Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.

     The reporter was talking to them about being important.

     “How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.

     The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important.”

     The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.

     The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You‘d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”

     The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?”

     “No, I don‘t,” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”

     “Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.

     “Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, ‘It’s for you.‘ ”

After graduation I returned home to my small town in Indiana. I didn’t have a job yet. Mr. Hobbs, a friend of my father’s, owned a small shirt factory in town. Within the past five years it had grown from twenty to eighty workers. Mr. Hobbs was worried that his plant was getting too big and inefficient, so he asked me to come in on a short-term basis as a consultant.

I went to the plant and spent about a week looking around and making notes. I was really a mazed at what I saw.

Most curious of all, there was no quality control at all. No one inspected the final product of the factory. As a result some of the shirts that were put in boxes for shipment were missing one or two buttons, the collar, and even a sleeve sometimes!

The working conditions were poor. The tables where the workers sat were very high and uncomfortable. Except for a half hour at lunchtime, there were no breaks in the day to relieve the boring work. There was no music. The walls of the workrooms were a dull gray color. I was amazed that the workers hadn’t gone on strike.

Furthermore, the work flow was irregular. There was one especially absent-minded young man in the assembly(组装)line who sewed on buttons. After a while I recognized him as "Big Jim", who used to sit behind me in math class in high school. He was very slow and all the shifts were held up at his position. Workers beyond him in line on his shift had to wait with nothing to do; therefore, a great deal of time and efficiency were lost as Big Jim daydreamed while he worked. All week I wondered why he wasn’t fired.

After I made observations for a week, Mr. Hobbs asked me for an oral report of my findings.

1.The shirts from Mr. Hobbs’ factory can be described as ____.

A.of low quality

B.of high quality

C.fashionable

D.unfashionable

2.Why did Mr. Hobbs ask the writer to the factory?

A.The factory was too big.

B.The factory was not producing fast enough.

C.The factory was not big enough.

D.The writer was a college graduate.

3.Which is not likely to happen in the factory?

A.The workers will have more rest in the day.

B.Someone will examine the final product.

C.New machines will be bought.

D.The factory will be repainted.

4.Big Jim may get fired mainly because ____.

A.he was slow

B.he wasted much time

C.he was absent-minded

D.the work flow was irregular
