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 little Japanese 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 a ll 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: Le t’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 purch asing 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 will.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, in 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 suppliers. 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 we need 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 clients have any que stions. 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 fo r the laptop 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 you’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 the drop, 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, there’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 t hink 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. The 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 a nice 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.。

ScriptGeorge Adams, a market researcher at a Midwestern firm, finally printed his marketing report. After months of research, hundreds of surveys, and several boring drafts, his report was complete, and just in time. He was going away for the weekend, and he wanted to relax knowing his report was a success. He carefully proofread his document and then delivered copies to all the executives on his distribution list.When he returned to his desk, he discovered his boss, the department manager, was livid. At first he did not realize he had accidentally gone over his head. Anyway, she had given him the contribution list in the first place. So he thought he was just following orders. But the boss was furious that she hadn’t seen the final document.The boss asked Adams to get back the copies, but it was too late. When Adams got to the CEO’s office, he was already reading the report. Adams had felt friction with his boss before. She was overbearing and tended to find fault with his work after he’d broken his back to meet deadlines. In this instance, however, he realized he had made a serious error. His boss was extremely upset, for his mistake made her look as though she wasn’t in control of her department.From the boss’s point of view, Adams was usurping her authority. The result was simple and natural: Adams left his job soon afterward. Adams’s story illustrates a fundamental truth about the workplace: small, seemingly innocent missteps can sometimes become a big career trap.13. To whom did Adams deliver copies of the report?14. What did Adams discover after he delivered the copies?15. What happened when the boss asked Adams to get back the copies ofthe report?16. According to the passage, why was his boss extremely upset?5. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?K eys: 1.B 2.B 3.C 4.A 5.CTask 2: The boss is angry!ScriptSam: Tell me: Does this place look like a nursing home?Sally: No. Why?Sam: Do I look like a male nurse?Sally: Not at all.Sam: Then why do my employees act as though this were a nursing home instead of a work place?Sally: You’re obviously upset. What’s wrong? Tell me.Sam: You’re right. I’m upset about a lot of things.Sally: Can you tell me what the problems are?Sam: First of all I’m upset because so many of the staff have been showing up late for work.Sally: It’s true. A lot of people have been coming in late. They probably think you don’t mind. You know there’s a pretty relaxed atmosphere here.Sam: Maybe it’s because I hang out with a lot of them outside the office.Sally: They must see you more as a buddy than a boss. It’s because you’re so friendly.Sam: You’re right. They don’t view me as an authority figure anymore. I’m afraid they don’t respect me as a bossSally: So what are you going to do about it?Sam: I’m going to change. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I’m going to start cracking the whip.Sally: When do you want this change to take place?Sam: Starting today, I’m going to lay down the law. From now on, everyone in the company must follow regulations to the latter.Sally: I’ll post a notice as soon as possible. What should it say? Sam: No more punching in late. No more clocking out early. No more calling in sick without a goof reason or without a doctor’s note. Sally: Anything else?Sam: No more personal phone calls or e-mails on company time!Sally: All right, I’ll get right on it!K eys: FTFTFTask3: Three EnvelopesScriptAfter a high –level firing at Supertech, the top executives gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, Carl Martin, and say good-bye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.Lunch was pretty well over when Jackson took his replacement aside and said: “Carl, it’s a jungle out there in the business world. If we graduate of Harvard Business School don’t stick up for one anther, who will? Nobody, that’s who.”Jackson explained that a tradition the company’s CEOs had. The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO. He handed Martin three envelopes. “Open one if there’s a problem you can’t solve.”Things went smoothly for Martin at first, but six months later sales took a downturn, and he was catching a lot of heat. At his wit’s end, he remembered the envelopes. He took from his desk the first envelope. The message read, “Blame your predecessor.”Martin held a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO. The press—and Wall Street—reacted positively, sales picked up, and the problem was soon behind him.A year later, the company was again experiencing a dip in sales, combined with serious product problems. The CEO opened the second envelope. The message read, “Recognize.”This he did, and the company quickly rebounded.After several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope. The meager read, “Prepare three envelopes.”For Reference1. They gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer,Carl Martin, and say good-bye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.2. The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO3. The message read, “Blame your predecessor.” So, the new CEO held apress conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO.4. The message read, “Recognize.”The new CEO did it, and the companyquickly rebounded.5. The meager said, “Prepare three envelopes.”It implied that it was time for Martin to leave and give three similar envelopes to the next CEO.。

Script
Mr. Welsh: Fine. But it seems to us that your price is much higher than other suppliers’ in China. We are currently doing business with some factories in Shenzhen. Mr. Wang: We know some factories give lower prices but their quality is poor. You see, the surface of our products is very smooth. And after the tour, you must have an idea how well our manufacturing environment meets international sanitary standards. Considering the quality, our price is very reasonable. Mr. Welsh: We don’t deny that. But if you can give us a little discount, we can start up a longterm relationship. Mr. Wang: You’re really tempting me. OK, what’s your quantity then? Generally, we’re not allowed to give discount at this price. But if your order is large enough, I can offer you a special discount. Mr. Welsh: For the large plastic chair and the trolley, we can take 1,000 pieces of each and much more later on after this trial order.

Also (S2) known as a virtual business, the SOHO has not evolved beyondthe idea of an (S3) independent business person who has a few support stall members. Business (S4)enterprises that are large are often called Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.Before the19th century and the (S5)spread of the industrial revolution around the globe, (S6) nearly all offices were small offices or home offices, with only a few exceptions. Most businesses were small, and (S7) so was the amount of paperwork that went with their business activities.At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, the term ―Small or Home Office‖ and (S8) the acronym SOHO have been used t to great extent by companies that sell products to large number of small business with a small-sized office.Some products are often designed specifically for the SOHO market. (S9) Many books are written and sold specifically for this type of office to tell people how to equip a small office.Nowadays many consultants, lawyers, and real estate agents in small and medium- sized towns operate from such home offices.(S10) In the field of software development, engineers often have to work 20 hours or more at a stretch, so they can hardly adapt to normal office hours. They often work in small offices to have more freedom.Task3: The Role of Job DescriptionsScriptPeople who don’t understand what their employers expect them to do may be headed for one of the most common and yet most avoidable career traps. If your boss doesn’t take the time to explain properly what you are expected to do in your position. Then keep asking questions until you know precisely what it is. Don’t limit your questions to matter of everyday routine. Lee Colby, a management consultant based in Minneapolis, offers his advice. He says you can ask more significant questions like, ―What are our departm wnt’s goals? How does my work fit in with the overall objective of the company?‖That method helped Lisa James, an assistant manager at an electronics company. When James was transferred to a new department seven years ago, she found herself not only working for the manager of quality control, but assisting three other managers. Because the job was both demanding and ill-defined, James had to put in ten-hour days as well as take work home. To clarify what was expected of her and what she hoped to get from her job in terms of career department, she drafted a list of goals in collaboration with her principal boss. The list proved so well though out that her boss used it as the basis for her annual performance reviews. Shortly afterwards, she was given a raise for her efficient work.If your boss is vague about what your goals should be, try this technique suggested by Atkin Simon, director of a Boston-based management-consulting firm: Read your position description, which most large firms provide, and identify the two or threemost important tasks it mentions. Then meet with your boss, point out the tasks you’ve chosen and ask if they accurately reflect what your boss considers important.1.If your boss does not describe your job responsibility clearly, what can you do?2.What kind of questions can you ask about your job?3.When James was transferred to a new department, how many managers did shehave to work for?4.With whom did James draft a list of goals?5.

Then meet with your boss, point out the tasks you’ve chosen and ask if they accurately reflect what your boss considers important.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: A small misstep can become a big career trap.ScriptGeorge Adams, a market researcher at a Midwestern firm, finally printed his marketing report. After months of research, hundreds of surveys, and several boring drafts, his report was complete, and just in time. He was going away for the weekend, and he wanted to relax knowing his report was a success. He carefully proofread his document and then delivered copies to all the executives on his distribution list. When he returned to his desk, he discovered his boss, the department manager, was livid. At first he did not realize he had accidentally gone over his head. Anyway, she had given him the contribution list in the first place. So he thought he was just following orders. But the boss was furious that she hadn’t seen the final document. The boss asked Adams to get back the copies, but it was too late. When Adams got to the CEO’s office, he was already reading the report.Adams had felt friction with his boss before. She was overbearing and tended to find fault with his work after he’d broken his back to meet deadlines. In this instance, however, he realized he had made a serious error. His boss was extremely upset, for his mistake made her look as though she wasn’t in control of her department.From the boss’s point of view, Adams was usurping her authority. The result was simple and natural: Adams left his job soon afterward.Adams’s story illustrates a fundamental truth about the workplace: small, seemingly innocent missteps can sometimes become a big career trap.1.To whom did Adams deliver copies of the report?2.What did Adams discover after he delivered the copies?3.What happened when the boss asked Adams to get back the copies of the report?4.According to the passage, why was his boss extremely upset?5. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?Keys: 1.B 2.B 3.C 4.A 5.CTask 2: The boss is angry!ScriptSam: Tell me: Does this place look like a nursing home?Sally: No. Why?Sam: Do I look like a male nurse?Sally: Not at all.Sam: Then why do my employees act as though this were a nursing home instead of a work place?Sally: You’re obviously upset. What’s wrong? Tell me.Sam: You’re right. I’m upset about a lot of things.Sally: Can you tell me what the problems are?Sam: First of all I’m upset because so many of the staff have been showing up late for work.Sally: It’s true. A lot of people have been coming in late. They probably think you don’t mind. You know there’s a pretty relaxed atmosphere here.Sam: Maybe it’s because I hang out with a lot of them outside the office.Sally: They must see you more as a buddy than a boss. It’s because you’re so friendly. Sam: You’re right. They don’t view me as an authority figure anymore. I’m afraid they don’t respect me as a bossSally: So what are you going to do about it?Sam: I’m going to change. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I’m going to start cracking the whip.Sally: When do you want this change to take place?Sam: Starting today, I’m going to lay down the law. From now on, everyone in the company must follow regulations to the latter.Sally: I’ll post a notice as soon as possible. What should it say?Sam: No more punching in late. No more clocking out early. No more calling in sick without a goof reason or without a doctor’s note.Sally: Anything else?Sam: No more personal phone calls or e-mails on company time!Sally: All right, I’ll get right on it!Keys: FTFTFTask3: Three EnvelopesScriptAfter a high –level firing at Supertech, the top executives gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, Carl Martin, and say good-bye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.Lunch was pretty well over when Jackson took his replacement aside and said: ―Carl, it’s a jungle out there in the business world. If we graduate of Harvard Business School don’t stick up for one anther, who will? Nobody, that’s who.‖Jackson explained that a tradition the company’s CEOs had. The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO. He handed Martin three envelopes. ―Open one if there’s a problem you can’t solve.‖Things went smoothly for Martin at first, but six months later sales took a downturn, and he was catching a lot of heat. At his wit’s end, he remembered the envelopes. He took from his desk the first envelope. The message read, ―Blame your predecessor.‖Martin held a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO. The press—and Wall Street—reacted positively, sales picked up, and the problem was soon behind him.A year later, the company was again experiencing a dip in sales, combined with serious product problems. The CEO opened the second envelope. The message read, ―Recognize.‖This he did, and the company quickly rebounded.After several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope. The meager read, ―Prepare three envelopes.‖For Reference1.They gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, Carl Martin,and say good-bye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.2.The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO3.The message read, ―Blame your predecessor.‖So, the new CEO held a pressconference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO.4.The mes sage read, ―Recognize.‖ The new CEO did it, and the company quicklyrebounded.5.

（洗衣机）Task 1 The 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 n eed extra spring. Anyway, he makes 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.Task 2 A job ad for a friendly employeeA Job Ad for a Friendly Employee A firm advertising for a “friendly” employee has been asked to change its wording because it discriminates against unfriendly people.Travel-co, 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 unfriend-ly. 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 nor 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.”Task 3: 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 refuse 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 n 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 a game. The boy gives his hero a bottle of Coke, and in exchange for the drink, the football player throws 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.IV. Speaking OutModel 1 Who pays?Laura: Hey!Bob: Hey! Look, this is a cool TV commercial. “Things go better with Coke!” Laura: I think the Pepsi commercial is just as attractive: “The choice of a new generation!”Bob: Yeah, but the competitors are just canceling out each other’s efforts.Laura: That’s quite true. They both spend piles of money to increase their market shares, but neither gains.Bob: I’m afraid the extra costs of advertising will be passed on to th e consumers. Laura: I hear that the advertising produces a good image of a product, and that leads to consumer brand loyalty.Bob: What do you mean by consumer brand loyalty?Laura: It means consumers are loyal to a certain product and keep buying it. Also, they’re willing to pay more.Bob: It seems contradictory. In other words, more sales mean lower production costs, but more advertising means higher costs to the consumer. In the end the winner is of course the company.Laura: That’s true!Model 2 Beware of ads!Peter: Mind if I switch channels? Those TV commercials are killing me.Jane: How can you say that? Watch: “Take Toshiba, take the world.” Fantastic! There’s a product you can depend on. A powerful product.Peter: If I were you, I wouldn’t trust those commercials.Jane: Now, look at this McDonald’s commercials! Aren’t those little kids cute? Oh, and there’s such a warm family feeling.Peter: Just how an advertising agency wants you to see McDonald’s. you’re the target audience. When they make TV commercials, they use scientific methods to learn what you’ll like and buy.Jane: Are you telling me those darling little children biting into Big Macs are part of a scientific project to get me into McDonald’s?Peter: Advertises don’t bother with facts more. Instead they want the end-user—that’s you—to fall in love with their product.Jane: I see. So what you’re saying is, “Watch out, or commercials will take over your life.”Model 3 Are the free magazines free?Peter: Jane, what’s that magazine you’re reading?Jane: It’s one of those free magazine you can pick up around town. It’s got some pretty interesting articles in it.Peter: Wake up, Jane! It’s not free at all. Look at it: It’s all advertising.Jane: M aybe so, but if the advertising pays for the magazine, then I don’t have to. Peter: Sure you do. The cost of the ads is built into the products.Jane: Still, I think advertising serves a useful purpose. It tells me about new products. Peter: A lot of companies spend more money on advertising than on making quality products.Jane: But some commercials are really fascinating. Besides, you have the freedom to choose not to look at the ads.Peter: Well, it’s time to cook dinner.V Let’s talkAdvertising techniquesTo write good advertisements, you have to remember a number of things.You should always start with the greatest benefit to consumers. For example, you can mention such advantages as money-saving, satisfying effects, improved health, better appearance, greater self-esteem and so on.In an ad, you need to use pronouns properly. As you might know, consumers are usually interested in themselves. So you must direct all your comments at them. Use you, your and yours wherever possible. You can also include we, our and ours throughout your ad, but you should use I, me and mine very sparingly.Al so, it is important to use accurate numbers if possible. For example, “101 uses for this cell phone” is more likely to attract people’s attention than “Many things to do with this cell phone”.If an exact number does not sound convincing, use a percentage instead. For instance, if consumers are unlikely to believe that they can make “10,000 dollars” out of the advertised product, you can tell them they will “see a 20 percent increase in sales within the first year”.Moreo ver, don’t use too many adjectives and adverbs: Save these for your poetry and love letters. An ad should contain plenty of verbs to convey a sense of action and urgency so as to encourage consumers to react to the ad promptly.In finishing your ad, you should tell consumers what you want them to do. For example, “Click here for more information.”VI Further listening and speakingTask 1: 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 advertises are not allowed to show young people smoking cigarettes, neither are ads targeted at youth allowed.Robert: But advertises 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 in campus.Robert: I couldn’t a gree more.Task 2: An Introduction to AdvertisingAdvertis ing 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 product in commercial radio programs. They employ attractive salesgirls to distribute samples. They organizes 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 usually think so because of the advertisements that say so. Some people never pause to ask themselves if the advertisements are telling the truth.Task 3: 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!

Great! Thanks. Bye.V. Let’s TalkScriptLillian: Mr. Baxter, you have worked in the company for five years, and you manage everything here smoothly, like a clock. Could you tell us the secret of your successful career?Baxter: Just as the golden rule of real estate is location, location, location, the golden rule of work is relationships, relationships, relationships. Unfortunately, many workers focus so hard on the job at hand that they never develop useful relationships with people in other parts of their organization. Worse, when they do interact with colleagues in other departments, they may not treat then with respect.Lillian: Could you give more details?Baxter: Let’s take Wendy as an example. She switched jobs several months ago in the company. In her first position, as a marketing manager, she frequently found herself in conflict with the financial department over her staff’s expenses. Her argument for more funds usually ended in vain.Then in her new job as training administrator, she wanted to launch an on-the-job training project. She needed the financial department to support her request for a budget. How did she convince them this time?Although the financial department’s offices were located in another city, Wendy decided to visit them in their offices and try to establish closer relationships. She believed she must first of all understand their mission and their own training needs. Then she found an ally in the company’s chief financial officer, who saw how her group could help develop his staff. So the two forged a long-tern=m alliance, which led to a training program so successful that it has since been picked up by the company’s offices in Germany and Japan.Winning allies throughout your organization has an additional benefit. These days, it’s far too risky to expect your work to speak for itself. Having allies who speak well of you increases your reputation with the top management.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: A small misstep can become a big career trap.ScriptGeorge Adams, a market researcher at a Midwestern firm, finally printed his marketing report. After months of research, hundreds of surveys, and several boring drafts, his report was complete, and just in time. He was going away for the weekend, and he wanted to relax knowing his report was a success. He carefully proofread his document and then delivered copies to all the executives on his distribution list. When he returned to his desk, he discovered his boss, the department manager, was livid. At first he did not realize he had accidentally gone over his head. Anyway, she had given him the contribution list in the first place. So he thought he was just following orders. But the boss was furious that she hadn’t seen the final document. The boss asked Adams to get back the copies, but it was too late. When Adams got to the CEO’s office, he was already reading the report.Adams had felt friction with his boss before. She was overbearing and tended to find fault with his work after he’d broken his back to meet deadlines. In this instance, however, he realized he had made a serious error. His boss was extremely upset, for his mistake made her look as though she wasn’t in control of her department.From the boss’s point of view, Adams was usurping her authority. The result was simple and natural: Adams left his job soon afterward.Adams’s story illustrates a fundamental truth about the workplace: small, seemingly innocent missteps can sometimes become a big career trap.1.To whom did Adams deliver copies of the report?2.What did Adams discover after he delivered the copies?3.What happened when the boss asked Adams to get back the copies of the report?4.According to the passage, why was his boss extremely upset?5.

What’s wrong? Tell me.Sam: You’re right. I’m upset about a lot of things.Sally: Can you tell me what the problems are?Sam: First of all I’m upset because so many of the staff have been showing up late for work.Sally: It’s true. A lot of people have been coming in late. They probably think you don’t mind. You know there’s a pretty relaxed atmosphere here.Sam: Maybe it’s because I hang out with a lot of them outside the office.Sally: They must see you more as a buddy than a boss. It’s because you’re so friendly. Sam: You’re right. They don’t view me as an authority figure anymore. I’m afraid they don’t respect me as a bossSally: So what are you going to do about it?Sam: I’m going to change. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I’m going to start cracking the whip.Sally: When do you want this change to take place?Sam: Starting today, I’m going to lay down the law. From now on, everyone in the company must follow regulations to the latter.Sally: I’ll post a notice as soon as possible. What should it say?Sam: No more punching in late. No more clocking out early. No more calling in sick without a goof reason or without a doctor’s note.Sally: Anything else?Sam: No more personal phone calls or e-mails on company time!Sally: All right, I’ll get right on it!Keys: FTFTFTask3: Three EnvelopesScriptAfter a high –level firing at Supertech, the top executives gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, Carl Martin, and say good-bye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.Lunch was pretty well over when Jackson took his replacement aside and said: ―Carl, it’s a jungle out there in the business world. If we graduate of Harvard Business School don’t stick up for one anther, who will? Nobody, that’s who.‖Jackson explained that a tradition the company’s CEOs had. The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO. He handed Martin three envelopes. ―Open one if there’s a problem you can’t solve.‖Things went smoothly for Martin at first, but six months later sales took a downturn, and he was catching a lot of heat. At his wit’s end, he remembered the envelopes. He took from his desk the first envelope. The message read, ―Blame your predecessor.‖Martin held a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO. The press—and Wall Street—reacted positively, sales picked up, and the problem was soon behind him.A year later, the company was again experiencing a dip in sales, combined with serious product problems. The CEO opened the second envelope. The message read, ―Recognize.‖This he did, and the company quickly rebounded.After several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope. The meager read, ―Prepare three envelopes.‖For Reference1.They gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, Carl Martin,and say good-bye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.2.The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO3.The message read, ―Blame your predecessor.‖So, the new CEO held a pressconference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO.4.The message read, ―Recognize.‖ The new CEO did it, and the company quicklyrebounded.5. The meager said, ―Prepare three envelopes.‖ It implied that it was time for Martin to leave and give three similar envelopes to the next CEO.News ReportA Wearable TranslatorScriptThe inability to communicate in a foreign language is a problem that many international travelers face. But now, a Minnesota company is developing a system that would make this a problem of the past.Minneapolis-based Via is the company behind the ―Mobile Language Translation System‖, or MLTS. But they are not the only company trying to develop real-time computer translation. IBM is promoting a new high-speed text translation system, and NEC is working on software that provides rapid voice translations from English to Japanese and vice versa.But Via CEO Ed McConaghay says that the biggest difficulty in developing MLTS hs been to combine existing technology with bidirectional capability and portable packaging.[SOUND BITE]A translator demonstrates just how MLTS works.The translations take about five seconds and are not always perfect. However, the text translation on the screen can help users get the general idea of a conversation. [SOUND BITE]In the future, MLTS may be able to assist military personnel in communicating with foreign language speakers in the field. This system may also be of help to border patrol officers, airport personnel, and local law enforcement.Eventually, though, the device will be available to travelers or anyone in the general public who would like to communicate with a foreign friend.。

Her special area is called "public interest law".Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees. They have had expensive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to the people who need legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers' fees? It is unfair if these people cannot get the legal help they need.Public interest lawyers, who also have had expensive and highly specialized training, fill this need. Patricia, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients have the help they need, even if they can pay nothing at all.Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty goods. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened to be driven out of their homes and have no place to go. Their cases are all called "civil" cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seek those public interest lawyers who handle "criminal" cases.Q 11: What is this passage about?Q 12: What is unfair according to the speaker?Q 13: What can be inferred from this passage?Q 14: What do we know from this passage?Q 15: What is an example of a civil case?∧收起答案复合式听写10题Directions：Listen to a short passage three times.

But be careful who you take advice from, because the workplace is changing very fast right now. As the new generation makes its voice heard at work, a lot of the old rules no longer apply. Here are two job-hunting rules that will hold you back if you're not careful:Bad Rule No. 1: Draw a clear picture of yourself. A résumé is not supposed to give the story of your life; it's a marketing document. So the goal is not to tell every single thing about yourself, but rather to get an interview. And the best way to land an interview is to make the employer want to find out more about you.Bad Rule No. 2: Don't be too narrow. If you're not narrow, then what are you selling? Think about cars. Is a BMW the car that meets every need for every person? Is a Saturn the car for high-end and low-end markets? You're no different from a car. You can't be everything to everyone.Q 11: What is the passage about?Q 12: What can we infer from the passage?Q 13: What does the author think about résumés?Q 14: What is the best way to get an interview?Q 15: In what sense are people like cars?∧收起答案复合式听写10题Directions：Listen to a short passage three times.

Because school is out and the weather is great. And most of all, because we all deserve a break. When Americans take a break, they often head for their favorite vacation spots.Most companies provide an annual vacation for their employees, and people often use that time to travel. Some people just visit friends or relatives in distant states. Others go on low-budget weekend excursions and stay in economy motels. Those with more expensive tastes choose luxurious resorts and hotels. Camping out in the great outdoors appeals to adventurous types. Some travel in recreational vehicles to camp out in comfort, while others "rough it" by sleeping in tents.Most Americans prefer to travel within their nation's border. Why? For one thing, it's cheaper than traveling abroad, and there's no language problem. Besides that, the vast American territory offers numerous tourist attractions. Nature lovers can enjoy beaches, mountains, canyons, lakes and a wealth of natural wonders. Major cities offer visitors a multitude of urban delights. The convenience of modern freeways, railways and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie.Many American vacations are as unique as the people who take them. Families often plan their trips with the kids in mind. More and more "family friendly" vacation resorts offer special programs for children. Environmentalists prefer "green vacations". These trips allow them to observe plants and flowers closely without disturbing the sensitive balance of nature. Some people find sea cruises relaxing and refreshing. Others hit the water to go fishing, skiing or rafting. Daring tourists get the thrill of a lifetime on expeditions in remote places from Africa to Asia.Q 11: What is the passage mainly about?Q 12: Which of the following is true of traveling in recreational vehicles?Q 13: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason why Americans prefer to travel within the United States?Q 14: Which of the following is true of America, according to the passage?Q 15: How can environmentalists benefit from "green vacations"?∧收起答案复合式听写10题Directions：Listen to a short passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, listen for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, fill in the blanks with the exact words you hear. When the passage is read for the third time, check what you have written. If you listen to American music, watch American television, or read American magazines, you will probably agree that the most popular subject of these forms of entertainment is love. Romantic love always finds an 16) audience in the United States. Falling in love, solving the problems of love, and achieving the happy ending –the big wedding –are subjects of interest to the adults as well as the 17) teenage public. Millions of Americans 18) celebrate Valentine's Day with special cards and gifts that announce their love to their mates, their friends, their coworkers, and their families. 19) Popular songs tell us that "All the world loves a lover".

Young Americans feel free 24) to choose their own marriage partners from any social, economic, or religious background.

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 Y ao Ming. He says these shoes give him extra spring. Father: Y ao Ming is so tall that he doesn’t need extra spring. Anyway, he makes 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 Y ao Ming reached the top just because of the shoes he wears? Or was it something else?Richard: Y ou mean like hard work, dedication, that sort of thing?Father: Exactly. Just focus on your studies and forget the shoes.1. shoes2. look kind of funny3. there is still a lot of life left4. ad5. give him extra spring6.as much money7. need extra spring8. millions of dollars9.wearing the shoes 10. wear 11. for nothing 12. reach the top13. because of 14. something lese 15. hard work and dedication16. focus/concentrate on his studies 17. forgetTask 2: 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 saved for 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 imagine 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 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.”1.T2.F3.F4.T5.FTask 3: 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 refuse 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 Pepsin 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 a game. The boy gives his hero a bottle of Coke, and in exchange for the drink, the football player throws 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 Y ork 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.1. A2.D3.B4.C5.CIV. Speaking OutModel 1 Who pays?Laura: Hey!Bob: Hey! Look, this is a cool TV commercial. “Things go better with Coke!”Laura: I think the Pepsi commercial is just as attractive: “The choice of a new generation!”Bob: Y eah, but the competitors are just canceling out each other’s efforts.Laura: That’s quite true. They both spend piles of money to increase their market shares, but neither gains.Bob: I’m afraid the extra costs of advertising will be passed on to the consumers.Laura: I hear that the advertising produces a good image of a product, and that leads to consumer brand loyalty.Bob: What do you mean by consumer brand loyalty?Laura: It means consumers are loyal to a certain product and keep buying it. Also, they’re willing to pay more.Bob: It seems contradictory. In other words, more sales mean lower production costs, but more advertising means higher costs to the consumer.In the end the winner is of course the company.Laura: That’s true!Now Your TurnA: Look, “Make yourself heard!” The Ericsson’s TV commercial is so cool.B: I think the Nokia’s commercial is just as fascinating: “Connecting People.”A: I’m afraid consumers will have to pay for the advertising.B: I hear that the advertisements create as a favorable on\mage of a product, and that leads to consumer brand loyalty.A: Could you explain “consumer brand loyalty”?B: I mean consumers identify with the product and keep buying it. Sometimes they’re even willing to pay more.A: It is contradictory that increases sales lead to a lower production cost per unit, but more advertising results in greater costs for consumers. The winner is always the company.B: I agree.Model 2 Beware of ads!Peter: Mind if I switch channels? Those TV commercials are killing me.Jane: How can you say that? Watch: “Take Toshiba, take the world.” Fantastic! There’s a product you can depend on. A powerful product.Peter: If I were you, I wouldn’t trust those commercials.Jane: Now, look at this McDonald’s commercials! Aren’t those little kids cute? Oh, and there’s such a warm family feeling.Peter: Just how an advertising agency wants you to see McDonald’s. you’re the target audience.When they make TV commercials, they use scientific methods to learn what you’ll like and buy.Jane: Are you telling me those darling little children biting into Big Macs are part of a scientific project to get me into McDonald’s?Peter: Advertises don’t bother with facts more. Instead they want the end-user—that’s you—to fall in love with their product.Jane: I see. So what you’re saying is, “Watch out, or commercials will take over your life.”Now Your TurnA: Shall we switch to another channel? I don’t like those TV commercials.B: Why do you think so? Look: Just do it! What a powerful product.A: I doubt it.B: Now, look at this L’Oreal commercial. The model’s skin is so smooth.A: This is what they want you to believe: use the product and you will get the same skin.B: Y ou mean they are lying about the product? I don’t really think so.A: Advertisers now appeal to emotions, not reason. They want you to like their product.B: Well, I don’t really agree with you, but we can switch to another channel.Model 3 Are the free magazines free?Peter: Jane, what’s that magazine you’re reading?Jane: It’s one of those free magazine you can pick up around town. It’s got some pretty interesting articles in it.Peter: Wake up, Jane! It’s not free at all. Look at it: It’s all advertising.Jane: Maybe so, but if the advertising pays for the magazine, then I don’t have to.Peter: Sure you do. The cost of the ads is built into the products.Jane: Still, I think advertising serves a useful purpose. It tells me about new products.Peter: A lot of companies spend more money on advertising than on making quality products. Jane: But some commercials are really fascinating. Besides, you have the freedom to choose not to look at the ads.Peter: Well, it’s time to cook dinner.Now Your TurnA: What’s that brochure you’re reading?B: It’s a giveaway brochure you can easily find here and there. It’s got some pretty interesting things in it.A: Do you really think so? It’s not really free. Look at all the ads in it.B: Could be, but I don’t have to pay for it.A: Y ou bet you do. The cost6oof the ads is included in the products.B: Still, I think advertising tells me about new products. It helps me in choosing what to buy.A: This is just what the advertisers want you to do.B: But some commercials are really fascinating. Besides, you’re didn’t have to believe all the ads. A: Well, let’s go swimming.V. Let’s TalkA Job 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 nor 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’sVI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: 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 advertises are not allowed to show young people smoking cigarettes, neither are ads targeted at youth allowed.Robert: But advertises 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 in campus. Robert: I couldn’t agree more.1.They have banned tobacco/cigarette ads completely.2.Advertisers are not allowed to show young people smoking cigarettes.3.They keep finding ways around the law.4.They must keep bringing in new customers, as the old ones are dying of lung cancer.5.IT should do some publicity against smoking on campus.Task 2: 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. Y ou name it; we have it!

So, come on in, and let us make your dream home a reality.1.F2.F3.T4.F5.TTask 3: 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 product in commercial radio programs. They employ attractive salesgirls to distribute samples. They organizes 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 usually think so because of the advertisements that say so. Some people never pause to ask themselves if the advertisements are telling the truth.1.A2.C3.B4.D5.DSpeakingInfluence of a High-Profile StarJill: Hey, isn’t that the same jacket the soccer star Roberto wears in that magazine ad? Robert: The very same one indeed. Even the same color.Jill: But his would have bigger pockets to hold all the money the company pays him to wear it. Robert: Y ou’re just jealous. Wait a sec. I’m going to try it on. It seems to fit me pretty well.Jill: Y ou make me sick. Y ou fall for every ad you see.Robert: Not at all. I want to buy it just because I like it.Jill: Sure you do.

Unfortunately, many workers focus so hard on the job at hand that they never develop useful relationships with people in other parts of their organization. Worse, when they do interact with colleagues in other departments, they may not treat then with respect.Lillian: Could you give more details?Baxter: Let’s take Wendy as an example. She switched jobs several months ago in the company. In her first position, as a marketing manager, she frequently found herself in conflict with the financial department over her staff’s expenses. Her argument for more funds usually ended in vain.Then in her new job as training administrator, she wanted to launch an on-the-job training project. She needed the financial department to support her request for a budget. How did she convince them this time?Although the financial department’s offices were located in another city, Wendy decided to visit them in their offices and try to establish closer relationships. She believed she must first of all understand their mission and their own training needs. Then she found an ally in the company’s chief financial officer, who saw how her group could help develop his staff. So the two forged a long-tern=m alliance, which led to a training program so successful that it has since been picked up by the company’s offices in Germany and Japan.Winning allies throughout your organization has an additional benefit. These days, it’s far too risky to expect your work to speak for itself. Having allies who speak well of you increases your reputation with the top management.Keys:Relationships, marketing manager, in conflict with, expenses, ended in vain, training administrator, visited, establish closer relationships, long-term, picked upTask3:Keys:CDDCAIV.

The news reporters sit in one part of the room, and you have features on the other side of the room. I'm just going to see Kev, he's my news editor and he's going to do a(n)brief, basically brief me on a story that's happening later on. When I walk into my newsroom I don't know what to expect. You start at eight but you don't know how long that's gonna go on for. Hello.Kevin:Hi Ayesha.

Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: A small misstep can become a big career trap.ScriptGeorge Adams, a market researcher at a Midwestern firm, finally printed his marketing report. After months of research, hundreds of surveys, and several boring drafts, his report was complete, and just in time. He was going away for the weekend, and he wanted to relax knowing his report was a success. He carefully proofread his document and then delivered copies to all the executives on his distribution list.When he returned to his desk, he discovered his boss, the department manager, was livid. At first he did not realize he had accidentally gone over his head. Anyway, she had given him the contribution list in the first place. So he thought he was just following orders. But the boss was furious that she hadn’t seen the final document.The boss asked Adams to get back the copies, but it was too late. When Adams got to the CEO’s office, he was already reading the report.Adams had felt friction with his boss before. She was overbearing and tended to find fault with his work after he’d broken his back to meet deadlines. In this instance, however, he realized he had made a serious error. His boss was extremely upset, for his mistake made her look as though she wasn’t in control of her department.From the boss’s point of view, Adams was usurping her authority. The result was simple and natural: Adams left his job soon afterward.Adams’s story illustrates a fundamental truth about the workplace: small, seemingly innocent missteps can sometimes become a big career trap.1.To whom did Adams deliver copies of the report?2.What did Adams discover after he delivered the copies?3.What happened when the boss asked Adams to get back the copies of thereport?4.According to the passage, why was his boss extremely upset?5. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?Keys: 1.D 2.B 3.C 4.A 5.CTask 2: The boss is angry!ScriptSam: Tell me: Does this place look like a nursing home?Sally: No. Why?Sam: Do I look like a male nurse?Sally: Not at all.Sam: Then why do my employees act as though this were a nursing home instead of a work place?Sally: You’re obviously upset. What’s wrong? Tell me.Sam: You’re right. I’m upset about a lot of things.Sally: Can you tell me what the problems are?Sam: First of all I’m upset because so many of the staff have been showing up late for work.Sally: It’s true. A lot of people have been coming in late. They probably think you don’t mind. You know there’s a pretty relaxed atmosphere here.Sam: Maybe it’s because I hang out with a lot of them outside the office.Sally: They must see you more as a buddy than a boss. It’s because you’re so friendly.Sam: You’re right. They don’t view me as an authority figure anymore. I’m afraid they don’t respect me as a bossSally: So what are you going to do about it?Sam: I’m going to change. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I’m going to start cracking the whip.Sally: When do you want this change to take place?Sam: Starting today, I’m going to lay down the law. From now on, everyone in the company must follow regulations to the latter.Sally: I’ll post a notice as soon as possible. What should it say?Sam: No more punching in late. No more clocking out early. No more calling in sick without a goof reason or without a doctor’s note.Sally: Anything else?Sam: No more personal phone calls or e-mails on company time!Sally: All right, I’ll get right on it!Keys: FTFTFTask3: Three EnvelopesScriptAfter a high –level firing at Supertech, the top executives gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, Carl Martin, and say good-bye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.Lunch was pretty well over when Jackson took his replacement aside and said: “Carl, it’s a jungle out there in the business world. If we graduate of Harvard Business School don’t stick up for one anther, who will? Nobody, that’s who.”Jackson explained that a tradition the company’s CEOs had. The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO. He handed Martin three envelopes. “Open one if there’s a problem you can’t solve.”Things went smoothly for Martin at first, but six months later sales took a downturn, and he was catching a lot of heat. At his wit’s end, he remembered the envelopes. He took from his desk the first envelope. The message read, “Blame your predecessor.”Martin held a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO. The press—and Wall Street—reacted positively, sales picked up, and the problem was soon behind him.A year later, the company was again experiencing a dip in sales, combined with serious product problems. The CEO opened the second envelope. The message read, “Recognize.”This he did, and the company quickly rebounded.After several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope. The meager read, “Prepare three envelopes.”For Reference1.They gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, CarlMartin, and say good-bye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.2.The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO3.The message read, “Blame your predecessor.” So, the new CEO held a pressconference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO.4.The message read, “Recognize.”The new CEO did it, and the companyquickly rebounded.5. The meager said, “Prepare three envelopes.” It implied that it was time for Martin to leave and give three similar envelopes to the next CEO.11。
