2. Why is the fish never turned over?
Fish is never turned over as a ritual because of superstition in China. Especially in seaside areas, people believe it indicates bad luck or shipwreck.
Survey questions: 1. How should we place the fish dish on the table in China? And why?
In most parts of China, especially in the northern part of China, the platter holding the fish will always be laid on the table in such a way that the fish head points towards the guest of honor. At family meals, the head faces the head of the family. But in some areas, when fish is served, the tail should be pointed at the guest, especially in winter, because tail meat is supposed to be tasty in winter.

M: I can teach several different types of dance, including ballet, hip-hop, tango and jazz. W: What do you think is the most important ability for a dance teacher?M: I think a good dance teacher must know how to motivate students.

She works very hard to help the people there live a better life. The performance combines Miao folk dance and dress with ballet.“Ballet and Miao folk dance are different in techniques and the way the dancers move. Dancers have to make changes during their performances, which isn’t easy,” says one expert. For example, in several scenes, dancers need to jump while dancing on their pointe shoes to imitate bamboo dancing.“We’ve been trying to create ballet pieces with Chinese stories and traditions. This is the first time we try to perform a work putting Miao people at center, which is exciting,” says the president of National Ballet of China.Answers1 1 C2 D3 B2 1 T 2 F3 F4 TPassage 1ScriptsDancing is an important part of Mexican culture.One of the most popular Mexican folk dances is Mexican Hat Dance. It comes from mid-western Mexico and reflects how Mexicans feel about their past and rural lifestyle. During the Mexican War of Independence, the dance helped people understand what it meant to be a Mexican, so it soon became popular. In 1921, it became Mexico’s nationa l dance to celebrate the 100th year since winning the war. Today, Mexican Hat Dance is taught in almost every school in Mexico.For Mexicans, the dance is a way to show who they are and what they love. Their story is told through the dance’s movements in beautifully-colored dresses along with the cheerful music. The dance is performed by a man and a woman and the classic Mexican hat plays an important part. Usually, the man throws his hat on the floor and the woman dances around it. At the end of the d ance, the woman holds the hat up while both dancers’ faces are hidden behind it. Timing is the most important thing for them to dance well together, which has to be perfect.Answers1 1 B2 A3 D4 D2 1 T 2 T3 F4 TPassage 2Listening skills: Listening for opinionsFunctional language•I think …•To me, …•Personally, …•In my opinion, …ScriptsI’ve been dancing since I was two. When I was younger, dance was just for fun. But as I got older, I became more serious about it. Now, when people ask me what sport I play, my answer is always that I dance. People seem to think this is strange.I believe dance is a sport because it is similar to sport in many ways. To dance well, one needs to be flexible, be strong, not get tired easily, and most importantly, have a love for what they do. And like doing sports, you need to practice a lot if you want to get really good.But it doesn’t mean that dance isn’t an art. Dance is an art because it allows you to tell a story without words. You can change yourself into another character by changing the way you move or the look on your face. Also, with dance you are able to express emotions. It can help you relax and let you be yourself.So, is dance a sport or an art? The answer is both. I am able to express myself while keeping fit. And that’s why I love dance.Answers1 1 B2 C3 C2 1 dances 2 love; practice3 words; emotionsSharing your ideasPresentation skills: Moving the discussion onSample mini-talkToday, I want to share with you the story of Yang Liping.Born in a family of the Bai group, Yang became interested in dance from an early age. Bai people love nature and value the essence of life, so they usually express their affection for nature and life through singing and dancing. The first time she performed the dance The Soul of the Peacock, Yang said she felt as if spiders and elephants were all around her.As one of China’s most famous dancers, Yang Liping is known to many as the Spirit of Dance due to her performances, such as The Soul of the Peacock, Two Trees, and Moonlight. The movements in her dances bring nature to the stage: from a tree, a flower, to a fish, a snake. Her dances invite the audience to a journey to fairyland with colorful flowers, singing birds and running animals. She gives life to the image of those creatures with her emotional and expressive dance language and communicates with the audience.Viewing to knowScriptsW1:Most kids don’t know what they want to do when they grow up. I remember watching ballet as a child. They made it look effortless. I wanted that.W2:Ballet is work. The sweat, the pain …W1:It’s much tougher than what we show the audience.W2:That is something most people don’t understand.M1:It will test your limits. Everyone goes through a period like that where they really have to decide: Is it worth it?M2:Should I be doing something else? Something more secure? Something safer? But when I step out on that stage, there’s nothing like it. You don’t feel the pain. You don’t worry about the technique. It’s becoming something else.W1:If you don’t have that drive and pure love for it, I don’t think that it will work.M1:You devote your entire life, essentially, from a young age to being a ballet dancer. And then on top of that, a professional’s career is a super long thing.M2:If you don’t have the passion, you won’t make it.W1:And not a lot of people get to do what they love.W2:I …I wouldn’t want to be doing anything else I can … imagine doing anything else.M2:This is what I was meant to be.W1:There’s no other feeling (like this). And I want to come back and get that until I can’t anymore.M1:If you’re passionate about it and you’re willing to fight for it, then it’s worth it.AnswersPre-viewing1 Ballet first appeared in Europe during Renaissance. The main feature of ballet is that thedancers dance on the tips of their toes, which makes the movements and gestures of ballet very elegant. One of the most loved ballet pieces is Swan Lake, composed by Tchaikovsky in the 1870s. Its timeless love story mixes magic, tragedy, and romance, and that makes it my favorite piece of ballet.2 1) Yes, I will. Because I think ballet is a very beautiful form of art and it can help to keep mybody in shape.2) No, I won’t. I’d love to enjoy the performance, but I don’t think I can do the performancemyself. It takes a lot of practice for ballet dancers to keep balance while dancing on the tips of their toes. This is really difficult for me to learn.While-viewing1 A-3 B-4 C-1 D-1 E-2 F-32 1 work 2 pain3 passion4 meant5 come backPost-viewing1 I have a great love for skateboard.

Thank you.M: What dance class are you interested in?W: I’d like to learn Latin dance. What Latin dance classes do you offer?M: We have all kinds of Latin dance classes: cha-cha, rumba, samba, flamenco … You name it!W: Wow, so many different types! Which class do you think is good for beginners?M: I’d choose rumba if I were you. It’s a very slow, serious but romantic dance, easier for beginners to learn.W: May I have a look at the rumba class?M: Sure. The class over there is having a rumba class. Come with me.W: Look at those students. They dance with so much passion and energy!M: That’s the way Latin dance is supposed to be. Do you want to have a try now?W: No, thank you. They already dance so well. It’s difficult for me to follow the beat of the music.M: It’s OK. Join us and after a while, you will be a good d ancer like the others.W: I’ll think about it. Thank you so much for your help.M: You are welcome!Answers1 C2 A3 DNews reportScriptsThe Blackpool Dance Festival, known as the ballroom dancing “Olympics,” starts in Shanghai on Sunday. About 8,500 groups of dancers from 150 countries and regions are competing this year.“It is a great opportunity for us dance lovers to see the world’s top standards of dancing,” says a local woman living in Shanghai.This year’s festival also features judges and live bands from previous festivals in the U.K.Wen Zheng, a member of Blackpool Dance Festival (China), says that the purpose of this event is to let people in Shanghai enjoy the pleasure of dancing.Dance lovers are encouraged to perform beside the dance pool of professional competitions. Street dancers and line dancers are welcome to show their skills, too.Over the past two decades, ballroom dancing has become more popular in China as people try to lead a healthier and more active life.Answers1 A2 CPassageScriptsLooking back in time, from ballroom dancing to hip-hop dancing, ballet to jazz, tango to mambo, and ancient rituals to modern dances – dance has come a long way.The art of dancing goes back thousands of years. Dance was used in rituals and ceremonies by ancient Egyptians and ancient Greeks.During Renaissance, a lot of new dances were created, such as ballet and country dance.As time went by, the family of dance got bigger. In the 17th and 18th century, the techniques of ballet and other dances kept developing. In the 19th century, rumba, tap dance and waltz gradually came into being. In the early 20th century, tango came to Europe and soon became one of the most popular ballroom dances there.Later, modern dances came into our sight. Young people found their passion in jazz, hip-hop, disco, and so on.All in all, dance has always been a part of human culture. Today, we are lucky to have so many different kinds of dance to enjoy. The charm of dance is more than words can describe, so let’s enjoy this beautiful treasure of human history and dance!Answers1 A2 A3 DListening to appreciateScriptsDancing in the MoonlightKing HarvestWe get it almost every nightWhen that moon gets so big and brightIt’s a supernatural delightEverybody was dancing in the moonlightEverybody here is out of sightThey don’t bark and they don’t biteThey keep things loose, they keep things lightEverybody was dancing in the moonlightDancing in the moonlightEverybody’s feeling warm and brightIt’s such a fine and natural sightEverybody was dancing in the moonlightWe like our fun and we never fightYou can’t dance and stay uptightIt’s a supernatural delightEverybody was dancing in the moonlightDancing in the moonlightEverybody’s feeling warm and brightIt’s such a fine and natural sightEverybody’s dancing in the moonlightEverybody here is out of sightThey don’t bark and they don’t biteThey keep things loose, they keep things lightEverybody was dancing in the moonlightEverybody’s dancing in the moonlightEverybody’s feeling warm and brightIt’s such a fine and natural sightEverybody’s dancing in the moonlightDancing in the moonlightEverybody’s feeling warm and brightIt’s such a fine and natural sightEverybody’s dancing in the moonlight (everybody)Dancing in the moonlightEverybody’s feeling warm and brightIt’s such a fine and natural sightEverybody’s dancing in the m oonlight (everybody)Dancing in the moonlightEverybody’s feeling warm and bright Answers1 moonlight2 light3 bright4 fine5 fight。

These horrible scenes should give rise to our great attention. We must protect our eco-environment while enjoying the beautiful scenery. In order to keep a balance between tourism and ecology, the concept of eco-tourism, which intends to bring people closer to nature with as little disturbance as possible, should be advocated. Funding environmental programs and limiting excessive exploitation of natural resources should be done by all levels of governments. What we need to do is simple: do not litter; strictly observe regulations at resorts, and use as few plastic bags and boxes as possible, only by which can we hope to build a harmonious environment for traveling. At last, we should keep in mind that when we travel we should take away nothing but memories and leave nothing but footprints.

Let’s go and find seating on (错读成to)请外研社改正!an airline that flies to Copenhagen.Mrs. Green: Why not? We’re not getting any help from this airline.(Mr. and Mrs. Green leave the waiting room angrily.)(Mr. and Mrs. Strong are sitting leisurely at the coffee shop.

He knew that his wife would not be strong enough to do the digging by herself, but that she could manage to do the planting; and he also knew that he did not have any friends or neighbors who would be willing to do the digging for him. So he wrote a letter to his wife which said, “Please do not dig the potato field. I hid the money and the gun there.”Ten days later he got a letter from his wife. It said, “I think somebody is rea ding your letters before they go out of the prison. Some policemen arrived here two days ago and dug up the whole potato field.

He hired a group of engineers to study the situation. They suggested two solutions: 1. adding more lifts of the same type;2. replacing the lifts with faster ones.The manager decided that both suggestions were too expensive. So he asked a psychologist to study the problem. The psychologist noticed that many people felt angry and impatient because they thought they had to wait too long for the lift. However, the psychologist found that they had to wait only a relatively short time. It occurred to him that the reason they felt angry and impatient was that they had nothing to do while they were waiting for the lifts. He suggested a simple, inexpensive solution to the manager. This was adopted and complaints stopped immediately. The solution was to place a large mirror next to the lifts. (154 words)Exercise 1 (Online)Directions: Listen to the passage and pay attention to the reason why people have complaints.Choose the statement that correctly explains the reason.

They could have something to do while waiting for the lift and, of course, many people like to look at themselves in the mirror.2) Other possible solutions:a. to set up a picture gallery near the lift and change the pictures regularly;b. to put up-to-date newspapers on the wall;c. to open a small shop nearby where people can buy snacks;d. to put a shoe polisher (擦鞋器) there；e. to put a screen on the wall on which information about the stock exchange is shown;f. to play programs (e.g. news, short funny stories) on TV screens close to the lift.Part Three More ListeningPractice One I Can Have Her Here on T uesdays and Thursdays.Words Y ou Need to Know:constant不断的at each other’s throats激烈争吵therapy 治疗, 理疗resort方法therapist 治疗专家speechless 哑口无言的disbelief不相信TapescriptAfter just a few years of marriage, filled with constant arguments, a young man and his wife decided the only way to save their marriage was to try therapy. They had been at each other’sthroats for some time and felt that this was their last resort.When they arrived at the therapist’s office, the therapist j umped right in and opened the floor for discussion. “What seems to be the problem?” Immediately, the husband held his long face down without anything to say. On the other hand, the wife began describing all the wrongs within their marriage.After 5 -- 10 -- 15 minutes of listening to the wife, the therapist went over to her, picked her up by her shoulders, kissed her for several minutes, and sat her back down. Afterwards, the wife sat there--speechless.He looked over at the husband who was staring in disbelief at what had happened.

The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural preference, not an economic one. Knowing your own psychological space needs is important because they strongly influence your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, then it’s very likely that you will also provide separate bedrooms for your children. In America they train people to want their own private rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very rare in the world. In many cultures the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in a crib near their bed.The areas in the home where people meet also reveal a lot about psychological space needs. Some families cluster, and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little places where family members go to be alone.Although psychological space needs are not determined by economic factors, they sometimes have to be modified a little because of economic pressures. It is almost impossible, however, tocompletely change your psychological space needs. (213 words)Exercise 1 (Online)Directions: Listen to the passage and decide whether the following phrases express the main ideaof the passage. Put a tick (√) in front of such items.

Well,according to psychologists, it is--when you use the power of color.Here’s how it works: When you see a color, your brain sends a chemical message to an organ of your body, which pours the appropriate hormone into the bloodstream. So for instance, if you wear red, a color the brain finds exciting, it sends a signal which puts you in the mood for love.Blue has a calming effect on the nerves. Wear blue if you want to keep yourself cool during a busy day with the children. By contrast, orange creates a joyful atmosphere and focused activity. Also, yellow is a cheerful color reminding us of summer days, and it aids in decision-making. White, however, enhances brain power and a reflective mood. V iolet is also a color which stimulates the mind toward creative thought. As well, it increases intuitiveness. Green is a relaxed color of springtime buds on trees, like springtime it also enlivens tired muscles. (203 words)Exercise 1 (Online)Directions:Listen to the passage and fill in each blank with the information you get from the passage.Key to Exercise 1:The colors you wear can make a big difference in the way you feel. When you see a color, your brain sends a chemical message,releasing the proper hormone into the bloodstream. A case in point is red , which the brain finds exciting . It sends a signal which will create a mood for love.Exercise 2 (Online)Directions:Listen to the passage again and fill in the table with the information you get from the passage.Practice Four Sensitive EarsWords Y ou Need to Know:cast石膏lawnmower 割草机unhandicapped 无残疾的subject 接受实验者volunteer 志愿者；自愿去做annoy恼怒irritate使烦躁TapescriptTwo recent studies by psychologists suggest that noise can influence how nice we are to others. They experimented by giving people a chance to help someone in trouble. A person would see a man carrying two boxes filled with books. As the person came closer, the book carrier dropped several books. The other researcher observed whether the passer-by offered to help.When the noise level was normal, 20 percent of the passers-by helped. When the experimenter wore a cast on his arm, 80 percent offered help.But when a very noisy lawnmower was nearby, 10% of the passers-by helped the unhandicapped man, and 15 percent helped the man with a cast.It seemed that people were less helpful when it was noisy because they wanted to escape the noise. So the researchers set up a similar experiment in a situation where the subjects couldn’t leave.A student volunteer waited in a room before being called for the experiment he expected. The experimenter waited in the same room, holding some books. He dropped the books. The noise level in the room varied from normal to loud; 75% of the 52 students helped pick up the books under normal conditions, but only half that many volunteered when the room was noisy. Perhaps because of the distracting noise, the students didn’t notice and respond quickly to the book-dropping. Or perhaps the book-dropping further annoyed students already irritated by the noise, making them less likely to help out. (244 words)Exercise 1 (Online)Directions: Listen to the passage and the questions that follow and answer them briefly by filling in the blanks.Questions for Exercise 11. What does the research suggest?2. How many experiments did the researchers perform?3. What did the researchers carry in both experiments?4. What kind of people took part in the experiments?5.

It’s a new way of identifying personalities.Kelly: How?Janice:Y ou think of the four basic shapes—square,triangle, circle and rectangle and decide which shape you like best.Sue: I like triangles. They make me think of the ancient Egyptian pyramids. What does that say about me?Janice: The triangle stands for ambition and high achievement.Sue: I like that. What else?Janice: Y ou like to achieve. Once you decide what you want, nothing stops you. Also you like to give big parties for friends and love being in the center of the crowd.Sue: That fits me.Kelly:What about me? I like circles. That’s why I wear my blouse with the dots in it so often. Janice: The circle is a symbol of un ity. Getting along with others is most important to you. Y ou’re friendly, caring and a good listener. No wonder you’re so popular!Kelly:That’s nice to know. What about you?Janice: I like squares. This is supposed to mean that I like things to be planned and structured.Also that finishing things is important to me.Kelly: What else?Janice: It says that I prefer being with just a few friends rather than with a big group. That’s really true.Sue: Do you believe all of this?Janice:I don’t know but it’s f un to think about. (246 words)Directions: Listen to the dialogue twice and fill in the blanks with appropriate words according to the story.Key:It is fun to know that four basic shapes can be used to identify personalities. Those who like triangles are ambitious and like to have high achievement. These people like giving big parties for friends and love being in the center of the crowd. People who love circles and squares are different. Circle is a symbol of unity. Those circle lovers think getting along with others is most important, so they are friendly, caring and good listeners. People who like squares like everything to be planned and structured. Besides, they would rather being with a few friends than with a big group.Section IITV ShowTapescriptBob had finally made it to the last round of the $64,000 Question.

I usually enjoy working as part of a team and helping everyone work together. But if th e leadership is weak, I’m not afraid to take over in order to achieve the goal at hand.Q: What does the woman want to be?2.ScriptW: Good morning, I have an appointment with Mr. Davies at 11o’ clock.M: Yes, he left a message for you saying he’s terribly sorry but he’s stuck in traffic and is running 15 minutes late. Please take a seat and he’ll be here as soon as possible. Would you like tea or coffee?Q: Where is the conversation probably taking place?3. ScriptW: You don’t happy. Did you get that promotion?M: No, they brought in some new guy. I’m not going to hang around for much longer, I can’t assure you.Q: Why is the man unhappy?4. ScriptW: Mr. Jones is a self-made millionaire, and I’m honored to have worked for him for the past thirty years as his accountant.M: He must be pleased to have a loyal and faithful employee such as yourself. Q: What is true of the woman?5. ScriptW: Jane, we’re considering you for the new office manager’s position. W e’ve been very pleased with your work.M: Thank you very much.

But I’m not quite sure what you’re talking about.Joan: You’re fired. That’s what I’m talking about.Carl: I find that surprising, Miss Jackson. After all, I sold twenty-five percent more of our products than any other salesperson.Joan: Look, I’m not here to argue. You’re fired. Understand?Carl: I understand perfectly. I just wonder what’s going to happen to the contract I’ve been arranging. It would be a shame to lose it; it could meana lot of our company. And I’m the only one who knows the details.Joan: No one is indispensable. Just clear out your desk, and that’s the end of it.Do I make myself clear, Mr. Westlake?Carl: Crystal clear—apart from one small detail.Joan: And what, pray tell, is that detail?Carl: I’m not Mr. Westlake. I’m Carl Smith.Joan: Well then, that’s a different kettle of fish, Mr. Smith. I know you’ve bee n working late almost every night and coming in on Saturdays to get work done. The company is very happy with your progress.Carl: That’s good to know. I was beginning to think that I wasn’t appreciated. Joan: You’re doing well. We have approved your first salary increase.Carl: That’s great! Thank you! I’ll certainly try to live up to the trust you have demonstrated in me with this raise in pay.1.Why is the man surprised at the being fired?2.What is the second reason mentioned of the man to object to his being fired?3.What mistake did the woman make?4.What do you know about the man’s work performance?5.What does the man finally get?Keys: 1Task 2: Don’t be a lonerScriptLillian: 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.

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. So we're really looking for a featurey sort of piece for tomorrow's paper.Ayesha:Frenchay Hospital, which is one of our hospitals in Bristol. They're celebrating their 10 years of this head injury unit, and we've been invited up. We're gonna obviously cover and take pictures, and I'm gonna get to speak to people. So he was really giving me guidelines.Kevin:You know when you're doing your interviews, speak to people in some detailabout, you know, how they were injured in the first place, but then the treatment they've gone through. OK?Ayesha:Yeah. Excellent! Thank you!Well, I've just started writing up for my next, and just basically from the day. I've got to get something through, I think, by about four. Sometimes I come back and I've got so much going on in my hands. So I'm just trying to, sort of, just work it through. Deadlines are very stressful. But you have to meet them because it's important; it's part of what newspaper journalism is all about. You get used to it by getting the guidance, managing your time, but it's still scary. OK. It's all done. OK. This is the Bristol final. If I have a look at page 14, there we are, and that's my story. Exciting!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 thereport?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, 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.

英语视听说演讲稿Unit4

Good afternoon everyone, I want to share with you about some Japanese etiquettes.In the first place, I want to tell you about the meeting etiquette. First meeting attaches a great importance in many occations. When you meet a Japanese who is vital for you, bowing for the cerenomy is a essential manner. It is generally between 30 degrees and 45 degrees in bowing. Man bows while hanging down the hands on both sides of underwear. However, in order to show great respect, woman should make her left hand rest on her right hand in the front. While bowing, you should say “Ohayou”in the morning, “Connichiwa”in the afternoon, or “Conbawa”at night.What’s more, exchanging the cards is also important in first meeting. Japanese think that card is a represent in business. You have to receive everyone’s card, not missing anyone, and read them carefully. Also you should hand out you card to everyone, although it takes a long time.Japanese, both in formal occations or in informal settings, are focusing on their clothes. Men usually wear a suit and a tie. But do not wear black suit, white shirt and black tie because they are suitable in funerals. Women should only wear low-heeled shoes, in order to avoid towering over men.Calling Japanese must say their last name and follow “San”. For example, if I were a Japanese, you should call me “SenSon”. Communiting with Japanese, you should aviod the topic of age, marriage, income and the World War II. Japanese seldom express what they think directly. They often say “と思います”which means “I’m afraid that……”. Any criticism should be delivered privately, discreetly and tactfully, or else, just opposite to what you wish.To sum up, do in Rome as Rome does, but you need not worry about these cultural barriers since most Chinese are hospitable and amiable and will not mind your nonproficiency.。
