四、閱讀測驗【請在下列各題中選出最適當的答案】
We’ve seen some high profile ethical failures in the press in recent years. It will be hard to forget the devastation
caused by accounting fraud at the investment company run by Bernard Madoff, or the earlier frauds at Enron and
Worldcom. People have also raised ethical questions over the welfare of some organizations’ staff and suppliers. This
highlights the extent to which it can be difficult for leaders to determine what’s right and wrong. Some make the
wrong choices – and end up in the news or in the courts.
What we rarely see, however, are stories about the numerous companies that are managed by ethical leaders.
While standards seem to keep falling in some corporations, other leaders raise the bar and inspire their teams to do
the same. These leaders do the right thing, at the right time, for the right reasons. They put their ethics before the
bottom line – and, as a result, they have dedicated teams that would do almost anything for them.
To lead your team with character and integrity, you must set an example. You’re the leader, remember? Your team
looks to you. To begin, you must know your own values as well as your organization’s values.
For example, the global technology giant 3M is well known for its company values. Why? Because the entire
team – from top executives all the way down to the mailroom – live and breathe the principles of honesty and
integrity every day. 3M communicates clearly that it wants its staff to do things like “keep promises, have personal
accountability, and respect others in the workforce.” Every leader in the company knows this, so they work by these
rules. And as a result, everyone else follows.
Hopefully, your company has clear rules about how it wants team members to act. As a leader, it's up to you to
know these rules and codes of conduct – and to make sure you enforce them. Your personal values are also important.
If the company’s written rules don't say that you must be fair to everyone, but this value is important to you – then, of
course, you’re going to be fair.Good leaders follow their personal values as well as organizational values .
【3】46. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
Bernard Madoff did not trust his staff and suppliers and was put in jail.
Enron and Worldcom raised their ethical standard after their earlier frauds.
Some bosses were charged because they couldn’t distinguish whether a decision was right or wrong.
Most companies failed because the welfare system of the staff members was revealed in the press.
【3】47. According to this passage, what would be necessary for a good leader to know first?
A good leader needs to show kindness to help the workers.
A good leader must impose his own values on his subordinates.
A good leader must know his and his company’s values and lead by his example.
A good leader needs to know the company goals and make great profits.
【1】48. In line 7, what does the phrase “raise the bar” mean?
Elevate the moral standard.
Set higher goals for their productivity.
Encourage the workers to participate in physical activities.
Dedicate more to the needs of the workers.
