directly has made the process easier. The White House says it deals with 20,000 messages addressed to President Barack Obama each day.

Some celebrities don’t want letters. In 2008, Beatles drummer Ringo Starr said that he would throw them out because he was too busy. 3 Robert Pattinson, star of the Twilight films, claims that he reads tonnes and tonnes of letters from fans, which takes up almost all his free time.

Many artists, however, outsource(外包) the task of opening, reading and replying. Sylvia “Spanky” Taylor, 58, has run a service in California that does just that since 1987. 4 Most letters are simply declarations of affection and admiration, she says. A few ask for money. A small number contain threats which require her to contact the celebrity’s security team and law enforcement.

The biggest problem for Taylor is working out how to deal with the correspondence(通信). Presents such as soft toys are sent to local hospitals, and most of the letters just get shredded and recycled.

5 For some, this is enough, according to Lynn Zubernis, an expert at West Chester University. She says that the relationship between fan and celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former but it comes from a deeply-rooted human need for community.

A.Others do attempt to get through it themselves.

B.In fact, there is no alternative to deal with the problem.

C.How could he have enough time to skim through these letters one by one?

D.Typically, correspondence is acknowledged by a photo with a printed “signature”.

E.Accordingly, the correspondence problem has been difficult for the computer to automate.

F.She and her staff deal with up to 20,000 items of mail a month on behalf of 26 celebrities.

G.This incident has caused a wide public concern about how the public figures deal with the letters or mails from the fans.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

The health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the peculiar roles of producer or “provider” and purchaser or “consumer” in the typical doctor-patient relationship. In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a potential buyer with various appealing factors of price, quality, and use, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. Such condition, however, is not common in most of the health-care industry.

In the health-care industry, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the ordinary relationship between producer and consumer. Once an individual has chosen to see a physician and even then there may be no real choice it is the physician who usually makes all significant purchasing decisions: whether the patient should return “next Wednesday”, whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc. It is rare that a patient will challenge such professional decisions or raise in advance questions about price, especially when the disease is regarded as serious.

This is particularly significant in relation to hospital care. The physician must certify the need for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be discharged. The patient may be consulted about some of the decisions, but in general it is the doctor’s judgments that are final. Little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real “consumer”. As a consequence, the medical staff represents the “power center” in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.

Although usually there are in this situation four identifiable participants— the physician, the hospital, the patient, and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government)— the physician makes the essential decisions for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physician; the payer generally meets most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital, and for the most part the patient plays a passive role. We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care choices are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, the economy directed at patients or the general is relatively ineffective.

【1】The author’s primary purpose in writing this passage is to ________.

A. urge hospitals to reclaim their decision-making authority

B. inform potential patients of their health-care rights

C. criticize doctors for exercising too much control over patients

D. analyze some important economic factors in health-care

【2】It can be inferred that doctors are able to determine hospital policies because ________.

A. most of patient’s bills are paid by his health insurance

B. it is doctors who generate income for the hospital

C. some patients might refuse to take their physician’s advice

D. a doctor is ultimately responsible for a patient’s health

【3】According to the author, when a doctor tells a patient to “return next Wednesday”, the doctor is in fact ________.

A. advising the patient to seek a second opinion

B. warning the patient that a hospital stay might be necessary

C. instructing the patient to buy more medical services

D. admitting that the first visit was ineffective

【4】The author is most probably leading up to ________.

A. a proposal to control medical costs

B. a study of lawsuits against doctors for malpractice

C. an analysis of the cause of inflation (通货膨胀) in the US

D. a discussion of a new medical treatment

Most people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, their families place them in nursing homes. They【1】(leave) in the hands of strangers for the rest of their lives.

You can help your firm innovate(创新) by creating a culture in which all employees are actively encouraged to put forward ideas. But how do you get the best from people and encourage them to be at their most creative.

Stress the importance of creativity. 【1】 If they don’t understand innovation can keep your firm competitive, your efforts at encouraging creative thinking risk falling flat.

A team involved in a brainstorming session is likely to be more effective. 【2】You should also give individuals the space to reflect privately on their work if you think they need it.

Challenge the way staff work. 【3】 Ask people whether they have considered alternative ways of working and what might be achieved by doing things differently.

【4】Motivate individuals or teams who come up with winning ideas by actively recognizing creativity, for example through an award scheme. You can reward those who just have a rich flow of suggestions, regardless of whether they are put into action at work.

Act on ideas. Creative thinking is only worthwhile if it results in action. Provide the time and resources to develop and carry out those ideas worth acting on. 【5】In addition, the flow of ideas may well dry up if staff feel the process is pointless.

A. Reward creativity.

B. The problem is that our minds are lazy.

C. Be willing to make mistakes.
