Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Although management principles have been implemented since ancient times, most management scholars trace the beginning of modern management thought back to the early 1900s, beginning with the pioneering work of Frederick Taylor (1856-1915) Taylor was the first person to study work scientifically He is most famous for introducing techniques of time and motion study, differential piece rate systems, and for systematically specializing the work of operating employees and managers Along with other pioneers such as Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, Taylor set the stage, labeling his philosophy and methods “scientific management’ At
that time, his philosophy, which was concerned with productivity, but which was often
misinterpreted as promoting worker interests at the expense of management, was in marked contrast to the prevailing industrial norms of worker exploitation
The time and motion study concepts were popularized by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth The Gilbreths had 12 children By analyzing his children’s dishwashing and bedmaking chores, this pioneer efficiency expert, Frank Gilbreth, hit on principles whereby workers could eliminate
Trang 5waste motion He was memorialized by two of his children in their 1949 book called “Cheaper
by the Dozen”
The Gilbreth methods included using stop watches to time worker movements and special tools (cameras and special clocks) to monitor and study worker performance, and also involved identification of “therbligs” (Gilbreth spelled backwards) – basic motions used in production jobs Many of these motions and accompanying times have been used to determine how long it should take a skilled worker to perform a given job In this way an industrial engineer can get a handle on the approximate time it should take to produce a product or provide a service However, use of work analysis in this way is unlikely to lead to useful results unless all five
work dimensions are considered: physical, psychological, social, cultural, and power
Question 36: The word “which” in the passage refers to
A scientific management B Philosophy
Question 37: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that
A workers welcomed the application of scientific management
B Talor’s philosophy is different from the industrial norms
C by the early 1900s science had reached a stage where it could be applied to the workplace
D workers were no longer exploited after the introduction of scientific management
Question 38: According to the passage, Frank Gilbreth discovered how workers could eliminate
waste motion by
A using special tools such as cameras and clocks
B using stop watches
C applying scientific management principles
D watching his children do their chores
Question 39: The word “motions” is closest in meaning to
A stop watches B habits C actions D special tools
Question 40: Where in the passage does the author comment that the principles of scientific
management were often misunderstood?
A Lines 1-5 B Lines 6-10 C Lines 11-15 D Lines 16-20
Question 41: The word “ dimensions” in line 24 is closest in meaning to
Question 42: All of the following are true except
A scientific management was concerned with productivity
B the beginnings of modern management thought commenced in the 19th century
Trang 6C Frank Gilbreth’s fame was enhanced by two of his children writing a book
D analyzing work to increase productivity is not likely to be useful unless all of the
dimensions are considered
Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Perhaps better known than the Cullinan Diamond is the Hope Diamond, a valuable and blue gem with a background of more than 300 years as a world traveler.The 112-carat blue stone later became the Hope Diamond was mined in India sometime before the middle of the seventeenth century and was first known to be owned by Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal in memory of his beloved wife From India, the celebrated blue stone has changed hands often, moving from location to location in distant corners of the world
In the middle of the seventeenth century, a trader from France named Jean Baptiste Tavernier acquired the large blue diamond, which was rumored to have been illegally removed from a temple Tavemier returned to France with the big blue gem, where the stone was purchased by the Sun King Louis XIV Louis XIV had it cut down from 112 to 67 carats to make its shape symmetrical and to maximize its sparkle The newly cut diamond, still huge by any
standards, was passed down through the royal family of France, until it arrived in the hands of
Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette During the French Revolution, Louis XVI and his wife met their fate on the guillotine in 1793, and the big blue diamond disappeared from public sight The diamond somehow managed to get from France to England, where banker Henry Hope purchased it from a gem dealer early in the nineteenth century The huge blue stone was cut into
a 45.5-carat oval, and at this point it took on the name by which it is known today The diamond stayed in the Hope family for around a century, when deep indebtedness brought on by a serious gambling habit on the part of one of Henry Hope's heirs forced the sale of the diamond
From England, the Hope Diamond may have made its way into the hands of the Sultan of Turkey; whatever route it took to get there, it eventually went on to the United States when American Evelyn Walsh McLean purchased it in 1911 Mrs McLean certainly enjoyed showing the diamond off guests in her home were sometimes astounded to notice the huge stone embellishing the neck of Mrs McLean’s Great Dane as the huge pet trotted around the grounds
of her Washington, D.C home The Hope Diamond later became the property of jeweler Harry Winston, who presented the stunning 45.5- carat piece to the Smithsonian in 1958 The Hope Diamond is now taking a well-earned rest following its rigorous travel itinerary and is on display
at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., where it has been since 1958
