payment recently topped $14 million. Is a multimillion-dollar payday the key to corporate ethics? Exercise three: The author of the text has conducted a research of 926 employees from around the world and here are some of his findings. Match the headings below with the corresponding paragraphs. A. Small ethical lapses are already happening in your company B. The biggest problem isn't the sin, it's the silence C. Previous practice, not degree of fear, predicts who speaks up
1. For example, Carl previously addressed concerns about slacking colleagues. That experience likely increased his sense of efficacy in handling dicey conversations. Later, when he discovered that his grammar: http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2013/09/will-versus-shall/ CEO was guilty of falsifying sales records to make the organization appear more successful than it was, he approached both the CEO and the board.

DO vs MAKE
Do and make are verbs students usually confuse. This is no wonder because although there are some general rules, there are also many exceptions.
DO
is generally used for rather intellectual activities and more specifically: 1. when talking about work, jobs or tasks. Have you done your homework? I haven't done the gardening. 2. when we refer to activities in general without being specific. In these cases, we normally use words like thing, something, nothing, anything, everything, etc. Hurry up, I've got things to do! 3. to replace a verb when the meaning is clear or obvious, commonly in informal English. I need to do my hair this week. Have you done the kitchen yet?
MAKE
is generally used for rather manual activities when it means to produce, construct, create or build and more specifically: 1. to indicate the origin of a product or the materials that are used to make something. His wedding ring is made of gold. These watches were made in Switzerland. 2. for producing an action or reaction. Onions make your eyes water. You make me happy. 3. with nouns about speaking and certain sounds. make a comment, make a noise, make a speech 4. with food, drinks and meals. make a cake, make a cup of tea, make dinner. 5. with plans and decisions. make an arrangement, make a decision, make a choice

B. This is a big year for American pot smokers. Business has been brisk at shops in Colorado where, for the first time, people can buy marijuana to smoke purely for pleasure. Stores in Washington state are set to open in a few months and others may follow, as authorities eye a new source of tax dollars from a policy that now has broad popular support. Yet as the momentum for reform has gathered pace, one issue has largely been brushed aside - the fate of those arrested in the past.

C. Even those who were not convicted, merely arrested for possessing marijuana - in amounts now legal in Washington or Colorado - have a blot on their police record that can cause problems when they apply for jobs, housing, or student loans. D."Employers are routinely doing security checks and in many cases don't make any distinction between an arrest and a conviction," says Marc Mauer of the Sentencing Project, which campaigns for sentencing reform. "Any contact with the criminal justice system is essentially ruling people out in the eyes of many employers." He says this produces "profound racial disparities". E. Every year for more than three decades, hundreds of thousands of marijuana-related arrests have been made across the US.
