Corporate social Responsibility a new concept of “market”
Maybe Ben & Jerry’s and The Body Shop set themselves up for a fall by appearing to have a monopoly on making an honest buck. But their struggles are a lesson on how little we know about the minefield of “ethical” marketing. The Body Shop, along with the American ice cream maker Ben and Jerry’s, was hailed as a new breed of green, or environmentally conscious, business.
Ben and Jerry’s
A Ben & Jerry’s offers a very sweet benefits package to employees. First, every one of the 700+ Ben & Jerry’s workers is entitled to three free pints of ice cream, sorbet or frozen yogurt per day worked. (Some workers use allotments of their free treats to barter for other goods and services in town such as haircuts. ) Beyond the freebies, personnel receive a 50% discount on the company’s frozen goodies, a 40% discount on merchandise and a further 30%break on non-Ben & Jerry’s foods at company outlets.
B Workers are further entitled to paid family leave and may take advantage of the Employee Stock Purchase Program to purchase company stock (after six months with the organization) at a 15%discount. Beginning in , 316 stock options are awarded to each worker (excluding directors and officers) and stock is also assigned to each employee’s 401K plan at the end of the calendar year. These contributions are intended to achieve the company’s goal of linked prosperity, i. e. to assure that future prosperity is widely shared by all employees.
C Other benefits include:
Health insurance, including coverage for well baby-care and mammograms
Life insurance (twice the employee’s annual salary)
Dental insurance
Long-term disability plan paying 60% of salary six months after
disability for duration of disability
Short-term disability plan paying 60% of salary for six months
Maternity leave with full pay for six weeks after delivery
The Body Shop
D History of The Body Shop Anita Roddick started The Body Shop with a mere £4, 000 and a dream. With over 1, 900 stores in 50 countries. The Body Shop was founded in 1976 in Brighton, England. From her original shop, which offered a line of 25 different lotions, creams, and oils, Roddick became the first successful marketer of body care products that combined natural ingredients with ecologically-benign manufacturing processes. Her company’s refusal to test products on animals, along with an insistence on no exploitative labor practices among suppliers around the world, appealed especially to upscale, mainly middleclass women, who were and have continued to be the company’s primary market. As sales boomed, even the conservative financial markets approved of The Body Shop‘’s impressive profit picture, and a public stock offering in 1984was successful. An expansion campaign followed. In 1988 the company entered the U. S. market by opening a store in New York City, and by the company boasted 1, 500 stores, including franchises, in 47 countries. Anti-marketing seemed to be smart marketing, at least as far as The Body Shop was concerned.
E Part of the secret of The Body Shop’s early success was that it had created a market niche for itself. The company was not directly competing against the traditional cosmetics companies, which marketed their products as fashion accessories designed to cover up flaws and make women look more like the fashion models who appeared in their lavish ads. Instead, The Body Shop offered a line of products that promised benefits other than appearance―healthier skin, for instance―rather than simply a better-looking complexion. The company is known for pioneering the natural-ingredient cosmetic market and establishing social responsibility as an integral part of company operations. The Body Shop is known for its ethical stances, such as its monetary donations to the communities in which it operates, and its business partnerships with developing countries. In 1988 Roddick opened her first store in the United States, and by that time―through various social initiatives such as the “Stop the Burn” campaign to save the Brazilian rainforest (the source of many of the company’s natural ingredients, and strong support of employee volunteerism―The Body Shop name had become synonymous with social activism and global preservation worldwide. The company had also become immensely profitable.
F By the mid-1990s, however, The Body Shop faced growing competition, forcing it to begin its first major advertising initiative, the most prominent part of which was the “Ruby” campaign. The campaign was personified by Ruby, a doll with Rubenesque proportions who was perched on an antique couch and who looked quite pleased with herself and her plump frame. Randy Williamson, a spokesperson for The Body Shop, said, “Ruby is the fruit of our long-established practice of challenging the way the cosmetic industry talks to women. The Ruby campaign is designed to promote the idea that The Body Shop creates products designed to enhance features, moisturize, cleanse, and polish, not to correct ‘flaws. ’ The Body Shop philosophy is that there is real beauty in everyone. We are not claiming that our products perform miracles. ”
G The Competition the Body Shop lost market share in the late 1990’s to product-savvy competitors that offered similar cosmetics at lower prices. The main competitors are H20, Sephora, Bath and Body Works, and Origins. Research Results Research showed that women appreciate The Body Shop for its ethical standards. They are pleased by companies with green actions, not promises. The research proved that The Body Shop has been put on the back burner in many people’s minds: overcrowded by newer, fresher Brands. Companies like the Body Shop continually hype their products through advertising and marketing, often creating a demand for something where a real need for it does not exist. The message pushed is that the route to happiness is through buying more and more of their products. Under such consumerism, the increasing domination of multinationals and their standardised products is leading to global cultural conformity. Other downfall factors also include misleading the public, low pay and against unions, exploiting indigenous people ; Also the mass production, packaging and transportation of huge quantities of goods is using up the world’s resources faster than they can be renewed and filling the land, sea and air with dangerous pollution and waste.
H The Problem The Body Shop has used safe and timid advertising over the last decade, decreasing market share and brand value. With the rise of new, more natural and environmentally friendly competitors, The Body Shop can no longer stand behind being the greenest or most natural. The Solution The Body Shop is the originator of ethical beauty with our actions speaking louder than our words. This is the new direction of The Body Shop. We will be a part of different acts of kindness in big cities. We will eliminate unwanted graffiti, purify city air, and give the customer an opportunity to be a part of something good.

从09年6月的大学英语四级考试快速阅读理解题来看, 本次的快速阅读题与去年6月份的快速阅读题在文体上大致相同, 既存在大标题, 也存在小标题, 文章篇幅也大体相当, 但与去年12月份的快速阅读题相比, 有较大差异。今年的快速阅读的题目难度来讲和去年12月份相比应该是有一个下降的程度, 由于去年12月份的快速阅读题难度过高, 段落也比较多, 今年的难度从形式和内容上都回归了常态。第1~7题都相对简单, 基本都可以在原文中找到“信息”, 能在原文中可以直接找到答案的类型。而第8题虽然是填空题, 但从句子意思的理解上来看也是直接信息的转换题。此外, 难度稍大的应该是第9和10题。难在对生词的词义理解上难, 而且形式也要写对;同时, 第10题不能直接在原文中找到现成的答案的, 需要在对文章的理解基础上做出归纳和总结才能做对。下面, 笔者以2009年6月CET4快速阅读理解真题为例进行详细的分析, 并提出具体的解题技巧。
★真题呈现 (保留原题号)
How do you see Diversity
As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company.During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact.She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise.
He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said“untrustworthy”, so she decided to off the job to her second choice.
“It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person, ”Tiffany confesses.What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s“different”behavior was simply a culture misunderstanding.He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting (避开) your eyes.
“I was just thrown off by the lack of eye contact;not realizing it was cultural, ”Tiffany says.“I missed out, but will not miss that opportunity again.”
Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different.As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our understanding of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions.
Hire Advantage
At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult, employers who can eliminate invalid biases (偏见) from the process have a distinct advantage.My company, Mindsets LLC, helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots.A rea estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make.
“During my Mindsets coaching session, I was taught how to recruit a diversified workforce I recruited people from different cultures and skill sets.The agents were able to utilize their full potential and experiences to build up the company.When the real estate market began to change.It was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to stay in the real estate market much longer than other in the same profession.”
Blinded by Gender
Dale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops on supervising a diverse workforce.“Though one of the sessions, I discovered my personal bias, ”he recalls.“I learned I had not been looking at a person as a whole person, and being open to differences.”In his case, the blindness was not about culture but rather gender.
“I had a management position open in my department;and the two finalists were a man and a woman.Had I not attended this workshop, I would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel.My reasoning would have been that even though both candidates were great and could have been successful in the position, I assumed the woman would have wanted to be home with her children and not travel.”
Dale’s assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits and organization’s to tap into the full potential if a diverse workforce.
“I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation, I needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to call candidates and allow them to make an informed decision.”Dale credits the workshop, “because it helped me make an informed decision based on fairness.”
Year of the Know-It-All
Doug is another supervisor who attended one of my workshops.He recalls a major lesson learned from his own employee.
“One of my most embarrassing moments was when I had a Chinese-American employee put in a request to take time off to celebrate Chinese New Year.In my ignorance, I assumed he had his date wrong, as the first of January had just passed.when I advised him of this, I gave him a long talking-to about turning in requests early with the proper dates.”
“He patiently waited, and then when I was done, he said he would like Chinese New Year off.Not the Western New Year.He explained politely that in this culture the New Year did not begin January the first, and that Chinese New Year, which is tied to the lunar cycle, is one of the most celebrated holidays on the Chinese calendar.Needless to say, I felt very embarrassed in assuming he had his dates mixed up.But I learned a great deal about assumptions, and that the timing of holidays varies considerably from culture to culture.”
“Attending the diversity workshop helped me realize how much I could learn by simply asking questions and creating dialogues with my employees, rather than making assumptions and trying to be a know-it-all”Doug admits.“The biggest thing I took away from the workshop is learning how to be more‘inclusive’to difference.”
A Better Bottom Line
An open mind about diversity not only improves organizations internally, it is profitable as well.These comments from a customer service representative show how an inclusive attitude can improve sales.“Most of my customers speak English as a second language.One of the best things my company has done is to contract with a language service that offers translations over the phone.It wasn’t until my boss received Mindsets’training that she was able to understand how important inclusiveness was to customer service.As a result, our customer base has increased.”
Once we start to see people as individuals, and discard the stereotypes, we can move positively toward inclusiveness for everyone.Diversity is about coming together and talking advantage of our differences and similarities.It is about building better communities andorganizations that enhance us as individuals and reinforce our shared humanity.
When we begin to question our assumptions and challenge what we think we have learned from our past, from the media, peers, family, friends, etc., we begin to realize that some of our conclusions are flawed (有缺陷的) or contrary to our fundamental values.We need to train ourselves to think differently, shift our mindsets and realize that diversity opens doors for all of us, creating opportunities in organizations and communities that benefit everyone.

A) radical stereotypes B) invalid personal bias C) cultural ignorance D) emphasis on physical appearance
根据文中第三段中“what she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidates’different behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding.”可知蒂芙尼对候选人做出错误的判断来自于她对不同文化的错误理解。同时, 选项A) , B) , D) 三项与第三段的意思不相符。因此, 本题的答案是:C) 。

根据文中第五段中“it is becoming essential to expand our understanding of others and to reexamine some of our false assumption.”可知因为随着世界变得越来越小以及工作地点的多样化, 所以, 在经济全球化的进程中有必要不断地更新知识和武装自己。因此, 本题的答案是:B) 。
4.What kind of organization is Mindsets LLC?
A) A real estate agency.B) A personnel training company.C) A cultural exchange organization.D) A hi-tech company.
根据文中第六段第二、三、四行“My company, Mindsets LLC, helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots.A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make.”可知Mindsets LLC主要是帮助组织和个人明白他们自己的盲点以便有针对性地进行培训。此外, 在后面一句作者还举了一个例子说Mindsets LLC帮助房地产公司的招聘人员阐述了诸如培训所带来的某些差异。所以, 从这里可以判断出Mindsets LLC是个人事培训公司。因此, 本题的答案是:B) 。

大部分考生对于四、六级阅读部分的选词填空向来“仇恨度爆表”,原因是此题型直指中国学生学习英语的两处软肋:词汇和语法。不过,出现在这一题型选项中的词均为大纲核心词汇,考生必须无条件掌握。下面先看看这次选词填空的选项是否都认识呢?
A. dependent
B. designed
C. fast
D. flying
E. gained
F. give
G. growing
H. launch
I. policy
J. prospect
K. rather
L. reliable
M. signal
N. successful
O. treatments
对于这一题型,考生在解题之前要做的准备工作包括两方面:①标注词性;②读文章首末句。标注词性时,考生只需标注纯名词及副词,因为诸如B (designed)之类的选项无法判断其是形容词用法还是动词的过去式/过去分词的用法。根据这一点,考生预先判断出选项I (policy)、J (prospect)、M (signal)、O (treatments)均为名词;而选项C (fast)、K (rather)为副词。接着考生阅读文章的首末句。由文章首句“Signs barring cell-phone use are a familiar sight to anyone who has ever sat in a hospital waiting room”及末句“Many patients also____(35) a better understanding of the illnesses that landed them in the hospital in the first place”可知文章的主要内容为“电子设备对医院的影响”。
准备工作之后,考生开始正式做题。做题步骤可分为三步:第一步,根据空格前后的句法结构判断其应填单词的词性;第二步,进一步判断、确定选项的词性,并做出筛选;第三步,根据空格所在句子的上下文判断空格所在句子的含义,最终确定最佳选项。然而大多数考生都以为这一题型只考查词汇,因此一开始就从选项的含义出发来解题,如此只会走入出题人的陷阱。下面选取三个有代表性的题目予以解析。
例1 But the ____(26) popularity of electronic medical records has forced hospital-based doctors to become _____(27) on computers throughout the day.
解析:这句话有两个空。就26题而言,考生可按照上述做题步骤来完成。第一步,判断出空格处应填入形容词,用于修饰中心词popularity。第二步,在选项中找出形容词或具有形容词性的词,分别为选项:A (dependent)、C (fast)、L (reliable)、N (successful);B (designed)、D (flying)、E (gained)、G (growing)。考生首先考虑最合适的形容词,如果不合适再考虑形容词性的词汇。第三步,从空格前后的上下文来看,该句的大意应为“但是电子医疗记录的_____(26)普及已经迫使医院的医生变得……”,考生从形容词选项中似乎找不到合适的答案,于是求助于第二类选项——形容词性选项。经过比较,考生可发现选项G (growing)符合句义,为正确答案。
27题较为简单。考生首先根据空格前的become先判断出此处应填入形容词或形容词性的单词,由此考生从上一题剩余的选项范围中挑选含义相符的选项,结合空格后的介词on,可得出本题的最佳选项为A (dependent)。
例2 Many patients also _____(35) a better understanding of the illnesses that landed them in the hospital in the first place.
解析:就本题而言,考生若能根据上下文来答题就可以很快得出答案。第一步,考生根据句子缺少谓语动词这一点判断出空格处应填入动词。第二步,由该句的上文“A study of the University of Chicago iPad project found that patients got tests and _____(34) faster …”中的谓语动词found可以得出空格处应填入动词的过去式,因为35题所在的句子仍在讨论上文提到的研究(a study),由此选项范围缩小到两项:B (designed)、E (gained)。第三步,考生根据句义很容易判断出正确答案为选项E (gained)。
从这三道题的解题过程可知,考生通常经过三步即可得出最合适的选项,但具体情况还需要具体对待,某些题目考生可能并不需要完整通过这三步就能解答,或考生不幸遭遇拦路生词,此时应该先解答其他题目,进而缩小该题的答案选择范围。但鉴于选词填空的分值过低(10道题,仅占5%),笔者建议考生将此类题型安排到整场考试的最后进行。

段落信息匹配题
2013年12月之后出现的段落信息匹配题的文章一般长达1000词左右,加上十道题目的题干,考生如果按照传统思路去阅读解题会明显感到时间十分紧张,这恰恰反映了出题者的考查要求:根据关键词在文章中快速查找定位的能力。因此考试时考生对待段落信息匹配题的正确方式应该是以定位优先,切忌过度阅读。
今年的三套卷中出现了一篇标题为“Ancient Greek Wisdom Inspires Guidelines to Good Life”的题目,其和传统的段落信息匹配题的不同在于,文章中使用了大纲式的黑体字小标题:Examine your life、Stop worrying what you cannot control、Seek true pleasure、Do good to others。这些小标题其实将文章的13个段落分成了四个部分,并归纳了每个部分的主要内容。考生如果遇到这种出题方式真是捡了大便宜了,因为这种出题方式相较没有小标题的常规题目来说更容易定位。下面以这篇文章为例,来看段落信息匹配题的正确做题步骤。
第一步,考生应该先读一下总标题“Ancient Greek Wisdom Inspires Guidelines to Good Life”,目的是迅速把握文章主题,并防止在划题干关键词的过程中过度依赖主题词(即大标题中出现的词汇等)。然后考生再扫读各个小标题,从而判断出全文的主旨是作者根据古希腊人的智慧指导人们如何成为人生赢家。
第二步,考生阅读题干,划出题干的关键词并回原文定位。在划题干关键词的过程中,考生需要秉承“显性关键词和名词优先,谓语结构、特殊形容词、副词等为辅助”的原则,因为此类题型的重点就是快速定位,题干可能对原文进行同义改写,而显性关键词和名词较不容易改写。下面以第36题为例。
36 According to an ancient Greek philosopher, it is impossible for us to understand every aspect of our life.
解析:本题中可以划出philosopher、understand、our life作为回原文定位的关键词,之所以不将Greek作为关键词,是因为Greek属于全文的主题词,不能很好地用于定位。此外,考生在定位之前可以判断一下题干内容与哪个小标题的内容联系最紧密。就本题来说,其题干内容和四个小标题中的第二个“Stop worrying what you cannot control”联系最紧密,因此定位范围立刻缩小到D、E两段,再根据关键词定位,考生便可以轻易地找出D段中与解题相关的原文:“‘The individual who promoted this idea was a Stoic philosopher. His name is Epictetus,’ he says. ‘And what the Stoics say in general is simply this. There is a larger plan in life. You are not really going to be able to understand all of the dimensions of this plan.’”由此作答如探囊取物。
需要指出的是,这一题型的十道题中经常会有一道题的关键词几乎全部都是对原文的改写,此时有效关键词过少,考生无法快速定位,因此这样的题目通常较难,目的就是为了考查考生同义替换词汇的掌握水平。由于此类题型会占用大量时间,可留至最后再处理。以这次考试的37题为例。
37 Ancient philosophers saw life in a different light from people of today.
解析:此题的关键词ancient philosopher、life是文章的主题词,无法用于定位,而如果使用different light定位,也无法在文章中找出对应段落,此时考生就应该先跳过此题。实际上,对于这道题,考生可以结合小标题来作答:由于题干内容似乎与上述所有小标题都没有太大关系,因此其对应的原文最有可能出现的位置应该在文章综述的部分,也就是第一个小标题之前的A、B两段。于是根据关键词ancient philosopher、life等词,考生能在B段中找到题干所对应的原文:“The nice thing about ancient philosophy as offered by the Greeks is that they tended to see life clear and whole, in a way that we tend not to see life today”,由此得出本题的答案为选项B。
仔细阅读题
尽管四、六级考试曾改革多次,但是仔细阅读这一传统题型从来没有变过,这反映了此类题型的重要性和稳定性。不过,考生如果死守着中学常用的通读全文的思路来参加四、六级考试,很容易感觉到答题时间不够用。许多没有经验的考生在阅读部分花的时间过多,导致最后的翻译题只能随便涂上两笔,草草完成。殊不知翻译与作文的分值一样,均为15%。因此,考生在解答仔细阅读时要明确一点,那就是更注重时间的把控,精准定位,理解定位处的上下文,切不可通读全文或过度推断。下面以Passage One的题目为例来讲解仔细阅读的解题步骤和技巧。
第一步,考生迅速扫读题干,由此判断文章的主旨。根据题干中的高频词driverless car和提问内容,考生可得知文章的主旨为无人驾驶车及人类对其的态度。第二步,考生划出题干的关键词。这一步的要求和段落信息匹配题类似,应优先考虑显性关键词和名词,再考虑谓语结构、特殊的形容词和副词。第三步,考生对照定位到的句子和选项,找出最佳答案。下面举例说明。
nlc202309081249
46 What happens when a new technology emerges?
A) It further widens the gap between the old and the young.
B) It often leads to innovations in other related fields.
C) It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a whole.
D) It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.
解析:考生可以划出a new technology作为题干的有效关键词。因为本题为五道题中的第一道,按照依次而下的顺序出题原则,其答案应该在文章的开头。事实上,考生很容易在开头第一句找到该题对应的原文句子:“Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines.”有些考生看不太明白这句话,此时别慌张,读后面一句:“That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift.”考生由that is可以发现这句话是对前面那句话的进一步诠释:“年轻人倾向于outnumber老年人在一个技术变革的front end上。”看不懂outnumber和front end?首先,理解干扰词汇outnumber的关键在于理解前缀out-,其表示“在……方面超过”的含义,因此outnumber意为 “在数量上超过”。其次,理解front end的关键是理解end,end除了表示“尽头,结束”,还可以表示“末端”,因此front end是“前沿”的意思。由此考生可以判断出这句话意为:“通常来说,在新技术变革的前沿,年轻人的数量倾向于超过老年人。”再由此考生可以理解定位到的第一句,即“对待新技术的态度通常呈现世代的区别。”此时对照选项,考生可以轻易看出答案应该在选项A和D当中选,因为这两个选项都提到了年轻人和老年人。到底该选哪个选项呢?这时考生就要从题目的说明出发,题目并没有问哪一个对哪一个错,而是说需要选出最佳选项,其特点就是能够与原文的含义一一对应。从定位到的原文句子来看,Attitudes toward new technologies对应的是选项D中的reactions,fall along generational lines对应的是选项D中的第一个different及different age groups,由此考生可以判断出最佳答案为选项D。

2011山东公务员考试面试真题及解析(6月19日下午)2011.6.19 下午
1.某省公安机关开展‘六小警务’活动(就是帮人们处理一些小事情、小纠纷),得到群众的普遍好评,从中你得到什么启示?
【试题归类】综合分析类之社会现象评论类题,主要考查考生的综合分析能力。
【答题思路】首先肯定某省公安机关的“六小警务”活动并阐述其意义,其次联系到其他部门也应该这样,天下大事必作于细,细节决定成败,往往群众关心就是小事;最后是总结表态,自己在工作上一直并坚持要注意工作细节,一丝不苟等等。
【参考答案】
常言道:金杯银杯,不如老百姓的口碑。某省公安机关开展的“六小警务”活动体现了“群众利益无小事”的原则,从中我获得的启示是公务员在工作中需要时时刻刻把人民放在心上,把老百姓放在心中,干什么事都要想一想是不是对群众有好处,只有这样才会得到群众的好评与拥护,并且更加有利于创建和谐性社会。
“群众利益无小事”,是全心全意为人民服务思想生动深刻的表现。胡锦涛主席曾经说过:“群众利益无小事,凡是涉及群众的切身利益和实际困难的事情,再小也要竭尽全力去办。”坚持立党为公,执政为民,不能停留在口号和一般要求上,必须围绕人民群众最现实、最关心、最直接的利益来落实。群众的事有时看起来是小事,但小事不小。所谓小事、大事,只是相对而言,它们在一定条件下是可以转化的。如果因某些事是“小事”而不为,或者处理不好,就会影响群众正常的生产生活,影响党和政府的形象,影响党和政府与人民群众的关系。
当然,我们应看到,最近一段时间,全国不少地方出现一些影响民众切身利益的公共事件,其实这些事件本来都是小事,正是有关部门的作为不力导致小事闹大,在社会上造成恶劣的影响,比如四川籍农民工在潮州讨薪被砍,事件经新闻媒体报道,往往成为全社会关注的热点,在这个过程中,相关责任部门的反应尤为值得注意,因为他们的作为乃是事件得到妥善解决的关键,也是民众利益受到保护的关键。
所以,要做到“群众利益无小事”,第一,需要以务实、无私的品格履行好安民之责,时刻把群众的安危冷暖放在心上,努力想群众之所虑、急群众之所难、谋群众之所求,诚心诚意办实事,尽心竭力解难事,坚持不懈做好事。第二,党政机关和干部队伍的作风,直接影响到能否真正落实“群众利益无小事”的要求。对此,需要对党员领导干部的学风、思想作风、工作作风、领导作风和生活作风等方面存在的突出问题,采取了一系列整改措施。教育广大党员干部深刻认识其重要性,切实纠正“主仆错位”现象,着力解决一些部门“门难进、脸难看、事难办”的问题;大力加强党员干部的自身修养,要求党员干部不轻视小节、不放过小节,处处设防、时时谨慎,严以律己、宽以待人,使每位干部都成为一面凝聚群众的旗帜。

在以后工作中,我会以此为准则,提升自己的思想觉悟,认真工作,一丝不苟,注重细节,把群众的小事办好,因为我坚信:群众的小事就是我们的大事。总之,“乐民之乐者,民亦乐其乐;忧民之忧者,民亦忧其忧。”人心向背,始终是决定一个政党、一个政权盛衰兴亡的根本因素。只要我们始终坚持“群众利益无小事”的要求,把群众利益当作最大的事、最紧要的事来办,尽心尽力,全心全意,就一定能够得到群众的好评,得到群众的拥护,并创造出无愧于党和人民的业绩。
2.在与人相处的过程中,大家倾向于别人怎么对你你就怎么对别人,说说你将如何在单位和同事搞好关系?
【题型归类】人际关系类
【解题思路】人际关系类题目的作答原则是,团结合作,工作第一。题目中所说的“别人怎么对你你就怎么对别人”的道理,可以用于协调好同事关系,同时,也要注意原则性,不能什么样的要求都是对等的。
【作答参考】
在与人相处的过程中,很多人倾向于别人怎么对你你就怎么对别人,这是因为每个人心里都有一杆秤。正是源于这一点,我们在与同事的交往过程中,要想与同事搞好关系,应该为人正直,关心同事,善于合作,勤于服务,乐于帮助,这样,同事以同样的方式对我,更有利于工作的开展,形成大家精诚合作的局面。
与此同时,我们也要注意,这种“别人怎么对你,你怎么对别人”的心理倾向,有可能对工作造成一些负面影响,应该加以预防。例如对于平时相处起来关系融洽、互帮互让的同事,如果遇到原则性问题,产生了矛盾,就不能再按照以往互相谦让的态度处理,而是要本着工作为重,坚持原则的态度办事,同时采用恰当的方式与同事沟通,解除不必要的误会,在单位树立良好的工作氛围与精神风貌。这样的氛围,更加利于工作的开展,最终也利于人际关系的和谐。
另外,在工作中,如果受到别人的不公正不合理的对待时,自己的处理方式,这时以“同样的方式”来对待他是不恰当的。而是应首先自我反思,寻求合理、平和的解决办法。在工作中,仍然要以大局为重,仍然要以“春天搬的温暖”对待同志,仍要在工作中给予最有力的配合。
3.说说你工作、生活或者学习中的一次失败的经历,并说说你是怎么改正的? 【试题归类】 报考动机与职业匹配类中的个人经历类
【答题思路】 通过“失败及改正”的经历叙述,可以考查考生的人生观、价值观以及个人素质。作答时,要本着实事求是而稍加修改的原则,表达切忌“流水账”似的平铺直叙,且应注意不宜说出严重影响日后工作的细节。谈论如何改正时,则应着重强调面对失败时善于自省、积极有为的良好心态和执行能力。最后可以点出自己在日后工作中对于困难与失败准备如何应对。
【参考答案】

失败是每个人成长过程中必然经历与必须面对的,下面就跟诸位考官谈论一下个人学习过程遭遇到的一次“滑铁卢”吧。
在研究生二年级时,一次在学术界具有重要影响的国际学术讨论会在某高校举办,我有幸获得了参会的邀请。这是一次难得的机会,不仅可以将自己一个阶段的研究成果在众多专家学者面前展示,更可贵的是,可以借机与他们取得联系,向他们请教,使自己的学养问得到进益、才能得到历练。因此,我十分认真地修改届时提交的论文,精心制作发言所需的PPT,对会议之行满怀期待。
正所谓“好事多磨”,当我抵达目的地时即被会务工作人员告知,由于参会人数过多,主办方临时将与会者分小组,安排在不同的时间、会议室进行发言和讨论;更让我感到遗憾的是,我之前特别想要结识与求教的专家学者,都被安排到了其他的小组。由于自己曾将参会时与学者们探讨、请教的问题精心准备过,正希望在与他们见面之时详细问询,被分成若干的小组后,与这些学者见面都很困难,更别说交流讨论了;另外,对于我所在小组学者的学术成果和研究领域,我大多不熟悉,讨论时究竟如何参与,自己毫无头绪。当时,我的确有点慌了阵脚,导致会议第一天的上午状态不佳,几乎是在紧张与焦虑中度过的。
下午就轮到我发言了,午休时分,我在宾馆房间冷静地反思了一下,目前的情况虽然是主办方临时调整开会模式引起的,但自己的准备仍然欠充分,知识储备亦比较薄弱,属于自己的失误所致。无论如何要好好完成自己的论文发言和下午的小组讨论。于是,我尽快上网查询了我所在小组学者的概况,迅速浏览了他们论文的提纲,心中大体有数后,心情也平静下来。然后,我又翻阅了会议联络表,将我希望见到的学者的联系方式、房间号勾画出来,并且对照他们的发言时间和次序,打算挤时间、找机会与他们碰面。然后,我打电话给自己的导师,得到了他的指导和鼓励。这样,我不仅顺利完成了对自己论文的介绍,得到了不错的反响,与所在小组的学者们也互动良好,由陌生变得熟识。利用会议中的餐后、古迹游览、特别报告等机会,我如愿以偿地拜访到了几位专家学者,受益匪浅。会后,我向没有机会见到的几位学者发了邮件,达到了请教、交流的目的。
今日回想起来,此次经历仍然记忆犹新,日后踏上工作岗位,遇到的困难与挫折也许会更加复杂多样。但是,只要平时注意积累,保持良好的心里素质,培养迅捷有效的应变能力,充分发挥自己的主观能动性,我相信,我会将失败转变为成功的起点。

樱桃沟的樱桃经 距北京40多公里的樱桃沟,在每年的5月底到6月底的采摘季节里,20公顷成熟的樱桃引得众多的城里人纷至沓来。樱桃带来了收入,提高了当地农民的生活水平,仅一个月的时间樱桃采摘带来的经济效益就占到全村年总收入的一半左右,现如今樱桃沟真的变成了名副其实的“樱桃沟”。(联系电话:010-61883114)
鲜活的虾蛄能运多远 每年的4月中下旬是皮皮虾最肥壮的时候,这时也是捕捞皮皮虾的黄金季节。这种虾营养丰富、汁鲜肉嫩,有一种特殊诱人的鲜味儿,素有“富贵虾”之称。皮皮虾生长在浅海区,在我国南北沿海都有分布,年产量大约在5000万吨以上。
皮皮虾运到北京后再运到张家口、包头等城市,最少需要三个小时。虽说销售价格每公斤会比北京贵上十块钱,但成活率低,所以车轮子转出来的不仅仅是距离,更是时间和效益。(联系电话:13703232563)

吹着唢呐养野猪 用唢呐声驯养的野猪,名叫长白山野猪。长白山野猪有别于华南野猪和西北野猪,它身上的毛硬,嘴尖耳小,抗病、抗寒的能力都很强。四个月左右的长白山野猪只能长到一二十公斤,体重比同龄家猪低。虽然生长周期长,但长白山野猪的养殖成本并不高。它比家猪少吃1/3,另外它吃的饲料精料少,粗料多。
由于目前野猪的养殖量还不大,所以野猪肉的销售渠道主要是宾馆、饭店等单位。

谁说种草不赚钱 观赏水草返水,顾名思义就是指地上种好的水草再返回水里种植,这样能让原来长的老叶子自行脱落并长出新的水中叶,长出新叶子以后,原来地上种的水草才比较适合在水里种植,同时看上去也更美观了。观赏水草经过返水后,水草叶片都很轻柔,而没返水的叶子比较厚、硬,而且有的水草返水后颜色也会改变。观赏水草从陆地进了水族箱,从此也就变成了娇贵的公主。

市场前沿:新农村产业档案——当归产业正旺 进入90年代以后,连续十年市场行情的低迷和部分地区的自然灾害使得当归种植面积不断减少,这是去年当归价格上升的最重要因素。而近几年种植户质量意识的增强也是促使当归价格上升的重要因素。
由于当归的保健功能不断被消费者所认知,所以当归的加工正在向更深的领域发展,相信一些新型、具有保健功能、方便实用的深加工产品会日渐赢得消费者的青睐。而当归深加工的多层次发展也将会使当归种植业在健康良性的轨道上越走越远。(联系电话:0932-3373883 7725197)

市场前沿:藏毯从青藏高原走下来 藏毯是我国藏民族的传统手工艺品,生产使用了2000多年。雪域高原封闭的自然环境、藏族人虔诚的宗教信仰以及高原人特有的气质性格,使藏毯保持了粗犷、自然、古朴的地域民族风格,成为世界地毯大家族中的一朵奇葩。
而现代藏毯既保留了独特的风格韵味,又兼容汉族和西方诸多文化艺术流派的审美观念,吸纳西方以驼色、木色、奶白色、酒红色为主的流行色彩,既迎合了现代人崇尚自然、返璞归真的心理要求,又满足了他们追求时尚的心理。据专家预测,未来5年世界地毯需求年平均增长率约为7%,藏毯的发展前景令人向往。(联系电话:0971-6511201)
品种档案:海赛克斯褐壳蛋鸡 海赛克斯褐壳蛋鸡,一只鸡在一个产蛋周期可以生产310~330枚蛋,比起普通蛋鸡品种能多产8~10枚蛋。海赛克斯褐壳蛋鸡不但产的蛋好,而且养起来还省饲料,每只海赛克斯褐壳蛋鸡在一个产蛋周期的饲料消耗为7.6公斤,而普通蛋鸡则为8.3公斤左右。另外,它抗病能力强,目前国内的饲养条件基本上能达到它生长繁育的要求。(联系电话:0516-8308861 83088619)

市场前沿:投资风险警示录——无公害蔬菜的困惑 各种检测和证件办理需要花去一笔不小的费用,这就意味着生产无公害蔬菜比普通蔬菜成本要高出很多,再加上人工投入、产量等区别于普通蔬菜,所以如果把无公害蔬菜当做普通蔬菜来卖,赢利空间就几乎被压缩到零。重视生产当然是好事,任何一个质量过硬的产品都得经过严格的生产程序,但是产品不等于商品,不重视终端销售和市场分析的企业就不会实现产品的最终价值。(联系电话:13079220138)

占领国际裘皮原料的高端市场,一直是大兴安岭人的梦想和目标。因为高端原料皮毛受市场冲击相对较小,利润空间比较大,而且同样是养狐狸,吃同样的东西,寒冷的大兴安岭能产出更多的特等皮张,寒冷有时也是一种资源。(联系电话:0457-2851338 13804842384 13904571737)

市场前沿:中国农产品挑战吉尼斯——海南矮种椰子大比拼 椰子是海南的一大特产。椰子分三种,分别是高种椰子、矮种椰子和杂交种椰子。海南以前种的大都是以加工为主的高种椰子。近几年随着海南旅游业的发展,越来越多的人喜欢喝新鲜的椰子水,所以主要作为饮料用的矮种椰子的需求量在逐渐增加。
我国规模化椰子种植主要集中在海南,但海南椰子的种植面积和产量远远不能满足当地市场的需要。现在当地摸索出了一套适合干旱地区种植椰子的技术,在海南的数百公顷荒山荒地种上了椰子,并且椰子和其他作物套种,保水保肥的同时也增加了经济效益。(联系电话:0898-65312068)
品种档案:个小价高的香鱼 香鱼经过烧烤后,能散发出浓郁的香味,所以被称为香鱼。因为有着与众不同的香味,所以自古以来香鱼就深受食客们的喜爱。香鱼属于野生鱼类,产量很少。它原产于我国东南沿海的入海口,有着特殊的洄游特性。每年秋天香鱼从海中游到河水里产卵,而到了冬季孵化出的小鱼又再游回到大海里过冬,所以野生的香鱼只有在秋季才能捕得到。
香鱼对水的含氧量要求极高,所以养殖时一定要有增氧设备,另外香鱼对生存条件的要求也很苛刻。虽然香鱼的养殖成本高,难度也大,但是它的市场需求情况很好,特别是国外市场对香鱼的需求量很大。目前我国人工养殖的香鱼主要满足国外市场,国内只有少量供应,价格也居高不下,对有条件的养殖户来说这里面的商机值得关注。(联系电话:13705865763)
