　　There was great excitement on the planet of Venus this week．For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since．

　　The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan(named after the great Venusian astronomer Prof．Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20 000 light years ago)．

　　Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to the feasibility(可行性)of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth．A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology．“We have come to the conclusion, based on last week’s satellite landing,” Prof．Zog said, “that there is no life on the Earth．”

　　“How do you know this?” the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked．

“For one thing, Earth’s surface in the area of Manhattan is composed of solid concrete(混凝土)and nothing can grow there．For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide(一氧化碳)and other deadly gasses and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive．”

　　“What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is connected?”

　　“We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means a much heavier flying saucer than we originally planned．”

　　“Are there any other hazards that you discovered in your studies?”

　　“Take a look at this photo．You see this dark black cloud hovering over the surface of Earth? We call this the Consolidated Edison Belt．We don’t know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venus Being there．”

　　“If what you say is true, won’t this set back the flying saucer program several years?”

　　“Yes, but we shall proceed as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds．”

　　“Prof．Zog, why are we spending billions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth when there is no life there?”

　　“Because if we Venusians can learn to breathe in an Earth atmosphere, then we can live anywhere．”

C

　　 Millions of people pass through the gates of Disney's entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places an almost universal attraction?What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks?Well, one reason is the way they're treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their “guests”, as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves.

　　All new employees(雇员), from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking “Traditions(传统) I ”. Here, they learn about the company's history, how it is managed, and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.

　　After passing “Traditions I”, the employees go on to more specialized training for their specific(具体的) jobs. No detail(细节) is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple, ordinary job, he replied, “What happens if someone wants to know where the rest-rooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds（野营地）?...We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the park. ”

　　Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail(单轨车), and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week help them to see the company's goals more clearly.

　　All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world. As one longtime business observer once said, “How Disney treats people, communicates with them, rewards them, is in my view the very reason for his fifty years of success. I have, watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration, the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis, successfully. It is what Disney does best. ”
