For example, a company could add features to an existing product to make it more attractive to customers.The article also notes that innovation is not something that can be achieved by a single department.

Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Passage One.Questions 16 to 18 will be based on the following passage.Many people think that the more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes. However, the connection between time and productivity is not always positive. In fact, many studies show that after a certain point, employees become less productive as the number of hours they work increases.There are several reasons for this. First, when people work long hours, they tend to get tired. This makes it difficult for them to concentrate and perform at their best. Second, long hours can also lead to stress. Stress can have a negative impact on both physical and mental health, which in turn can affect productivity.Some companies have started to recognize this problem and are taking steps to address it. For example, they are implementing flexible work schedules. This allows employees to have more control over their work hours and can help them to be more productive.16. What is the common belief about work and productivity?A) The more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes.B) Productivity has nothing to do with the amount of work time.C) Working less hours can lead to higher productivity.D) Employees are most productive when they work for long hours.17.

What are some companies doing to address the problem?A) They are giving employees more training.B) They are increasing employees' salaries.C) They are implementing flexible work schedules.D) They are reducing the amount of work.Passage Two.Questions 19 to 21 will be based on the following passage.The Internet has changed the way we communicate, learn and do business. One area where the Internet has had a particularly significant impact is in education.Online courses are becoming more and more popular. There are many reasons for this. For one thing, online courses are very convenient. Students can study at their own pace and at a time that suits them. They can also access course materials from anywhere in the world.Another advantage of online courses is that they are often less expensive than traditional courses. This makes them more accessible to a wider range of students.However, online courses also have some disadvantages. One problem is that students may feel isolated. They may not have the same opportunities to interact with their classmates and instructors as they would in a traditional classroom setting. Another issue is that some online courses may not be of the same quality as traditional courses.19. What has the Internet changed?A) The way we communicate, learn and do business.B) Only the way we communicate.C) Only the way we do business.D) Only the way we learn.20.

What are the disadvantages of online courses?A) They are too expensive.B) They are not convenient.C) Students may feel isolated and some may be of lower quality.D) They are only available in a few areas.Passage Three.Questions 22 to 25 will be based on the following passage.A new study shows that we keep using our old devices long after they've become obsolete. The study surveyed over 2,000 people in the United States. It found that on average, people keep their old smartphones for 2.5 years after they stop receiving software updates.People also keep their old laptops for an average of 3.5 years after they become obsolete. And they keep their old tablets for about 2 years after they are no longer supported.There are several reasons why people keep using these old devices. One reason is cost. Buying a new device can be expensive. Another reason isthat people may be attached to their old devices. They may have a lot of data and memories stored on them.However, using old devices can also have some risks. For example, old devices may not be secure. They may be more vulnerable to hacking and malware attacks.22. What does the new study find?A) People buy new devices very frequently.B) People keep using old devices long after they're obsolete.C) People don't care about software updates.D) People prefer old devices to new ones.23. How long do people keep their old smartphones on average?A) 1.5 years.B) 2 years.C) 2.5 years.D) 3 years.24. Why do people keep using old devices?A) Because they are very secure.B) Because they are new.C) Because of cost and attachment.D) Because they are easy to use.25. What are the risks of using old devices?A) They may be too expensive.B) They may be difficult to use.C) They may not be secure.D) They may not have enough storage.。

Development of WebsitesQuestion s 27 to 30 ar e based on the following passage.Business is often seen as the ―bad guy‖ in environmental matter becau se people feel that businesses will do anything to make a prof it. Unfortunately, this is to often the case.Many business people, in fact, believe that they can’t make a prof it and be kind to the environment at the same time. However, it does not necessarily h ave to b e this way. Using co mmon bu siness str ategi es, co mpa ni es h ave fou nd ways to b ecome environmentally friendly or ―green‖and increase their pro f its at the same time.One such str ategy th at businesses u se is known as ―product differen tiation‖. This ter m means th at a comp any advertised the fa ct that its products are differ ent from other, similar products. A number of environmentally friendly companies hav e done this successfully. For example, in marketing th eir products, organic（有机的）food companies emph asize th e organic asp ect. Th at is, they highlight the fac t that no chemicals h ave been used to grow th e food, and so it is better for consumers’ h ealth and for the environment.Another ―green‖ business strategy that h as been successful is waste reduction. Many companies h ave consider ed waste an pollution as a necessary part of the production process. They have done little to prevent either waste or pollution, unless there were laws that forced them to. However, other co mpani es h ave realized th at ther e ar e def inite adv antages to r educing waste and pollution. Less waste and les s pollution mean s a more eff icient production process.

Some mistakes we mak e ar e about mon ey. But most mistakes are about people. ―Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?‖ ―When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?‖ ―And Paul-why didn’t pick up that he was friendly just becau se 1 h ad a car?‖ When we look back, doubts like these can make u s feel bad. But wh en we look back, It’s too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends –or our enemies? So meti mes wh at people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someon e tells you, ―You’re a lucky dog .‖ that’s being friendly. But ―lucky dog‖? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the ―dog‖ bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that the doesn’t think you deserve your luck.―Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for ‖ is another noise that says o ne thing and means anoth er. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wr apped up in this phrase is the thought th at your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of a all the starving people in the world when you hav en’t got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words f it the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture (姿态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of wh at people to you may sav e another mistak e.31. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that ______ .A.even friends are annoyed wh en we check wh at they sayB.People usu ally state one thing but mean s anoth erC.We fail to listen car efully wh en they talkD.We tend to doubt what our friends say32. ―You’re a lucky dog‖ probably conveys the meaning tha t __________.A.you’re a friendly personB.you’re envious of othersC.you do not deserve the luckD.you should thank others for your luck33.In the sentenc e ―Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.‖(Para. 2), ―it‖ refers to __________.A. being friendlyB. a bit of envyC. lucky dogD. your luck34. According to the last paragr aph, wh at can you do to save anoth er mistake?A. Spend time thinking about wh at people talking.B. Take a good look at the person talkingC. Focus on the look in the speaker’s ey esD. Try to catch every word of the speaker35. This passag e is mainly about __________.A.why we misunder stand what peopl e sayB.how to behave when we listen to othersC.why we so meti mes go wrong with our friends or enemiesD.how to avoid mistak es wh en we communicate with peoplePart III ClozeDirections: Ther e is a passag e followed with 10 blanks.

Career Development: how to fill a key vacancyWhen it comes to filling a key vacancy, a company will usually follow the same standard procedure. (开题)It will begin by producing an accurate job description of what it would like the successful candidate to do. （要点1，关键词job description）From this, it can then produce a profile of this ideal candidate, which is a list of skills, experience, attributes and so on. （发展1，解释）Having produced this profile, the company must then decide on the best recruitment method to capture a candidate with this profile. （要点2，关键词recruitment method）This might be an internal advertisement or an external advertisement in a newspaper, on the Internet say, even an agency or perhaps a headhunter. （发展2，例子）Having decided on the best recruitment method, the advertisements are then placed or the headhunter contacted and a list of candidates will be then drawn up to be put through t he company‟s recruitment processes. （要点3，关键词recruitment processes）This might be interviews, psychometric tests or even hand-writing analysis. （发展3，例子）This will then produce the ideal candidate for the company.The company will then have to negotiate terms with this candidate （要点4，关键词negotiate terms）and, hopefully, this will result in terms which are both affordable for the company and attractive enough to get the candidate they want. （发展4，解释）Even though different companies vary somewhat in their efforts to fill open posts, the steps mentioned above are very much the norm rather than the exception in any industry. （结论）B. III-11. Recruitment: the importance of having a good CVWell, in my opinion, you should never underestimate the importance of having a good CV. (开题)To begin with, in the majority of cases, your CV is the employer‟s first impression of you. （要点1，关键词first impression）Your first chance to impress your potential employer, let‟s say. （发展1，解释）As you should remember to your advantage, yo u‟ve got only 30 seconds to leave a positive impression on someone, whether he is a customer or a potential employer. （发展1，解释）But more than that, your CV also showcases your essential skills in order to compete in today‟s job market. （要点2，关键词skills）In other words, it provides an illustration of your skills to organize, summarize, prioritize and present information effectively, say, as well as your linguistic and communicative abilities. （发展2，解释）But above all, a CV, by its very nature, also indicates how your qualification and experience match your employer‟s requirements. （要点3，关键词qualification and experience）In this way, your prospective boss will be able to reach a sound decision on your suitability for the position. （发展3，解释）Even though employers these days use a variety of selection techniques, such as analyzing your handwriting or psychometric tests, a good CV is still the single most important part of any application. （结论）C. II-13. What is important when choosing a new supplier? Prices and discounts, ReputationWell, when it comes to choosing a new supplier, several vital factors must be taken into account.To begin with, I think we must consider the price of goods first. We can compare the prices offered by different suppliers and choose the one which is more reasonable. Because only if we get the supply at lower price can we make profits. Of course, it would be even better if the supplier can offer discounts to regular clients.Another point we should also consider is the location of the su pplier. We‟d better choose one who is not too far away from us. If the supplier is too far away, that will most likely increase the cost of transportation.Besides, it‟s also very important to consider whether the supplier is reliable. We would never choo se those who always deliver their goods late or those who can‟t ensure the quality of goods. Because late delivery may bring heavy loss to us, and quality is the lifeline of any business. Otherwise we may lose our own clients. So in this aspect, we must not make any concessions, and lower prices cannot be a valid mitigating factor.While there are also other considerations in choosing a supplier, such as reputation, means of payment, after-sales service, I believe the factors mentioned above are the most indispensable ones.D. II-36. What is important when choosing business premises to rent? Location, Length of contractWell, as we all know, many factors must be considered when choosing business premises to rent, the questions is of course – which ones?From my point of view, we should first take the location into consideration. Some companies choose to locate in office blocks downtown; some would like to be near the largest concentrations of their target customers. It depends largely upon the type of the company in question. Companies that provide services must be located within easy access. So they usually choose those places where there is convenient transportation.Another important facet to consider is the size of the premises. Nowadays, more and more large companies prefer an open, spacious working floor which allows colleagues to communicate and interact freely. Of course, a small company would not rent the whole floor. That will be a waste of space and an unnecessary cost burden.Last but not least, the length of contract should not be neglected. A fixed-term contract islegally binding and can only serve to make your situation worse in times of recession. Whenever possible, flexible contract arrangement should be preferred.While there are also other considerations in choosing business premises, such as rent and facilities, I believe the factors mentioned above are the most indispensable ones.E. III-7. Career Development: The importance of acquiring a range of skills throughout your careerWell, as is known to all, it is very important for a person to acquire a range of skills in the course of his career. The question is of course – why?When he has a range of skills, first of all, he is obviously more competitive than those who don‟t and therefore has better chances of surviving a downturn. To put it another way, companies are likely to retain highly skilled staff members even when mass layoff is inevitable.And that‟s not the only benefit. A person with a range of skills is more likely t o work his way to the top of the corporate ladder. In most companies, whether or not you have the appropriate skills is a relevant criterion for promotion.On the other hand, it will also be easier for a skilled employee to find a job outside his own company if he is not satisfied with his present job. In this way, acquiring a variety of skills in one‟s career offers more professional mobility.So, when all the benefits are taken into account, no wonder acquisition of skills is taken so seriously nowadays.F. III-8. Career Planning: how to assess the career opportunities provided by different types of companiesWell, when it comes to assessing different career opportunities, several vital factors must be taken into account.First of all, the type of company should be taken into consideration. Different types of firms have their own benefits and challenges. In a multinational company., say, you can learn international business management and culture, and as an icing on the cake, you may have more opportunities to travel abroad. However, English is the working language in multinationals. You have to be very good at English to work there. So state-owned companies may better suit some people.Salary should be another important consideration. As everyone knows, multinational companies usually offer higher salaries. But if you have just graduated from college, you shouldn‟t be too concerned about that. As a new hand, it‟s more important to gain more experience through working rather than earn quick money.After salary, we should not ignore other financial rewards in the form of fringe benefits. Some companies offer housing allowance, car allowance, children‟s education allowance in addition to salaries. Still others provide staff with free health club and cafeteria. And high tech firms often supplement salaries with stock options.Although there are also other considerations in assessing different careeropportunities, such as training, location, and good colleagues, I believe the factors mentioned above are the most indispensable ones.G. III-31. Human Resources: how to select the right staff for promotionWell, as is known to all, it is very important to select the right staff for promotion. The question is of course – how?For one thing, qualification definitely counts a great deal. A good qualification, especially an advanced degree, normally indicates high aptitude and a wide range of knowledge and skills. Even though we often hear clichés like …But degrees don‟t mean everything‟, in the real world, qualification actually means a lot.That said, there ARE certain skills and knowledge, or what we call flair, that come only from long-time hands-on experience. So it is only natural that the next thing to consider should be experience. Only by accumulating enough experience can an employee be totally at ease with his duties. Besides, experience can also tell us about his performance, track record, and leadership potential.Well, last but not least, personality should also be a factor in any staffing decision. Different positions require different personal qualities. The highest virtues for an engineer engaged in R & D, for instance, would be meticulousness and creativity. Yet for a sales manager, being energetic and outgoing is much more important because sales managers have to leave a good first impression upon their clients. But for any position, hard-working people are always welcome.So to recap, qualification, experience and personality are the three promotion criteria that we all need to keep in mind.H. III-62. Product Promotion: how to promote an imported brandWith so many people these days making a conscious decision to buy domestic products, the pressure on those companies wishing to promote imported brands is greater than ever before.Initially, a company needs to show how their product is superior to the local equivalents. Maybe it‟s better quality; maybe it‟s more stylish; maybe it‟s better image. Anyway, a company needs to show customers the benefits of being more adventurous in their buying decisions, in order to encourage them to move away from the home brands they currently use.Well, beyond that, if you market a product as something exotic or unusual, say, you‟re bound to attract new clients. As you may also have expe rienced, most people have a strong craving for things novel and unfamiliar. Of course, when the sense of curiosity wears off, such a strategy will usually fall short of expectations.Last but not least, cultural stereotypes are also a powerful selling tool. A cosmetics range associated with French chic, for example, is sure to attract customers. And if people are looking to buy a reliable car, there‟s no better label than …made inGermany‟. These national associations can also be exploited at the point o f sale. Playing French music in supermarkets, for example, is proven to improve the sales of French wine.All in all, if you want to successfully promote an imported brand, you need to give your customers a good reason to try something a little bit more exciting than their own home brands.I. III-70. Advertising: the importance of stereotypes in advertisingWell, I‟m very much convinced that you should never underestimate the importance of stereotypes in advertising.First of all, a stereotype is something enduring and easily identifiable to a whole national group. When an Asian audience see Eiffel Tower in an ad, they instantly conjure up the romantic image of Paris at night. And with that in mind, any product associated with French chic, say, cosmetics, perfume, and fashion, will become an easy sell. As another example, the German Audi designers in white lab coats are obviously obsessed with perfection. And so we can guarantee that any product we buy from them is going to be designed to perfection the moment we see this ad.What‟s more, stereotypes can make us feel good about our own value systems or customs. An ad targeted at a British audience might pit a refined Londoner against a brash New Yorker and that‟ll give the impression that the product we‟r e selling is obviously full of taste and discretion. And in this way, stereotypes reinforce the positive qualities in the minds of the viewers.And lastly, stereotypes make good comedy because everybody wants to laugh at other countries and people who are different. A fictitious aboriginal tribe once served as the backdrop for a celebrated cell phone ad. The contrast between the modern and the primitive kept the audience in stitches. And of course, if they‟ve had a laugh, they‟re more likely to remember the advert.So to sum up, stereotypes are useful to advertisers because they‟re basically a shorthand. You‟ve got thirty seconds to get your main selling point across. And with a stereotype you can do that in two.J. III-84. Marketing: the importance of packaging products appropriately In recent years, numerous factors have made packaging an important marketing tool.Increased competition and clutter on retail store shelves means that packages now must perform many sales tasks -- from attracting attention, to describing the product, to making the sale. Among these, the first one is undoubtedly the most crucial function. Companies are realizing the power of good packaging to create instant consumer recognition of the company or brand. Nowadays, in an average supermarket, which stocks 15,000 to 17,000 items, the typical shopper passes by some 300 items per minute, and 53 percent of all purchases are made on impulse. In this highly competitive environment, the package may be the seller‟s last chance to influence buyers. It becomes a “five-second commercial”. The renowned Campbell Soup Company, say, estimates that the average shopper sees its familiar red and white can 76 times a year, creating the equivalent of$26 million worth of advertising. However, everyone‟s favorite success story on packaging involves the ubiquitous red Coke can. Marketers everywhere have emulated but rarely equaled the marketing power of its simple design. More recently, the picture of a smiling Tiger Woods, the golf guru, appears on the boxes of a certain brand of cereals, apparently to convey an image of fitness, energy, and vitality. The effort has not been wasted – its sales tripled in one year.In brief, while good packaging can serve many practical purposes, it is with its utility in effective product promotion that marketers are primarily concerned.K. III-87. Customer Relations: how to maintain customer interest in a company’s products Well, as is known to all, it is very important for a company to maintain customer interest in their products. The question is of course – how?I think there are several ways to do that. For one thing, we should always make sure that we provide our customers with quality goods and quality after-sales service, as these two aspects are indisputably the lifeline of any business. Continuous new product development and innovation in service are also necessary in reinforcing and expanding customer base.Apart from that, enough emphasis should be laid on the feedback from our customers. If necessary, prompt action should be taken to take care of their needs and demands.Finally, if possible we should provide some incentives to repeat customers. For example, we can grant a certain rebate to them if their purchases reach a certain amount. And offering coupons and free delivery to customers are also effective and feasible methods.All in all, we should try our utmost to keep our customers satisfied and fulfill their expectations. Only by doing so can we maintain clients‟ interest in our products.L. III-113. Production Development: the importance of R & D to a company To illustrate the importance of research and development to some firms, the level of annual investment in research and development by the top ten listed corporations in the States can serve as a telling indicator: each of these firms typically spends more than $1 billion on research and development per year. The question is, why?First of all, firms invest funds in research and development primarily in order to design new products. F or instance, Procter and Gamble‟s R & D resulted in its two-in-one shampoo and conditioner technology. This new technology has been used in its famous Pantene, Head & Shoulders products, which now enjoy a significant market share in various countries.On the other hand, companies also use R & D to improve the products they already produce. Again, Procter and Gamble has improved the technology of Tide detergent more than seventy times. And not surprisingly, Tide is now the leading detergent in North America.What‟s more, R & D can allow one firm a huge competitive advantage and therefore improve revenue streams dramatically. For example, Pfizer, one of the pharmaceutical titans, has successfully obtained patents for such best selling drugs as Benadryl, Listerine and Viagra. In other words, Pfizer now has the monopoly in these lucrative drugs. This …license to print money‟ comes directly from Pfizer‟s R & D activities.In short, firms that spend money on R & D have found to their delight that the benefits almost always exceed the expenses.M. III-130. Health and Safety: the importance of a safe working environment for maintaining staff moraleFirms that create a safe working environment not only prevent injuries but improve the morale of their employees as well. I feel strongly that this is something indispensable for any company.First of all, a safe working environment offers peace of mind to staff members and therefore can significantly motivate staff to enhance a firm‟s productivity. As a result, m any leading firms, such as Intel and GE, now identify workplace safety as one of their main goals. Not surprisingly, these are some of the best performing firms anywhere in the world.What‟s more, a safe environment can reduce the occurrence of workplace a ccidents, which are usually a source of staff dissatisfaction and low trust in the management. Taking safety measures can enhance staff loyalty and, in turn, moral. For instance, Levi Strauss and Co. imposes safety guidelines not only in its US facilities but also in Asian factories where some of its clothes are made. Starbucks, meanwhile, has developed a code of conduct in an attempt to improve the quality of life in coffee-producing countries, in an effort to buck against sweatshop-like working conditions. These two companies have been rated highly by their employees.In short, if you want to boost morale among your staff, or to put it in plain words, if you want to see enthusiasm, confidence, or loyalty in your workforce, then safety should have your prior attention.N. III-137. International Business: the importance of a global presence for a company With more mergers and acquisitions than ever before, I think it‟s becoming quite clear that a company in the future will need to have a global presence in order to compete in tomorrow‟s market place. This presence can give a company many competitive advantages.To begin with, say, it can give access to local market knowledge, which can help avoid some very, very expensive mistakes on account of cultural conflicts. The Matsushita Firm of Japan learned this at a price, when they, without knowing the negative connotations of the word in the US, first launched their products under the brand name of “National‟. Only when they switched to …Panasonic‟ did the fla t sale become brisk.On top of that, a global presence can spread the risk of doing business. As the saying goes: Don‟t put all your eggs in one basket. If a company sells to more than one market, it can survive a downturn in any one of those markets, tha t‟s something for sure.And if a company becomes truly global, the size of the company means it can realize economies of scale, say, in advertising or distribution or shipping. It can also move its production from country to country and take advantage of the best conditions at any given time.So I think, all in all, when these things are taken into consideration, it‟s quite clear that any company not looking to establish a global presence in the future may not have a future at all.O. III-138. Business Ethics: how to encourage ethical behaviour from employees Figures show that more and more companies are now reporting their ethical performance and it‟s clear, I think, that companies now have to address the issue of ensuring ethical behaviour amongst their staff. The question is of course – how?To begin with, awareness is key. And in order to promote awareness for ethics, the company needs to put ethics high on the training and staff development agenda. The HR department, say, can sponsor some workshops or seminars on business ethics, or even invite some external experts for this purpose.Once these procedures are in place, the company then needs to spell out an official code of ethical practice and ensure that all employees have access to it and can understand it easily. The company then needs to implement an effective and anonymous system of reporting any breaches of this code. Some companies even benchmark their ethical practices against those of industry leaders and see how they‟re doing.I suppose it‟s also vital that companies ensure that their senior managers set a good example, …walk and talk‟ so to speak. If they don‟t behave ethically why should staff?All in all, whatever measures a company adopts, it needs to make staff understand why ethics is important not just to the company but also to themselves as well.* * * *BEC II Part 2 questions:Career 职业题1.What is important when looking for a new job? Location, Salary, Good colleaguesSee C, F--Last but not least, good colleagues are not a minor consideration either. As we all know,。

公司搬迁英语作文

公司搬迁英语作文Title: Relocation of the Company。

In the dynamic landscape of business operations, companies often find themselves in the position of having to relocate their offices for various reasons. Whether it be to expand operations, reduce costs, or access new markets, the decision to move is often a strategic one. In this essay, we will explore the process and implications of relocating a company.First and foremost, the decision to relocate a company is not one that is made lightly. It involves careful consideration of various factors such as the needs of the business, the preferences of employees, and the impact on stakeholders. Additionally, logistical considerations such as the availability of suitable office space,transportation infrastructure, and proximity to clients must also be taken into account.Once the decision to relocate has been made, the next step is to plan and execute the move itself. This involves coordinating with real estate agents to find suitableoffice space, arranging for the transportation of equipment and supplies, and communicating with employees about the timeline and logistics of the move. It is important to minimize disruption to business operations as much as possible during this transition period.One of the key challenges of relocating a company is managing the impact on employees. Moving to a new location can be disruptive and stressful for staff, especially if it involves uprooting their lives and relocating their families. As such, it is important for management to be transparent and communicative throughout the process, addressing any concerns or questions that employees may have and providing support where needed.Another important consideration when relocating a company is the impact on the local community. Depending on the size of the company and the nature of its operations, a relocation can have significant economic and socialimplications for the area. It is therefore important for companies to engage with local stakeholders and mitigate any negative effects as much as possible.In conclusion, the relocation of a company is a complex and multifaceted process that requires careful planning and consideration. By taking into account the needs of the business, the preferences of employees, and the impact on stakeholders, companies can ensure a smooth transition to their new location. While challenges may arise along the way, with careful planning and communication, therelocation process can ultimately be a positive step forward for the company.。

Company offers chance to 'rest in space' A Beijing undertaker is offering China's first space burial service, with the cheapest package starting at 5,600 yuan ($896.4).
Ashes of the departed will be shipped to the US and put into lipstick-sized capsules, each weighing no more than 7 grams, according to Xu Yi, one of the founders of Biian, which literally means "the other shore".
Clients can go to the US to watch the launch but have to pay their own travel expenses. By downloading an App on a smart phone they are able to track the location of a loved one's remains.
The price varies depending on where the remains end up. "The 5,600 yuan package launches the ashes into orbit around the Earth for 30 to 50 weeks before it falls into the atmospheric layer," Xu said.
The most expensive package, at 75,000 yuan ($12,000) will "launch the ashes on a voyage through deepest space, on a permanent celestial journey."
"The capsules will fly along its orbit; therefore it will not become space debris," said Tian Zhenqiang, a senior engineer with China Aerospace Science & Industry Corp.
US company Celestis holds six to eight space funerals every year, each taking about 100 capsules on their final journey.
Although the cheapest package is no more expensive than the popular iPhone 6S, Biian has not received a single client since being authorized two years ago by Celestis Inc. which introduced memorial spaceflights in 1997.
Xu said many inquirers were retirees who formerly worked in the aeronautical and space technology industries, "who wish to rest in space", but that no firm reservations have been made.
He thinks opposition from family members made the pensioners give up on the idea. "Chinese traditionally want to keep the ashes, and not be separated from them" he said.
That has given inspiration to some innovative firms which have turned ashes into wearable accessories, such as diamond rings which have proved popular.
In Chinese tradition, a funeral is a complicated and solemn rite. People used to make preparations for the afterlife in advance, choosing sites for their burial and preparing coffins and burial clothes. Emperors would spend decades building mausoleums for themselves at tremendous cost.
In recent years more Chinese have become open to "green burials", such as burial at sea, especially with the encouragement of local governments.。
