According to a study conducted in 2010, about 39% companies blocked employees access to Facebook. They think some employees spend their entire day sitting glued to Facebook, up dating and commenting, which has a negative effect on their work. However, their banning isn’t widely accepted. Some reasons are listed why employees should be allowed access to Facebook.
First, they think it’s essential to take a break after working for hours. Employees may beworking hard to find a particular solution, but cannot come up with anything. Browsing(浏览)through Facebook can help them get inspired to find solutions in a different way and be successfulat it.
Blocking access to Facebook means that the employer doesn’t trust the employees. People are dissatisfied with the company if they’re not allowed access to Facebook. In order to keep people productive, it’s essential that they are kept happy. Therefore, allowing access to Facebook means that the employees are given a certain amount of freedom and bear responsibility for their actions.
Today many companies have pages on Facebook which they use for spreading news and something about products. If Facebook pages are blocked in an office, how will employees like or share something from the company page? Employees can also interact with each other through Facebook. It creates a sense of bonding and they get along well with each other. Keeping in touch through Facebook helps in strengthening their relations.
As far as I’m concerned, whether an organization should ban Facebook depends largely onfactors like its culture, type of work, Internet policy, business goals, etc. As far as the employees are concerned, most of them will be in support of allowing access to Facebook. With the advantages, there are potential disadvantages and the organization should always give preference to the option which will work in its best interest. 33. What does the author want to say in Paragraph 3?
A. Allowing access to Facebook is helpful in building trust. B. Employees are not happy without access to Facebook. C. Blocking access to Facebook disables employees. D. More freedom should be given to employees. 34. What use do many companies make of Facebook? A. Communicating with other companies. B. Selling their products online. C. Promoting their reputation.
D. Strengthening employees’ relations.
35. What advice does the author give to those who ban Facebook? A. Making Internet policy. B. Developing their culture.
C. Having a business goal. D. Considering many factors. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Steps to Begin Your Path to Greatness
Do you know there is something greater for you? Do you have ideas on what that may be, but can’t make them happen? Here are four steps to help you get started: 36 Many times we live based on others’ expectations. Own your path. It can be hard to do, but allow yourself to focus on your heart. Look within yourself deeply, and decide what you want and what’s true for you. Take action.
There’s no better time to create the life you want than right this very moment! 37 To get started, you just need to put one foot in front of the other. Baby steps are key! If you want to start going to the gym, going from 0 day a week to 5 days a week right away is extreme. Instead, start slow and go once or twice a week. 38 Be determined.
Even if you’re working hard towards your goal, there may be blocks on the road—don’t give up. 39 So if you’re trying to eat better, and you have a day when you aren’t sticking to the plan, don’t give up. Accept that moment, and then keep moving forward. Have the right support.
40 List the right support to cheer you on in the process. It could be a friend or a family member. Or, a 3rd party like a coach can give you an outsider perspective. Whoever it may be, having someone you can trust will be just what you need to keep you on track. A. Don’t do it alone.
B. Follow your own heart. C. Timing is never perfect.
D. Depend entirely on yourself .
E. Action always speaks louder than words.
F. Over time, you will achieve your goal by taking realistic and smaller steps.
G. These blocks help you grow and make you stronger every time you get past them. 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节,满分45分)
