Section B
Text 11
Well, I own a small data processing company, in which I employ about 810 workers. And the point I want to make has to do with trust. I know it's possible to force people to be 100% efficient. But I think when you do that you lose confidence and trust. I let my employees use our equipment and make personal phone calls. They are more than welcome to decide what is right and wrong, because I think you can't run a company by just giving orders to robots and watching them like Big Brother, right? I think you have to trust people and give them a little freedom. And also as far as phone calls and all that go, I want my people to call home and check on their children and know their children are safe and sound. As a result, I have devoted employees who are willing to go that extra mile and I can honestly say they show up to work smiling. So I get more satisfaction and rewards by trusting my employees than by suspecting them of doing something wrong.
Q 11：Which of the following does the speaker allow his employees to do?
Q 12：What result does the speaker expect to see under his management?
Q 13：What does the speaker consider important in running a small company?

The roots of Canadian English can be found in the events which followed the American Revolution of 1776. Those who have supported Britain found themselves unable to stay in the new United States and most went to Canada. They were soon followed by many thousands who were attracted by the cheapness of land. Within 50 years, the population of upper Canada have reached 100 000, mainly people from the United States. In the east, the Atlantic provinces had been settled with English speakers as early as the 15th century. But even today, these areas contain less than 10% of the population, so that they only have a limited role in the development of Canadian English. In Quebec, the majority of people use French as a mother tongue. Here English and French exist together but uneasily. Because of its origins, Canadian English has a great deal in common with the rest of English spoken in North America. And it's often difficult to distinguish for people who live outside the region. To British people, Canadians may sound American, to Americans, they may sound British. Canadians themselves insist on not being identified with either. And certainly there is a great deal of evidence in support of this view.
Q 14：Why did many Americans leave for Canada after the revolution?
Q 15：What can we learn about people in the Atlantic provinces?
Q 16：What conclusion can be drawn about Canadian English from this passage?
