BENEFICIAL WORK PRACTICES FOR THE KEYBOARD

OPERATOR

A    Sensible work practices are an important factor in the prevention of muscular

fatigue; discomfort or pain in the arms, neck, hands or back; or eye strain which can be

associated with constant or regular work at a keyboard and visual display unit (VDU).

B    It is vital that the employer pays attention to the physical setting such as

workplace design, the office environment, and placement of monitors as well as the

organisation of the work and individual work habits. Operators must be able to recognise

work-related health problems and be given the opportunity to participate in the

management of these. Operators should take note of and follow the preventive

measures outlined below.

C    The typist must be comfortably accommodated in a chair that is adjustable for

height with a back rest that is also easily adjustable both for angle and height. The back

rest and sitting ledge (with a curved edge) should preferably be cloth-covered to avoid

excessive perspiration.

D    When the keyboard operator is working from a paper file or manuscript, it should

be at the same distance from the eyes as the screen. The most convenient position can

be found by using some sort of holder. Individual arrangement will vary according to

whether the operator spends more time looking at the VDU or the paper – whichever the

eyes are focused on for the majority of time should be put directly in front of the

operator.

E    While keying, it is advisable to have frequent but short pauses of around thirty to

sixty seconds to proofread. When doing this, relax your hands. After you have been

keying for sixty minutes, you should have a ten minute change of activity. During this

spell it is important that you do not remain seated but stand up or walk around. This

period could be profitably used to do filing or collect and deliver documents.

F    Generally, the best position for a VDU is at right angles to the window. If this is

not possible then glare from the window can be controlled by blinds, curtains or movable

screens. Keep the face of the VDU vertical to avoid glare from overhead lighting.

G    Unsatisfactory work practices or working conditions may result in aches or pain.

Symptoms should be reported to your supervisor early on so that the cause of the

trouble can be corrected and the operator should seek medical attention.

QUESTIONS 22–28

Read the text below and answer Questions 22–28.

Workplace dismissals

Before the dismissal

If an employer wants to dismiss an employee, there is a process to be followed.

Instances of minor misconduct and poor performance must first be addressed through

some preliminary steps.

Firstly, you should be given an improvement note. This will explain the problem, outline

any necessary changes and offer some assistance in correcting the situation. Then, if

your employer does not think your performance has improved, you may be given a

written warning. The last step is called a final written warning which will inform you that

you will be dismissed unless there are improvements in performance. If there is no

improvement, your employer can begin the dismissal procedure.

The dismissal procedure begins with a letter from the employer setting out the charges

made against the employee. The employee will be invited to a meeting to discuss these

accusations. If the employee denies the charges, he is given the opportunity to appear at

a formal appeal hearing in front of a different manager. After this, a decision is made as

to whether the employee will be let go or not.

Dismissals

Of the various types of dismissal, a fair dismissal is the best kind if an employer wants

an employee out of the workplace. A fair dismissal is legally and contractually strong and

it means all the necessary procedures have been correctly followed. In cases where an

employee’s misconduct has been very serious, however, an employer may not have to

follow all of these procedures. If the employer can prove that the employee’s behaviour

was illegal, dangerous or severely wrong, the employee can be dismissed immediately:

a procedure known as summary dismissal.

Sometimes a dismissal is not considered to have taken place fairly. One of these types

is wrongful dismissal and involves a breach of contract by the employer. This could

involve dismissing an employee without notice or without following proper disciplinary

and dismissal procedures. Another type, unfair dismissal, is when an employee is

sacked without good cause.

There is another kind of dismissal, known as constructive dismissal, which is slightly

peculiar because the employee is not actually openly dismissed by the employer. In this

case the employee is forced into resigning by an employer who tries to make significant

changes to the original contract. This could mean an employee might have to work night

shifts after originally signing on for day work, or he could be made to work in dangerous

conditions.

Questions 22 and 23

Complete the sentences below.

Choose NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the text for each answer.

Write your answers in boxes 22–23 on your answer sheet.

22 If an employee receives a ……………….. , this means he will lose his job if his

work does not get better.

23 If an employee does not accept the reasons for his dismissal, a ……………….. can

be arranged.

Questions 24–28

Look at the following descriptions (Questions 24–28) and the list of terms in the box

below.

Match each description with the correct term A–E.

Write the appropriate letter A–E in boxes 24–28 on your answer sheet.

24 An employee is asked to leave work straight away because he has done

something really bad.

25 An employee is pressured to leave his job unless he accepts conditions that are

very different from those agreed to in the beginning.

26 An employer gets rid of an employee without keeping to conditions in the contract.

27 The reason for an employee’s dismissal is not considered good enough.

28 The reasons for an employee’s dismissal are acceptable by law and the terms of

the employment contract.

A Fair dismissal

B Summary dismissal

C Unfair dismissal

D Wrongful dismissal

E Constructive dismissal

SECTION 3 QUESTIONS 29–40

Read the text below and answer Questions 29–40

A    From the very first caveman to scale a tree or hang from a cliff face, to the mighty

armies of the Greco-Roman empires and the gymnasiums of modern American high

schools, calisthenics has endured and thrived because of its simplicity and utility. Unlike

strength training which involves weights, machines or resistance bands, calisthenics

uses only the body’s own weight for physical development.

B    Calisthenics enters the historical record at around 480 B.C., with Herodotus’

account of the Battle of Thermopolylae. Herodotus reported that, prior to the battle, the

god-king Xerxes sent a scout party to spy on his Spartan enemies. The scouts informed

Xerxes that the Spartans, under the leadership of King Leonidas, were practicing some

kind of bizarre, synchronised movements akin to a tribal dance. Xerxes was greatly

amused. His own army was comprised of over 120,000 men, while the Spartans had just

300. Leonidas was informed that he must retreat or face annihilation. The Spartans did

not retreat, however, and in the ensuing battle they managed to hold Xerxes’ enormous

army at bay for some time until reinforcements arrived. It turns out their tribal dance was

not a superstitious ritual but a form of calisthenics by which they were building awe-

inspiring physical strength and endurance.

雅思閱讀必備--Heading題解題策略

C   The Greeks took calisthenics seriously not only as a form of military discipline and

strength, but also as an artistic expression of movement and an aesthetically ideal

physique. Indeed, the term calisthenics itself is derived from the Greek words for beauty

and strength. We know from historical records and images from pottery, mosaics and

sculptures of the period that the ancient Olympians took calisthenics training seriously.

They were greatly admired – and still are, today – for their combination of athleticism

and physical beauty. You may have heard a friend whimsically sigh and mention that

someone ‘has the body of a Greek god’. This expression has travelled through centuries

and continents, and the source of this envy and admiration is the calisthenics method.

D    Calisthenics experienced its second golden age in the 1800s. This century saw the

birth of gymnastics, an organised sport that uses a range of bars, rings, vaulting horses

and balancing beams to display physical prowess. This period is also when the

phenomena of strongmen developed. These were people of astounding physical

strength and development who forged nomadic careers by demonstrating outlandish

feats of strength to stunned populations. Most of these men trained using hand

balancing and horizontal bars, as modern weight machines had not yet been invented.

E    In the 1950s, Angelo Siciliano – who went by the stage name Charles Atlas – was

crowned “The World’s Most Perfectly Developed Man”. Atlas’s own approach stemmed

from traditional calisthenics, and through a series of mail order comic books he taught

these methods to hundreds of thousands of children and young adults through the 1960s

and 1970s. But Atlas was the last of a dying breed. The tides were turning, fitness

methods were drifting away from calisthenics, and no widely-regarded proponent of the

method would ever succeed him.

F    In the 1960s and 1970s calisthenics and the goal of functional strength combined

with physical beauty was replaced by an emphasis on huge muscles at any cost. This

became the sport of body building. Although body building’s pioneers were drawn from

the calisthenics tradition, the sole goal soon became an increase in muscle size. Body

building icons, people such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sergio Oliva, were called

mass monsters because of their imposing physiques. Physical development of this

nature was only attainable through the use of anabolic steroids, synthetic hormones

which boosted muscle development while harming overall health. These body builders

also relied on free weights and machines, which allowed them to target and bloat the

size of individual muscles rather than develop a naturally proportioned body.

Calisthenics, with its emphasis on physical beauty and a balance in proportions, had

little to offer the mass monsters.

G    In this “bigger is better” climate, calisthenics was relegated to groups perceived to

be vulnerable, such as women, people recuperating from injuries and school students.

Although some of the strongest and most physically developed human beings ever to

have lived acquired their abilities through the use of sophisticated calisthenics, a great

deal of this knowledge was discarded and the method was reduced to nothing more than

an easily accessible and readily available activity. Those who mastered the rudimentary

skills of calisthenics could expect to graduate to weight training rather than advanced

calisthenics.

H    In recent years, however, fitness trends have been shifting back toward the use of

calisthenics. Bodybuilding approaches that promote excessive muscle development

frequently lead to joint pain, injuries, unbalanced physiques and weak cardiovascular

health. As a result, many of the newest and most popular gyms and programmes

emphasise calisthenics-based methods instead. Modern practices often combine

elements from a number of related traditions such as yoga, Pilates, kettle-ball training,

gymnastics and traditional Greco-Roman calisthenics. Many people are keen to recover

the original Greek vision of physical beauty and strength and harmony of the mind-body

connection.

29 the origin of the word ‘calisthenics’

30 the last popular supporter of calisthenics

31 the first use of calisthenics as a training method

32 a multidisciplinary approach to all-round health and strength

33 reasons for the survival of calisthenics throughout the ages

34 the use of a medical substance to increase muscle mass and strength

35 a reference to travelling showmen who displayed their strength for audiences

QUESTIONS 36–40

Complete the summary below.

Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the text for each answer.

Write your answers in boxes 36–40 on your answer sheet.

During the sixties and seventies, attaining huge muscles became more important than

36 ……………….. or having an attractive-looking body. The first people to take up this

new sport of body building had a background in calisthenics but the most famous

practitioners became known as 37 ……………….. on account of the impressive size of

their muscles. Drugs and mechanical devices were used to develop individual muscles

to a monstrous size.

Calisthenics then became the domain of ‘weaker’ people: females, children and those

recovering from 38 ……………….. . Much of the advanced knowledge about calisthenics

was lost and the method was subsequently downgraded to the status of a simple, user-

friendly activity. Once a person became skilled at this, he would progress to 39

……………….. .

Currently a revival of calisthenics is under way as extreme muscle building can harm the

body leaving it sore, out of balance, and in poor 40 ……………….. .
