The reason given is usually security\n- that burglars will be less likely to find anything interesting if it is put away - but that is a\npoor excuse. Any self-respecting burglar can pick the lock of a filing cabinet, and will be far\nmore likely to find what he is looking for in a methodical office than in one whose logic is\ncomprehensible only to its creator.\n5.2.\nThe real reason is more likely to be the common hostility to ‘clutter’, which managers tend to\nregard as an obstacle to work. Although office clutter is usually almost entirely work-related,\nit tends to be treated as though it consisted of the dirty socks and crisp packets\nof an adolescent. Workers are confused. They know that creating clutter is an essential part\nof the way they work, but they are made to feel bad about it. And there are plenty of parasites\nwho make a living out of this confusion: Jeffery Mayer, for instance, who exhorts people\nto “Get rid of the clutter! Save time! Become more productive!” in his book Winning\nthe Fight between You and Your Desk.\n5.3.\nDuring the 1990s, progress in electronic equipment lent authority to the familiar prejudice\nagainst clutter. Clutter, after all, was paper, and paper was old-fashioned. Paper has no\nmemory; paper cannot be networked. As digital services began to talk to each other, as\ncomputers proliferated, the persistent popularity of a means of communication that had been\naround for 6,000 years became increasingly irritating to the guardians of the Zeitgeist. Some\nof the digital age’s finest thinkers set about burying paper. Paul Saffo, director of the Institute\nfor the Future in Menlo Park, California, explained in 1992 that “paper is well on its way to\nbecoming a metaphor rather than a medium,” in the sense that the screen and stylus of a\nhandheld organiser mimic notebook and pencil. “Digital paper and computers that you can\nroll up will become business realities after this decade is over,” he wrote.\n5.4.\nIt is fortunate for contemporary prophets that most of their predictions are as swiftly forgotten\nas they are made, for paper, while it may be used in a metaphorical sense by the electronics\nindustry, has also remained stubbornly literal. The more digital information sped around the\nCzęść II\n3\nworld, the more people wanted to print it out. From 1992 to 2002, world consumption of\npaper and board products grew from 250m tonnes to 325m.\n5.5.\nA few of those prophets, however, tried to impose their ideas on their employees. The most\ndramatic of these experiments took place at the offices of Chiat/Day, an American advertising\nagency. In 1993, Jay Chiat had a revelation while on the ski slopes and realised that his\nemployees’ minds were trapped by the boxes they were working in. Free their bodies from\nthe box and you would free their minds, and consequently productivity would soar.\nThey were, accordingly, installed in offices without desks or filing cabinets. There were sofas\nto sit on and a few special rooms for meetings. There was nowhere to keep any paper; indeed,\nnobody was supposed to keep paper.\n5.6.\nChiat/Day’s employees behaved like any group of refugees torn from familiar surroundings.\nThey tried to rebuild their world. One woman bought a child’s red wagon, put her paper files\nin it and trailed it around the corridors after her. Most people recreated their desks in the boots\nof their cars, where they stored their files and notebooks, dashing in and out of the building\nto the parking lot during meetings. Groups of workers took permanent control of meeting\nrooms and a shanty-town of desks grew up. The company was eventually bought by\na traditionalist rival and normal life resumed.\n5.7.\nBut the inhabitants of our editorial offices are mostly left alone to adapt the environment\nto their convenience. The floors of The Economist’s offices are treated somewhat like a nature\nreserve where strange beasts roam and browse at will, undisturbed by the fads and fancies that\nsweep through the rest of business life.\nabridged from ‘In praise of clutter’, The Economist, 21 December 2002\n5.8. ‘Clean desk’ policies are introduced\nA. to prevent burglars from damaging filing cabinets.\nB. to eliminate factors interfering with people’s work.\nC. to collect evidence of each worker’s daily activity.\nD. to make workers less confused in the workplace.\n5.9.

Many people from\nall over the world will come to the city crowned by the Parthenon. But the Greeks, hoping\nagainst hope, have invited a very special group of guests who will not be coming.\nThe sacred figures of the Elgin Marbles, sawn off the temple by a Scottish nobleman\nalmost 200 years ago, will be staying in the British Museum.\nB. Where are they going, those grave maidens carrying wreaths, those bareback horsemen\nbrooding as they ride? I'm one of those who hope that they are going back to Greece.\nNot just because Lord Elgin took them wrongfully, and not just because the Greeks need\nthem more than we do. But because it's time they left England. They have been here too\nlong for England's good.\nC. The Marbles in the British Museum are performers, trained as actors in a ceremony.\nBut this is not the Panathenaic Procession. It is a Great British ceremony, about\nan imperial splendour which thought of itself as universal rather than merely national.\nThe figures exhibited in the Duveen Gallery no longer deliver Athens any more than\nthe bagpipers who tramp round banquets at Windsor Castle deliver Scotland. They are\nguests from Greece who became so well known during the 19th century that they were\nadopted into the family.\nD. The controversy has been running for two centuries. The arguments for keeping\nthe Marbles in London change all the time, but the arguments for returning them stay\nmuch the same. In 1828, a Polish visitor to London wrote in her diary: 'There [in Athens]\neverything had its reason for existence and meaning and formed one whole;\nhere everything is in pieces, almost in ruins, without any sense or order. In a word, these\nremains brought to England are no longer what they were in Greece where the common\npeople, even through looking at them, developed their taste and perception.' That remains\nthe core of the returners' case. The Marbles only make sense when they are together\nin the context of the great building of which they were an integral part, and they are\nthe central symbol of the Greek nation's identity.\nE. Repatriation is in vouge and the current of opinion is moving against the British Museum.\nBut what about the fear of many big museums that returning the marbles would unleash\na flood of demands for other treasures to be repatriated - Berlin’s Pergamon Altar back\nto Turkey or Napoleon’s loot in the Louvre back to Venice or Egypt? Richard Allan MP,\nlike the Greeks, insists that the Parthenon is a special case which sets no precedent.\nThe Marbles, he says, are not isolated objects, but part of the monument that still exists.\nAnd that makes the difference.\nF. The Greeks are planning to open the so-called 'virtual Parthenon'. When this museum\non the Acropolis is complete, a new situation will exist in which Greece and Britain could\ninvent a solution which humiliates neither side. The Greeks no longer insist on property\nrights and suggest the marbles could be loaned to a part of the Acropolis Museum under\nBritish Museum authority. After all, England has had its turn and sucked its own bizarre\nidentity-juice from these stones. That was long ago, and they do not matter to this culture\nas they once did. Greece has been very patient, but should now welcome its exiles home.\nabridgeded from Neal Ascherson, ‘End the exile’, The Observer, 20 June 2004\nCzęść II\n5\nWhich paragraph\nANSWER\n6.1. mentions exact location of the Elgin Marbles in the British Museum?\n6.2. presents a foreigner’s justification for returning the Marbles?\n6.3. compares the Elgin Marbles figures to refugees?\n6.4. describes the figures of the stolen masterpiece in detail?\n6.5. mentions the origin of the man who took the Marbles from Greece?\n6.6. expresses hope for a compromise?\n6.7. presents the author’s reasons for returning the Marbles to Greece?\n6.8.\nExplain the meaning of the phrase ‘hoping against hope’ as used in the first paragraph.\n6.9.\nIn what way are the Elgin Marbles in London and bagpipes in Windsor similar in\nthe eyes of the author?\n6.10.
