21、Knowledge Management

Thanks to advances in computers, modem means of communication and the Internet, information has become easier to obtain. It is now much more significant in our daily lives.

Organizations believe that having better information leads to better decision making. 【1】 Too much information makes it difficult to decide which pieces of information are useful in making the best decisions and which are not. Selecting and obtaining the right information and using it well can give an organisation a competitive advantage. This is how the field of “knowledge management” ,or KM, arose.

【2】 In fact, we need to distinguish between data, information and knowledge. Some concrete examples can help. Looking at the daily transactions of a shop, I may see that 12 units of product X have been sold this month—that is an interesting piece of data. 【3】 I can change this data into valuable information if I know that 20 units of product X were sold the previous month— this informs me that sales in that item have dropped. So data + context = information. Now, based on my years of experience working in the shop and my familiarity with my costumers, I can use my knowledge to decide whether I should order more of the same product or not.

【4】 The first is the activity of obtaining the best information. This often relies on technology, such as powerful computers, to filter or store information. 【5】 So, knowledge can flow easily through the organization. The other part is the more human side, which focuses on employees exploiting (利用)the information to create competitive advantage for the organization.

Companies that adopt KM strategies believe that they will achieve better results because they exploit the potential of both modem technological advances and good old-fashioned experience.

A.Therefore, KM can be divided into two parts.

B.It also relies on good networks of communication.

C.And it is being adopted by more and more businesses today.

D.In order to understand what KM is, it is necessary to define it.

E.But I cannot make a decision based on it because it lacks context.

F.My insight tells me that after a while my customers will go back to buying product X.

G.However, with greater access to information comes the problem of information overload.

22、The Attack on September 11th

New York: When the first jet struck Tower 1 at World Trade Center at 8: 48 am on Tuesday, the people in Tower 2 at World Trade Center with a view of the instant damage across the divide had the clearest sense of what they too must do : get out fast.

Katherine Ilachinski, who had been knocked off her chair by the blast of heat exploding from the neighboring tower, was one of those. Despite her 70 years of age, Ms Ilachinski, an architect working on the 91st floor of Tower 2 at World Trade Center, the south tower, went for the stairs. Twelve floors above her, Judy Wein, a manager, screamed and set off too.

But others up and down the 110 floors, many without clear views of the damage across the way and thus unclear about what was happening, were not so sure. And the 18 minutes before the next plane would hit were ticking off.

Among the uncertainty about what was the best thing to do, formal announcements inside the south tower instructed people to stay put, assuring them that the building was sound and the threat was limited to the other tower.

Some left, others stayed, some began to climb down and, when met with more announcements and other warning to stop or return, went back up. The decisions made in those instants proved to be of great importance, because many who chose to stay, were doomed (注定) when the second jet crashed into the south tower killing many and stranding (使…某物留在) many more in the floors above where the jet hit.

One of those caught in indecision(犹豫不决) was the manager at Fuji Bank USA. Richard Jacobs of Fuji Bank left the 79th floor with the other office workers, but on the 48th floor they heard the announcement that the situation was under control. Several got in the lifts and went back up two minutes or so before the plane crashed into their floor.

【1】From the passage , we know that the south tower was hit by the plane __________

A. at 8: 30

B. 18 minutes earlier than the north tower

C. at around 9: 06

D. at 8: 48

【2】The underlined words “stay put” mean _________

A. stay in the building   B. leave at once

C. put everything back and then leave   D. keep silent

【3】Which floor was hit by the second jet?

A. The 91st floor.   B. The 71st floor.

C. The 60th floor.   D. The 79th floor.

【4】Few people would have died if __________

A. more announcements had been made

B. people hadn’t used the lifts

C. the incident had happened on a weekend

D. people chose to stay

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文，续写的词数应为150左右。

White puffs of bread were lined up in front of me, with the sea of mayonnaise (蛋黄酱) spread over them. How many times had I done this? How many more times would I be forced to do it? My dad would soon be leaving to feed the homeless.

My father and several volunteers gathered every day in the park to feed the hungry.

Luckily, I didn’t have to go there. It was enough trouble just to get everything ready. I really didn’t understand why my father bothered with it. I couldn’t wait for him to leave. I looked forward to a whole Saturday by myself. I planned to watch some television, talk with my friends on the phone, and maybe do some shopping during the afternoon.

It didn’t take long for my plans to change and my happiness to disappear. Dad came in while I was doing the packing and stood behind me.

I’m going to need your help today. Some of the volunteers that usually help me won't be able to make it.

“Dad, I can’t help today.” I said. “I have plans.” He just gave me the you-should-be-ashamed-of-yourself look. “Fine,” I said angrily.

I finished packing the sandwiches and followed Dad out to the van (货车). I wanted to cry. This was going to be the worst day ever. My dad always drove the van, which also contained clothes, shoes and small bags filled with personal items.

When we arrived at the park, people were already gathered under a tree waiting for us. We opened the back of the van and pulled out a long cafeteria tables and some chairs. I put the table on one side of the van with the food on it, while my dad lined up chairs on the other side for them to sit in.

I couldn’t believe so many people were there and all of them were homeless. I was surprised to learn my dad knew most of them by name. He also seemed to know what each one needed, what they had suffered and what landed them on the street.

Paragraph 1:

Then, a girl about my age caught my attention.

Paragraph 2:

When everyone was gone, we loaded things back into the van.
