Uint5II. Basic Listening Practice1.ScriptW: Why do some people stay in one job for life while others switch jobs from time to time?M: Some people want a fixed routine so that they don’t have to adapt tot new circumstances over and over again, while others think variety is the spice of life. Q: According to the dialog, why do some people stick to one job for life?2.ScriptM: Kathleen, you’ve been late for work so many times lately that I have to warn you that any repetition will result in your dismissal.W: I’m sorry. I’ll try my best to get here earlier in the future. Perhaps I could work later to make up the time I’ve lost.Q: What does the woman say?3. ScriptM: Mr. Brown, my time here has been frustrating for me. I have a better opportunity with another firm, and I’m taking it.W:We won’t be sorry to see you leave, Richard. You’ve done your best to make everyone here as miserable as you are.Q: How does the woman feel about the man’s leaving?4. ScriptW: Mr. Armes, I wanted to tell you in person that at the end of this month I’ll be leaving the company.M: Well, Sylvia, we are certainly going to miss you here, but I wish you the best of luck.Q: What does the woman want?5. ScriptW: Time, I hate to tell you this, but we’re caught in a budget crunch, and we must lay you off. I’m sorry.M: I understand. I’ve enjoyed my time here, and I’m confident I can find something else.Q: What is the man’s response?Keys: 1.B2.D3. A 4.C 5.DIII. Listening InTask 1: How to Avoid BankruptcyManager: Adam! 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. He suggests retaining the service staff and streaming their operations, so they wonneed as many people to run things smoothly.2. That is a serious step, but she thinks they haven’t any other choice. 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. If you have any problem, please feel free to call me.MODEL2 We have to let you go.ScriptHelen: Tom, the reason I called you into my office is your work.Tom:Really?Helen: The truth is ..I’m not satisfied with your job performance.Tom:Are you sure I haven’t been doing a good job?Helen: Tom, you’ve been reprimanded a number of times for being late and for using company time for personal matters. 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.

I hope we can find a solution thatwon’t require us t o lay off our loyal and trustemployees.Kathy We’d better give this issue more careful consideration.VI. 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.

Rather than saying "thank you", we Chinese tend to say something to show that we or the object we own is not that good. For example, we may say "哪里" (meaning "it is nothing"). But in modern days, many people have adopted the English way of responding to a compliment. They say "thank you" very often too.Reading comprehensionReading comprehension-11) Because she thought her Sau-sau just pretended to be polite. (Her Sau-sau ate up the dish in the end although she said she didn't want it at first.)2) They should say directly whether they want to have anything or not, rather than refuse for the sake of politeness even if they in fact want to eat it.3) It said that Chinese language and culture are very indirect and polite.4) They thought that she was not respectful if she questioned them.5) Her parents were very clear when they demanded her to do something, but Americans generally think the Chinese language is discreet.6) To support her opinion that to understand the difference between languages and behavior just through literal translation may lead to wrong generalizations. (OR: To support her opinion that it is dangerous to view the gulf between different languages and behavior through translation.)7) She feels that it is annoying because such a description does not express new ideas, honest emotions or considered thought.8) They answer "yes" or "no" by saying something specific to what is asked because there is no one word in Chinese for "yes" or "no".(OR: They express "yes" or "no" by referring directly to the proposition being asserted or denied.) Reading comprehension-21) I think there are three things we can do to avoid misunderstandings of foreign cultures. Firstly, we can look for information about those cultures on the Internet. There are many websites that introduce foreign countries' geography, languages and customs, so we can do some research online to get the necessary information. Secondly, we can visit foreign countries, which will enable us to experience their cultures in person and understand them better. Thirdly, we can make friends with foreigners who are traveling or are living in our country. Communicating with them in daily life will help us know their customs, and hence we are less likely to misunderstand people from their countries.2) Yes, I know some stereotypes of Europeans and European languages. Here are a few examples: French people are romantic, and the French language is beautiful; Italians are fashionable, and Italy has the best cuisine in the world. I have watched many moviesin which French people are indeed romantic, although I have never met any French in person. A common scene in the movies is that a French man gives flowers to his girlfriend or wife, or two persons meet by chance and fall in love quickly.No, I have never read about or heard of any stereotype of a foreign country, its people, or its language. I think people in different countries or cultures of the world have more similarities than differences. For instance, we all consider such values as honesty, diligence and patriotism important qualities of being a good man or a good citizen, no matter which country we live in or what language we speak. Hence, I think there are no essential differences between peoples or cultures, and I don't have any stereotype of any foreign country, its people, or its language.3) Chinese people generally use expressions like "possibly no" or "I'm afraid it won't work" to say "no" to others. This makes them less direct in giving rejections. However, when people with greater authority or power say "no" to those in a lower status(e.g. parents to children), they can be very direct and straightforward, e.g. "absolutely no".4) I will try to adapt my habits to local norms. For example, I will follow their rules of dining, body language and gift giving.I would prefer to maintain Chinese traditions. Modern people value cultural diversity, so, I think people of the foreign country I live in will respect my choice.5) I would like to learn Italian. This is because I love Italian culture, especially the arts of the Italian Renaissance period. If I could speak the Italian language, it would be easier for me to travel to Italy, visit its museums and appreciate famous art works. In addition, I'm very interested in Italian opera. Whenever I watch it on TV or hear it on the radio, I admire the beauty of the music and the language, but I don't understand the meaning of the lyrics. I always wish I could know what the singers express in their songs without having to rely on translations or subtitles. Learning Italian will certainly get me closer to this goal.5-3 Text A: Language focus Words in use1. fabricate2. nominal3. temporal4. reciprocal5. denotes6. consecutive7. spectators8. muttering9. composite10. maliciousWord building: Practice Word building: Practice-1 1) assertive2) decisive3) digestive4) imaginative5) consultative6) qualitative7) authoritative8) conserve9) quantitative10) unbutton11) unsettle12) unveilWord building: Practice-21. conserve2. unbuttoning3. authoritative4. consultative5. imaginative6. quantitative7. unveil8. assertive9. unsettled10. decisive11. digestive12. qualitative Banked cloze1) exterior2) insights3) complete4) course5) inconsistencies6) offended7) gestures8) ornaments9) sense10) distinctiveExpressions in use1. got to the point2. are attached to3. would have starved to death4.

This was the first time I traveled all by myself. I did not speak English well and had difficulty understanding people. Now, standing at the international section of the airport, I was nervous and scared, not knowing what I would have to face. As it turned out, I had the most frustrating experience of my life.I looked around, and nothing was familiar. A pile of questions pounded in my head. Where was the ticket counter? Where was customs? How could I find the boarding gate? The more I thought, the more worried I got.I tried to ask for help, but all my words came out wrong.I saw a woman sitting in the corner, so I went up to her timidly."Excuse, lady. Where ticket counter?" I asked in broken English, pronouncing "ticket counter" as something like "tin can"."Tin can? What do you need it for?" the woman asked back, with a confused face."Ticket, paper, flight," I yelled and waved my hands in a flying manner.She looked at me, even more confused. "Tin, flying?" At that moment, someone across the hall waved at her. She stood up in hurry and said, "Sorry, I can't help you. I have to go."I felt awful. I had been in this country for months, and I couldn't even ask for directions.After I finally checked in at the ticket counter, another problem came up: I could not find customs. My flight would take off in 40 minutes. I dragged my enormous suitcase behind me and came to an elevator.I had no idea which floor to go to. I got on the elevator and pressed button 3 randomly. The elevator slowly climbed up to the third floor and jerked to a stop. I came out and found myself in an empty lobby.Tears formed in my eyes as I thought I would miss my flight. Just then an old airport employee shuffled around the corner. Seeing that I seemed lost, he smiled kindly and asked, "Do you need help?""Yes. I customs," I said. Tears rushed down my cheeks. "Don't worry, honey. I will take you there," he comforted me. He took my suitcase and led me up some stairs. After arriving at customs, he led me past all the lines of people and pushed my luggage to the inspection counter.When I turned around to thank him, he was gone. I never know the wonderful man's name, but I will always remember his generous help. I hope that one day I can do the same for a traveler who suffers from similar frustrations.5-5 TranslationTranslationTranslation-1参考：文艺复兴是一场影响巨大的文化运动。

Uint5II. Basic Listening Practice8. ScriptW: Why do some people stay in one job for life while others switch jobs from time to time?M: Some people want a fixed routine so that they don’t have to adapt tot new circumstances over and over again, while others think v ariety is the spice of life.Q:According to the dialog, why do some people stick to one job for life?9. ScriptM: Kathleen, you’ve been late for work so many times lately that I have to warn you that any repetition will result in your dismissal.W:I’m sorry. I’ll try my best to get here earlier in the future. PerhapsI could work later to make up the time I’ve lost.Q: What does the woman say?3. ScriptM: Mr. Brown, my time here has been frustrating for me. I have a better opportunity with another firm, and I’m taking it.W: We won’t be sorry to see you leave, Richard. You’ve done your best to make everyone here as miserable as you are.Q: How does the woman feel about the man’s leaving?4. ScriptW: Mr. Armes, I wanted to tell you in person that at the end of this month I’ll be leaving the company.M:Well, Sylvia, we are certainly going to miss you here, but I wish you the best of luck.Q: What does the woman want?5. ScriptW: Time, I hate to tell you this, but we’re caught in a budget crunch, and we must lay you off. I’m sorry.M: I understand. I’ve enjoyed my time here, and I’m confident I can find something else.Q: What is the man’s response?K eys: 1.B2.D3. A 4.C 5.DIII. Listening InTask 1: How to Avoid BankruptcyManager:Adam! 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.Manager:We can give them a fairly decent severance package when they’re fired.Adam: I know. And I think that if we computerize the office, we could reduce office staff by about 20 percent just by eliminating a lotof 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 thingssmoothly.Manager: Well, this is serious, but I really don’t think we have any other choice. I f we keep losing money like this, we’ll have to shuteverything down.21. What is the dialog mainly concerned with?22. What does the man mean by ―make us lean and mean‖?23. What is the difficulty in cutting the administrative staff?24. What will happen as a result of firing the administrators?25. What does the man think will happen after they cut 20 percent of theadministrators?Keys: 1B 2.D 3.A 4.C 5.CFor Reference1. He suggests retaining the service staff and streaming their operations,so they won’t need as many people to run things smoothly.2. That is a serious step, but she thinks they haven’t any other choice.If they keep losing 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,‖H e 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 employeesin 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.19. What is the passage mainly about?20. According to the passage, when can one sense layoffs are coming?21. What is mentioned as a bad sign for the field engineering department?22. According to the passage, what do bad sales signal?5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a sign for you to updateyour resume?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 W e’re going to miss you.Susan:Excuse me, Helen, do 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. If you have any problem, please feel free to call me.MODEL2 We have to let you go.ScriptHelen: Tom, the reason I called you into my office is your work. Tom: Really?Helen: The truth is ..I’m not satisfied with your job performance. Tom: Are you sure I haven’t been doing a good job?Helen: Tom, you’ve been reprimanded a number of times for being late and for using company time for personal matters. 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! You r 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. Yo ur 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.Bill:What’s even better, your corporation is a well-known multinational, and it’s working 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?Atkin: The question suggests something serious, Pamela. What’s up?Pamela: 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 degreeprogram in my university. 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 giveyou a raise in pay?Pamela:Thank you very much indeed, and I do appreciate the golden opportunity. But I really need to acquire more knowledge while I’myoung. With a Master’s degree in my hands, I’ll be more competitivein the future.Atkin: In that case, I won’t keep you, Pamela. I just want to tell you that I’m sad you’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 traina 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’re all aware that nowadays market competition isbecoming more intense than ever before. If we want to keep our competitive edge, the only way is to offer excellent and considerate service to our customer and, at the same time, lower our prices.So, what I’m thinking is, maybe we could outsource the software side of out business to another company. But what impact will it have on our engineers? It’s a big problem. Mm, I’d be interested to know your 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 ategetting a bit too old, and their technology is a bit out of date. Worsestill, their salaries are quite high. Many professionalsoftware-designing companies are offering better products atlower rates. With outsourcing, we can give some of the engineersthe sack.Jennifer: Sorry to interrupt you. Coming from the PR department, I look at this issue from a different perspective. I think we should considerall sides of this issue 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 contributeda lot to our company. Some of them even started working here whenour company opened. I hope we can find a solution that won’trequire us t o lay off our loyal and trust employees. Kathy: I’m very much impressed by what you said. We’d better give this issue more careful consideration.VI.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 of medical 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 percent of 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.17. What is the first problem mentioned concerning joblessness?18. Which of the following is true of American unemployment insurance?19. Why do people accept low-income jobs?20. According to the passage, what problems might unemployment cause?21. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage? K eys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.D5.ATask 2: Before the cutbackScriptBarbara: I’ve really got to think about my future. You’ve heard of the cutbacks the management’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’t gotten a promotion in three years. I thought I should be Vice President by now. IfI were a man, I’m sure I would be Vice President.Alan: There’s no official company policy, but it’s true that they don’t promote 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, what 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.K eys: 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 been in 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 and 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 July Now we want to share this goldmine of information with you.For Reference5. She had experience as a career counselor who had counseled hundreds ofpeople about career changes. But when her husband’s lost job, they both were caught unprepared.6. They were unprepared to tell our children, unprepared for the mix ofemotions and most dramatically, unprepared for the sudden loss of routine in our lives.3. She saw her husband sitting in our office as he patted his foreheadand muttered to himself, ―Now what am I supposed to do?‖4. In the bookstore they found lots of books about job search, but nota single book on the day-to-day challenges people face when they getlaid-off.5. They had gathered enough interesting material for a book on careertransitions –the book we needed but couldn’t find last July News ReportU.S. Ford Plants to Be ClosedScriptFord Motor Company has announced plans to close plants ns cut more than 35,000 jobs as part of massive restricting[SOUND BITE]The announcement didn’t seem to come as a surprise to many Ford employees. .[SOUND BITE]Ford Chief Executive, Bill Ford, Jr., called the cuts painful, but necessary to rescue the world’s number two carmaker from going under.The planned cuts include22, 000 jobs in the U.S. and Canada.Certain U.S. models, such as the Cougar, Escort, Villager, and Lincoln Continental will be discontinued due to plant closings.Ford, Jr. said he would receive no salary until the company recovered. [SOUND BITE]Ford’s recent financial troubles reflect a complete turnaround from last year, when the company reported a profit of more than $6 billion for the year2000.The company was hit hard in 2001, when they spent $3 billion during a safety recall.When news of the plant closings and job cuts the workers, many reacted with emotion.[SOUND BITE]Chairman Ford, Jr. says that recovery will be based on getting back to basics in product development and on improving quality and productivity.。
