问题 It's not difficult to set targets for staff. It is much harder, 1 , to understand their negative consequences. Most work-related behaviors have multiple components. 2 one and the others become distorted. Travel on a London bus and you'll 3 see how this works with drivers. Watch people get on and show their tickets. Are they carefully inspected? Never. Do people get on without paying? Of course! Are there inspectors to 4 that people have paid? Possibly, but very few. And people who run for the bus? They are 5 How about jumping lights? Buses do so almost as frequently as cyclists. Why? Because the target is 6 People complained that buses were late and infrequent. 7 ,the number of buses and bus lanes were increased, and drivers were 8 or punished according to the time they took. And drivers hit these targets. But they 9 hit cyclists. If the target was changed to 10 , you would have more inspectors and more sensitive pricing. If the criterion changed to safety, you would get more 11 drivers who obeyed traffic laws. But both these criteria would be at the expense of time.

Most jobs are multidimensional, with multiple criteria. Choose one criterion and you may well 16 others. Everything can be done faster and made cheaper, but there is a 17 . Setting targets can and does have unforeseen negative consequences. This is not an argument against target-setting. But it is an argument for exploring consequences first. All good targets should have multiple criteria 18 critical factors such as time, money, quality and customer feedback.The trick is not only to 19 just one or even two dimensions of the objective, but also to understand how to help people better 20 the objective. 第（7）题选A.YetB.BesidesC.StillD.So

选项 A.Yet
B.Besides
C.Still
D.So

答案 D

解析空格前一句指出：因为目标是准时，人们抱怨公共汽车晚点，而且班次稀少。空格后一句指出：公共汽车和公交专用道的数量增加了，司机们根据所花的时间受到奖励或者惩罚。根据句子之间的逻辑关系可知，上文提到人们抱怨公车晚点和车次不够，下文提到增加公车数量以及车道，上下文存在因果关系，so意为“因此，所以”，表示因果关系，故选D。
