听力原文: People management skills are the most important skills a manager can develop. What differentiates a leader from a manager is that the leader has acquired not just the technical and strategic skills but the interpersonal skills to make things happen.
No doubt on your way up through the ranks, you have come across managers who are lacking in interpersonal skills, though they may be good at other aspects of their jobs. And you know, their future will be affected greatly by this lack of human skills.
Our program is totally devoted to developing those managerial skills in people on their way to the top. It covers motivating, assessing, rewarding, leading and developing people. Very simple models of interpersonal relationships are used to focus attention on understanding one's own behavior, its impact on others, understanding the goals of others and integrating a group into a winning team.
Professor John Hunt, Program Director, deliberately limits the number of people on this program to guarantee personal attention between tutors and participants. To match the content precisely to your needs, we ask you to do some pre-course work which includes a survey of those who work with you. This data is linked to our own large databank on how effective managers operate. We then work with you to develop your own specific goals as a manager.

A.Managers who want to strengthen their leadership.
B.Managers who want to improve their strategic and technical skills.
C.Managers who lack managerial skills in general.
D.Managers who lack human management skills.

听力原文:W: Yes, sir. Can I help you?
M: Um yes. I bought this radio-cassette player here a couple of weeks ago. Here's the receipt.
W: Ahha. That's fine. What seems to be the problem?
M: Well, it's been nothing but trouble since I bought it.
W: OK. Just let me take a note of this. Err, radio-cassette player.
M: The first thing is one of the speakers doesn't work properly. The sound is completely distorted with the radio or a tape.
W: Which one is it?
M: The right-hand one. Another problem is the left cassette player. It chews up tapes. It's completely mined two of my favorite cassettes.
W: Oh dear. The speaker and the cassette player.
M: One of the cassettes was brand new, oh, and the rewind switch doesn't work. Actually it never did.
W: OK. So there's the fight-hand speaker...the cassette player and...urn, the rewind switch. Is that it?
M: No, I'm afraid not. The aerial doesn't work properly. It's stuck.
W: Hmm, I see what you mean. The handle is broken too.
M: Yes, I'd forgotten about that. It's not very good, is it?
W: Err, no. But it's under guarantee and we can repair it. Just give me your name.
M: Jonathan Hall.
W: And phone number.
M: My home number is 67532, work is 78549.
W: 78549. And it is the, urn, 11th of February.
M: Yes. That's right.
W: OK. Mr. Hall. Here is your copy. We'll give you a ring when it's ready.

A.It has too much interference.
B.It produces no sound whatsoever.
C.The sound is too low.
D.The sound is completely distorted.
M: What is it?
W: I've been trying to find a way to encourage reading.
M: Tell me about it. I work with families everyday, Eva. I see how people spend their leisure time --young and old.
W: Mostly watching TV. Well, that would be OK, if people took the time to read.
M: I couldn't agree with you more.
W: The question is, how do we get them to read more?
M: I think you are going to give me the answer to that question. You have that look in your eye.
W: I do have the answer, or at least I think I do. The plan is a simple one. Involve the entire family in a reading project. But first in the schoolrooms. By arranging with the public schools to schedule one hour a week--to start with. During that time, parents are invited to attended to read along with the children.
M: It can go beyond the school system.
W: Really?
M: I guarantee you it would go very well in the hospitals. My patients--mostly kids--would love to read or to be read to.
W: I love the idea. In that way, we can spend more time together. You and I are very busy these days, we need to find more time to be together, to do things together. That would be wonderful.

The experts were faced with an interesting problem. Some, a minority, would prefer to think that critical thinking, by its very nature, is inconsistent with the kinds of unethical and deliberately counterproductive examples given. They find it hard to imagine a person who was good at critical thinking not also being good in the broader personal and social sense. In other words, if a person were "really" a "good critical thinker" in the procedural sense and if the person had all the appropriate dispositions, then the person simply would not do those kinds of exploitive and aggravating things.
The large majority, however, hold the opposite judgment. They are firm in the view that good critical thinking has nothing to do with any given set of ethical values or social mores. The majority of experts maintain that critical thinking conceived of as we have described it above, is, regrettably, not inconsistent with its unethical use. A tool, an approach to situations, these can go either way, ethically speaking, depending on the character, integrity, and principles of the persons who possess them. So, in the final analysis the majority of experts maintained that "it is an inappropriate use of the term to deny that someone is engaged in critical thinking on the grounds that one disapproves ethically of what the person is doing. What critical thinking means, why it is of value, and the ethics of its use are best regarded as three distinct concerns.
Richard Paul describes two beneficial dispositions that are encouraged (but not guaranteed) by critical thinking education:
"Fair-minded thinkers take into account the interests of everyone affected by the problem and proposed solutions. They are more committed to finding the best solution than to getting their way." And a critical thinker "has confidence that, in the long nm, one's own higher interests and those of human kind at large will be best served by giving the freest play to reason, despite the deep-seated obstacles in the native character of the human mind and in society as we know it."
Yes, reason is useful, it is noble and desirable, it should be highly valued and carefully developed. But we should keep things in perspective, regarding what reason can accomplish. Probably most of us will agree with Paul (about the value of critical thinking) but also with the majority of experts (that becoming skilled at critical thinking does not guarantee that this powerful tool will always be used for the benefit of others).
A person who is good at critical thinking is______.
A.a good critical thinker
B.skilled at projects
C.good at arguments
D.unlikely to deceive people
A.Because the market has both up and down years.
B.Because you can get bigger guaranteed returns.
C.Because 30% returns can be achieved with the right stocks.
D.Because you have to weather the storm.
