Selmer

At 21， Ricardo Semler became boss of his father"s business in Brazil， Semco， which sold parts for ships. Semler Junior worked like a madman， from 7:30 am， until midnight every day. One afternoon， while touring a factory in New York， he collapsed. The doctor who treated him said，"There"s nothing wrong with you. But if you continue like this， you"ll find a new home in our hospital." Semler got the message. He changed the way he worked. In fact， he changed the ways his employees worked too.

He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went wrong. He allowed them to set their own salaries， and he cut all the jobs he thought were unnecessary， like receptionists and secretaries. 46_______ "Everyone at Semco， even top managers， meets guests in reception， does the photocopying， sends faxes， types letters and dials the phone."

He completely reorganized the office: instead of walls， they have plants at Semco， so bosses can"t shut themselves away from everyone else. 47_______ As for uniforms， some people wear suits and others wear T-shirts.

Semler says， "We have a sales manager named Rubin Agater who sits there reading the newspaper hour after hour. He doesn"t even pretend to be busy. But when a Semco pump on the other side of the world fails millions of gallons of oil are about to spill into the sea. Rubin springs into action. 48_______ That"s when he earns his salary. No one cares if he doesn"t look busy the rest of the time."

Semco has flexible working hours: the employees decide when they need to arrive at work.

49_______ It sounds perfect， but does it work? The answer is in the numbers: in the last six years， Semco"s revenues have gone from $35 million to $212 million. The company has grown from eight hundred employees to 3，000. Why? Semler says it"s because of "peer pressure". Peer pressure makes employees work hard for everyone else. 50_______ In other words， Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults and expects them to act like adults. And they do.

Milk That Paid a Medical Bill

One day， a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school found he had only one thin dime （ 10分钱） left， and he was hungry.

He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However， he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly， and then asked，"How much do I owe you?"

"You don"t owe me anything，" she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness".

He said， "Then I thank you from my heart."

As Howard Kelly left that house， he not only felt stronger physically， but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled（感到困惑 ）.

They finally sent her to the big city， where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from， a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor"s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case. After a long struggle， the battle was won.

Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it， for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked， and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words: "Paid in full with one glass of milk."

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: " Thank You， God， that your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."

A New Drug for Losing Weight

Scientists have developed a slimming drug that successfully suppresses appetite and results in a dramatic loss of weight without any apparent ill effects. The drug interferes with appetite control and prevents the build-up of fatty tissue. More importantly， the drug appears to prevent a serious decline metabolic rate——causing tiredness and lethargy——which is typically associated with living on a starvation diet. S a result， mice taking the drug lost 45 percent more weight than mice fed the same amount of food， which compensate for the lack of food by becoming more sluggish.

The scientists， from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore， said that C75 is likely to produce a similar effect on humans because appetite control in the brain is thought to be based largely on the same chemical pathways as those in mice. "We are not claiming to have found the fabled weight-loss drug. What we have found， using C75， is a major path way in the brain that the body uses naturally in regulating appetite at least in mice，" said Francis Kuhajda， a pathologist and senior team member. "We badly need effective drugs for weight loss. Obesity is a huge problem.

We"re hoping to explore the possibilities of this new pathway，" he said.

Discovering a biochemical. Pathway in the brain that controls appetite raises new prospects for eloping slimming aids. Research on leptin， a hormone produced in fatty tissue for controlling fat deposits， has so far failed to produce the expected slimming drug break-through. The latest study， published in the journal Science， showed that even moderate doses of C75 produced a significant loss of appetite， which returned to normal after a few months.

The scientists believe that C75， which they produced synthetically in the laboratory， binds to an enzyme called fatty acid sythase， which is involved in storing excess food intake as fat.

Inhibiting enzyme causes a build-up of a chemical in the liver which acts as a precursor to fat deposition. This precursor is thought to have an indirect effect on the brain， causing appetite suppression.

Normally， when animals fast， a hormone called neuropeptide Y increases sharply in the appe-tite control centers of the brain， stimulating the desire for food. However， when animals are given C75， levels of this hormone fall， leading to a loss of interest in food. Dr Kuhajda said discovering that C75 has no effect on metabolic rate is one of the most significant findings of the study. "If you try to lose weight by starving， your metabolism slows down after a few days，" he said. "It"s a survival mechanism that sabotages many diets. We see this in fasting mice. Yet metabolic rate in the C75-treated mice doesn"t slow at all. "Further animals studies will be needed before C75 could be tested on humans.

Living on a starvation diet may result in __________. 查看材料

A.a dramatic loss of weight without any ill effects

B.a long-term loss of interest in eating

C.a slowdown of fat deposition

D.fatigue and inactivity
