    1 the contact between coach and employee not solving all difficulties at
    work
    2 the discussion of how certain situations could be better handled if they
    occur again
    3 a coach encouraging an employee to apply what has been taught to routine
    work situations
    4 coaching providing new interest to individuals who are unhappy in their
    current positions
    5 coaching providing a supportive environment to discuss performance
    6 employees being asked to analyse themselves and practise greater
    self-awareness
    7 coaching enabling a company to respond rapidly to a lack of expertise in
    a certain area
    Coaching
    A
    Coaching involves two or more people sitting down together to talk through
    issues that have come up recently at work, and analysing how they were managed
    and how they might be dealt with more effectively on subsequent occasions.
    Coaching thus transfers skills and information from one person to another in an
    on-the-job situation so that the work experience of the coach is used to advise
    and guide the individual being coached. It also allows successes and failures to
    be evaluated in a non-threatening atmosphere.
    B
    Coaching means influencing the learner's personal development, for example
    his or her confidence and ambition. It can take place any time during an
    individual's career. Coaching is intended to assist individuals to function more
    effectively, and it is a powerful learning model. It begins where skills-based
    training ends, and helps individuals to use formally learnt knowledge in
    day-to-day work and management situations. Individuals being coached are in a
    demanding situation with their coach, which requires them to consider their own
    behaviour and question their reasons for doing things.
    C
    The coach professionally assists the career development of another
    individual, outside the normal manager/subordinate relationship. In theory, the
    coaching relationship should provide answers to every problem, but in practice
    it falls short of this. However, it can provide a space for discussion and
    feedback on topics such as people management and skills, behaviour patterns,
    confidence-building and time management. Through coaching, an organisation can
    meet skills shortages, discuss targets and indicate how employees should deal
    with challenging situations, all at short notice.
    D
    Effective coaches are usually those who get satisfaction from the success
    of others and who give time to the coaching role. Giving people coaching
    responsibilities can support their development, either by encouraging management
    potential through small-scale one-to-one assignments, or by providing added job
    satisfaction to managers who feel they are stuck in their present jobs. A coach
    is also a confidential adviser, accustomed to developing positive and effective
    approaches to complex management, organisational and change problems.
    這篇文章講的是培訓(coaching)的作用。培訓對一個公司的發(fā)展和員工的成長都是至關重要的。文章的內(nèi)容比較泛,但是題目的答案比較明顯。
    第一題,教練和員工之間的接觸不能解決工作中的所有困難。答案是C段的這么一句:In theory, the coaching relationship
    should provide answers to every problem, but in practice it falls short of
    this.理論上,培訓可以提供所有問題的答案。但是實踐中達不到這樣。Fall short of是關鍵詞。
    第二題,討論某些情況如果再度出現(xiàn)的話怎么樣可以處理的更好。答案是A段的這么一句:analysing how they were managed and
    how they might be dealt with more effectively on subsequent
    occasions.分析應該如何進行處理并且在接下來的情況下怎樣可以處理的更有效。這里的dealt with more
    effectively對應于題干中的better handled,on subsequent occasions.也就是occur again。
    第三題,教練鼓勵員工將所學應用到日常的工作中。答案是B段的這么一句:helps individuals to use formally learnt
    knowledge in day-to-day work and management
    situations.幫助個人將學到的正式知識用在日常工作和管理情況下。這里的day-to-day work and management
    situations就是題干中的routine work situations,what has been taught也就是formally learnt
    knowledge。
    第四題,培訓為在現(xiàn)有崗位上不高興的個人提供了新的興趣。答案是D段的這么一句:providing added job satisfaction to
    managers who feel they are stuck in their present
    jobs。對感覺自己在現(xiàn)有崗位上受困的經(jīng)理們提供附加的工作滿足感。這里的stuck in their present jobs就是題干中的unhappy in
    their current position,added job satisfaction可以對應于題干中的new interest。
    第五題,培訓提供了一個有力的、支持性的討論工作表現(xiàn)的環(huán)境。答案是A段的:It also allows successes and failures
    to be evaluated in a non-threatening
    atmosphere.它允許成功和失敗在一個沒有威脅的氣氛下被評估。成功和失敗也就是performance,supportive
    environment可以對應于non-threatening atmosphere。
    第六題,員工被要求分析他們自己并且培養(yǎng)出更強的自知。有必要理解下self-awareness的含義,不能簡單的從中文理解成自我意識,看英文解釋:knowledge
    and understanding of yourself。所以答案是B段的這么一句:requires them to consider their own
    behaviour and question their reasons for doing
    things.要求他們考慮自己的行為并且思考這么做的理由。consider their own behaviour可以對應于題干中的analyse
    themselves,思考這么做的理由也是為了進一步增進對自己的認識。
    第七題,培訓可以使得公司對某個領域的技術缺失迅速做出反應。答案是C段的后一句:indicate how employees should deal
    with challenging situations, all at short notice.指出員工怎樣處理有挑戰(zhàn)性的情況,在短時間內(nèi)。At short
    notice是一接到通知就,短時間內(nèi)的意思,可以對應這一題的respond rapidly,challenging situations可以指代題干中的a
    lack of expertise in a certain area.
