　　Semco

　　At 21，Ricardo Semler became boss of his father'S business in Brazil，Semco，which sold parts for ships．Semler Junior worked like a madman，from 7：30 am，until midnight every day．One afternoon，while touring a factory in New York，he collapsed．The doctor who treated him said，"There's nothing wrong with you．But if you continue like this．you'll find a new home in our hospital．"Semler got the message．He changed the way he worked．In fact，he changed the ways his employees worked too．

　　He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went wrong．He allowed them to set their own salaries，and he cut all the jobs he thought were unnecessary，like receptionists and secretaries．__________(46)．"Everyone at Semco，even top managers，meets guests in reception，does the photocopying，sends faxes，types letters and dials the phone．"

　　He completely reorganized the office：instead of walls，they have plants at Semco，SO bosses can't shut themselves away from everyone else．__________(47)．As for uniforms，some people wear suits and others wear T-shirts．

　　Semler says，"We have a sales manager named Rubin Agater who sits there reading the newspaper hour after hour．He doesn't even pretend to be busy．But when a Semco pump on the other side of the world fails，millions of gallons of oil are about to spill into the sea．Rubin springs into action．_________(48)．That'S when he earns his salary．No one cares if he doesn't look busy the rest of the time．"

　　Semco has flexible working hours：the employees decide when they need to arrive at work．The employees also evaluate their bosses twice a year．________(49)．

　　It sounds perfect，but does it work? The answer is in the numbers：in the last six years，Semco'S revenues have gone from$35 million to$212 million．The company has grown from eight hundred employees to 3，000．Why?

　　Semler says it's because of"peer pressure"．Peer pressure makes employees work hard for everyone else．_________(50)．In other words，Ricardo Semler treats his workers like aduhs and expects them to act like adults．And they do．

　　A．This saved money and brought more equality to the company．

　　B．He knows everything there is to know about our pumps and how to fix them．

　　C．And the workers are free to decorate their workspace as they want．

　　D．Most managers spend their time making it difficult for workers to work．

　　E．If someone isn't doing his job well，the other workers will not allow the situation to continue．

　　F．Also，Semco lets its workers use the company's machines for their own projects，and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year．

　　参考答案及解析

　　46．A [解析]本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。上一句说到"他允许他们自己制定薪水，但会削减他认为不必要的，比如像接待员和秘书这样的工作"，而下一句应该解释这种做法的原因。选项A说明"这样可以减少开支，并给公司带来更多平等"，与上下文联系最紧密，因此选A。

　　47．C [解析]本题考查的是对段落主旨的理解和对文章细节的把握。本段主要讲semler如何改造公司的外表，而选项中只有C提到这方面的内容，"员工可以随意装饰自己的工作空间"放在这里是和前后两句话的并列。因此选C。

　　48．B [解析]本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。上一句说到"但如果Semco在地球另一端的油泵坏了，上百万加仑的油即将注入大海时，Robin就会立刻跳起来行动"，下一句需要说到Robin怎样行动，因此选项B"他了解关于我们公司油泵的任何事情，并能修理"最符合题目要求。

　　49．F [解析]本题考查的是对段落主旨的理解和对文章细节的把握。这一段讲述了Semco给予员工的自由，而选项中只有F"Semco也允许员工用公司的机器做自己的项目，并且一年至少能休假30天"与此内容相关，因此选F。

　　50．E [解析]本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解。上一句说到同伴的压力让员工努力为他人工作，而下一句应具体解释这种压力如何发挥作用。选项E"如果有人表现不好。其他人会制止这一局面"延续了这一句的内容。因此选E。
