    You will need to use some of these letters more than once.
    1 Managers need to take action to convince high-flyers of their value to the firm.
    2 Organisations need to look beyond the high-flyers they are currently developing.
    3 There is a concern that firms investing in training for high-flyers may not gain the benefits themselves.
    4 Managers need expert assistance from within their own firms in developing high-flyers.
    5 Firms currently identify high-flyers without the support of a guidance strategy.
    6 Managers are frequently too busy to deal with the development of high-flyers.
    7 Firms who work hard on their reputation as an employer will interest high-flyers.
    The Stars of the Future
    A Existing management research does not tell us much about how to find and develop high-flyers, those people who have the potential to reach the top of an organisation. As a result, organisations are left to formulate their own systems. A more effective overall policy for developing future leaders is needed, which is why the London Business School has launched the Tomorrows Leaders Research Group (TLRG). The group contains representatives from 20 firms, and meets regularly to discuss the leadership development of the organisations high-flyers.
    B TLRG recognises just how significant line managers are in the process of leadership development. Unfortunately, with todays flat organisations, where managers have functional as well as managerial responsibilities, people development all too often falls vic
tim to heavy workloads. One manager in the research group was unconvinced by the logic of sending his best people away on development courses, only to see them poached by another department or, worse still, another firm. This fear of losing high-flyers runs deep in the organisations that make up the research group.
    C TLRG argues that the task of management is not necessarily about employee retention, but about creating attraction centres. We must help line managers to realise that if their companies are known as ones that develop their people, they will have a greater appeal to high-flyers, said one advisor. Furthermore, selecting people for, say, a leadership development programme is a sign of commitment from management to an individual. Loyalty can then be more easily demanded in return.
    D TLRG has concluded that a companys HR specialists need to take action and engage with line managers individually about their role in the development of high-flyers. Indeed, in order to benefit fully from training high-flyers as the senior managers of the future, firms must actually address the development of all managers who will be supportin
g the high-flyers. Without this, managers will not be in a position to give appropriate advice. And when eventually the high-flyers do move on, new ones will be needed to replace them. The next challenge will be to find a new generation of high-flyers.
    BEC商务英语中级阅读练习题题目解析
    首先得搞明白的是这篇（文章）究竟讲的什么。不用看详细内容，有两个地方直接告知了。一个是题目说明的第一句话，另一个是正文的标题。从这两个地方就可以看出全文探讨的是公司将来接班人——也就是潜力股——的培育问题。A段讲了TLRG这个贯穿全文的讨论组织诞生的缘由：现行的讨论满意不了需要，于是大多数公司只能自己探究发掘接班人的模式;(即第五题的答案)B段讲了直属经理(line managers)对于发掘接班人的重要性(真是干什么都要从基层抓起)，以及经理们的一些疑虑;C段讲的是接班人问题对公司的重要性，并且应当让院线经理们明白这种重要性;D段是针对前面列出的问题，提出的解决建议，什么专家帮助等等。整篇文章分为四个部分，层层递进，有很强的规律性。拿这样的文章来做阅读材料应当是相对简单把握的。
    7个题干基本是将原文中的（句子）用另外的词语和句型表述出来，所以题干中的关键词
都能在正文里 到与之匹配的，比如第四题题干里的expert对应D段的specialists,第六题的too busy to对应于B段里的heavy workloads，第七题的interest对应于C段的appeal。第一题说“经理们必需实行（措施）使潜力股们信任他们对公司的价值”，也就是要让潜力股们对公司忠诚，即C段说的creating “attraction centres”和loyalty。其次题说“组织必需把目光投向正在培育中的潜力股以外的地方”，即D段最终两句话所说的查新一代的潜力股。第三题和B段的最终一句话完全是一个意思：怕培育潜力股的投入收不回成本。第四题说开发潜力股，经理们需要在公司内部得到专家支持。答案是D段的第一句话：公司的人力资源专家需要实行行动。HR specialists就是expert。第五题说公司现在没有在指导策略的支持下辨别潜力股。也就是说公司是依靠自己来发掘人才的。答案是A段的第一句：现行的讨论满意不了需要，所以公司只能形成自己的一套体系。第六题，经理们太忙了，无暇顾及潜力股的进展。答案是B段的：Unfortunately, with todays flat organisations, where managers have functional as well as managerial responsibilities, people development all too often falls victim to heavy workloads.。不幸落在了高工作负荷的人的肩上。高工作负荷，也就是too busy。第七题，看重作为雇主名声的公司可以吸引潜力股。答案是C段的这么一句：if their companies are known as ones that develop their people, they will have a greater a
ppeal to high-flyers。假如公司是以开发员工而著称的话，将会对潜力股产生更大的吸引。以开发员工而著称(known as ones that develop their people)，名声很好，也就是看重自己作为雇主的名声。
    剑桥商务英语(BEC)考试阅读简要解析
    商务英语证书(BEC)考试近年来被各类涉外企业、部门用来作为招收职员时英语力量的证明;同时也是商务工作人员或（英语学习）者检验、提高英语水平的方式。由于许多即将进（入职）场的同学或已工作的青年把该证书作为就业、求职的重要砝码，因此BEC考试也被称为“商务求职通行证”。
    自5月BEC考试采纳新题型以来，BEC Vantage阅读与BEC Higher阅读相比，只是少了单词填空这一部分，其余题型完全全都。然而要求在1小时内做完6部分共50多题并获得高分，难度就很高。
    搭配题：抓住中心和基本点 5篇100字左右的小短文，8个选项，选择出各个选项属于哪篇短文论述的内容。
    这部分主要是考查考生快速出短文Main Idea的力量。正确的做题（方法）是先读提示第一句，把握5篇短文共同论述的大致范围。然后直接阅读短文。阅读的时候，用笔在考卷上划出“一个中心，两个基本点”。“一个中心”指短文的中心思想Main Idea。“两个基本点”是除Main Idea以外重要的、非常特别的论点。从5篇短文中出15个左右的考点，解题的速度可大大提高。
    句子填空题：弄清规律上的连接
    这部分对我国考生而言有很高的难度，由于它考查了中国人说话写文章最缺少严密的规律性。西文，尤其是商务文章极其讲究规律的缜密性，中心思想明确，意(段)之间有清楚的规律关系，句与句之间紧密相连。知道了这样的思维差异，在解题时便有了方向：通过各种连接手段来解题。词汇的连接、语法的连接，最重要的是规律上的连接。其实，任何两句话之间的规律关系不外乎两种状况：不是顺着意思讲下去(顺接)就是意思发生了转折(逆接)。推断空格前后句之间的顺逆接关系，再查正确的选项解题就简单多了。平常考生在做阅读训练的时候要特殊留意句子之间的规律关系。
