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

The famous American gorilla(大猩猩) expert Diane Fossey had a completely new way to study gorillas ― she pretended to be one of them. She copied their actions and way of life ― eating plants and getting down on her hands and knees to walk the way a gorilla does. It was a new relationship.

Diane Fossey was murdered in Rwanda in 1985 and her story was made into the popular film Gorillas in the Mist. It was a long way from King Kong, which is about a gorilla as a monster (a frightening animal), and helped to show a new idea: the real monster is man, while the gorilla is to be admired.

Today there are thought to be around 48,000 lowland gorillas and maybe 400―450 mountain gorillas in the wild. From the Congo in West Africa, to Rwanda and Uganda further east, they are endangered by hunting and by the cutting down of their forest homes.

Some time ago, I found in my letterbox a little magazine from the World Wide Fund for Nature. It had two photos side by side. One was of a young gorilla. “This is a species of mammal(哺乳类动物),” said the words below it. “It is being destroyed by man. We must save it for our own good.” The other photo showed a human baby. The words also read, “This is a species of mammal,” but then went on: “It is the most destructive(破坏性的) on earth. We must retrain it for its own good.”

56.   The text mainly talks about _____.

A. Diane Fossey                               B. the gorillas in Rwanda

C. the protection of the gorillas          D. the film Gorillas in the Mist

57.   We can learn from the text that _____.

A.    Gorillas in the mist was based Fossey’s experiences

B.    Lowland gorillas live longer than mountain gorillas

C. King Kong showed us that a gorilla is admirable

D. Diane Fossey was murdered by a gorilla

58.   What message can we get from the two photos in the magazine?

A.    Gorillas are man’s close friends.  

B.    Both man and the gorilla need to be saved.

C.    Young gorillas are as lovely as human babies.

D.    Man should live peacefully with the gorilla.

“My name’s Jim Shelley and I’m an addict(有瘾的人)…”

With these words I began to  36  the problem, the problem of my telephone addiction. I used to call people  37 , from the moment I woke up to the time I went to sleep. I  38  to be phoned, I wanted to phone. Just one more call.

It started socially ― a few calls each day. It seemed  39 , just a quick chat. Gradually though, the  40  got worse. Soon it was  41  use, until, finally, addiction.

And it began to affect(影响) my  42 . During the day I would disappear for  43  call. If I couldn’t make a call, I spent the whole time waiting for the phone to ring. Getting more and more  44 , in the end, I would ring someone, then someone else,  45  myself just one more call.

I was phoning people and  46  messages to make sure  47  calls would see me through the day. I used to arrive at friends’ homes and before the door was closed, go straight for the phone with the  48  “Is it OK if I just use the phone…?” At work, I became  49  when my fellow workers tried to  50  me from using the phone. And one day I hit my boss (with the phone). Finally, the police caught me  51  a phone box that had taken my last one pound coin, and I was  52  to see a psychiatrist(心理医生).

I haven’t  53  a phone in the house for three weeks now, and it’s several days  54  I used a phone box. I try not to watch TV because there are  55  people on it making phone calls. My name is Jim Shelley and I am an addict.
