听力原文：F：Professor Bevan，how important is motivation for a manager？
M：Oh，motivation is extremely important．I would say it's the most important aspect of a manager's
job．A manager's job is to get the job done，whatever that job might be．So a manager has to motivate the workers as a team and also on an individual basis．Without motivation，the job just won't get done．
F：So how do managers go about doing this？ It doesn't sound very easy．
M：No，it is a complicated issue．But managers have special tools．They are trained to use them to boost motivation and increase production to a maximum．
F：Oh，tools？
M：Yes，tools like praise，approval and recognition．And…yes，and there is trust，and expectation．All important for workers．
F：And money？ How about money？
M：Yes，money is a factor but you might be surprised to learn that it comes out last on the list of these tools that we are talking about．The Saratoga Institute repots that 88% of employees voluntarily leave their jobs for other reasons，such as person-job mismatch，insufficient coaching and feedback,poor career-advancement prospects，work-life imbalance，distrust toward senior leader ship．and…and also low confidence in leadership．
F：Well，there are so many factors．
M：Yes．Still，many managers refuse to acknowledge these factors，preferring to see more money as the prime motivator．
F：So，what comes before money？What sorts of things are more important for workers？
M：Well，all of the things that I have already mentioned，and then，let me see…job enrichment and good communication between the workers and the bosses．You know，good managers should know how to provide the everyday coaching，feedback，and recognition that keep employees engaged．
F：And have you got any examples of real life situations to back up your cla ms？
M：Well，one good example is the firm Western Electric．When managers started taking an interest in their workers there was a huge increase in production．They started to talk to the workers and en couraged them to get involved in decision-making．Workers began to feel that their contributions were important．And it paid off．
F：Productivity increased？
M：Yes，hugely．The Swedish company Kochums is another example．The company was on the verge of collapse when managers decided to try a change in motivation practice．
F：What did they do？
M：Well，basically it was a change in attitude towards their workers．Managers decided to stop giving orders and to try persuading them instead．
F：And it worked？
M：Absolutely．In just ten years they managed to turn a 15 million dollar loss into a 100 million dollarprofit．
F：So，let's get this straight．Are you saying that workers are not interested in earning more money？
M：I'm saying they're not JUST interested in money．It is important of course．We need to enjoy a certain standard of living．But，as I mentioned before，there are other things that are even more important； such as praise，approval，recognition，trust and expectation，job enrichment and good communi cation．
F：Ok，according to your research，how does a great manager motivate workers on an individual basis？
M：Each person's talent is unique．Great managers recognize that each person is motivated differently．They try to help each person become more of what one already is．
F：Could you elaborate on this point a bit further？
M：Sure．You know，great managers believe that each individual is uniquely talented，expressing themselves through unique goals，unique capabilities，and unique accomplishments．That is why great managers do not help people fix their weaknesses．Instead，they focus on their strengths…

Entertainment in London
Buying Books
Londoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and even of books especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy "proper" books, too, printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.
There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being "the biggest bookshop in the world" to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kinds of books, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books or philosophy, politic or any other of the various subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet!
Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must venture off the busy and crowded roads, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grand as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on to barrows(推车) which line the gutters(贫民区). And the collectors, some professional and some amateur, who have been waiting for them, pounce towards the sellers. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.
Both Charing Cross Road and Farringdon Road are well-known places of the book buyer. Yet all over London there are bookshops, in places not so well known, where the books are equally varied and exciting. It is in the sympathetic atmosphere of such shops that the loyal book buyer feels most at home. In these shops, even the life-long book-browser is frequently rewarded by the accidental discovery of previously unknown delights. One could, in fact, easily spend a lifetime exploring London's bookshops. There are many less pleasant ways of spending time!
Going to the Theatre
London is very rich in theatres: there are over forty in the West End alone--more than enough to ensure that there will always be at least two or three shows running to suit every kind taste, whether serious or lighthearted.
Some of them are specialist theatres. The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, where the great opera singers of the world can be heard, is the home of opera and the Royal Ballet. The London Coliseum now houses the English National Opera Company, which encourages English singers in particular and performs most operas in English at popular prices.
Some theatres concentrate on the classics and serious drama, some on light comedy, some on musicals. Most theatres have a personality of their own, from the old, such as the Theatre Royal (also called the "Haymarket") in the Haymarket, to the more modern such as the recently opened Baibican centre in the city. The National Theatre has three separate theatres in its new building by Waterloo Bridge. At the new Barbican centre the Royal Shakespeare Company has their London home-their other centre is at Stratfor-on-Avon.
Most of the old London theatres are concentrated in a very small area, within a stone's throw of the Piccadilly and Leicester Square tube stations. As the evening performances normally begin either at seven-thirty or eight p. m., there is a kind of minor rush-hour between seven-fifteen and eight o'clock in this district. People stream out of the nearby tube stations, the pavements are crowded, and taxis and private cars
The word "warrant" was originally a Norman French word and became an English word at some
