(He thinks he is really careless.)Section Four Supplementary ExercisesGreeting and IntroductionsGreetings and introductions are an essential aspect of US culture. The importance of which can never be overemphasized.In social situations, a man is traditionally introduced to a woman. However, in the business world introductions are based on a person's rank or position in a company. Whoever is the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position. If you introduce two people of equal rank to each other, introduce the one you know less well lo the one you know better.There might be occasions wherein you will have to introduce yourself. For example, if you are meeting a new colleague or an associate, you might start off by extending your hand and saying "Hello! I am ... ' If you have been introduced earlier to someone, do not assume that the person would remember you and be prepared to reintroduce yourself should it be necessary.Americans shake their hands when first introduced to a new people. Rarely they shake hands while parting, As a part of greeting, sometimes, social kissing is acceptable between men and women and also between women who know each other very well.If you are with a group of English-speaking people and the conversation is going on in English, do not use your native or any foreign language for more than a few sentences, as it is not considered to be polite. Try to avoid using any filthy, sexually explicit stories or jokes. When you are in a theatre, it's not polite to talk or whisper during the performance.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.I.B 2. D 3. D 4. C 5. B 6. B 7. D 8. BAmerican IndiansThe native people of North and South America were given the name "Indians" by the explorer Christopher Columbus. He thought he had reached a place called the Indies. In time, the terms American Indian and Indian became widely used. About 2,000,000 native Americans live in the United States today. Some Indians live on government lands called reservations, or on tribal lands. Others live in cities.Traditional culture remains strong in areas where large numbers of Indians live. But many native Americans worry that their cultural traditions will be lost as young people leave these areas for economic reasons.The economic situation of American Indians as a group is not good. About 50% of those who live on reservations have no jobs. Those who do have jobs earn less than other Americans. Most Indians hold low-paying unskilled jobs. Indians have many health problems and do not live as longas other Americans. But the situation is improving as more Indians are becoming educated. Today, most native Americans graduate from high school. At least 9% of all Indians 25 years old or older have finished college.The economic situation also has improved as native American tribes create businesses on their lands. One example is the Pequot tribe of the northeast. The tribe owns and operates a hotel, gambling casino, and a museum of its culture and history. Today, American Indians are trying to control their land without interference from the government. This includes control over hunting and fishing rights, and mining operations. They are trying to protect their land from pollution. And they are taking legal action to regain lost lands or to receive payment for them. American Indians are trying to change their economic situation, improve their lives and honor their culture.Exercise: Listen to the passage about the American Indians and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1.C2. C3. D4. A5. C6. B。

Every day after school they had gone down to field behind the pub to see what was happening.First the men had put up the big tent and thenmoved in all the seats,and finally they had fixed the coloured lights round the outside of the tent.In another part of the field,the children watched as the animals were fed and exercised . Sometimes, to their delight ,two young wome n stood on the horses’ backs and galloped round and round. But the most exciting moment of all was when the trainer allowed them to watch him go into the lion’s cage. The children were sure he would be attacked, but he came out again unhurt and smiling. At last the opening night came round.Then the most terrible thing happened;their mother forbade them to go because she said it was unkind to put animals in a circus.The children were unable to make her change her mind,and they had to sit at home while the music and lights in the field reminded them of what they were missing.Section FourPart1 Greetings and IntroductionsGreetings and introductions are an essential aspect of US culture.Their importance can never be overemphasized.In social situations,a man is traditionally introduced to a woman. However,in the business world is the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position.If you introduce two people of equal rank to each other,introduce the oneyou know less well to the one you know better.There might be occasions where in you will have to introduce yourself.For example,if you are meeting a new colleague or an associate,you might start off by extending your hand and saying “Hello!I am…” If you have been introduced ear lier to someone,do not assume that the person would remember you and be prepared to reintroduce yourself should it be necessary.Americans shake their hands when first introduced to a new person.Rarely they shake hands while parting.As a part of greeting,sometimes,social kissing is acceptable between men and women and also between women who know each other very well.

About 2,000,000 native Americans live in the United States today. Others live in cities.Traditional culture remains strong in areas where large numbers of Indians live.But many Americans worry that their cultural traditions will be lost as young people leave these areas for economic reasons.The economic situation of American Indians as a group is not good. About 50% of those who live on reservations have no job. Those who do have jobs earn less than other Americans.Most Indians hold low-paying unskilled jobs. Indians have many health problems and do not live as long as other Americans.But the situation is improving as more Indians are becoming educated. Today, most native Americans graduate from high school.At least 9% of all Indians 25 years old or older have finished college.The economic situation also has improved as native American tribes create businesses on their lands.One example is the Pequot tribe of the northeast. The tribe owns and operates a hotel,a gambling casino,and a museum of its culture and history . Today,American Indians are trying to control their land without interference from the government. This includes control over hunting and fishing rights,and mining operations,This includescontrol over hunting and fishing rights, and mining operations.They are trying to protect their land from pollution. And they are taking legal action to regain lost lands or to receive payment for them.American Indians are trying to change their economic situation,improve their lives and honor their culture.Key:CCDACBPart2I work in a small office from 9 till 5 Monday to Friday.

Unit 1- Lesson 1Audio Script：McDonald’s Corporation (MCD) is one of the leading fast-food restaurant chains in the world, touching the lives of people every day. As the world’s largest chain of restaurants, it primarily sells hamburgers, chicken, french fries, milkshakes, soft drinks, etc.The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald. Initially, they just owned a hotdog stand. But after establishing the restaurant they served around 25 items, which were mostly barbecued. It became a popular and profitable teen hangout.Their introduction of the “Speed Service System” in 1948 established the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant. The present corporation dates its founding to the opening of a franchised restaurant by Ray Kroc on April 15, 1955.In effect, Kroc opened his first and the overall ninth restaurant in Chicago, Illinois, and gave birth to McDonald’s Corporation. In 1958, the restaurant chain sold its 100 millionth hamburger. In 1960, Kroc renamed his company as “McDonald’s Corporation”. In 1961, Kroc convinced the McDonald brothers to sell the business rights to him in the company. Thus he purchased the brothers’ equity for a sum of $2.7million and led to its worldwide expansion.As McDonald’s expa nds successfully into many international markets, the company became a symbol of globalization and the spread of the American way of life. Its prominence also made it a frequent subject of public debates about obesity, corporate ethics and consumer responsibility. Video ScriptTanya: It’s the fast food chain with the iconic golden arches that have been spotted all over the world. Yes, we are talking about McDonald’s. But did you know McDonald’s, year after year, is voted one of the best places to work? We’r e looking today at this all-American company and what we can learn from its success. We’re joined by Paul Facella, author of the book, Everything I Know About Business, I Learned At McDonald’s: The Seven Leadership Principles That Drive Breakout Success. P aul was a former McDonald’s executive who has the behind-the-scenes story on the world’s most successful restaurant organization. Hi there, Paul. Thanks for joining us. Paul: Thank you, Tanya. Nice to be here.Tanya: Now, while you no longer work for McDon ald’s, I understand that the company has had a huge impact on your life. Tell us why you decided to write a book on business lessons that you learned from a fast food chain.Paul: Sure. Well, not only myself but literally hundreds of thousands of people that went to the McDonald’s system and were guided by a lot of the principles. When I left McDonald’s, I went into consulting and, and one of the surprises I had was many of the organizations, both large and small, was the fact that some of the basic principles, some of the foundations that good organizations need to be successful, weren’t there. And I was constantly being asked about, “Well, tell me how you did in McDonald’s”. And my thinking was, “Gee, I’ll write a book about it and help my client base and I’ll be able to help them move forward with it.” So that was the thinking behind it. …….Tanya: Well, we’re gonna get into some of those secrets of success. I wanna start by asking you, you know, obviously a lot of people know McDonald’s for their burgers and Big Macs. But, I’m sure a lot people will be surprised to know that it has one of the highest corporate employee retention rates of any company, I mean people assume, fast food chain, people just want to get in and get out. What makes McDonald’s so suc cessful?Paul: I think, I think there’s a number of factors, but I think the retention piece is about McDonald’s, when you work, there it’s really about a meritocracy. It is about advancement that is based on achievement. And from the first crew person moving in all the way up to store manager, all the way up to the present CEO, Jim Skinner, who was a crew person 35 years ago and moved into, after 35 years, moved into the CEO ranks. So it’s always been a progression of opportunity for people, and I think that's one of the great things that keeps folks there. Every CEO has gone through the ranks.Tanya: Is there any crossover from those who work on the server side to the executive side, or you have to go back to school for that?Paul: Oh, no, all the time, I mean, I started as a 16-year-old crew person. Mike Quinlan, who’s a CEO for 14 years started in the mail room, so there’s plenty of crossoverUnit1- Lesson2Audio Script：Since setting up the first McDonald’s in China, the Western restaurant chain has bee n expanding steadily and successfully. So far, other than the home market – the United States – China is the No.1 growth market for McDonald’s, with over 1000 restaurants and over 60,000 employees.China also represents one third of all capital expenditures in the Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa region, where the fast-food giant is in 37 markets. According to Skinner, vice-chairman and CEO of this world’s largest fast-food company, “We’ve been steadily growing with China for the past 20 years and are very excited for what the future holds,” he says.In 1990, McDonald’s chose Shenzhen, a pioneer Special Economic Zone in Guangdong province bordering Hong Kong, to open its first 500-seat store in the developing market. McDonald’s quickly won over the local consumers, due to its many attractions like its Ronald McDonald clown, Golden Arches or the yellow “M” logo, Big Mac, the smiling attendants and the quick service. The success of the Shenzhen outlet prompted McDonald’s to expand its chain nationwide. And McDonald’s has not stopped from aggressively increasing the number of its outlets in China. The mainland’s fast-food market is growing at a rate of 16 percent per year.“We are going to continue our growth at a faster rate in China. China is a huge market with great opportunities for businesses around the world, and it's no different for McDonald’s,” Skinner adds.Video Script：Tanya: And in your book, you’ve broken down some of the keys, the fundamental keys of McDonald’s success, in terms that can be applied to other companies. So, let’s go through these one by one. The first you say is honesty and integrity, and this obviously comes at a time when so many people have lost trust in Wall Street. How can we apply this?Paul: Yeah, I think, it’s, well, honesty and integrity started very early on with Ray Kroc who started the McDonald’s system in 1955, and back then franchises wer e just starting to proliferate, and there were not a lot of laws about how they would conduct businesses. And one of the things was done, sadly, was that many of those franchisors would take commissions back from suppliers that supplied the franchisees pro duct. From the beginning, that's now how we’re gonna do businesses. We’re gonna have integrity, we’re gonna be honest with our franchisees, I wanna the franchisees to make the first dollar, I’ll make the second dollar, and that kind of got into the DNA very early. And to this day, there is a wonderful relationship of integrity and honesty with our relationships with our operators, with our vendors.Tanya: And I would imagine that motivates everybody because you feel like if you do well, you will get rewarded.Paul: That’s correct. Absolutely, no question about that. How important everybody working together as a team is!Tanya: Right, and another secret to McDonalds’ success, I understand, is relationships, and the company apparently promotes the idea that relationships are sort of the secret sauce, as, if you will, and everyone who works for the company is a part of an extended family, is that right?Paul: The Mcfamily!Tanya: Yeah.Paul: It's a great safe way from honesty and integrity. If you start with the foundation of honesty [and] integrity, it goes right into relationships. And Fred Turner, who is still to this day, 54 years later, is active, was actually the one that coined the phrase “the three-legged stool”. What it really meant was, that there were three legs in our relationship: the franchisees, the suppliers and the company people. And all of us pulling together, and working together as a team and the synergy of that team, is how it will be successful. And if you think about that, you know how important that is, that you really don’t want to let your team members down and you want them to be successful.Tanya: Sure, and every leg of the stool is only as strong as the other leg, right?Paul: Absolutely.Tanya: And another secret is the idea of stan dards. One of the McDonalds’ mottos, apparently, is never be satisfied? [Yes.] Tell us about the company’s no excuses working environment.Paul: Yeah, well, standards are very important and you know is – in order to have a standard, you have that measurement, and if it’s worth doing, it’s worth measuring. And every time you measure something, performance improves because people have a guideline –they know where they’re going, and that, that’s actually part of even the people side of that. The meritocracy wasn’t based on anything, but clear metrics on how you advance through the ranks on that. But it was never satisfied, we always felt we could do it harder, quicker, faster. And that stayed one step ahead of the competition and kept our franchisees the best in the system.。
