READING (9 min.) Read the text (by yourself - 1 min., aloud - 2 min.) Low buildings With low buildings the variety of possible shapes is much greater than with taller buildings. In addition to the familiar box shapes, which is also used in very tall buildings, low buildings may use cathedral-like forms, vault, or domes. A simple single-story structure might consist of a reinforced-concrete slab laid directly on the ground, exterior manor walls supported by the slab and a roof. For low building, the use of interior columns between masonry load-bearing walls is still the most common construction method. Spaced columns supported by the slab or by individual spread footing may be used, however; in that case the exterior walls can be supported by or hung between the columns. The structure of a simple one-story building may also consist of the wall and roof framing combined by being either fastened together or shaped in one piece. The possible structural shapes are almost infinite and include the three sides of a rectangle fastened together into a unit called a bent, the familiar church form of vertical sides and sloping roof, the parabola and the semicircle or dome. The supporting structure and exterior walls, floor, and roof may also be made as a unified whole, much like a rectangular pipe with closed or open ends. These may be cast in reinforced plastic.

Read the text (by yourself - 1 min., aloud - 2 min.) International manager In recent years, many companies have expanded globally. Because of this globalization trend, many more employees are working abroad. Although many people have difficulty adapting to the new culture. Two typical failures have been described in the journal Management Today. The first example concerns a German manager with IBM who took up a position as product manager in England. He found that at most lunchtimes and especially on Fridays, many members of staff went to the pub. “I stopped that right away”, he says. “Now they are not allowed off the premises. It didn’t make me very popular at the time but it is not good for efficiency. The second example is about American manager who came to France on a management assignment. He was unable to win the trust of his staff. He set clear goals, worked longer hours than everybody, participated in all the projects, visited people’s offices and even took employees out to lunch one by one. But nothing seemed to work. This was because the staff believed strongly that the management were trying to exploit them. The German manager’s mistake was that he hadn’t foreseen cultural differences.The American manager used the ways he was familiar with to gain the staff’s trust. To them he seemed more interested in getting the job done than in developing personal relationships.
