　Section I Use of English

　　Directions: Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on Answer Sheet 1 (10 points)

　　History has served up important lessons that show what happens when a company or individual tries to avoid _1_ the existence of a crisis. Look _2_ to the Exxon Valdez oil tanker fiasco when Exxon chief Lawrence Bawl stonewalled journalists. _3_ that official silence did was fuel the distrust of the public and cause a backlash where customers cut their Exxon credit cards _4_ disgust. The _5_ side of the coin is the classic Johnson & Johnson (J & J) Tylenol tampering case. In that instance, where some kook poisoned bottles of Tylenol, J&J's CEO James Burke acknowledged the crisis _6_ its first night and ordered all Tylenol _7_ the supermarket shelves until the situation was _8_.

　　Now which corporate executive do you think came out on top? By acknowledging the _9_, James Burke was able to get everyone moving together toward a solution. With Exxon's _10_ to acknowledge the Valdez oil spill, everyone was _11_ in pointing the blame versus working together toward a solution. Acknowledgement up front not only appeases your customers, but also _12_ the opportunity for your competitors to _13_ or capitalize on false rumors. You remove the competitor's trump card. By the time Exxon came around to acknowledging _14_ happened with that oil spill in Alaska, it had to _15_ with the public-relations nightmare of dispelling all of the untruths that developed lives of their own before the company could _16_ deal with the real problem situation.

　　_17_ yourself a favor and acknowledge a disastrous incident up front. Then get to work making things work better. Remember, by acknowledging a disaster, we aren't suggesting that you _18_ and accept blame. Acknowledging the situation is merely an act of admitting that it _19_ exist and creates an atmosphere _20_ to moving toward a solution.
