　　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 worring 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 cann'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 othe other side of the world failes 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 800 employees t0 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 adults and expects them to act like adults. And they do.

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

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

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

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

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

　　F. Also, Semco lets its workers use the company's machiners for their own projects, and makes

　　them take holidays for at least thirty days a year.

　　参考答案及解析

　　46.B [解析]该空格前一句提到Semler去掉了一些不是必须的工作岗位，例如秘书和接待员，而后面一句就说明这样做的好处：既经济又平等，即B选项的内容。

　　47.C[解析]该段主要讲的是办公室的结构变化，例如老板和员工的办公室都是用植物隔开的，还提到了员工的着装也较为自由，因此这里选C合适，即：员工可以随心所欲地装饰他们自己的办公室。

　　48.D[解析]该段以负责公司油泵维修的Rubin Agater为例来做说明。该段前一句提到公司的油泵( pump)出问题了，而Rubin Agater是这方面的专家。因此选D。

　　49.F[解析]该段第一句即说明该公司在工作时间和其他方面的灵活性和对员工的自由度和益处，例如员工可以自己决定几点来上班。只有F选项的内容（使用公司的机器用来做自己的项目，而且员工每年有至少三十天的假期）和这一思路吻合。

　　50.A [解析]该段前两句中提到：Semler说这源自同事的压力，来自同事的压力让每一个员工为其他员工努力工作。因此选A。
