19、r each question or statement. This section totals 20 points, two points for each question.Passage OneWhat a lovely place Xerox is to work! Kim Moloney, a client services executive, cant say enough nice things about her employer. Its a very special environment, she says. People describe Xerox as a fa

20、mily and I was amazed at the number of people who have worked here for so long. Its tempting to take Moloneys comments with a pinch of salt, especially considering that when youve been working somewhere for only two years, as she has at Xerox, everyone seems old and established. But theres truth beh

21、ind her enthusiasm.Take Carole Palmer, the group resources director. She joined Xerox in 1978 as a temp and has been in her present role for seven years. Xerox has been good to me over the years, she says. It has supported me through qualifications and last year I took part in the vice-president inc

22、umbent program. Human resources is taken seriously at Xerox, Palmer says, and the company has a policy of promoting from within (which would explain Moloneys amazement at her colleagues longevity). The company takes on only fifteen to twenty graduates each year and Moloney was part of an intake who

23、joined having already acquired a couple of years work experience. She started as a project manager for Xerox Global Services before moving into sales. Now her responsibility is to grow and maintain customer relationships.Moloney is based at the head office in Uxbridge. Its great in terms of working

24、environment, she says. Weve just got a new provider in the canteen and we have brainstorming rooms and breakout areas. Much of Moloneys role is visiting clients, so she doesnt have a permanent desk at head office. Im a hot-desker, which is good because you get to sit with different people in the hot

25、-desk areas. And youre given a place to store your things. Head office staff numbers between 1,200 and 1,500 people, Palmer says. The company has four other main offices in the UK. The nature of the organization, which encompasses sales and marketing, global services (the biggest division), developi

26、ng markets, research and development and manufacturing, means that the opportunities at the company vary from service engineers to sales roles and consultants.Perks include a final-salary pension scheme and various discount schemes. The reward and recognition scheme is a little different, and rather

27、 nice: Each manager has a budget every year to recognize and reward staff, Palmer says. It can be in the form of a meal for two, or a bottle of wine. It can be up to 1,000. Theres the recognition, and then theres putting money behind it. Moloney, however, likes the non-cash rewards. Xerox takes care

28、 of all its staff but it also recognizes the people who put in the added effort, she says. It offers once-in-a-lifetime incentive trips, and recently I organized a sailing trip for my team.The idea of working abroad with the company appeals to her, and she says that her career goal is to be part of

29、the senior management team. Heres another employee, it would seem, who is in it for the long haul.（ ）1The journalist of this article thinks that .A. staff at Xerox are not telling the truth abut the company.B. Xerox offers great benefits to staff.C. Xerox is the best company in the world.D. Xerox ha

30、s the best working environment.（ ）2The company tends to find its new manager .A. only form graduates B. on training coursesC. from existing staff D. from job markets（ ）3What does the phrase “to take on” in the sentence “The company takes on only fifteen to twenty graduates each year and ” of the second paragraph mean? .A.
