Passage 3International airlines have rediscovered the business travelers, the man or woman

Passage 3

International airlines have rediscovered the business travelers, the man or woman who regularly jets from country to country as part of the job. This does not necessarily mean that airlines ever _1_ their business travelers. Indeed, companies like Lufthansa and Swissair would rightly argue that they have always _2_ best for the executive class passengers. But many lines could be accused of concentrating too heavily in the recent past on attracting passengers by volume, often at the _3_ of regular travelers. Too often, they have seemed geared for quantity rather than quality. Operating a major airline in the 1980s is essentially a matter of finding the right mix of passengers. The airlines need to fill up the back end of their wide-bodied jets with low fare passengers,without forgetting that the front end should be filled with people who pay_4_ more for their tickets. It is no _5_ that the two major airline bankruptcies in 1982 were among the companies _6_ in cheap flights.but low fares require consistently full aircraft to make flights economically viable(可行的), and in the recent recession the volume of traffic has not grown. EquaUy the large number of airlines jostling for (争夺）the _7_ passenger has created a huge excess of capacity. The net result of excess capacity and cut-throat _8_ driving down fares has been to push some airlines into _9_ and leave many others hovering on the brink. Against this grim background, it is no surprise that airlines are turning increasingly to the business travelers to improve their rates of return. They have _10_ much time and effort to establish exactly what the executive demands for sitting apart from the tourists.

A)competition

B)entertained

C)coincidence

D)abandoned

E)expense

F)centralizing

G)collapse

H)attachable

I)invested

J)ultimtely

K)specializing

L)available

M)substantially

N)approach

O)catered

第5题

If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they are only themselves to blame. Bec

ause they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken ad vantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe(衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.

Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.

No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any a mount of discomfort, as long as they look fight. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.

When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability？ Men are too clever to let themselves be treated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and feasibility？ That's for you to decide.

Designers and big stores always make money ______.

A．by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry

B．because they are capable of predicting new fashions

C．by constantly changing the fashion in women's clothing

D．because they attach great importance to quality in women's clothing

Suggestions for Your WorkAnnie is a longtime secretary/receptionist for two senior vice pr

Suggestions for Your Work

Annie is a longtime secretary/receptionist for two senior vice presidents at a big company. They have been doing a lot of hiring lately, and almost all of the new middle-management personnel have been interviewed by one or the other of Annie's two bosses, so naturally they come through her office first.

Some of these people are unbelievably rude. Either they treat Annie like a piece of furniture (no hello, no eye contact) or they think she is their errand (差使) girl. Lately, Annie's two bosses have started asking her for her impressions of job candidates. So far this week, two have been discourteous (失礼的) and dismissive, so Altair gave both the thumbs-down. Neither is getting called back for the next round of interviews.

No one knows how common this is, but if you are job hunting, it's necessary to be aware that the dummy at the reception desk may be anything but not "just a secretary".

Suggestions to Job Hunters

According to Annie Stevens and Greg Gostanian, two partners at a Boston-based executive coaching firm called Clear Rock, it's not unusual these days for a hiring manager to ask everyone who meets a potential new hire to give an opinion of him or her. "One of the biggest reasons so many newly recruited managers fail in a new job is their inability to fit in and get along with the people who are already there," says Stevens. "So employers now want to get staffers' impressions right at the start."

Adds Gostanian: "A lot can be learned from how candidates treat receptionists. If the jobseeker is rude, condescending, or arrogant, this might be an indication of how he or she would treat coworkers or direct reports."

Obviously, anyone looking for a new job would do well not to alienate the person who sits outside the interviewer's door. Stevens and Gostanian offer these six tips fur getting off to the right start:

？Introduce yourself as you would to any other potential new colleague. Smile, shake hands, and so on. It seems odd that this has to be spelled out, but apparently it does; and, besides being a matter of common courtesy, ordinary friendliness offers a practical advantage. "Learning and remembering an interviewer's receptionist's name can only help as you advance in the interviewing process," Stevens notes.

？Don't regard a receptionist or other assistant as an underling (部下) —at least, not as your own personal underling. "Always ask the interviewer if you need help from anyone else in the office where you're interviewing, instead of seeking this directly yourself," says Gostanian. In other words, if you'd like to leave an extra copy of your resume, refrain from sending the interviewer's assistant to the Xerox machine.

？It's fine to accept if you're offered a beverage, but keep it simple. "Don't ask for particular brand names or expect to be brewed a fresh pot of coffee," Stevens says. And of course, need we add that dispatching anybody to Starbucks is out of the question？

？Feel free to make small talk, but know that anything you say may well get back to the interviewer. "Don't ask probing questions about the company or offer unsolicited opinions," Gostanian advises. No matter how hideous the office door, endless the hike from the parking lot, or inconvenient the wait to see the interviewer, keep it to yourself. Plenty of time for whining (抱怨) and grumbling after you're hired.

？Don't talk on your ceil phone in front of the receptionist, and try to put your BlackBerry aside. "If you have to make or take a call, leave the reception area," Stevens says. Preoccupation with wireless devices will mark you, she says, as "a cold and fixated person".

？Don't forget to say good-bye. "Failure to say good-bye to someone you've just met reflects negatively on you," Gostanian notes. "You'll come across as impersonal and uncaring
