For many managers, “team building” means two days spent doing role-playing exercises in a conference hotel far from head office. But perhaps a more effective way to build teams is simply by playing real team sports, such as soccer, cricket(板球) or softball.
David Clark, a project manager at Atisreal
Louise Aston, human resources director, says, “Not only does it promote health, but it can knock leadership on the head. The person who’s best at soccer could well be a fellow who works in the warehouse(倉庫). Then this confidence will be built.”
Another reason companies are eager to promote team sports is that they are relatively cheap. Peter Mills, chief health officer at Vielife, says, “The contributions a company might make towards running a sports team － paying its league fees, for example － are pretty small compared to other expenditure(開支) in the field of health.”
However, experts warn people that there is a potential downside. Sports are, by their nature, competitive and not everyone is good at them. “There are people who can be a bit shy and you need to ensure you don’t ignore them. So you might use introductory days that only beginners go to. The emphasis is on sports such as soccer and netball, but by way of recognition that not everyone likes sweaty exercise, there is also chess,” they say.
As a whole, managers should take different measures to build teams according to the characters of different people.

Directions: The following people are expressing their thoughts (1--5) to show their concern for food, environment and so on. After that are pieces of related information (A--F). Now decide which piece of information would be most suitable for the thought and idea mentioned in questions61---65 and mark your answer letter (A---F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.
______ How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were. Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away.
___ More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.
______ Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides (農藥).
_____I’m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides.
______ Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.
A. “Organic produce is always better,” Gold said. “The food is free of pesticides, and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty.” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.
B. Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences - but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand. “The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market,” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.
C. Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.
D. However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”
E. Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels (標簽) to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufacturing (制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.
F. The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.” The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

“There has been increasing 41 about exposure from the new generation of personal music players which can reproduce sounds at very 42 volumes without loss of quality,” the Commission, the EU’s executive branch, 43 in the report.
“Risk for hearing damage depends on sound level and 44 time,” it said. “More and more young people were 45 with the significant threat that leisure noise brought to 46 .”
The scientists 47 the number of people in that risk category at between five and ten cent of listeners, 48 up to 10 million people in the European Union.
49 of personal music players have sharply increased in EU countries’ market in recent years, 50 of MP3 players.
Mobile phones which are used 51 too high a volume also came under 52 from Meglena Kuneva, the EU’s consumer affairs commissioner.
“I’m concerned that so many young people…who are 53 users of personal music players and mobile phones at high volume levels, may be 54 damaging their hearing,” she said in the statement.

There are thousands of things to be sold that are of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are good enough for you to have a try. How packaging(包裝)is the quiet but persuading salesman?
There on the shelves，each bottle, can and box has been carefully designed to speak to the inner self of the consumer(消費者), so that he is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied on this and found that the look of the package has a great influence on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.
Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years，the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it’s very good for your body. And the word “green" today can keep food prices going up.
Shapes are another attraction．Circles often mean happiness, because they are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M sings of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.
This new consumer response(反應)to the colors and shapes of packages reminds(提醒)producers and sellers that people buy to meet the needs of both body and heart.
【小題1】According to the passage, ______ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.
| A．the pleasing color of the package |
| B．the special taste of the product |
| C．the strange shape of the package |
| D．the belief in the product |
| A．vegetable dish | B．healthy juice |
| C．hard drink | D．red vegetable |
| A．starting to notice the importance of new food |
| B．enjoying the beauty of nature more than before |
| C．beginning to like green vegetables |
| D．paying more attention to their health |
| A．Colors and Shapes |
| B．Packaging Can Talk |
| C．The response to the packages |
| D．What is packing? |
