Technical and technological skills will take on greater importance. There will be a growing need for people who can understand and fix systems―from computer systems to product distribution (分配) systems to plumbing (流通) systems.
Visionary skills (想象能力) will be in demand. The ability to gather and absorb a wide range of input,then use that knowledge,understanding,and view to guide organization into future,will be vital.
Numbers and measurement will be important,of course,but smoothing the flow from month to month,from quarter to quarter will be essential for highly profitable longterm performance. Practically every company will have to move away from today's puzzlement with looking ahead only as far as the next financial reporting period.
Ability to organize will definitely be important in the corporation of the future. Everywhere there will be a need to organize something：resources,workflow,marketing mix,financial opportunities,and much more,all will demand high levels of organization and reorganization.
Persuasive skills will be used in many ways by the corporation of the future,the most effective individuals will be those who know how to present information and ideas so that others can understand and support a particular position. Good salesmanship will be essential in many more interactions than we consider today,especially inside the organization.
Communication skills―careful listening,clear writing,close reading,plain speaking,and accurate description―will be invaluable. In tomorrow's fastpaced business environment there will be precious little time to correct any misunderstandings. Communications breakdown may well become a fatal corporate (企業(yè)) disease.
Ability to learn will be above everything else in importance―enabling people to grow in effectiveness and help their companies achieve desired objectives. Some of this skill is innate (天生的) ，but many people improve their ability to learn―and to relate different aspects of learning―through college and university courses. We believe the liberal arts education experience will prove to be the most valuable type of education for tomorrow's leaders.
The top employees of the coming century will be flexible (靈活的) ，creative and motivated toward making a positive difference in the world. They will seek balance,growth and fulfillment in both their work and home environments. The corporation of the future must respond to these needs and desires;otherwise they will find themselves limited by a lack of qualified people to accomplish the organization's work.
( ) 1. From the passage we know that a person who has visionary skills .
A. does a lot of reading and research
B. always takes everything for granted
C. has a better understanding than others
D. has a foresight of what he is devoted to
( ) 2. The top employee in demand is a person who is .
A. used to waiting for the boss's commands
B. a good organizer as well as a good listener
C. talkative but few people can understand him
D. qualified and experienced but refuse to accept new things
( ) 3. The following statements are wrong EXCEPT .
A. most people were born with the ability to learn
B. some misunderstandings won't influence communication
C. people who are masters in their career are top employees
D. if you can make yourself understood then you are an effective person
( ) 4. Which is the main idea discussed in this passage?
A. Various skills are needed in our modern society.
B. Ability to learn is the most important thing.
C. The corporation of the future must respond properly to new desires.

A water bearer in India had two large pots. One of the pots had a crack in it,and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk,the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For two years this went on daily,with the water bearer delivering one and a half pots full of water to his master's house. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection. After two years of what it had considered to be bitter failure,it spoke one day to the water bearer by the stream.
"I am ashamed of myself,and I want to apologize to you."
"Why?" asked the bearer. "What are you ashamed of?"
"Because this crack in my side I have been able for these last two years to deliver only half my load. Because of my faults,you do not get full value for your efforts," the pot explained.The water bearer felt sorry and said, "As we return to the master's house,I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path."Indeed,as they went up the hill,the cracked pot took notice of the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path,and this cheered it some. But at the end of the path,it still felt bad because it had still leaked half of its load,and so again the pot apologized to the bearer for its failure. The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path,but not on the other pot's side? That is because I have always known about your weakness,and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path,and every day while we walk back from the stream,you have watered them. For two years I have been able to pick those beautiful flowers to decorate my master's table. Without you being just the way you are,he would not have this beauty."
Each of us has our own unique weakness. We are all cracked pots. But if we will allow it,the Lord will use our weakness to grace His Father's table. In God's great economy,nothing goes to waste. Don't be ashamed of your weakness. Acknowledge them,and you too can be the cause of beauty. Know that in our weakness we find our strength.

A. Desperate. B. Proud. C. Guilty. D. Faulty.

Narrator： (scene shows an old woman,washing her supper dishes) For several years,a widow has lived in her own pleasant tworoom and kitchenette apartment in a rebuilt brownstone near East River. Her late husband,Mr. H. T. Miller,had left a fair amount of insurance money before he passed away. Mrs. Miller is,in fact,not an average sixty-one-year-old woman;she has little interest outside her apartment,has no friends to speak of,and she only ventures out as far as a nearby grocery store.

(Mrs. Miller sits down on her couch,reading through the afternoon newspaper.)

Personal finance is an increasingly complex world. There are more ways to invest money,more ways to save it,and more ways to lose it. Yet many people are more strangers to this world than they might like to admit.
Starting young to teach financial literacy.
In the United States,there are growing calls to do more to help young people learn skills in financial literacy. Some efforts begin in high school. But more and more information is available on the Internet,not only for young people but also for adults. The goal is to teach about budgeting,saving,investing and using money.
The United States Financial Literacy and Education Commission was established in two thousand three. This government group supervises financial education efforts through nineteen federal agencies.
Information on financial literacy and education can be found at its Web site. The address is My Money,gov. It includes links to agencies that deal with banking,buying a home,investing and other areas.
The National Council on Economic Education has found that seventeen states now require high school students to take a class in economics. This number has grown from thirteen in nineteen ninetyeight.
As of three years ago,half of all states required students to take a class in personal finance. Yet that number has fallen from twentyfive to twentytwo.
The National Council on Economic Education sells textbooks for grades four through twelve. It also offers free materials for teachers. The information is available at ncee.net.
Teachers say parents also need to play a larger part in educating their children about money. A recent study found that seventy percent of college students said they received financial advice mainly from their parents.
Investment companies also offer information. Charles Schwab,for example,has a Web site to help parents teach their kids about money and investing. The address is SchwabMoneyWise. com.
One of the first tastes of financial independence that many young people get is through summer jobs. Junior Achievement is an organization that teaches young people about finance and business. It says almost threefourths of young people questioned said they planned to have a summer job.
