ranks and salary grades that classify employees according to their experience and expertise。It seems natural that since employees differ in their experience and expertise，．their ranks and salary grades should corre—spondingly be different．Besides，the difference may，to some extent，stimulate the more experienced and skilled to work better，and the less experienced and skilled to work harder to catch up．In a sense，competition among employees may bring big profits to their business。However，the reality is by nomeans as simple．People come to realize that the many ranks and salary grades which are intended to serve as stimuli or yardsticks of experience and expertise may end up being barriers and doing more harms to both the employees themselves and the corporations they work for．First，the so-called experience and expertise are practically hard to define．In fact，they constitute a con—tinuum between the highly experienced iand expertise and the very low．On the other hand，those employees who entered the business at the same time and on the same positions may differ greatly in terms of their experi． ence and expertise due to their background，attitudes toward work as well as many other factors．Even for a same employee，his or her experience and expertise are on the change with time．Not a single system of rankand salary can be so flexible as to deal with the difference and change well。Therefore，the many ranks and sal—ary grades are practically impossible to reflect the reality properly．Secondly，people usually take it for granted that ranks and salary grades serve as motivations in the employees’work．As a matter of fact。employees’work for a great many reasons．“Sel~interest’’in its broadest sense’including the interests of one’s family and friends，is an underlying motivation of workin all societies。However’self-interest is not simply the stepping—up on the ladder of ranks and the accumulation of wealth．It is more of a desire for approval，a sense of duty，丑wish to conform to CUS— tom，a feeling of emulation and a pleasure in craftsmanship． Thirdly’the present．day situation makes the ranks and"salary grades hard to exist．Traditionally， building a career meant moving up and a pay-raise by means of increased responsibility and promotion to a summit ruled by the limits of personal competence。This progression was ideal for people planning a career of 20 to 30 years in one corporation．But for good or ill，the conditions that made it possible are vanishing。For employees，when vertical advancement becomes hard，employees’lateral movement。 which involves a change in jobs，becomes frequent and．active．Last but not least，the many ranks and salary grades tend to form boundaries and divisions among employees，which restrict the flow of informattion．In this case。a．flat．organizational structure has the obvious advantages of easier cdmmunication：．more mutual support，collegiality and cooperation． Therefore，corporations and other．businesses should carry OUt reforms and liberate from the tradi． tional ideas．They should try their best to eliminate the unnecessary and even harmful ranks and salary grades．Being‘flat’with no barriers wil！turn，out to be more efficient and profitable．Topic 4 “0f all the manifestations of power’restraint in the use of that power impresses people most。”Explain what you think this quotation means a．nd discuss the extent to which you agree of disagree with it。Develop your position with reasons and／or specific examples drawn from history，currentevents，or your own experience，observations’or reading．Sample Essay OneThis quote means essentially that people admire powerful individuals who do not use their power to the utmost to achieve their goals but rather use only the minimum amount required to attain them．While this view is admirable in the abstract，the statement is inaccurate in that it fails to reflect how people actually behave． The popularity of“revenge”movies aptly illustrates that many people are not impressed with indi—viduals who use restraint when exercising their power。In these movies the protagonist is typically por—trayed as having certain physical abilities that would enable him to easily defeat the various adversaries he enC0unters．In the initial confrontations with these individuals he typically refrains from using his abilities to def6at them．The audience，however，soon grows tired of this，and when the hero finally loses control and completely demolishes his opponent，they burst into applause．This homey example strongly suggests that many people are more impressed with the use of power than with the restraint of its use．The Gulf War provides another example of a situation where restraint in the use of power was not widelv acClaimed。When the allied forces under the command of General Schwartzkoff showed restraint by not annihilating the retreating Iraqi army．the general was widely criticized by the public for not using the force available to him to eliminate this potential enemy once and（0r a1L．！、his example shows once again that often people are not impressed by individuals who exhibit restraint in using their power．’In conclusion．the examples cited above clearly indicate that。contrary to the view expressed in the quote．mnny一if not most：people are more impressed with individuals who utilize their power to the utmost than with those who exercise restraint in the use of their power．Sample Essay TwoWhen 1 was in high sch001．my teacher once asked a question；Of all the elements and life quali． ties．what do you prefer the most among friendship，happiness．security．power and money？Almost all the boys chose power．Why？They said power would bring them everything．……TOP 其它信息 装帧：平装页数：357 版次：2002年12月第1版开本：16开
