任务型阅读,阅读下面短文,根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息,每空一词。
Americans in business have a language of their own. Some words and expressions deal with the special areas of their work. Some expressions are borrowed from different kinds of work such as the theatre and movie industry.
One such saying is “get your act together”.
When things go wrong in business, a boss may get angry. He may shout, “Stop making mistakes. Get your act together.” Or, if the boss is calmer, he may say, “Let’s get our act together.” Either way, the meaning is the same. Getting your act together is getting organized. In business, it usually means to develop a calm and orderly (有序的) plan of action.
It is difficult to tell exactly where the saying began. But it is probable that it was in the theatre or movie industry. Perhaps one of the actors was nervous and made a lot of mistakes. The director may have said, “Calm down, now. Get your act together.”
Another expression used by American business people is “cut to the chase”.
“Cut to the chase” means to stop spending so much time on unimportant details or information. Hurry and get to the good part.
Naturally, this saying was started by people who made movies. Hollywood movie producers believe that most Americans want to see action movies. Many of their movies show scenes in which the actors chase each other in cars, in airplanes or on foot.
“Cut” is the director’s word for stop. The director means to stop filming, leave out some material and get to the chase scene now.
So, if your boss tells you to cut to the chase, be sure to get to the main point of your work quickly.
