| Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them. The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors (处理器), or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast. There are many advantages in using a word processor for both the secretary and the manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as retyping letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a manager's point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours. But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (显示器). The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safe screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them. Whatever the arguments for and against word processors, they are a key feature (特征) of this revolution in office practice. |

| Winston Churchill was born into a famous family. His father was a successful politician. However, as a boy, Churchill was considered a slow learner in school. Later he entered the Army and saw action in various countries. In October 1900, Churchill began his political career. For the next sixty years Churchill's work as a great politician was both brighter and more difficult than his father had been. In 1939, Germany attacked Poland. Churchill prepared to fight. In 1940 he became the Prime Minster of England. France fell. The Germans fought their way through Western Europe. It looked as if Britain was about to lose the war. Was it not possible to ask for peace, and listen to Hitler? Churchill spoke, "I have nothing to offer but blood, hard work, tears and sweat (汗)...You ask what is our policy (政策)? I will tell you, it is to fight, by sea, by land and air, with all our force and with all the strength that God can give us. You ask what is our aim? I can answer in one word: victory." The Germans began moving their armies to the French coast and prepared to go to war with the British. The British had not enough guns to go round. Churchill gave the answer:"We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the coasts, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the field and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never give up." By his courage and hard work Churchill heartened his people and other nations fighting together against Hitler. Victory finally came when the Germans lost World War Ⅱ. Churchill died in 1965 and was given a State Funeral (国葬). This was a fitting payment to one of all the greatest men the world had ever seen. |

| When I was in Germany, one day at Christmas-time I went to a post office to send a letter. To my 1 I found people queuing (排队) some paces away from the person at the saving deposit window. 2 so? Each did his business 3 but the line never moved a step 4 . I was very 5 , so I walked to the window to find out the cause. There was a notice on which was written "Thank you for your 6 for other's privacy (隐私)" -a polite 7 to keep people away from interfering into other's 8 (money matters are regarded as privacy in Western countries). I was deeply impressed by the 9 and stayed a while to watch: they were waiting so 10 at a distance that they seemed quite 11 to the practice. The 12 thing happened at a public telephone box. 13 waiting for their turns always kept their distance-enough to be out of 14 . It's another typical example! From then on I 15 to watch their ways of doing things, manners, treatment 16 towards others. I found the Germans always mindful of other's privacy. They avoided putting others in an embarrassing (窘迫) situation. For instance, they never 17 about age, incomes or the place to buy such a coat, 18 would they comment on the others or jewelry others wore. Their laws 19 reading diaries or opening letters without permission. That shows 20 matters are not allowed to be disturbed. | ||||
