&8226;Read the article below about the importance of human resource (HR) management.
&8226;Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.
&8226;For each gap (8-12), mark one letter (A-G) on your Answer Sheet.
&8226;Do not use any letter more than once.
Human resource management
It is nearly a century since the car manufacturer Henry Ford said, 'You can destroy my factories and offices, but give me my people and I will build the business right back up again.' In the light of this statement, it is odd that people management has taken so many years to move up the agenda. But a few business theorists are beginning to argue that managing people well can add more to the bottom line than anything else.
Mike Manzotti, a leading American author in this area, has strong views about the growing importance of human resources in today's business world. (8) . A company with high staff commitment, for example, has an asset that its rivals find hard to copy. Research in Britain would appear to support this notion. A recent business school survey into the performance of eight multinationals found that people management could be the most decisive factor in a company's performance. Another study indicated the same thing in medium-sized manufacturing firms. (9) . After all, how can an organisation evaluate the commitment of its staff？
For this reason, the researcher George Hessenberg argues that a scientific approach is needed. He feels that when HR professionals suggest changing an organisation's compensation structure or being more selective in recruiting, they are asking for things that require resources. (10) .
Some new approaches are emerging that attempt to do just that, including the scheme devised by consultants Couze Jordan. The scheme, which covers communication, recruitment, and use of resources, predicts that significant improvements in these areas achieve an increase in shareholder value of up to 30 per cent.
Another programme, launched by James Lester, an independent human resources expert, approaches the problem from a perspective that is designed to appeal to a wide range of managers. (11) . Both, he argues, involve appropriate decisions being made about the allocation of resources within a particular budget.
Lester's expertise enables him to carry out an organisational audit for his clients to identify which areas of HR are in most need of improvement. This is because there is no point in businesses spending large amounts without knowing if the investment is worthwhile. (12) . Lester's advice, however, is for companies to think twice before hiring people, since it is vital they assess whether they are getting value for money.
A But the findings are inconclusive because of the difficulty of collecting reliable evidence.
B He argues that the role of a skilled, motivated and flexible workforce has become more significant as traditional sources of competitive advantage diminish.
C For example, a common mistake is to spend a fortune on recruitment to cover up for deficiencies in training.
D However, most leading experts in the field believe that there is sufficient evidence to support this model of workplace dynamics.
E He compares the positive use of human resources to effective fund management, as this is something that senior executives can relate to.
F He believes, however, that the only way they will gain approval for these potentially expensive initiatives is to have some data that demonstrates positive financial benefits.
G In the light of this statement, it is odd that people management has taken so many years to move up the agenda.

The quick adoption of the scheme may have indicated less about the state lawmakers' respect for working people than about a fear of risking their anger. In the 1880s the United States was a land sharply divided between the immensely wealthy and the very poor. Henry George was accurate in describing the era as one of" progress and poverty. "In a society, in which factory owners rode in private Pullmans while ten-year-olds slaved in the mines, strong anti-capitalist feeling ran high. Demands for fundamental change were common throughout the labor press. With socialists demanding an end to" wage slavery" and anarchists singing the praises of the virtues of dynamite, middle of-the-roarers like Samuel Gompers and McGuire seemed attractively mild by comparison. One can imagine practical capitalists seeing Labor Day as a bargain: a one-day party certainly cost them less than paying their workers decent wages.
Judging from the passage, McGuire was ______.
A．a moderate labor leader
B．an extreme-anarchist in the labor movement
C．a devoted socialist fighting against exploitation of man by man
D．a firm anti-capitalist demanding the elimination of wage slavery

The Writing's on the Wall？
Is it art or is it just vandalism(野蛮行为)？ Well，it's still a crime，but graffiti(涂鸦) has changed since the days of spraying your name on a wall to mark your territory．Street art has become much more sophisticated since a 17-year-old called Demetrius started spraying his “tag”，TAKI 183，all over the NewYork underground in 1971，and hip-hop culture was born．Hip-hop is a mixture of art，music and dancing，poetry，language and fashion．It came from young inner-city people，who felt left out by their richerclassmates and who were desperate to express themselves in any way they could．
An experiment to control the spread of graffiti in Rochdale，Greater Manchester，has been so successful that plans have been made by local street artists for an international convention in June．“We're planning to get people together from different countries like France and Germany for a week，”says Liam，one of the organizers．The scheme started in 2000，and has attracted people of all age groups and both sexes．“We all share a common interest and get on really well with each other．”The first site to be chosen was a subway．“Before we began，people were afraid to use the subway．We had it cleaned up and now，with all the artists hanging out down there，people are using it again．People can relate to graffiti much more now．”By providing places to display their talents legally，there has been a fall in the amount of“tagging”on people's private property．
Street artist Temper developed his drawing skills at a young age．In art classes at school he was really frustrated because the Art teacher didn't spend time with him．They thought he was already very good at art and so spent more time with other students．So，at 12 years old，Temper started painting with all these guys he'd hooked up with who were about 22 years old．He looked up to them and loved what they were doing on the streets of Wolvehampton，England．“The whole hip-hop scene was built up of different things and I did a bit of everything．But it was always the graffiti I was best at，”he says．
Demetrius was a teenager from New York．
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned

Wendy Ledger looks at job swapping, a staff development scheme in which employees exchange jobs for a short period.
According to a recent survey, 77 per cent of people would prefer to work for a boss who offers training and learning in the workplace. One increasingly popular project is job swapping, which gives an insight into the daily challenges facing different people in different roles.
Olivia Yost is a divisional manager with Parker Bridge Ltd, and she recently swapped jobs with the salary controller there. Both were then able to appreciate the problems and pressures of each other's roles far more clearly. Yost says, 'I now have a better understanding of what the salary controller's work involves, and am more aware of my colleague's deadlines. This type of cross training is important, and having to learn about another person's role is a useful experience for bosses and employees alike. Job swapping also helps you to understand the way other departments work and gives you access to other teams within your firm. So it is of value both to the individual and the company as a whole.'
Sean Bradley, who works in central London, took his job exchange a lot further - all the way to Australia in fact. Last July, Sean and his colleague in the Sydney branch of their company swapped jobs. 'I loved it,' said Bradley. 'Primarily for geo- graphic reasons, but also because of the challenge of being the final decision-maker rather than reporting to a manager. It was my first management experience and I had to improve my skills on some IT specialisa-tions. I learnt a lot there, and it was useful too - I've had two promotions since I returned to London.'
Job swapping is an excellent first step towards improving and bringing variety to training and education in the workplace. Doing something else, even for one day, can highlight your abilities and talents, while at the same time drawing attention to any weaknesses. It can also focus the mind on future career possibilities. And even if you hate your time spent at someone else's desk, the worst that can happen is that you'll end up feeling that little bit better about returning to your usual job.
According to Olivia Yost, what did she gain from job swapping7
A．experience of a more stressful working environment
B．the skills required to gain promotion
C．an idea of the strict time limits other people face
