新世纪商务英语第二版阅读教程2:叶兴国unit12答案Unit12Part I Background Information美国“安全第一”网络银行成立于195年,是世界上第一-家新型的网络银行。
目前,全球已有超过1000家的银行开展网络银行业务。
网络银行是指依托信息技术的发展而兴起的一种新型银行,是基于互联网或其他电子通信网络而提供金融服务的银行机构,是金融创新与科技创新相结合的产物。
过去,传统银行业的优势在于拥有遍布全球的机构、代表实力的办公大厦、优秀的本土人才,其经营理念以富丽堂皇的高楼大厦作为银行信誉的象征,以铺摊设点、增加银行人员与客户面对面的服务为基础。
与此相反,网络银行这种全新的方式可以使客户不受时空限制,只要能上网,就能够在家里、办公室或旅途中方便快捷地管,理自己的资产,了解各种信息,享受银行的各种服务因此能极大地降低经营成本,创造巨大的利润,并最大限度地扩大业务规模。
据美国权威机构调查,在各类银行服务的平均每项交易成本中,传统银行分支机构最高.其次为电话银行,再次为ATM柜员机,网上银行最低,最高者与最低者相差800%以上。
在信息社会,网络是最便利的沟通、中介渠道,因此以高科技、高安全性高效便捷及低运营成本为特点的网络银行,将对传统银行业产生巨大影响,使整个银行业的竞争更加多元化、复杂化。
Part II Notes to the TextsText A What Is a Bank Really For?1.ATM:automated/automatic teller machine,自动柜员机。

宏观经济学着眼于经济全局——一幅宏观的画面。
在宏观经济学中,我们研究国家的政策目标,例如充分就业、抑制通货膨胀、经济增长等,而不考虑个人或者单个团体的利益和行为。
对宏观经济学的关注是为了从总体上认识并改善经济的运行。
微观经济学则关注宏观画面中的细节。
在微观经济学中,我们着眼于实际构成宏观经济的个人、厂商和政府机构。
我们感兴趣的是这些独立经济单位的行为。
他们的目标何在?以有限资源实现目标的途径是什么?如何对各种激励和机会做出反应?宏观经济学主要关注,例如,总消费性支出对总产出、就业及物价的影响。
很少关注消费性支出及其决定因素的实际内涵。
相反,微观经济学关注的是个体消费者具体的支出决策及其影响因素(爱好、物价水平、收入状况)。
宏、微观经济学的区别还反映在关于企业投资的讨论中。
宏观经济学中,我们需要了解决定企业总投资率的因素以及这些投资对一国的总产出、就业及物价水平产生影响的路径。
而微观经济学中,我们关注的是各家企业关于生产率、生产要素的抉择以及具体物品的定价决策。
了解宏、微观经济学的区别并非难事。
在现实社会,宏观经济的表现有赖于微观行为,而微观行为又受宏观经济表现的影响。
因此,人们只有了解了所有经济活动的参与者的行为方式及其成因,才能充分了解整个经济的运作方式。
但是,就如你会开车而不懂发动机的构造原理那样,你能观察到经济运行方式但并不能完全解开其中奥秘。

Getting the Most of Meetings
Text : A
One aspect of business life which many managers are unhappy with is the need to attend meetings. Research indicates that managers will spend between a third or half of their working lives in meetings. Although most managers would agree that it is hard to think of an alternative to meetings, as a means of considering information and making collective decisions, their length and frequency can cause problems with the workload of even the bestorganized executives. Meetings work best if they take place only when necessary and not as a matter of routine. One example of this is the discussion of personnel or career matters between members of staff and their line and personnel managers[1]. Another is during the early stages of a project when the team in charge of the project needs to learn to understand and trust one another.

新世纪商务英语第二版阅读教程2:叶兴国unit11答案Unit11Part I Background Information“物流”的英文是logistics,原意是“军事后勤保障”。
二战后,物流的概念被广泛运用于经济领域。
所谓物流,是指从原材料和零部件的采购、装卸运输、转运生产、包装、贮存、配送、销售到最终将商品送达用户手中的整个过程所涉及的各个环节中物品移动的流程形态。
物流活动包括用户服务、需求预测、订单处理、配送、存货控制运输、仓库管理、工厂和仓库的布局与选址、搬运装卸、采购、包装、情报信息。
现代意义上的物流发端于二十世纪五六十年代,成熟于七八十年代,只有不到半个世纪的发展史,但是物流产业被认为是国民经济发展的动脉和基础产业,其发展程度成为衡量一国现代化程度和综合国力的重要标志之一。
在当今的信息时代,随着电子商务的不断发展,全球物流产业有了新的发展趋势。
物流业已经成为经济全球化过程中最重要的话题之一。

新世纪商务英语第二版阅读教程2:叶兴国unit8答案Unit8Part I Background Information过去人们常说:“如果你制造出一种质量更好的捕鼠器,市场就会把路铺到你家大门口。
”现在这句话不一定正确。
实际上,最好的产品并不一定能够赢得最大的市场份额。
例如,在个人电脑领域,尽管草果操作系统比微软操作系统更加稳定,使用起来也更加容易,但它却在与微软的市场之争中败下阵来。
营销战略能够使大致相同的产品和服务的市场表现大相径庭。
美国营销协会认为营销是创造、传播、递送和交换对于顾客、客户、商业伙伴乃至整个社会具有价值的待售品的活动、惯例和过程。
“市场营销”这个词的原本意义是指到市场去,比如去购物或者去卖货物、服务。
市场营销实务一般被认为是一种创造性产业,它包括广告和销售,也涉及通过市场调查预见消费者的未来需求。
广告是沟通的一种形式,这种沟通的目的就是要劝说潜在的消费者更多地购买或者消费某一特定品牌的产品或者服务。
销售是-项涉及卖出产品或服务、换回钞票或其他补偿物的活动,它是一种实现商业活动的行动。
市场营销受许多社会科学的影响,特别受到心理学社会学和经济学的影响。
20世纪60年代,哈佛商学院的杰罗姆.麦卡锡教授指出,营销组合包含四个因素(4Ps):产品(product)、价格(price)、渠道(place)和推销(promotion)。
产品因素涉及商品或服务的规格以及该产品或服务如何满足最终用户的需求,其范围通常包括担保书、保证书和技术支持等。
价格是指确定一件产品的价格,包括打折的过程。
商品的价格不应该是随意制定的,它只是用来交换该产品或服务的东西。
渠道是指如何使产品到达消费者手中。
推销是指推销产品、品牌或者公司的各种方法,具体包括广告、促销、宣传、直销、制定品牌等。
值得-提的是,品牌对于营销来说至关重要。
品牌是一个能够把产品和服务与对其形成竞争的产品和服务区别开来的名称、图案、标志或者其他特征,它代表了消费者对于一个企业、产品或服务的经验。
