ith the challenge because human speech lacks the stability and permanence of the printed word. Oral munication is fastmoving and impermanent. Question 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard:29. What did the child’s family members argue about in the hospital?30. What did Doc. Myer do to insure her patients understand her instructions?31. What does the speaker say about human speech?Passage 3It’s logical to suppose that things like good labor relations, good working conditions, good wages and benefits and job security motivate workers, but one expert, Fredrick Herzberg argued that such conditions do not motivate workers. They are merely satisfiers. Motivators, in contrast, include things such as having a challenging and interesting job, recognition and responsibility.

Q32: What can actually motivate workers according to Fredrick Herzberg?Q33: What does the speaker say about jobs in the puter era?Q34: What do some supermarkets do to motivate their employees?Q35: Why does the speaker say financial targets are less likely to motivate workers?
