BEC中级听力第八课时3

BEC 中级听力第八课时 3The second company looked promising too, because they are based in the region that produces the natural resources to make our components.Everything needed for their activities is available on their doorstep.They have a good working relationship with the local mine owners, who are known to have good safety records. During my visit,the company went into great detail about the quality inspections carried out on the material before it leaves the mines.This company seemed to have no problems with transport – until I looked more closely. The factory is in a very mountainous region, about six hundred kilometers from the capital city.Passenger flights are fairly frequent, taking under two hours, but the journey by road can take days. The roads are really inadequate – the whole infrastructure needs massive investment.There is a seaport just over the border with the neighbouring country,which would certainly cut down on distance, but, as far as I can see, it might also bring other problem.We simple can’t risk depending on such fragile communications.The third company I looked at, on the other hand, is on the coast, with good access to the main seaport. Transport and shipping of goods are well organized and, in fact, they own a haulage company as one of their subsidiaries. The production unit is new –built and equipped with the help of investment from the Ministry of Industry. What’s more,company workers are involved in decision-making,and industrial relations are excellent.Perfect so far.Unfortunately,though,their finished products are not of the quality we demand. The specifications are right for our components, so no modifications in design would be necessary. But when I did a quick inspection, I found a higher percentage of faults than we’d be prepared to tolerate. If we chose them, we’d certainly have to negotiate longer warranties than those they’re offering at present. The final company I visited seemed to have everything, though. It’s ten years old, well established, located between the capital and a major seaport.The company has grown rapidly and has just modernized its factory, thanks to a loan from the World Bank, which has enabledit to install the most up-to-date equipment available on the market. The production unit is now fully automated,and efficiency is the company’s great strength.This company has a well-deserved reputation for the quality of his finished goods. Given their high standard, it’s not surprising that the costs are considerable,and they’re asking higher prices thanthe other companies I visited. But I’m confident we’ll be able to negotiate on this. The key point in their favour, in my opinion, is their ability to meet deadlines of a long-term contract. It’s easyto meet one deadline, of course – the difficult thing is to do itall the time.To sum up, then…。

Thank you for coming. Do take a seat.M Oh, thank you.F Right. I＇ve looked through your letter of application and your curriculum vitae. uh…interesting! I see you＇re nearly twenty-seven. Well, I think I＇d better tell you generally about the job we have on offer here. It＇s an important position. It＇s an assistant manager ship reporting directly to the managing director. It covers several of the aspects of our business—supervising the purchasing of goods and deliveries, pricing, special offers and so on. Anyway, I see you have some experience with one of our main rivals. Can you tell me something about that?M Yes, well, er, after I left school, I joined Sparton＇s Stores as a trainee. I was eighteen then.F Yes?M Uh, after the initial six months＇ trial period, they sent me to their retail training centre for a month. Then I went back to the branch in Marx Town. I then went to the night school for 2 years to get a diploma in commerce.F Uh, yes.M And I did a short computer studies course at university last summer as well. Anyway I worked in the Marx Town branch for another couple of years. I really enjoyed it there. But then Sparton＇s moved me to the city centre branch. And it wasn＇t quite so good, I＇m afraid.F mmm, why was that?M Well, I＇m afraid the general manager and I had different opinions. There was a terrific downturn in retail sales six years ago. Shoppers weren＇t spending much. Anyway I thought we ought to advertise our goods in our store more widely to draw in more customers. I had a few ideas, but we couldn＇t agree on the policy. It was a shame. I had hoped to move up to the deputy assistant there. But the job was given to someone else.F mmmM so I thought it was time to move on.F I see. Well, uh, could you tell me what you do in your current job at, uh, ah, yes, Town and Country store, isn＇t it?M Yes, uh, I＇ve been there for nearly two years now. I help with store displays and promotions. And I＇ve also been in complete charge from time to time when the proprietor＇s away at trade fairs and so on. But my main job is to do with the shop assistants—there are nearly forty, mostly part-timers. I used to supervise the cleaners and also the typists at one time too, but it became too much.F So why are you looking for another job, Mr. Benn?M Well I expect you know it＇s a family firm. And there＇s really no chance of getting ahead. The proprietor＇s son will take over when Mr Richards retires in two years. So I＇d like to get back into a big chain with a number of stores where there＇re more opportunities for training and promotion. So I must say the working conditions at Town and Country are pretty good.。

the first thing I do is get the kids ready for school.I take them at eight thirty and thin I always start work at nine.I Do you ever have a day where you decide to have the morning off and start work later?M No,you can’t do that.It’s important with home-working to have a timetable and stick to it.If you end up watching TV or doing the cleaning then it isn’t for you.So I have lunch at twelve and finish work at two thirty to get the children.I Was that why you gave up your office job?M Yes,I wanted to spend more time with the children.It gives me more flexibility.Sometimes I need to work in the evening but usually it isn’t a problem.I So how long have you been doing this kind of work?M For about five years.I’ve been with the same company since I left school but with the Internet and technology it’s easy now to be at home.I So your employer doesn’t mind.M No.It means the company saves money on office space and as long as I get the work done,they’re happy.Sometimes I still fo into work to meet clients and so on.For example,I’m going in nearly every day this week because we have visitors from another company and I can’t really invite them over to my house.Besides,the gossip and the news with my colleagues.I miss that side of going into work every day.I Is there anything else you miss?M Ermm.No,not really.And I’ll tell you what I really don’t miss and that’s having to spend two hours commuting on the bus and train every day. . .1.2 Starting a conversation (page 11)Conversation 1R=Richard W=Woman M=MarekR Hello?W Hello,Richard.I’d like to introduce you to Marek.R Oh,yes.Hello,Marek.How do you do?Nice to meet you at last.M Hello,Richard.Pleased to meet you too.W Oh,do you two know each other already?M Well,we’ve spoken on the phone a few times.R But we’ve never actually met.Anyway,take a seat.Would you both like a coffee?Conversation 2A Would you like a coffee?B Oh,thanks.A Milk?B Yes,please,and a sugar…thanks.A So have you enjoyed this morning?B Yes,it was very interesting.The first speaker was particularly good.A Is this your first time at one of these events?B Yes,it is.And you?A No,I’ve been coming for years.The company pays and if the location is good then I come.I remember the best year we had was in Monaco…Conversation 3M=Marie W=WomanM May I join you?W Sure.M You’re a colleague of Martin Obach,aren’t you?W That’s right He works in our Barcelona office.How do you know him?M We were both at Elcotil together.He left about a year before me.W Oh,are you Mandy?M Marie.W Marie.That’s right.Sorry,I knew it began with an M.Yes,Martin said you were doing this course and that I should say hello…Conversation 4A Well,this is nice.B Well,it’s quite simple but the food is vey traditional and it’s popular with the locals.On Sundays I often bring the family here.A That’s nice.How many children do you have?B Two.Twinks.A boy and a girl.They’ve just started school.A Wow.Twinks.B And you?A No,not yet.And have you always lived in Lille?B Yes,most of my life.I worked in Paris for a while and in your country,of course.But all my relatives are here.What about your family?A Oh,they’re spread out.I see my parents from time to time but my sister lives in Norway with her husband so we don’t get together much.Anyway,I know your company is looking for a partner on this Thai project.B Yes.Is that something you might be interested in…1.3 Exam spotlight (page 15)E=Examiner C=CandidateE And where do you live exactly?C I’m from a small town in northern Switzerland but at the moment I’m studying for a business degree so I live in Zurich.E What types of business are most successful in your town?C Err,well,I suppose that tourism is quite important to the area andthere are many small farms so agriculture also.Zurich,where I study,is more famous of course for banking and financial services.E How is working life changing in your country?C Sorry,can you repeat the question,please?E Yes,how is working life changing in your country?C I think that more and more people are moving to the cities or they are commuting in every day.In my opinion, the biggest change has come from technology-but then that’s probably true everywhere,not just in my country…Module 22.1 Benefits and incentives (page 16)Speaker 1 It’s great because usually it means my wife can use the one at home and we even take mine away at weekends.I work for quite a relaxed company and they don’t seem to mind how I use it for leisure.Speaker 2 I thought it wouldn’t change the way I worked after the first six months but as they got older it actually became more complicated with getting them to school or if they wanted to do activities in the afternoon.But my boss has been really good about it and some days I can do a half a day if I want and then I might work later on other days-or I take work home,which I don’t like doing,but it’s the only way…Speaker 3 It’s actually the law now so they had to let me have it. It was only two weeks but at least I had time to help my wife out.Mind you,after all the late nights and crying I was really happy to get back to work for a while and have a rest!Speaker 4 I’ve just been promoted from Assistant IT Technician to Chief Operational Network Administrator.It means I get a bit of a pay rise and new business cards with my name on.I’m not sure if I get my own office though.Speaker 5 The problem for me is that I won’t have enough to live in。

I see profits are right down again.Man: Mm. Well, at the moment the market’s sharply divided between those who want fashionable clothing, even though it costs a lot, and those who want to pay as little as possible. So by aiming at the middle market, Timtex doesn’t really please anyone very much.[pause]Three: Which graph shows the company’s sales?[pause]Man: … and despite a slight fall early in the year, WP Engineering have in fact done well this year, with a steady rise in sales up to now, which their Managing Director, William Peters, hopes will continue into next year …[pause]Four: Where do they decide t to hold the seminar?[pause]Woman: Where are we holding the seminar this year?Man: How about that new hotel in town?Woman: It’s too expensive for our budget …somewhere like the conference center is more suitable – it’s fully booked though.

[pause]Five: What does the successful business produce?[pause]Woman: These articles about new business are interesting.Man: Especially the one about the woman whose company sells a game she invented herself. Woman: Mm. She’s doing really well. The one that made soft drinks failed within six months. Man: Y es.

Fine, thanks .I’m glad you managed to find me somewhere so near the office. That makes things so much easier in the morning. But I have to say, the bed was so hard I didn’t get to sleep till two this morning.2. Pretty awful, actually .there was one delay after another and then I got stopped at customers .and apparently. My luggage is somewhere between here and Cape Town.3. Wonderful. I’m really enjoying it here and the people are so friendly .I’ll definitely come back for a holiday. But I’ll need a week at least next time.actually.I wouldn’t mind living here for a while.4. Well. I thought it was pretty good from our point of view, but I can see that some people might not be so happy .still; we got through quite a lot and made some progress. But I still think we’re a long way from a decision.Listening 2S1=Speaker 1 S2=Speaker 2S1 so. What did you think of the food?S2 Ok.but it was a bit too heavy for me.acutally, given a choice, I’d have preferred a salad.S1 salad?S2 Oh.yes.i don’t really eat meat.S1 what do you have at home?

Any better?-Not really. No. The more we sell the less cash we seem to have.-Yes, I know. It's called overtrading.You gotta have to figure out the quicker way of turning the sales and cash.-But how Babara? That's the question.-Well, did you think any more about offering earlier settlement discount?-Oh yeah, we talked about most of it. They sounds quite interesting. It seems that if we offer 1% discount, about half of our customers will pay in 10 days.-Well that would make a big difference of cash flow.-But if we offer 2%, 3 quaters of our customers will pay within ten days.-That's great! So why don't you do it?-Oh come on Babara, margin is small after all already. I don't see how we can afford to offer these discounts! If we give it 2% discount, we will loose thousands of dollars of the year!-Do you know how much exactly?-Well on average month of the sales on 25,000 dollars, it costs over 400,000 of the year!-What if you offer 1% and half customers use it?-Well it already costs 15,000 of the year.that's a lot of money, Babara!-But don't forget your financing cost, Steeph. Financing of cash flow gap means you pay for the bank on 300,000 dollars of interests. I will doubt that if you offer the 1% discount,you will save almost thousands on the financing cost.-So what are you saying is the real cost of the discount? Will it only be 500 dollars more?-That's right. And your cash flow for the month will increase by over 8000 dollars.And with the 2% discount,you will have extra 16000 a month.-Wahoo!That much!We could really use that extra cash, Steeph!-Mmmuh...I still think 2% is too much!-Then why don't we offer 1%?-Mmmuh. Babara?-Well, it's not my decision. But if I were you, Steeph,I will really think very seriously about early settlement discount.-Ok, I get the point. If you really can make that big difference, we will give it a try.unit04a1 The thing is ,When you buy a car,you're spending a lot of money so you want to get excited about what you're buying.Reliability and after-sales service are all very important,but they're not exactly exciting ,are they? I want my car to say something about me .I want something which looks sporty and attracts attention .I don't mind paying that bit extra for something that makes me look good.2 A lot of my friends have got e-mail so I wanted to buy a computer. I just didn't know much about them, and I found that all that information you get about performance and so on is totally confusing. And then I saw that advert on TV with those new computers. It showed how easy it is to get onto the Internet and send e-mail. So I went to a computer superstore, had a look at one and bought it straightaway.3 I thought buying a mobile phone would be easy, but it wasn't .You ask how much they cost and you get all this stuff about monthly service contracts and different tariffs at different times of day .It's almost impossible to work out how much they actually cost! Anyway,I worked out that the best deal for me was a one-yearall-inclusive package. So that's what I bought.4 I used to think that one refrigerator was pretty muck like any other. But thenI saw this TV programme about how much energy kitchen appliances use. Fridges are the worst, apparently. That's because they're on all the time so they're really bad for the ozone layer-all those CFC gases or whatever they call them . So I decided to get a fridge that doesn't give off lots of harmful gases .And it's cheaper to run as well .5 It's not even a particularly well-known make of video recorder but I had one of them before which I was really happy with. I didn't have much money when I bought the first one so I just got the cheapest one. I could find. But it was great.It lasted years and I never had any problems with it .So, of course, I decided to buy the same brand again. I mean, a friend of mine recently bought a really well-known make and it's been back to the shop twice already.Listening 2 and 3I Now you've set up Sainsbury's Bank, how do you market its products?D Well, the core target for Sainsbury's Bank is , quite understandably, the Sainsbury's customer. So, the vast majority of marketing is either instore or through direct mail. We've bought very little advertising space,but we do also use public relations as a marketing tool .I And how successful has it been ?D It's actually exceeded all our expectations. We've already attracted over 700,000 customers within 12 months of starting trading .I Really? And how does a new bank like Sainsbury's succeed in attracting people away form the High Street banks?D Quite simply by offering value for money and excellent customer service standards.I think Reward Points are another big attraction. With a Sainsbury'a Bank Visa Card, for example, a customer can soon collect a lot of Reward Points, which of course can be exchanged for air miles or other kinds of vouchers.I And what makes you think you 'll succeed in such a competitive sector?D Well, our key operational advantage is that, as a telephone-only operation, Sainsbury's Bank doesn't have the high overheads that a branch network does . Therefore, we're able to offer better rates . I think another important point is that Saintbury's experience in retailing means that its bank can apply a retailer's customer-focused mentality to the financial services sector.I Now some observers say that supermarket chains risk damaging their brands by moving into a sector which they have no experience of. How do you react to that?D Well, that assumes that supermarket will offer the same poor customer service as the traditional banks and therefore attract the same bad publicity. As I said, customer service is precisely our strength. We firmly believe that our commitmentto our customers will prevent brand damage.I Yes, other supermarkets obviously feel the same way and we regularly see reports about how they 're planning to sell computers, cars and even houses. How do you see the Sainsbury's brand developing in the future?D Well, the brand is continuously evolving and developing . The move into financial sevices is another stage of that ongoing development . When you look back at the history of the Sainsbury's brand ,it's already been developed in many different ways. Who could have imagined , back in 1869, that a small family dairy would grow into a major retail group operating over 800 stores? I've no doubt that the brand will continue to develop, but it's difficult to say exactly how.unit05aUnit 5a RelocationListeningA Amanda Ramone speaking.B Hi,Amanda.It's Bob here.A Hi,Bob.Did you get my report about ERS?B Yeah,and no problem.Now,you said you were contacting another company?A Yeah.I spoke to one this morning.Worldwide Relocation.And they look good.B And how well do they meet our needs?Do they stand up to ERS?A They're both pertty similar.Like ERS,they have a house search service...B And do they handle all the paperwork?Visas,work permits...?A Yeah,no problems there.B Ok,fine.Now what about transport?You know,removal,shipping.A Let me just...Oh right.Here it is.No,this is something Worldwide don't offer.B Whereas ERS do.Mmm.How do you feel about that,Amanda?A I don't know,but I don't think this as a major problem.I think it's something you can habdle fromthe Seattle end.B Ok.And what else?How about finding schoolsA Yeah.they have a school search service.And another interesting thing is that they run orientation and cultural integration programmes.B Mmm,sounds interesting.Amanda.So,what's your feeling on this?A Well,neither company meets all our key needs,but there's no-one else in the picture.B And in terms of cost?A In terms of cost,ERS are pffering the best deal.However,cost isn't a major issue here.B You know,it worries me that ERS offer no partner employment assistance.How about Worldwide?A Yes,and very successully.The guy I spoke to said that they can noemally arrange employment for the partner within three months.And as most of our people have wives or husband,...B Yeah.That's the main problem for me with ERS.A For me too...B Ok,Amanda,Well,you're closest to this.What's your view?unit05bJero: ---Jim: Hello, Jero.

I didn’t really feel I was abusing the system. I mean everybody does it. It was just a few small things really – a fax here, a few photocopies there. I felt it was justified. After all, I did do a lot of unpaid overtime and took work home with me. They seemed really pleased with my performance, so I honestly didn’t think they’d mind.2. My boss didn’t mind if I arrived a couple of minutes late in the morning but if I wanted to leave on time, well that was a completely different story. Well, aftersix months, I’d just had enough of it, working late every day of the week, so one day I told him straight, I’d only work the hours I’d agreed in my contract.3. I was having problems because I just couldn’t seem to proritise my work and organize my time. So I suppose it looked to my boss as if I couldn’t do the job. But it’s ridiculous really,. I could do it, but I just couldn’t seem to keep up with the workload. And this was a place where results were everything.4. I knew my turn would come soon. But I hated the whole idea of spending three hours in the car every day just getting to work and back. It was OK for some of the others, I mean. They lived nearer the new site. But if I’d had to work overtime, I’d never have got home before 9 o’clock. Well, in the end, I just couldn’t do it, and I wouldn’t do it, and that’s what I told them/5. I suppose they didn’t want to carry me any longer. I think people just got fed with having to cover for me and take on all my work when I was away. But it seems a pretty poor show to sack someone for something that isn’t their fault. I mean no one wants to be ill, do they?unit08aUnit08A Business ExpensesDavid: David Hopes!Roger: Hello, Mr. Hopes, This Roger Hargry from Accounts, I am just ringing about your expenses claim, There are a couple of things I need to check.D: Okay, what would you need to know?R: Well, you put down it was a business trips, but do you think you could a bit more specific?D: Yes, Sorry, it was actually a marketing conference.R: OK, And stayed in the conference hotel, but you didn’t put down how much it cost.D: Sorry, it was 80 pounds, that was for one night.R: I see, Now under client entertaining, you put 56.70 pounds for mile and drinks, would you ask to put down the name of anybody you entertained you know.D: I am sorry, I must have forgotten, anyway, the client’s name is Limbert, Pole Limbert, he is one of building suppliers.R: Could you spell his last name for me ?D: Limbert, yes, L-I-M-B-E-R-T.R: Right, thanks, oh, and this amount for 9 pounds are the other expenses, what exactly was that for?D: 9 pounds, let me see, 9 pounds, oh, yes, that was for a couple of faxes I have sent from the hotel.unit09aI Maybe you'd like to begin by explaining how Choices came about.D Well, we wanted to show tath PricewaterhouseCoopers recognized the individuality and diversity of all its employees. Flexible benefits was the ideal way of sending this message with massively increasing the firm's payroll costs. Also, after the merger between the two firms, Price Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand, we wanted a new scheme that both sets of employees chould identify with.I And what advantages does Choices give employees?D Well, it sounds obvious, but the main advantage is choice and the opportunity to change benefits as an employee's lifestyle changes.There's also a price advantage on many of the benefits.I How does that work?D Well, there are tax savings when taking certain benefits rather than cash. But the real advantage is that our size means that we can find the best providers in the market and then negotiate bulk discounts with them.I And how did you inform employees of all this when you launched the scheme?D We had to be very pro-active to ensure employees understood everything about Choices, from its concept to its implementation. We began by creating awareness with printed material, and then ran a series of countrywide roadshows.I Roadshows? Why did you choose roadshows?D Because they were the ideal way of offering employees a face-to-face opportunity to develop their understanding of Choices and get the answers they needed. People were already going through huge changes with the merger, so we had to expect some challenging questions.I And how successful were the roadshows?D Well, they were attended by 8,000 our of 19, 000 UK employees. ANd since then, research among staff has shown very high awareness levels and a very good understanding of why Choices was introduced.I And where did you go from there?D Well, having created awareness and interest, we then had to encourage employeed participation. we did this by making detailed information about Choices available to all employees electronically. Any employees needing further information chould then contact the Choices call center if they needed to.I From the feedback you've had so far, which benefits do you thyink will prove most popular?D Well, we don't know yet. But things like pensions and company cars are likely to prove popular. But typically, with flexible benefits, most interest is shown in varying the amount of annual leave. And I expect it'll be the same with Choices.I You mean people taking more days off?D Well, not just more. Many employees actually reduce their annual allowance in exchange for cash. It's just another example of the flexibility which characterises Choices - which, as we know from post-recruitment interviews, can be a real factor when people are comparing job offers.I Yes, I can image. Choices must have had a real effect on recruitment.D Well, it only went live in April, so it's still too early to say exactly what effect it's going to have. But with Flex, the old benefits scheme that Price Waterhouse used to have before the merger, there was a 30% increase in the number of candidates who accepted job offers. We expect Choices to be just as effective, and help us get the brightest and the best - both university graduates and experienced applicants.I And finally, what do you see as the main benefit for PricewaterhouseCoopers?D Well, for one thing, it should reduce staff turnover. Replacing an employee through an agency can be a very expensive business. But most importantly, it'll help define the PricewaterhouseCoopers image and sned a clear signal about out values to employees and job applicants. There's also the experience it gives us in running flexible benefits schemes.I What do you mean exactly?D Well, flexible benefts is something our consultancy service is asked to advise companies on. So Choices provides us with invaluable experience.unit09b1 We spoke about how things were going in general and then we finally got down to discussing my workload. We talked about how we could define my duties more clearly and she agreed that I could hand over some of my work to colleagues. So, hopefully, I'll now be able to concentrate on the things I was hired to do in the first place.2 My boss said that even though money was tight, they 'd support me if I wanted to study for a management qualification. She said that the company could subsidies the cost of the course, and she promised to be flexible about holidays. But the company woud benefit from the skills I'd learn anyway, so it's in their interests as well.3 It was very difficult because the company's been quite good to me, really. I mean, the conditions are good and I can't really complain about salary, either. But I explained I'd been here five years now and I'm still doing the same job. I also mentioned that I'd applied for a couple of internal vacancies but got nowhere. And on one occasion the position was given to someone who started well after I did.4 Well, it started off with the usual stuff. You know, he thanked me for all the hard work and things like that. But then he started on about missed deadlines and careless mistakes. The thing is, half of the things he mentioned weren't even my responsibility. I complained about the lack of support I'd had from management but he just wasn't interested. And then he asked me to write a full report on what had gone wrong. I can't believe it!5 All in all, the appraisal was very positive. The only thing is, of course, having such a successful year means that management gets carried away and expects miracles from you all the time. I told my boss that I wasn't sure we'd be able to repeat last year's performance. But he ignored me, of course, and produced this set of ridiculous objectives that he thougnt' d be an 'exciting challenge'. You really have to wonder sometimes which planet management's on.unit10aUnit 10a Marketing disastersListening1 It was my idea in the first place,and it did give us really catchy slogans like,"whenyou see this offer,you'll think you're seeing double".But what happened was achance in a million,and they'd all come by car!So what could I do?if we'd cancelledthe promotion,it would have caused a riot.In the end,it cost the companythousands,and it cost me my job.2 In theory,it was a brilliant idea,but I don't think anyone ever imagined it wouldattract so much interest.Looking back,I suppose it was bound to with big prizemoney like that.It wouldn't have been so bad if the questions had been moredifficult,That was probably our biggest mistake.Some of them were so easy,evenmy senven-year-old was able to find the anwsers.But the whole thing was acatalogue of disasters from stars to finish,really.3 It's easy to look back now and say we should have done this or that.but at thetime,well...I suppose it would've been OK if we hadn't allowed flat-owners toenter,but with a big promotion you don't want to exclude anyone,In the end,weoffered the winner money instead and tried to keep it as quiet as we could.If we'dtaken any publicity photos,we would have looked radiculous.unit10bI Donald, your consultency helps companies enter foreign markets. What kind of help are companies looking for when they come to KMP?D Well, companies usually have a specific market in mind and a pretty good idea as to which products they intend to export. BUt what they're not sure about is how to get the product into the target maket.I So what is the best way?D Well, there are many options, form franchises to wholly-owned subsidiaries. The higher teh degree of ownership, the more control you have. However, ownership also means more investment and, therefore, more risk.。

We have set up our own architecture partnership ____________. There’re no shareholders in the organization apart from us, the partners. A lot of professional people like lawyers, accountants and so on, work in this way.
Possible answer
Marie could benefit from going into partnership with Simon, because they would both have different specialist skills that would help the business. She could handle all the salon work, and he could manage the business affairs. This would allow her more time for herself, and give her the chance to learn the business skills she needs. He would also be able to contribute extra capital, which would give the business more flexibility. However, Marie would have to share the profits with Simon, and would have to consult him on any decisions she wanted to make. They would have to draw up a deed of partnership to make sure that profits and losses were shared fairly. This would be important, as a partnership has unlimited liability, and both Marie and Simon would be personally liable for any business debts. They may want to consider setting up a limited company together to avoid this, and have limited liability.

So what were the key questions the judges had in mind when assessing the finalists? One of the most important areas concerned how thoroughly a company checks what is happening in other fields in order to incorporate new ideas into the development process. Many of the finalists impressed in the areas. Natura, for example, had demonstrated genuine energy in searching for new ways of producing their range of speciality breads. They had looked at styles of home cooking in different countries, as well as the possibility of exploiting new production technologies in order to achieve equally good results but on a high-volume production line.What then occupied much of the judges’ thoughts was the quality of the links which the development team established with senior management, suppliers, the market and manufacturing. The best examples of the first category were found in small firms, where the individual entrepreneur at the top was clearly driving the innovation forward.Links with suppliers were also seen as an important factor, but not all supplier experiences were positive. Occasionally serious problems had to be solved where suppliers were working hard to meet specification, but the companies that the suppliers were using to adapt their machinery were not so efficient. This led to disappointing faults or fluctuations in quality. But in conclusion the awards demonstrate that innovation isn’t just for high-tech internet companies, You can also be successful in mature markets with determination and skill.知识点总结：如何扩⼤背景知识：阅读商务报刊背景知识考察点： 1）⼈新⼈的选择，executive 执⾏官的选择；员⼯的管理：激励问题、⼈员培训 2）公司的问题公司的类型管理；运作 3）公司的运作成本、产品的研发市场和营销安全⽣产 4）报告，报表Questions 23-30（真题集TEST3- PART 3）● You will hear the Purchasing Manager of a manufacturing company giving a presentation to senior management about four possible new suppliers.● For each question (23-30), mark one letter (A, B or C) for the correct answer.● After you have listened once, replay the recording.23 The advantage of the first company isA the size of the factory.B the company of the MD.C the production capacity.24 The speaker is concerned that the first company lacksA sufficient firm orders.B fully trained staff.C reliable distributors.25 The speaker was initially impressing by the second company because ofA its relationship with employees at the mines.B its access to the raw materials needed.C the methods it designed for checking safety in the mines.26 The second company has problems becauseA air transport has limited capacity.B the road networks are underdeveloped.C the seaport is too far away.27 The third factory visited by the speakerA is owned by a worker’ co-operative.B was established by a haulage company.C has financial support from the government.28 The components manufactured by the third factoryA do not reach the required standard.B are not accompanied by a guarantee.C do not match product specifications.29 The final company visited by the speakerA has rapidly gained a world-wide reputation.B has recently increased its production area.C has received a loan to improve technology.30 The speaker recommends the final company becauseA it has agreed to reduce its prices for large orders.B it can produce goods within the required timescale.C its products passed the inspection test she carried out.答案：23 C 24 A 25 B 26 B 27 C 28 A 29 C 30 B听⼒原⽂：Woman: As you know, the main supplier of our components announced suddenly last month that they were closing downshortly, leaving us in a very difficult situation.
