Li:Who is round ?A:You...Outsideview :How to get a jobGraduation.What a big day!Your life is about to begin!And then your parents say..."Get a job".I tell you!Looking for your first job out of college can be pretty hard.Reading all the job listing is so annoying.Even trying to figure out what the actual job is can be difficult.Searching through the want ads can be so boring.And writing your resume is really hard work."I don't have that day open."Getting a job interview,and then going on it—the whole process is pretty tough."Sorry to keep you waiting.Uh,have a seat.""I have your resume here,and you are interested in the assistant's position.""Yeah,yeah""Well,the right candidate for this job has to be very outgoing and sociable.After all it is a sale position.""Well, I'm a real extrovert(性格外向的人).Definitely.""And the right candidate has to have great self-confidence.Customers need to feel that you know what you're talking about.""Well, I'm really self-confident.Um I know what I'm talking about and I think I can project that""So,what skills would you bring to this job?"""Well, I realize that I'm completely overqualified for this position.I mean,um,in my last job,I was running the whole place.""Oh,so you've supervised people?""Yep,five of them.So,obviously I could do this job,no problem.I also have really good computer skills.Um what else do you want to know about me?""Eh..."Even though I was trying really hard,even though I had sent out about 300 resumes,even though I asked all my friend and relatives if they knew of anything.I wasn't getting anywhere!Despite all my best efforts,I was still unemployed."Please,why don't you see a career counsellor（顾问）?I'll pay for it.Anything to help you get a job!""Samantha,I'm Phyllis Stein.Welcome""Oh,hi,Phyllis.Nice to meet you."So I figure,heck,why not?I met with Phyllis Stein,a professional job coach."Interviewing is vital to getting the job that you want."She showed me how to prepare for an interview by doing research on the position and the company.And latter,she coaching me on my interviewing skills."I am going to pretend to be your interviewer,and then we'll stop it and replay it and look at the video and see what we could learn from that.OK?""I don't think that you should go into an interview having not practised with some of the questions that are pretty standard.""Tell me about yourself.""Well,my parents—my mom is a social worker,and my dad is an engineer.""Your preparation is really important.""What do you know about our organization?""Well,I saw on,um,on the Internet that ,you do business publishing?Right?""There is a whole range of things that have to do with how you present yourself/""Why should I hire you?""Oh,well.,um, I'm a really outgoing person,and I like,I like people a lot.I'm responsible and nice.""You need to think about what the interviewer is actually looking for.""Samantha, what was a major problem that you've encountered and how did you solve it?""I haven't really had any problems to deal with. ""Thank you.Now let's look at your mock interview on videotape. ""I think it boils down（归结为）to preparation,presentation, and understanding what the interviewer is looking for "(Watching the videotape)"Another way of answering it is not telling about yourself ,but telling your relationship to the job."So,they don't care so much about your parents and that you want to live in Cambridge.They may need you to be able to be a troubleshooter.You use some examples in your life from being a troubleshooter.""One of the things that someone who is an assistant in a trade show is doing,is dealing with problems.You need to be sure that you stay,sort of ,on target with preventing,presenting yourself in the strongest possible way."This time I felt a lot more confident when I went in for the interview."I have developed strong communication skills.In college I worked on the school paper and I brought some writing samples to show you.""I also worked every summer at a bed-and-breakfast.""I worked a lot with our guests.I booked reservation over the phone,got them what they needed,and handled any complains.""Well,I feel like I did really well.We'll see. "Making a good first impression is the most important part of a job interview.Arriving on time and being confident are the most important parts of a job interview.It's very important that you are being confident and you're being clear in your answers and listening carefully Not fidgeting（坐立不安，烦躁）and being confident are the most important things in a job interview.Writing a thank-you note is the most important thing you want to do after a job interview/And go in there with a firm handshake.Listening in"It's not enough to ask what successful people are like...It is only by asking where they are from that we can unravel the logic behind who succeed and who doesn't"This is the basic idea of an intriguing book called Outliers, by the American journalist Malclom Gladwell.The book explores the factors which contribute to people who are extremely successful in their careers, for example, the role the family , culture and friend play.Gladwell examines the causes of why the majority of Canada ice hokey players are born in the first few months of the calender year,what the founder of Microsoft Bill Gates did to achieve his extraordinary success,and why the Beatles managed to redefine the whole of popular music in the 1960s.Gladwell points out that the youth hockey league in Canada recruits from January the first, so that players born early in the year are bigger,stronger and better athletes than others born later in the year.And because they have this advantage at the start of their sports career,they're given extra coaching,and so there's a greater chance that they'll be picked for an elite hockey team in the future.He calls this phenomenon accumulative advantage（积累优势）,a bit like the idea that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.Success depends on the process by which talented athletes are identified as much as it does on their own abilities.Another aspect which contributes to success is the 10000 hour rule.Great success demands an enormous amount of time for practise and training.For example,the Beatles performed live in Hamburg Germany more than 1200times over four years,much more than the 10000 hours Gladwell claim is necessary for great success.So by the time they returned to England,they had developed their talente and sounded completely different from any other group.In the same way,Bill Gates had thousands of hours' worth of programming because he had access to a computer at his high school.He also became a teenager just at the right time to take advantage of the latest developments in computer technology.Outliers has met with extraordinary sucess,matched only by Gladwell's own career for 25 years in journalism.As a result, many citics have seen it as an autobiography, in which the writer appears to be apologizing for his own personalachievements.But the ides that you have to be born at the right moment,in the right place and in the right family,and then you have to work really hard is a thought-provoking way of revisiting our traditional view of genius and great achievement.It's certainly worth reading,as long as you don't take it too seriously.Listening in 2P:Hi,we are talking about typical working hours in the US and in Brazil.Eric...um...you're from the States,tell me what are the typical working hours in the States?E:Er...traditionally people go to work at 9o'clock in the morning and they finish at about 5,so sort of a 9to 5.P:And,and Penny I...I know you're English but you work in Brazil,what are the hours in Brazil?Penny:Um varies slightly,sometimes you can start um on an early shift,say,8o'clock in the morning to 5 um or 9 until 6.But in Brazil often people will work longer hours than this.P:Right,right ok.And what kind of clothes do you wear?I mean do you dress up formally or in a relaxed way?E:It used to be that you would wear a jacket and tie to work for...for men but er nowadays an open shirt is ok.You don't necessarily have to wear a tie and sometimes on a Friday you can wear a pair of jeans to work.P:Oh,right the dress down Friday?E:The dress down Friday that's right.P:Does that still happen?E:Yes, yes sure it does.P:And how about in Brazil?Penny:Um, it's fairly casual,quite informal,um I mean you need to look neat and tidy obviously,but you,you have your own choice rely on what you would wear,there are no rules and regulations.It's important to look smart but comfortable.P:Right,yeah do you have meal breaks or is that...you just fit in meals when you can or...?E:Lunch,lunch is usually an hour sometimes a little shorter if you have to do a lot of work from your desk.P:Yeah,how about Brazil?Penny:That's the same, about an hour.P:And,and with overtime,I mean,if you...I mean you're obviously contracted to do a certain number of hours.What happens if you do more than the hours that you...that's in you...that are in your contract?E:I have to make a fairly um strict record of my hours so if I go beyond 5 o'clock on most days I put in for overtime.P:Right.E:And it's...the first hour is one of overtime and then there's I think 15minute periods after that.So I could work an hour and a quarter.P:And you'd be paid for the quarter hours?E:That's right,by the quarter hour.P:How about in Brazil?Penny:It's,it's a lot looser in Brazil actually.We we often end up doing overtime but unfortunately not paid.P: Fine.That's hard luck.And what about holidays,what about in the States?You don't have much holidays in the States do you?E:No.When you start at a company you get two weeks holiday or two weeks vacation as we say...P:YeahE:Um then it's usually not until you've been at the company for about five ears that they give you another week.So you get three weeks after you've been there for five years.P:And what about in Brazil?Penny:Um it's quite good actually-30days.P:Sounds very generous.Penny:Yeah I can pop back to...P:Is that 30 working days or 30 days in total?Penny:That's 30 working daysP:Wow,that'sPenny:Yes,yeah it's a good deal.P:What about retirement?I know it's a long way of there!When do you retire?E:Generally speaking it's at 65.P:And the same for women.E:Um it's I think a little sooner than that for women.Women I think 62or 63.P;Right ,good.And in Brazil is it similar?Penny:Similar to the States.It's um after 60 for women.65 for men,or if you've clocked up about 30 or 35 years of service then you can retire after that.P:Right and when...do you have a pay day?When is pay day?E:Um,well ,we gt paid twice a month,so we get paid at the beginning of the month and then we get paid in the middle of the month at the 15th give or take(大约).P:Yeah,and what about in Brazil?Penny:I think it all depends which company you're working for.For the one I am working for right now I get paid twice a month but when I began,with a different company that was once a month,so,it varies.P:And are there any company benefits that you have in the States?Do you have a company car or a pension?E:Yeah,we get a company car.We're able to...we lease a car in effect but it's a company car that we get for 18 months to two years and then we...we can move on to another model from that.There's a fairly good pension scheme,that's still working,and hospitalization as well.P:Oh,that's importantE:Yeah,a health plan through work is very important.P:Right.And what about in Brazil?Penny:Yeah,excellent benefits like that.Well I mean it does depend on the company and the status of your or your job but you might get a car,living accommodation,school for the children,they'll pay for your lunch,travel passes,gasoline,health insurance,all sorts of benefits actually it's very good.P:Sounds very good,with the holiday and all those benefits it sounds a great place to work.Unit 2Outside viewConversation 1Joe: OK, when you finished chatting, let's get down to work.Andy: OK, sure.Janet: Fine by me. What's on the agenda?Joe: First up today is Read all about it! Now, I assume everyone has read all the books for the future? Has anyone read any of the books?Andy: Well, Joe, there are over 20 new books coming out next month, so…Joe: I'm sorry, I really think that's quite unacceptable. It's your job! What about you, Janet?Janet: I'm sorry but this is the first time I've worked on Read all about it! And I didn't know I was meant to read all the books.Andy: Have you read them?Joe: No, but that's why you're my assistants. You're meant to assist me.Andy: It's true that we need to read the books, Joe, but we haven't…Joe: OK, there you go. You are always making excuses!Andy: And what's more, we haven't even chosen the books yet.Joe: OK, let's get down with it. What's on the list?Janet: I suppose we're looking for books with a London angle（伦敦视角）?Andy: Not necessarily.Janet: Is it OK to look for non-fiction too?Joe: Absolutely.Janet: OK, here's an idea. There's a new biography（自传）of Charles Dickens which I'm reading.Andy: Sounds good-his books are always on TV.Janet: You see I'm studying Dickens at university, and I noticed it in the bookshop last week. It's really interesting.Joe: OK, tell us more.Janet: Well, it's a description of the London locations where he set many of his books like Oliver Twist and David Copperfield.Andy: Sounds right up your street（拿手的）!Joe Well done, Janet. Maybe you can show Andy how to plan the feature. OK, that's it everyone. Let's get to it! Conversation 2Janet: What's the matter with Joe today?Andy: No idea. He's a bit like that sometimes. He gets annoyed with me, but I don't really know why.Janet: He wasn't being at all fair. How often does he get like this?Andy: Well, I suppose it's not very often. But sometimes he really gets on my nerves（使某人心烦意乱）.Janet: Don't let it get to you. He's probably got too much work, and he's stressed.Andy: Well, he should keep his problems away from the studio. Anyway, you're the expert on Dickens, tell me something about him.Janet: Well, Charles Dickens was one of the most popular novelists in 19th century Britain. Many of his novels first appeared in magazines, in short episodes. Each one had a cliffhanger at the end that made people want to read the next episode（集，一集）.Andy: And was he a Londoner?Janet: He was born in Portsmouth but his family moved to London when he was ten years old.Andy: And he set most of his stories in London, didn't he?Janet: That's right. He knew the city very well.Andy: Whereabouts in London are his stories set?Janet: Around the Law Courts in the centre of London. He worked as a court reporter and many of the real life stories he heard in court inspired some of most famous characters in his novels.Andy: I think some of his stories take place south of the river?Janet: That's right, especially around Docklands. The thing was…Dickens was a social commentator（社会评论员）as much as he was a novelist-his stories describe the hardship, the poverty, and crime which many Londoners experienced in the 19th century. It makes me want to read some Dickens again. Maybe I'll just go shopping for a copy of Great Expectations.Andy: Anyway, you did me a huge favour. That was a real brainwave（突然想到的妙计，灵感）to suggest the new biography. Janet: Cheer up Andy. It wasn't your fault.Andy: No, it's OK, I'll get over it. Go on, off you go and enjoy your shopping!Outside viewBritish people read a lot. They read books, newspapers and magazines. And of course they read text messages on their mobile phones. Sixty-five percent of British people list "reading for pleasure" as a major hobby. A quarter of the population reads more than 20 books each year. So where do these books come from? Well, there are bookshops where you can buy books. And there are lots of public libraries where you can borrow books for free. In this library you can borrow books, but you can also buy a cup of coffee, look at an art exhibition, sit in a quiet study area or connect to the Internet. You can also now borrow CDs, videos or DVDs of films and television programmes. Some libraries even let you borrow computer games. There are often reference rooms where you can go to look something up or go to study. Many libraries have also got special rooms with books and photograghs about the historu of the area. Libraries are veryimportant in schools and universities both for study and for reading for pleasure. The British Library is one of the world's greatest libraries. The queen opened its new building in 1998. It receives a copy of every book published in Britain, and adds three million new items every year. It's got books of course, but also sound recordings, music, maps, newspapers, and magazines. People predicted that radio, then television, then the Internet will kill reading, but it still a very popular activity.Listening in 1M：So how long has your book group been running?C：Well, let me see, it's over 20years now. I think it's actually one of the oldest books groups around, because it was only about 20years ago that they started to become fashionable in the UK.M：And how often do you have meetings?C：We meet about once every four or five weeks, although we try to avoid meetings in the summer holidays, and during the run-up to（前奏，预备期）Christmas when we all start to get busy with other things.M：And how many members do you have?C：We're ten in all, although it's rare that everyone can attend.M：And what happens during the meeting?C：Well, we usually meet at one of our homes, and we start fairly late, around 8:30, and the host prepares dinner, and sometime during the meal, someone asks "So what did you think of the book?" and that's when the discussion starts. M：It sounds quite informal.C：It is, yes, and sometimes if we haven't enjoyed the book, the meal becomes more important than the discussion. But it's fairly rare that no one likes the book, and it gets quire interesting when opinions about it are divided.M And what sort of books do you read?C：Oh, all kinds, actually, not just novels, although I must admit that being a member of the club makes me read more modern fiction than I might do otherwise. But we also read the classics, you know the novels we all read or should have read 30 years ago, and it's quite good fun to revisit them, to see if our views of the books have changed. We re-read Thomas Hardy recently, and whereas I used to love it when I was a student, this time I thought it was exasperatingly（惹人恼火地）dull. And we read non-fiction. quite a lot of history and travel writing. A couple of the members like poetry, which I don't, but you know, we're tolerant each other's choice, and it gives us a chance to try things we wouldn't usually read.M：And how do you choose the books?C：Well, at the end of the evening the person who hosts the dinner-basically, the cook- has the right to choose the next book.M：And that works OK?C：Yes, although there's quite a lot of stress on choosing something that will earn everyone else's respect. And we've got one member who likes science fiction, so we try not to go to his place too often!Listening in 2Well, thank you for your kind welcome, and for giving me the opportunity to give this brief tour of Literary England. I can't claim it's an authoritative tour, as I'm, not a professional literary specialist. However, I have two amateur passions: one is travel and the other is reading and English literature in particular. And this lecture is a description of different visits I have made to places in Britain and Ireland, chosen specifically for their close links with well-known writers of what we call the classics of English literature.Just to give you an overview of the lecture, I'm going to start in my home town of London, which is also the home of many well-known writers. But I think that the picture we have in our mind of London has been largely fashioned by the work of Charles Dickens and Shakespeare. Dickensian London is illustrated most clearly by his book Oliver Twist, and Shakespeare's London brings to mind the plays written and performed here, such as Romeo and Juliet. We'll also have a look at the memorial of freat British writers, Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey.Then off we go to Oxford, another city rich in its literary history. I'm, going to focus on the greatest of Oxford'sliterary alumni, JRR Tolkien, the professor of English who wrote Lord of the Rings, which is now famous throughout the world because of the recent series of films.Then we turn south towards the gentle countryside of Hampshire, home of Jane Austen, where her various novels, including Price and Prejudice are set. She also spent a period of her life in the magnificent Georgian city of Bath.Then we turn north to the hills of west Yorkshire where we find Bronte country, so called because it was the home of the three sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte. Perhaps the two best known novels are Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyer, and Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, also made into successful films.Then up to the north-west, to the stunning land of mountains and lakes which is the Lake District, home of the Lakeland poets. Perhaps its most famous son is William Wordsworth, whose poem "I wandered lonely as a cloud" has been learnt by generations of school children not just in Britain, but around the English-speaking world.So that's the basic route round Literary England, although I'll be thinking several detours to visit other famous writers whose work contributes to the glory which is English literature. Let's start…Unit3Outside viewLondon has always prided itself on being a little bit different when it comes to fashion. At the catwalk shows, designers showcase the hottest new trends for journalists and buyers from all over the world. But away from the glamour of designer collections, what do London girls actually wear? How do they create the affordable, personal style they are famous for? Hannah, who works for a fashion magazine, says London’s unique style is all about mixing and matching. One day can be punk. Next day you can be really girlie（少女般的）. It’s kind of choosing what you want in your wardrobe. Maybe taking an expensive piece but mixing it with something cheaper or second-hand. I think that is what London girls are really good at doing. Portobello Road, in the trendy Notting Hill area, is home to one of the most famous markets in London. Here, you name it and people wear it-anything from market stall bargains to to-die-for（令人渴望的）designer labels sold in trendy shops. But how do the capital’s women view their style? Eclectic. My style is certainly eclectic. It is from Tesco. It is the Catherine Kidston range from Tesco. Sam is matched her outfit today with a bag she bought in a supermarket. Angela is a fashion stylist. So tell me a little bit about your life. What are you wearing and what would you say your style is? My style tends to change week by week. T oday I am wearing some jeans from Uniqlo.I’ve discovered Uniqlo jeans and bought about five pairs cos they fit really well. The boots are by Aldo .My T-shirt is from Tooshop. The jacket is a really old jacket that I bought in the States a few years ago. But um, yeah I mean it just…it does tend to change a lot. Over to New Bond Street, London’s designer shopping Mecca（胜地）and the style stakes have gone up a little. Some of the most famous and expensive shops in the world can be found here. Shops where you have to ask the price of that handbag…or pair of shoes…then you know you can not really afford it. Natalie, a student from the city, says being laid back is what gives London style its edge. I don’t know. Everyone says like. French is like so fashionable and stuff but I think we are quite trendy, we are a bit more casual, but I think we have got a good style going on and everything, a bit laid back, but everyone still looks cool. Seylia works in a jewelry shop. No shabby chic（流行式样，时尚）here. Cashmere scarf from Louboutin, because it is cold. Black coat from Prada and a Valentino bag, which is probably as colorful as it gets. Katie is a model and loves how people dress in London because everyone has their own individual style. I love London it is so unique.And like everyone’s got their own fashion. I love it here, because you can wear whatever and just fit in, it is great. I love London for that. Laura is a student and says she doesn’t really put any thought into what she is wearing. Fashion, I wouldn’t really call it fashion. It is just kind of chucked together, basically, what I am comfortable in. Camden is known for its grungy（脏的，乱糟糟）, daring and sometimes outrageous（极不寻常的）styles. Here fashion is whatever you want it to be. Teenagers don’t hold back much when it comes to choosing clothes. They just want to make personal statement .We are just crazy! We don’t hold back so much. It’s not all about being elegant or something like that. It’s more making a statement, some people. And we don’t care.Listening inPresenter: How often do you change your clothes during the day?Penny: Um I think it all depends on what I’m going to do. Um it might be as many as three times if…。

4 Understand the procedure of making a good product description on Cross-
border E-commerce platforms
PART ONE
Burst sells are hot products, with high flow, high exposure, large orders and other characteristics. However, burst sells are not the source of profits for shops. Usually, the price of burst sells is low, and the direct impact is that the profit margins are small, even no profit margins. Thus, it is recommended that shops only set 1-2 burst sells per store. Create burst sells by reducing price, increasing discount rates, which will bring a lot of page views and orders in the short term for the shop, as well as promote the sale of other products.

Description of Commodities
Quality of Commodity
Quality terms are often hard to define, so great care needs to be taken to avoid any disputes2. In international transactions, there are different ways of showing quality. Sale by sample Samples can be offered either by the seller or the buyer, i.e., sale by seller’s sample or sale by buyer’s sample. There is another sample called “counter sample”. When the sample is offered by the buyer, the seller may not be very sure whether he could supply the goods in conformity with it. In order to make sure of this, he may first provide a sample produced according to the buyer’s original sample and send it to the buyer for confirmation3. This sample is a counter sample.

新视野商务英语视听说(第二版)第四单元听力原文[8页]LtDZHANGJIAN仅供个人学习，勿做商业用途Unit 4Task 2.2The Koreans aren’t concerned about how well planned a meeting is. They will not trust anything that doesn’t take years to build. For example, a strong relationship of 10 years is more important than a brand new office building or an impressive meeting. Trust is most important thing for them. They also seldom offer any opinions unless they are sure about what they want to say.Face is perhaps most important to the Japanese. For example, if you put pressure on a Japanese businessman at a meeting, he will respond with silence and your relationship is sure to be over even before the meeting finished. They will be more accepting of you if you learn to speak a littleJapanese and look comfortable with their customs.Whenever there seems to be a business problem, the British will try to improve the situation by saying something amusing, but sometimes others don’t find this humour funny at all.Whenever you disagree with the French, they will enjoy arguing with you in a very lively way. They will offer you a business opportunity more quickly than people from other cultures, but they will change their minds at the last moment, if they feel that you are not doing business in a satisfactory way.Part 3.1Conversation 1A: I really think we need to get some people together to discuss this problem. If we don’t, it’ll just get worse.B: I believe you’re right, Leon. Who are you thinking of including?A: The Accountant, our Purchasing Manager, Tony, and of course you and me.B: All right, then. What are you going to tell them beforehand?A: I’ll give them this news report and the letter describing our problem. Do you think that’s OK?B: Yes, that’s fine. Let me know when and where.Conversation 2B: Good afternoon! I appreciate you all being here for this important meeting. Leon has asked you to join us to talk about the problem. You’ve all read the news report and the letter, so let’s get on with the discussion and try to solve the problem before it gets worse. Leon, could you start?Conversation 3A: Let’s see, we’ll begin with my boss opening the meeting. He can remind everyone about the report and letter.Then we should have the Accountant report on the cheques that have been written. Following that, we’ll ask the Purchasing Manager to review the purchasing procedure. I’m sure my boss and Tony will have some questions then, so next we’ll have questions. Then, we can go on to a discussion. Finally, hopefully, we’ll make a decision and close the meeting. There, that should do it!Conversation 4A: Hello! Why don’t you sit here? Would you like a cup of coffee or tea?C: Thanks! Coffee, please.A: Good afternoon, Tony. Here’s a seat for you.B: Is everyone here yet?A: No, not quite. The accountant has still to come. Boss, here’s your coffee.B: Thanks. I want to get started on time. A: Yes, I know. I’m sure we wil l.Conversation 5D: Hello! Accountant’s Office.A: Hello! This is Leon. Our boss wants to call a meeting to discuss a particular problem. Can you make it tomorrow afternoon?D: Tomorrow afternoon? What time?A: He’d like to begin at 2:30, i n the conference room.D: Yes. I think I can make it. I have a lunch meeting, but I’ll hurry back in time for the meeting.A: Good. I’ll bring the information to your office in a little while.D: Oh! OK. Thanks.Conversation 6B: So, from our discussion this afternoon, it sounds like what we need to do is to stop the payment on this cheque, and contact our lawyer. Is that the decision you all think we should make?C: I’ll begin looking for new supp liers. That seems to be important, as wall.B: Yes, it is. We must do that.D: I’ll call the bank immediately and stop payment.B: And, Tony, we’ll follow your advice and turn the rest over to our lawyer. That seems to be the best way to handle this –for all of us.Part3.2(G: George; M: Mary)M: George, could you help me plan this meeting? I don’t have much experience planning meetings and you’ve been with the company for a long time. So…G: When is this meeting, Mary?M: Well, it’s this Friday.G: Friday, hmm. What kind of meeting is it going to be?M: We’re going to have a meeting with some new clients and try to get them to buy our new line of sportswear.G: Well, that sounds easy. The first thing weneed to do is to create an agenda for the meeting and then give copies of it to everyone who is going to be attending.M: No problem, I have a list of all the people right here. The boss says that he wants the people from the sales department and the design department to give a short presentation.G: OK, but we should let them know as soon as possible. Ask them how long they will need for their presentations. Also, we should ask them if they are going to need anything special for the meeting, like a projector. I remember one time I forgot to ask about this and it was really embarrassing to be unprepared. Which meeting room are you going to use?M: Er, I think we should use 401; it’s the most comfortable room.G: Good idea. Is the boss going to make a presentation, too?M: Yes, he wants to tell the clients about the history of our company.G: OK, let’s write the agenda. It’s this Friday, the 1st of December. What time does the meeting start?M: 10:00 am, and it should be finished by noon because the boss is going to take them out for lunch afterwards.G: No problem, that should be more enough time. The first thing on the agenda should be to introduce everyone to each other. Then the boss gives them the information about our company. He usually takes about 10 minutes to do that.M: I think we should let the design people talk before the sales people, so that they can explain the products first.G: That’s a good idea. The customers need to know what they are going to buy first. After the presentations we should allow time for a discussion, in case the clientshave any question s. If they don’t and the meeting is over more quickly than expected, you could give the clients a tour of the office. I think that would really impress the boss.M: Hey, this agenda looks good. I’ll go make copies for everyone.G: OK, don’t forget to make some extra copies to give the new clients and anyone else who for gets to bring theirs. Oh, one last thing, don’t forget to dress up for the meeting.M: I know. Thanks for all of your help.Part 4 video 1Gregory: Do you know why we are here? Richard: No. I have no idea. He just popped in and told me there would be a meeting at 3.Amy: I’m afraid it’s about cuts. I saw him this morning and he’s not happy.Chairperson: Bad news! I guess you’ve all seen last month’s sales figure for thelaptop X600.A: No, actually I haven’t.R: Me, neither.C: Oh, well, there’s a twenty-one percent drop from July.G Twenty-one percent? That’s a disaster! A: I suppose yo u’re going to blame my sales team.C: No. Amy. We are not going to blame anyone. Not today. We need to decide what we are going to do about it.R: Wait. Before we go on, can we have a look at these poor figures?C: Sorry, I’m not sure if I have… Ah, yes, I’ve got a few copies here. As you can see…A: Larry, I want you to know that it’s not my fault! My people have been working really hard to promote sales.C: Yes, yes, I know. But the fact is that the results are not good.R: Maybe we can change…A: You should trust your team! There are always ups and downs in sales!C: Look, Amy. I do have confidence in my team! I have called this meeting to see what my team suggests we do! So shall we get on with it? I suppose we can start by finding out why we are having these poor results. Gregory, would you please give us an analysis of these figures?G: Er… Sorry, I don’t have anything prepared since I didn’t know…C: Oh, well…Part 6 Video 2Chairperson: I’m sorry to have called this meeting at such short notice. Did you all get a copy of the sales figures?Participants: Yes.C: Good. So you have seen from you memo the purpose of this meeting. Firstly, we need to figure out the reason for thedrop, and secondly, what we should do about it. It might not be easy, but I want to finish the meeting by 3:00.Participants: OK. Uh-huh.C: Now, Amy, what do you think?Amy: Well, the re’s a lot more competition out there now.C: That’s true, but our prices are competitive.Richard: In my opinion, the salespeople are not very motivated. We need to do something to encourage them to get out there and sell.A: I think they’re working pretty hard already.C: Bur it’s not hard enough, Amy! They need something to give them a bit of a push.What about the bonus system? How many salespeople get bonuses now?A: Not many.C: Really? Why not?A: The sales quotas are pretty high. You have to make $60,000 in sales. That’s a lot. Most people average about $45,000.Gregory: Per month?A: Yes.R: Well, maybe we should lower our quotas. C: How’s that going to motivate them, Richard?R: If we lower the quotas, it will be easier for the salespeople to reach them. So more people will get…A: I don’t see the point. How’s that going to increase sales?C: Let him finish.R: Well, I think the quotas are just too high.Th e salespeople don’t think they can reach them so they don’t try. But, if someone is making, say, $45,000, and if the target is $50,000, then they’ll work just a little bit harder to reach $50,000.G: I see what you mean. And if they get ani ce bonus at $50,000 then they’ll work even harder the next month.C: Yes. You’ve got a good point! Let’s come up with a proposal for lower quotas.版权申明本文局部内容，包括文字、图片、以及设计等在网上搜集整理。

大学英语视听说2Unit4听力原文
Unit4Lead-in1.Both sides spend piles of money to produce cool ads, but in fact they will only cancel out each other's effort.Neither side will gain. Eventually, the large sums spent on advertising will be passed on to consumers. Sounds bad, doesn't it? But we have no alternative. If we allow ads for one product but forbid ads for another, this means unfair competition. As a result, one product will turn out to be successful, while the other is sure to havea poor market. Should we ban ads altogether? This seems fair to all manufacturers. But consumers will nothave enough information about products to make a choice. Worse still, they may not even know a new product has been turned out, let alone buy it. Perhaps we had better accept ads, but we can impose restrictions on them to protect consumers' interests. For example, an ad should not include an untruthful statement or exaggeration.Also, advertisers should not claim that their products are superior to others. Restrictions like these may partly compensate for the shortcomings of advertisements.2.It is certainly necessary for us to look at ads, for they provide valuable information on the function, quality andprice of a product. However, we should beware of ads that do not tell the truth. Comparing ads for similar products, we may become better informed and judge them more accurately. In addition to advertisements, we can depend on other consumers for information. A consumer has no personal interest in a product and therefore is likely to be more objective than the advertiser. Finally, our common sense can play a role in our choice of a commodity. To summarize, we can turn to various sources for help before we decide on an advertised product.3.Advertisements have negative social effects as well as economic effects. First, the posters and billboards canblock scenic views and ruin the environment. Second, people who cannot afford the advertised product may develop a sense of inferiority. Third, as often as not, ads encourage unnecessary buying. Fourth, ads usually portray young and beautiful people. Thus older, plain-looking people may feel as if they do not belong to the contemporary world. If you think carefully, you may find more disadvantages to advertising.4.On the whole, I do not think it is a good idea to imitate a movie star's clothes. Students should focus on theirstudies. In the case of students from disadvantaged families, they have no reason to add to the financial burden on their parents. A fashionable dress costs too much for their parents. If a student has done his work well and has plenty of money, then I have no objection to his wearing a film star's fashionable clothes. Wearing such clothes, some people may feel content and then concentrate on more useful pursuits.Listening InThe Influence of AdvertisingRichard: Dad, I need a pair of new shoes for an important basketball game. My old ones look kind of funny. Father: Funny! We just bought those last spring. There's a lot of life left in them.Richard: But look at this ad with Yao Ming. He says these shoes give him extra spring.Father: Yao Ming is so tall that he doesn't need extra spring. Anyway, he makes more money than I do. And they probably give him millions of dollars to wear those shoes.Richard: But if you bought me the shoes, I'd wear them for nothing. And I'd have that extra spring. Father: Do you think Yao Ming reached the top just because of the shoes he wears? Or was it something else? Richard: You mean like hard work, dedication, that sort of thing?Father: Exactly. Just focus on your studies and forget the shoes.I'll get a camera.One day just before closing time, John rushed into a TV store to buy a color TV set with the money he had savedfor three months. The friendly shop assistant was waiting for the day's last and 100th customer to reach his sales target for his bonus, so he warmly greeted John and showed him the various models on display. He asked John to see how sharp and colorful the image on the screen was. At that moment, a new commercial came onto the screen, introducing a popular brand of camera as well as some beautiful pictures it had taken. The camera and the pictures attracted John. He suddenly changed his mind and told the shop assistant: "Thank you for the TV commercial. Now I have to hurry to the camera store to get that camera."Don't even think about it!"Don't even think about it!" is a phrase commonly used in the United States when a person emphatically denies or refuses something.In 1995, Shaquille O'Neal, a popular basketball player, made a Pepsi commercial in which this phrase was used. The commercial begins with Shaq playing basketball, and a little kid is watching him. Then the boy cries out the name of this basketball star. Shaq turns to see the kid with a Pepsi in his hand. He walks over to the boy and says "Hey, can I have it?" He bends over, supposing that his admirer will give him the Pepsi. But then the kid says, "Don't even think about it!" This commercial was rather popular, and it had been shown on TV for about three years.The commercial seems to have a more dramatic effect than that produced by the Coca-Cola company in the 1970s. In the Coke ad a young boy meets football star "Mean" Joe Green as he is leaving the field after a game. The boy gives his hero a bottle of Coke, and in exchange for the drink, the football player throws his towel to the boy, who excitedly catches the souvenir.The phrase "Don't even think about it!" is used on many other occasions. Visitors to New York City are often amused to see a road sign with these words: "Don't even think about parking here." This road sign means that people are strictly prohibited from parking there.Ⅴ.Let’s talkJob Ad for a Friendly EmployeeA firm advertising for a "friendly" employee has been asked to change its wording because it discriminates against unfriendly people.Travelco, a travel agency, put in a request for a "friendly employee" to provide food for its staff. But the Job Center in Bristol told managing director Harry Smith that he would have to remove the word "friendly" before the advertisement could be accepted.Mr. Smith said he could not believe the decision and thought it was "ridiculous". He said: "We were told we could not use that particular word because it was discriminatory against people who looked unfriendly. We thought it was ridiculous. It's only too natural for us to specify what kind of people we want." He added, "The people at the center have since said they thought they had been a little over the top."The center had made it a rule that certain words were not allowed in ads and the words "motivated" and "enthusiastic" had been banned in the past.An official of the center said: "We do have guidelines of not using personality characteristics in advertisements to ensure that there is no discrimination in the process."She added: "We should leave the dispute to the local judges. They'll make the final decision. It's possible that a member of our staff has been over-enthusiastic in cutting out words in ads."Ⅵ.Further Listening and SpeakingTask1:Banning Cigarette AdsNancy: Hey, Robert, what do you think about cigarette ads?Robert: They're disgusting. Many countries have banned tobacco ads completely.Nancy: I heard in the States advertisers are not allowed to show young people smoking cigarettes, neither are ads targeted at youth allowed.Robert: But advertisers keep finding ways around the law. Some years ago one cigarette ad showed a deer smoking, but it was dressed in a university sweater. Obviously the ad is trying to attract young people. Nancy: In order to increase sales, they have to make smoking appealing to young people. Make them think it's cool.Robert: Right. Cigarette manufacturers need to keep bringing in new customers. The old ones are dying of lung cancer.Nancy: Good point. Our Student Union should do some publicity against smoking on campus.Robert: I couldn't agree more.Task2:A Radio CommercialAre you looking for appliances or furniture to give new life to your home?Look no further! Here at Frontier Furniture, we have everything you need to give your home a new look and feel.Stereos, video machines, refrigerators, dining tables, washers and dryers. You name it; we have it!

So, come on in, and let us make your dream home a reality.Task3:An Introduction to AdvertisingAdvertising has become increasingly specialized in modern times. In today's business world, supply usually outnumbers demand. There is great competition among different manufacturers of the same kind of product to attract customers to their product. They always have to remind the consumer of the name and the qualities of their product. They do this by advertising. The manufacturers advertise in the newspapers and on posters. They sometimes pay for songs about their products in commercial radio programs. They employ attractive salesgirls to distribute samples. They organize competitions, with prizes for the winners. They often advertise on the screens of local cinemas. Most important of all, in countries that have television, they have advertisements put into programs that will accept them. Manufacturers often spend large sums of money on advertisements. Sometimes they even spend more on ads than on the products themselves. We buy a particular product because we think it is the best. We usually think so because of the advertisements that say so. Some people never pause to ask themselves if the advertisements are telling the truth.。
