Have you any suggestions about how we can avoid bankruptcy? Adam:Downsizing would certainly reduce our operating costs. You know, make us lean and mean, the way you have to be in today’s market.Manager: Where do you suggest we start making these staff cuts?Adam:The logical place to start would be in administration. They usually overstaffed.Manager: That’s not going to go over very well with our employees. Some of them have been with the company for years.Adam:It’s painful process, but there’s no choice. They’ll just have to get used to the idea.’re fired. Manager: We can give them a fairly decent severance package when theyAdam:I know. And I think that if we computerize the office, we could reduce office staff by about 20 percent just by eliminating a lot of paperwork. Manager: OK. If we lay off 20 percent of the administrative staff, will that be enough to get the company back on its feet?Adam:Unfortunately not. We’ll also need to make some cuts in the service department.Manager: How can we do that and maintain the level of service that we offer our passengers?Adam: Well, we’ll have to retrain the service staff and streamline our operations, so we won’t need as many people to run things smoothly.Manager: Well, this is serious, but I really don’t think we have any other choice. If we keep losing money like this, we’ll have to shut everything down.1.What is the dialog mainly concerned with?2.What does the man mean by “make us lean and mean”?3.What is the difficulty in cutting the administrative staff?4.What will happen as a result of firing the administrators?5.What does the man think will happen after they cut 20 percent of theadministrators?Keys: 1B 2.D 3.A 4.C 5.CFor Reference’t 1.

If they keeplosing money, they will have to shut everything down.Task 2: A Hard-nosed BossScriptMr. Stone was known far and wide as a hard-nosed boss who (S1)watched his employees like a hawk. He was making one of his regular tours of the factory (S2) when he spotted a young man leaning against a (S3)pile of boxes just outside the foreman’s office. Since George, the foreman, wasn’t around. Stone stood off to the side and watched to see just how ling the young men would stand (S4) around doing nothing.The young man yawned, scratched his head, looked at his watch, and sat on the floor. After ten minutes or so he yawned again and (S5) leaned back on the pile of boxes. Stone stepped from his (S6)hiding place and walked up to the young man. “You!” he yelled, “How much do you make a week?”The young man looked up (S7) indifferently. “Two hundred and fifty dollars,”He said.(S8) Stone rushed into the cashier’s office, took$250 from the cash box, and returned. “Take it,” he said, “and get out! Don’t let me see you around here again!”The young man took the cash, put it in his pocket, and left. (S9) Seeing the young man showed no sign of embarrassment, Stone got furious. Then he went looking for George. When he found him, Stone was red with anger. “That lazy boy in front of your office,”Stone said, “I just gave him a week’s pay and fired him. What’s the matter with you, letting him stand around as though he has nothing to do?”“You mean the kid in the red shirt?” George asked.“Yes! The kid in the red shirt!”George said, “(S10)He was waiting for the 20 dollars we owe him for lunch. He works for the coffee shop around the corner.”Task3: Layoffs can be predicted.ScriptIn some cases companies inform their employees in advance that layoffs are coming. In other cases, they come without warning: You arrive on time for work on a Friday,but you are told not to come next week. Ouch!In either case, you may be able to sense some bad signs in advance. Maybe the company has tried very hard to avoid layoffs; maybe it has been preparing for the worst for quite some time. If you think about the bad omens carefully, you might know as much or more than some of the employees in managerial positions with management responsibilities.For example, if you work in sales, you might know that quotas have not been met. If you work in field engineering, you might notice far fewer customer installations. If your company’s competitors, suppliers or customers are laying off employees, it’s likely your company will too, especially if economic conditions are affecting your industry. Check the layoff statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Search the Net and your local newspaper too for articles concerning layoffs in your industry. Do things like bad sales always mean that layoffs are coming to your company? Not necessarily. Companies have seasonal and economic sales dips all the time, and are always looking for ways to improve their performance. So, if you see only one or two bad signs, don’t jump to a hasty conclusion. But if you see more, especially along the lines of earnings warnings, budget cuts, hiring freezes, restructuring, and massive layoffs in your industry, it might just be time to get your resume up to date and start looking for a new job. Also, it might e a good idea to cancel your vacation, implement money-saving measures, and become more useful on your job. You should prepare in advance if you think you might get the axe soon.1.What is the passage mainly about?2.According to the passage, when can one sense layoffs are coming?3.What is mentioned as a bad sign for the field engineering department?4.According to the passage, what do bad sales signal?5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a sign for you to update yourresume?Keys: 1D 2.C3. B 4.C 5AFor ReferenceYou may get your resume up to date and start looking for a new job. Also, it might e a good idea to cancel your vacation, implement money-saving measures, and become more useful on your job.IV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 We’re going to miss you.Susan: Excuse me, Helen, d o you have a minute to talk?Helen:That question always carries some weigh t, Sue. What’s up?Susan: Well, uh…Here goes…My university wants me to go back to update the university website.Helen: So what? You can go back on the weekend, or in the evening.Susan: But it’s a large project. So I’m afraid I have to terminate my work here before my internship is over. I have to go back next Thursday.Helen: Oh? This is quite a surprise, Sue. I’m sad that you’ll be leaving us. You run this place with clockwork efficiency, you know. We’re going to miss you. Susan: I hope this one-week notice will give you time to hire and train a replacement. Helen: Thanks for the notices, Sue. Assistants like you are one in a million. I guess we’d better start looking as soon as possible.Susan:With your approval, I’ll put out notice today and screen the application myself.Helen: That would be great. Schedule them in as you see fit. Oh, Sue, things certainly won’t be the same without you around here.Susan: Thank you for your kind words.

What’s more, you use the company phone to talk with your friends for hours.Tom:I know I’ve been late a couple of times; my motorcycle has been breaking down. I’m really sorry. I promise to do better in the future.Helen: I’m afraid it’s too late. Right now, your tardiness is the least of my problems. Tom:What do you mean?Helen: My secretary has proof that you have misappropriated company funds on several occasions. We won’t be prosecuting, but this simply can’t be allowed. Tom:: I didn’t steal any money! Your secretary is lying!Helen: I’m sorry, we have to let you go.Tom:You’re firing me? You are giving me my pink slip?Helen: Exactly. I’m sorry it had to turn out this way. Your termination is effective immediately.MODEL3 I’m the one you’ve been looking for.ScriptHelen: So, Bill, tell me about your last job. What kinds of work did you do?Bill: Market investigation, sales promotion, after-sale services, risk analysis, investment planning –to name just a few.Helen: Why did you leave?Bill:Downsizing. The company wasn’t performing efficiently. It’s been operating at a loss.So the only way out was to lay off redundant employees.Helen:Why do you think our corporation makes a good career move for you?Bill: My experience at the last company is completely transferable to your company, since you deal in the same products.Helen:Go on.even better, your corporation is a well-known multinational, and it’s Bill:What’sworking to become an industry leaser. I like that.Helen: And that would be a real boost to your career?Bill:Definitely. My last employer dealt with only small investments. But your company is handling large projects. That will help me grow professionally.Now Your TurnTask 1SAMPLE DIALOGPamela: Excuse me, Mr. Atkin, do you have a minute to spare?’s up?Atkin:The question suggests something serious, Pamela. WhatPamela: Well, uh…Thank you very much for offering me a permanent job. But now I’ve received a notice of admission to a Master’s degree program in myuniversity. I’m afraid I have to leave.Atkin:Oh, what a pity. You did an excellent job here, and everyone likes you. Pamela:I really enjoyed working here. But further studies will give me more opportunities to grow professionally.Atkin:Your skills in software development are almost irreplaceable here. Would you stay if I promote you to the department head and give you a raise inpay?Pamela: Thank you very much indeed, and I do appreciate the golden opportunity.But I really need to acquire more knowledge while I’m young. With aMaster’s degree in my hands, I’ll be more competitive in the future.keep you, Pamela. I just want to tell you that I’m sad Atkin:In that case, I won’tyou’ll be leaving us. You run this place with clockwork efficiency, you know.We’ll all miss you a lot.Pamela: I hope this one-month notice will give you time to hire and train a replacement.Atkin: Thanks for the notice, Pamela. Assistant like you are rare. I guess we’d better start looking as soon as possible.Pamela: With your approval, I’ll post notice today and interview applicants for you. Atkin: That would be great. Schedule them in as you see fit. Pamela, without you, things here will be different.Pamela: Thank you for your kind words. If you have any problem, please feel free call me.V. Let’s TalkScriptKathy: Well, now that everybody I here, let’s call the meeting to order. Today we have to discuss the operation of our software development department. We’reall aware that nowadays market competition is becoming more intense thanever before. If we want to keep our competitive edge, the only way is to offerexcellent and considerate service to our customer and, at the same time,lower our prices. So, what I’m thinking is, maybe we could outsource thesoftware side of out business to another company. But what impact will ithave on our engineers? I t’s a big problem. Mm, I’d be interested to knowyour thoughts, Warton.Warton: I totally agree with you.Kathy: Could you go into more detail about your opinion?Warton:I think that outsourcing this part of our operation to another company certainly makes a lot sense. Our software engineers ate getting a bit too old,and their technology is a bit out of date. Worse still, their salaries are quitehigh. Many professional software-designing companies are offering betterproducts at lower rates. With outsourcing, we can give some of theengineers the sack.Jennifer: Sorry to interrupt you. Coming from the PR department, I look at this issue from a different perspective. I think we should consider all sides of thisissue before we make a decision.Kathy: Jennifer, I’d be interested t o knot your view too.Jennifer: I think as a large company we should consider not only customers and prices, but also our employees. Our workers have contributed a lot to ourcompany. Some of them even started working here when our companyopened. I hope we can find a solution that won’t require us t o lay off ourloyal and trust employees.Kathy: I’m very much impressed by what you said. We’d better give this issue more careful consideration.Kathy Maybe we could outsource the software side of out business to another company. But what impact will it have on our engineers?WartonOur software engineers ate getting a bit too old, and their technology is a bit out of date.

Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Problems of JoblessnessScriptJoblessness can lead to a series of problem, and it is not easy to solve them.First of all, being without a job often means lacking social contract wit h fellow employees, and lacking a purpose for many hours of the day,. Also, it obviously affects your ability to pay bills and t o purchase the necessities of life, Lack of this ability is especially serious for those wit family obligations, debts, or medical costs, and it is especially true id in a country like the United States, where the availability ofmedical insurance is often linked to holding a job.Some maintain that jobless people can rely on unemployment insurance, but this is no true. Unemployment insurance in the U.S. typically does not even replace50 percentof the income one received on the job, and one cannot receive it forever. Therefore, the unemployed often end up aping welfare programs such as Food Stamps—or accumulating debt: both formal debt to banks and informal debt to friends and relatives.Some hold that low-income jobs provide solution to joblessness, but this is not true. Since it is difficult or impossible to get unemployment insurance benefits without having worked in the past, job-seekers have to accept low-income jobs. Thus, unemployment insurance keeps a ready supply of low-paid workers. To make things worse, many employers take advantage of this. When they resort to such management techniques as low wages and benefits, as well ad few chances for advancement, they bear the unemployment insurance option in mind.Under increasing unemployment pressure, jobless people suffer from a variety of financial, psychological and social problems. Increase unemployment encourages bad health and raises both crime and suicide rates.1.What is the first problem mentioned concerning joblessness?2.Which of the following is true of American unemployment insurance?3.Why do people accept low-income jobs?4.According to the passage, what problems might unemployment cause?5.Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.D5.ATask 2: Before the cutbackScriptheard of the cutbacks the Barbara: I’ve really got to think about my future. You’vemanagement’s making, right?Alan: Oh, yes. I’ve heard it. But you haven’t anything to be concerned about. Barbara: Around here you never know from one day to the next whether you can keep your job.Alan: Come on, they won’t let you go. You’ve been for so long. Besides, you’re good at your job.Barbara: That might be, but I feel that I’ve reached the glass ceiling in this company. Alan: Glass ceiling? What do you mean by that?Barbara: I’ve been working here for ten years. I haven’tgotten a promotion in three years. I thought I should be Vice President by now. If I were a man, I’msure I would be Vice President.Alan: There’s no official company policy, but it’s true that they don’tp romote women to management positions here.Barbara: I can see the writing on the wall. I think it’s time to change job, and maybe even careers, if I want to get ahead.Alan: Change career? That’s a big jump. If you change careers, w hat will you do?Barbara: I’m doing market research here, but I studies public relations in college. I’d like to do PR for a large multinational company.Alan: That sounds exciting, and the pay would be better, too. Yeah, if I would keep an eye on the job positing on the Internet.Barbara: Sooner or later something good is bound to turn up in the job market. Keys: TTFFFTask3: Career TransitionsScriptIn July of 2001, my husband, a professional in the information technology consulting industry, lost his job. Despite my experience as a career counselor who had counseled hundreds of people about career changes, when the bad news finally arrived, we were both caught unprepared. Unprepared to tell our children, unprepared for the mix of emotions and most dramatically, unprepared for the sudden loss of routine in our lives. The reality was that thought we both knew well how to find jobs, we had never beenin this awkward unemployment situation together before. I remember watching my husband sitting in our office as he patted his forehead and muttered to himself, “ Now what am I supposed to do?”Being laid-off created a whole new set of questions and challenge. We turned to the bookstore for assistance a nd found lots of books about job search, but not a single book on the day-to-day challenges you face when you get laid-off.Over time we learned what to do. We discovered terrific resources, identified shortcuts, and learned from others going through the same process. I spoke with my colleagues and clients and collected their best tips. Before we knew it, we had gathered enough interesting material for a book on career transitions –the book we needed but couldn’t find last JulyNow we want to share this goldmine of information with you.For Reference1.She had experience as a career counselor who had counseled hundreds of peopleabout career changes.

新视野大学英语第四册 unit5B Culture makes the business world go round
Culture makes the business world go round文化推动商业世界的运转Edward Hall, a leader in the field of intercultural studies, famously said: "The single greatest barrier to business success is the one erected by culture." Can cultural differences have as big an impact on international business ventures as financial planning and visionary leadership? The surprising answer is: Yes!他曾说过一句名言:“商业成功的最大障碍是由文化竖立的障碍。
”对国际企业来说,文化差异难道真的和财务规划及前瞻性领导有着同样大的影响吗?答案是出人意料的:的确如此!A good example is the role of relationships in business dealings. While relationships play only a minor role in US business culture, they play a major role in Asian, African, and Middle Eastern countries. In these cultures, in varying degrees, relationship building is like a torch that lights and guides the way for business to occur.一个很好的例子,人际关系在生意往来中所起的作用。

U.S. thinker, essayist, and naturalist. The authorof WaldenThoreau's House: Copied by Charles H. Overly from a drawing done by Thoreau's sister, Sophia.Famous quotations by Henry David ThoreauThe youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance (偶然, 恐怕), a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length (最后), the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed (贮放柴薪的木棚) with them.Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance (遗传, 遗产) of generations and nations.Books, not which afford us a cowering (畏缩, 退缩) enjoyment, but in which each thought is of unusual daring (大胆的); such as an idle man cannot read, and a timid one would not be entertained by, which even make us dangerous to existing institution--such call I good books.If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.The heart is forever inexperienced.There is no remedy for love but to love more.2. John Milton: 1608-1674. English poet, one of the greatest poets of the English language.Milton was born in London on December 9, 1609 as the son of a wealthy notary (公证人). He was educated at St. Paul's School. Milton received a Master’s degree from Cambridge University in 1632. In 1638, he undertook a European tour where he met many of the major thinkers of the day, especially in Italy.On his return to England, Milton became a Puritan (清教徒), and an opponent of the Catholics and of the Stuarts (英国斯图亚特王室). He was also an ardent (热心的, 热情洋溢的) polemicist (善辩论者), a follower of Cromwell (克伦威尔), and the latter's foreign language secretary. In 1652 he became completely blind. His first wife died in 1652 and he remarried in 1656.After the restoration of the Stuarts he suffered considerable persecution (迫害). He withdrew from active participation in politics and concentrated on his poetry. Paradise Lost was published in 1667, followed by Paradise Regained and Samson Agonistes in 1671. Among other popular works by Milton are the elegy (悲歌, 挽歌) "Lycidas", Comus , a masque (假面舞会), and the companion pieces "L'Allegro" and "Il Penseroso."3. William Wordsworth: 1770-1850. British poet, who spent his life in the Lake District of Northern England. Wordsworth’s personality and poetry were deeply influenced by his love of nature, especially by the sights and scenes of the LakeCountry, in which he spent most of his mature life. A profoundly earnest and sincere thinker, he displayed a high seriousness tempered (调节) with tenderness and a love of simplicity.PreviewThe patterns of personal relationships are changing across the globe. Traditional families and friendships are giving way to more modern interrelationships. In the following articles, the writers present a range of practices that characterize this period of relational and familial change; living alone, sharing a room with others and arranged marriage. Passage A looks at two contrasting sides of solitude: the American hero or literary giant who chooses to be alone and how solitude is seen as promoting both a strong character and creative inspiration and, how individuals feel about and react to loneliness that is not of their own choosing. The second passage discusses the problems that can arise when college students have to share a dormitory with each other. Differences in preferred lifestyles can often lead to irritation and tension and can occasionally explode into violence.New Words1. deer n.

Backgrounຫໍສະໝຸດ information1. Henry David Thoreau (1817—1862) was an US thinker,
essayist, and naturalist. Thoreau graduated from Harvard University and taught school for several years before leaving his job to become a poet of nature. In the years 1845—1847, to demonstrate how satisfying a simple life could be, he lived in a hut beside Concord's Walden Pond; essays recording his daily life were assembled for his masterwork, Walden, or Life in the Woods (1854). His A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849) was the only other book he published in his lifetime. In later years his interest in Transcendentalism waned, and he became a dedicated abolitionist. His many nature writings and records of his wanderings in Canada, Maine, and Cape Cod display the mind of a keen naturalist.
