Instructions: There are four passages. Read each passage carefully and then answer the
questions that follow. Write your answers in the provided space
Passage 1
Marks & Spencer (or M&S) is Britain's favourite store. It bases its business on three principles:
good value, good quality, and good service. Also, it changes with the times _
once it was all
jumpers and knickers. Now it's food, furniture, and flowers as well. Top fashion designers
advise on styles of clothes. But perhaps the most important key to its success is its happy,
welJ-trained staff. Conditions of work arc; excellent. There arc company doctors, dentists,
hairdressers. and even chiropodists to look after the staff, and all the staff can have lunch for

Buses in London arc cheap, convenient, and give a frequent and comprehensive service
throughout the central area and the suburbs. You choose }'our bus by the number and
destination shown on the front and you can consult the detailed bus map (availabJe at Travel
Enquiry Offices and Underground stations), or the Visitor's bus map on the other side of the
folder. Most bus stops show which bus numbers stop there, give details of whG're the buses go
and may sho\v a map of the other stops in the area. If you arc not sure which bus to catch,
other people in the queue will probably be able to help you. (Don't forget to queue up, British
stvle. .when waiting for the bus. It's fairer for everybody).

Passage 3

There arc different sorts of business meeting, and how the participants behave varies from
country to country. Meetings in Haly seem to be the most informal in Europe. Thc." don't
usually foHm\.' an agenda and people often come and go as the)' please.
(n fact, sometimes
Italian meetings arc l110re like a social gathering, used to reinforce a sense of togetherness. It's
very different in Spain, where meetings do litt1c to create a team spirit. The Spanish prefer to be
independent and make decisions on their own. Meetings arc often a waste of time bc.cause it is
impossible to get everyone to agree.

Passage 4
The ~Japanese have a special \va:' of making decisions. They call it the consensus system. This

is how it \\'orks. When a firm is thinking of taklng a certain action, it encourages workers at all
levels to discuss the proposal and give their opinions. The purpose is to reach general
agreement. A.s soon as everyone agrees on the right course of action, the decision is taken.

Because of this method, a, group of workers, rather than one person, is responsible for
company policies. One advantage of this is that decisions come from a mixturc of cxpcrience

staff frequently suggests ideas for change
