Chicago thinks you may have dropped over our way and phones us she wants to have a word with you. Going quietly, are you? That’s sensible. Now before we go to the station here’s a note I was asked to hand you. You may read it here at the window. It’s from Patrolman Wells.\His hand was steady when he began to read, but it trembled a little by the time he finished. The note was rather short. Bob: I was at the right place on time.

Nowadays，most employees of local high-tech industries are below the age of 35，and for newly rising industries such as computer software and the Internet，the figure is below 30．People in this age bracket(阶层) are known as Generation-X，which is made up of those born between 1963 and 1981(i. e. those aged between 17 and 35)．Compared with those born from 1946 to 1960，Generation-X are typically independent, they also have their shortcomings．Employers often complain that Generation-X are a group hard to manage．Although willingness and enthusiasm(热情)are highly valued by Generation-X，they will not accept orders blindly．In short，Generation-X will not accept authoritarian(权力主义) leadership．They expect their
leaders to have a detailed understanding of the job， and most importantly，to treat them as an important member of them-as partners．
As a result, managing Generation-X employees is not only a science but also an art．There are basic guidelines to follow in managing them and helping them perform at their best：
1．Support them in their quest(追求)for knowledge skills； 2．Room for creativity and failure：
3．Provide frequent and timely feedback(反馈)； 4．Provide communication channels
If managers follow these basic guidelines，they may find that the employees they once considered as young， selfish and uncontrollable turn out to be responsible， energetic team players．
60．Generation-X in this article refers to the group of people who are______．
A．educated employees below the age of 35 B．young hard-working workers in factories
C．disliked by the managers
D．born after the year of 1963
61．From the article we know that the writer ______．
A．thinks highly of Generation-X B．feels disappointed with Generation-X
C．has a perfect understanding of Generation-X
D．suggests that the managers be strict with Generation-X 62．Employers often complain about Generation-X because ______． A．these young people will not accept their leadership B．they don’t understand their employees’job C．managing this group of people is no easy job
D．they don’t know how to manage and help this group of people 63．If you were a manager working with Generation-X， you should ______． A．treat them as equals and encourage them to try new ideas B．give them orders frequently and make them work hard C．let them know they are selfish and uncontrollable D．warn them that they may lose jobs at any time C
When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.
Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
