20.Handwritten thank-you letters are such a simple way of making other people feel good.It is strange that so few people write them any more.At work,a thank-you letter to employees is unbelievably effective.It costs little and has no side effects.The effort involved in writing letters is very low.The pleasure on receiving them is very high.(36)CDoug Conant,manager of Campbell's Soup Company since 2001,knows the power of thank-you letters.He said that every day he works with an assistant,combing the company for people deserving thanks.(37)B Over the past 10years,he has sent 30,000thank-you letters to his employees-more than 10each day.The reward is huge:his company has remained one of the most successful in its field for years.
(38)FThere seem to be three reasons.Firstly,chief executives (主管) running companies think their own work is more valuable than that of others.(39)GSecondly,they aren't close enough to the business to know who deserves thanks.Thirdly,they have forgotten the strange human truth that almost everyone would do almost anything in return for a few words of appreciation.
In these days of such busy schedules and people running all over the place and trying to get ahead,sometimes we forget the simplest things in life are the most powerful and rewarding.You need to think to yourself about a time someone sent you a thank-you letter and how much it meant to you.(40)E
A.You may ask what side effects exactly mean.
B.He then writes them a thank-you letter.
C.This makes them an excellent way to reward and motivate staff.
D.Why are thank-you letters so important?
E.Always remember to"Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you!"
F.But if these letters are so uplifting,why don't more managers write them?
G.Since no one ever writes them thank-you letters they don't write any themselves.
分析 本文为社会生活类议论文;文章论述了手写感谢信的意义;作者通过Doug Conant的例子论证手写感谢信不需要付出巨大的努力,但是影响巨大,是很有价值的;尽管手写感谢信有着巨大的激发作用,但是很多经理没有采取行动,作者认为有三个原因:没有人写给他们,所以他们也就不写给别人;他们对公司不够了解;他们忽略了几乎人人都会因为感谢而愿意做任何事的事实.所以作者倡导如果你想得到别人的感谢,那么请你也要感谢别人.
解答 36.答案是C. 推断题;由上文"The effort involved in writing letters is very low.The pleasure on receiving them is very high."可知,手写感谢信需要付出的努力不多但是收到的人非常开心,由此得出结论,这是一个好的酬谢和激发员工的方法,故选C.
37.答案是B.细节理解题;由上文的"combing the company for people deserving thanks梳理公司中值得感谢的人"推断,然后给这些人写感谢信,再结合下文"he has sent 30,000thank-you letters 他已经送出3万份感谢信"推断答案选B.
38.答案是F.主旨大意题;由下文"There seem to be three reasons似乎存在三个原因"推断本段分析"既然感谢信如此有作用,为什没有更多的经历些感谢信的原因",故选F.
39.答案是G.细节推断题;由上句"chief executives (主管) running companies think their own work is more valuable than that of others"可知,他们认为自己的工作比他人重要,即他们更应该值得感谢;由此推断,既然没有人给他们写感谢信,他们自己也就不用写给别人,故选G.
40.答案是E.细节推断题;上文作者的分析"You need to think to yourself about a time someone sent you a thank-you letter and how much it meant to you.(你需要回想有人给你写感谢信,这封感谢信对你的意义(重大)"在于说明,然后自然地提出建议:如果你希望得到感谢信,你也应该给他人写感谢信;故选E.
