As we know, it is very important that a firm should pay attention to the training of its staff as there exist many weak points in its various departments. Staff training must have a purpose, which I defined(解释) when a firm considers its training needs, which are in turn based on job descriptions and job specifications.
A job description should give details of the performance that is required for a particular job, and a job specification should give information about the behaviour, knowledge and skills that are expected of an employee who works in it. When all of this has been collected, it is possible to make a training specification. This specifies that the training department must teach for the successful performance of the job, and also the best methods to use in the training period.
There are many different training methods, and there are advantages and disadvantages of all of them. Successful training performances depend on an understanding of the difference between learning about skills and training in using them. It is frequently said that learning about skills takes place “off the job” in classroom, but training in using these skills takes place “on the job,” by means of such activities as practice in the workshop.
It’s always difficult to evaluate the costs of a training programme. The success of such a programme depends not only on the methods used but also on the quality of the staff who do the training. The evaluation of management training is much more complex than that.
59.To be successful in our training programme, we must understand the difference between .
A.a job description and a job specification
B.what is taught, and how it is taught
C.the costs and the quality of the programme
D.the training contents and training in using
60.According to passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.As there exist weak points in different departments of a firm, the training of its staff is
highly necessary.
B.A training specification is based on the information collected from a job description and a job specification.
C.Training in using skills and learning about skills usually do not happen at the same time.
D.It’s easier to evaluate management training than to evaluate the training of workers and technicians.
61.The best title for the passage might be .
A.Staff training and its evaluation
B.A successful training programme
C.How to describe and specify a job
D.The importance of training the staff
62.From the passage we know the success of a training programme lies in .
A.the training methods and the quality of the training staff
B.the performance of the trainees in the programme
C.the places where the training programmes take place
D.the way to evaluate the training programme
Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids now,one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it,say some scientists.
Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids(流星)that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don't threaten us. But there are also thousands whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.
Buy $ 50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $ 10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one,the scientists say,we'll have a way to change its course.
Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn't be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare-but if one did fall,it would be the end of the world. “If we don't take care of these big asteroids,they'll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It's that simple.”
The cure,though,might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday(毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,” said a New York Times article.
