However, Quaker Company's income increases more quickly. What is the reason? First , Quaker Company spends much more money in advertising. I suggest we advertise on BTV, the most popular broadcasting station nowadays. Secondly , we should enlarge the scope of our after-sales service.

It makes possible the exchange of ideas between men possible as well as the transmission of ideas from father to son.Part Three. Questions 23 to 30.Interviews conducted by members of the ECE, (Economic Committee of Europe) with enterprises engaged in third-market cooperation have identified several areas in which problems occurred. Many of these problems are characteristic of the particular industrial sector in which the cooperation takes place and cannot be generalized to supply to other sectors.When vehicles and machinery made under cooperation arrangements are launched on new markets, substantial modifications may have to be made in basic features. Such changesmay be dictated by a lack of servicing facilities for the prescribed frequency of service for the standard model and an operating environment that is different form that prevailing in either of the partner's home markets. Since acceptance of the product in question by the client depends upon the manufacturer successfully satisfying his specifications, the partners must closely coordinatetheir ordering procedures in such a way that these changed specifications are communicated in time to the manufacturing plants. If the producing enterprise has a long lead time as a result of internal planning procedures, it may find it difficult to make the necessary changes in the standard model during the time available, to the detriment of its relations with clients in the third market. Clearly, this is an area in which effective managerial techniques can prevent such problems from arising.Rapid fluctuations in demand are characteristic of the market for many of the chemical products manufactured under east-west cooperation arrangement. In order to respond to such shifts in demand, the supplying enterprise must remain in close touch with the market, either directly or through its western partner, in order to adjust its production schedules to take these shifts into account. Otherwise it may find itself with large inventories of unsaleable products while its partner may be in the difficult position of hastening to find4nalternativemarket for the amounts no longer required by the target market.In the turnkey-plant sector, partner enterpriese often discover that they derive totally different results from using the same local subcontractors. According to several western plant contractors interviewed, while the eastern partner obtained complete satisfaction from local suppliers, the western partner found little cooperation, forthcoming long delivery delays, and other shortcomings. This difference usually arises in the case of developing countries in which the western firm has no experience and the eastern enterprise may have been active for many years. Obviously in such cases it is recommended that the western firm rely on its partner's established links with local suppliers instead of attempting to deal with them on its own.Consumer goods make under cooperation arrangements and supplied to third markets often pass through a period of poor buyer acceptance, which is due to inappropriate or insufficient packaging. Since many branded consumer goods are distinguished from one another at the point of sale mainly by their packages ,the key to the successful introduction of a new product in a third market is correct assessement of consumer preferences. This assessment can best be carried out in the market-place by using up-to-date techniques for measuring buyer response to package shape, colour and presentation. Which partner should be responsible for conducting such testing, and。

I have spoken to the students concerned as well as the teacher who will accompany them. They are a group of 40, aged between 13 and 15, and will be taking part in the visit as part of their career development program. - Too many -25 students at most.I would like to suggest Friday 10th December. The group will leave here at 9:00 a. m. and should be with you by 9:45 am. -Date is not good -Monday of the following week is better; time is fine. I understand the Training Manager is willing to give a talk to the students about the company’s training program. This will be of considerable value, and I think it would be most effective at the beginning of the visit. - TrainingManager not available until 11:30. Finally, would it be possible for the students to talk to some new employees in an informal “question and answer” session? -No, sorry! Can’t free employees from duties. I would be grateful if you could inform me whether these proposals are suitable and would like to thank you once again for your co-operation with the scheme for “School and Business Links”. - Please ask him to call us to confirm the changes. Sincerely, Mr. Burton Headmaster Dear Mr. Burton, Thank you for your letter of December 3rd, in which you made a detailed plan about the students’ visit to our company. We regret to inform you that we have made some changes as follows: First, we think that 25 students are maximally acceptable. Second, it would be much better if you could visit us at 9:45 am on Monday, December 13th instead. Third, I am afraid that our Training Manager can only give a talk to the students after 11:30, as he is not available before then. Finally, our employees are not able to answer the students’ questions, for they cannot be released from duties in the working time. I hope the above changes will not cause you any inconvenience. Please confirm our changes by phone, and we are looking forward to seeing you soon. Sincerely, Peter Jackson General Manager。

大学剑桥商务英语中级阅读分类模拟试卷READINGPART ONEASalinas outlines the key qualities of good management in this autobiography. He believes that decisions should be based on facts, not opinions; that people's strengths should be exploited; and that disagreement is some times necessary. But the main point he makes is that leadership means performing well at all times and setting a good example.BIn this collection of essays, top business leaders predict how businesses will change over the next few years. They analyse changes in business and society and their effects on job markets, as well as taking a look at possible strengths and weaknesses of leading economics and their currencies. This collection outlines a vision of tomorrow's business world and the type of leaders that will be required.CThis book is a well-researched study of the problem of leadership in global quoted companies. 160 international business leaders were asked how they added value to their companies and their answers form the main part of this book. Both managers and companies are analysed in order to show how they cope with difficult issues. A useful book for all senior managers.D100 well-known US business leaders through this century are described in this book, which analyses how their fortunes were made and sometimes lost. The background, business career character and personal life of each individual are outlined, creating an impressive collection of biographies and an excellent reference work.1、This is an account of one business leader's experiences.2、This book suggests probable trends in the business world.3、In this book you learn about the lives of business leaders from the past.4、The writer of this book gives his personal views of what makes a good business leader.5、This book looks at how large companies deal with various problem areas.6、This book is based on interviews with business leaders.7、This book describes both successes and failures.PART TWOAnalysing the EntrepreneurThe ever-increasing attraction of under-graduate courses in business studies demonstrates that many young people begin their working lives determined to be a success in business. Many of them will have ambitions of becoming bosses. （0） G. . That should be the question which all ambitious young business people ask themselves.Some graduates learn how to run a business in someone else's time, and then in their early thirties, start out on their own. That course of action is relatively common andstraightforward. 8 Often, however, their business flair comes at the expense of more mundane business skills such as team building and maintaining harmony.A recent study, in which seventeen successful entrepreneurs took part in in-depth interviews, as did a similar number of chief executives, concluded that honesty and strong moral principles are important characteristics of entrepreneurs who achieve lasting success. According to the various tests and self-assessment questionnaires used in the interviews, seventy per cent of entrepreneurs have these characteristics, as opposed to only twenty-eight per cent of chief executives. 9 It would seem that most entrepreneurs deserve more credit than people generally give them.This ethical style of leadership fosters a culture in which expectations are uncompromisingly high and in which people believe they will be properly rewarded for their individualcontribution. 10 Employees often complain that the worst kind of bosses are the ones who own the business, as they can be very intolerant of others who make mistakes.Entrepreneurs are passionate about their work but they have not worked their way up through the organisation and tend to lack the people management qualities that chief executives have developed over long careers. 11 Of course, it could be argued that the single-mindedapproach of entrepreneurs is what makes them successful; it certainly enables them to put extraordinary effort into what they do.The study indicates that generally chief executives can match entrepreneurs in terms of drive and determination. There is one exception and that relates to taking risks. 12 The chief executive can, on the other hand, always move to another company.But in the end, if there are no entrepreneurs, there is no work for chief executives. It is the people that start businesses who are the original wealth creators.A. However, it can also result in entrepreneurs being profoundly disappointed when others fail to live up to their high standards.B. They need to have the confidence to make everyone in the organisation believe that this is no ordinary place and no ordinary job.C. Given the common perception that entrepreneurs are only in business to make money, this very positive finding was perhaps the most surprising.D. They are less likely to promote teamwork and co-operation than chief executives, who are much better at reading and understanding those around them.E. After all, if it is your own company, you cannot walk away, and you will do anything either to keep it afloat or to help it prosper.F. But true entrepreneurs do not necessarily wait until their business knowledge has improved or until the time is right-they have always been driven to achieve.G. But is it best for them to become entrepreneurs and start their own business or work towards running someone else's?PART THREEThink Twice About Being First to MarketNew research offers fresh insight on when to launch a product or service, and shows that being first to market isn't always a competitive advantage.In 2004, David Cohen had an idea for a social network for mobile phones that would connect users in the real world. His Boulder (Colo.)-based company, called iContact, raised $600,000 from investors and the founders' contributions, launched a beta version, and seemed poised to tap the much hyped mobile software market. Cohen, then 36, had already founded a successful software company. But after 18 months, he was unable to get phone carriers to distribute his software, and he shuttered the company, returning 80% of his investors' money. "Everybody was saying mobile was coming, it was going to be open; GPS was coming, it was going to be great," says Cohen. "That didn't really happen for another four years." Bets on mobile applications didn't begin to pay off until Apple's (AAPL) iPhone app store opened the market in 2008.Conventional wisdom says being first to market creates a competitive advantage. Reality is more complicated. Market opportunities are constantly opening and closing, and a hit idea at one point could be a dud a year earlier or a yawning "me too" business a year later. It's tough—likely impossible—to pinpoint the best moment to enter a market, but common sense dictates new entrepreneurs can improve their odds if they weigh how much they stand to gain or lose by waiting.New academic research suggests one way entrepreneurs can evaluate whether they should enter a market first or wait on the sidelines. The decision depends on how hostile the learning environment is; that is, how much entrepreneurs can learn by observing other players before they launch compared to what they learn from participating after they enter, according to Moren Levesque, an entrepreneurship researcher at the University of Waterloo.The core findings on timing is this: in a hostile learning environment, entrepreneurs gain relatively little benefit by watching others. For example, if the relevant knowledge is protected intellectual property, studying the market before entering wouldn't yield much advantage. In these situations, the trade-off favours entering early. But in less hostile learning environments, where entrepreneurs gain valuable information likely to increase their success just by watching other companies, companies benefit from waiting and learning lessons from earlier players. IContact's successors, for example, may have learned from watching the company's trouble getting mobile networks to distribute their software, a barrier that was removed by the iPhone's app store.However, deciding when to enter a market solely on the advantages of learning is not enough. Entrepreneurs also need to launch before an opportunity closes. In the summer of 2007, Sunny Gupta, a serial entrepreneur in Seattle, began exploring an idea for on-demand software tohelp large companies track their IT spending and reduce costs, after a contact at Wall Street firm casually mentioned the issue. He spent that summer and early fall talking to chief information officers at Fortune 500 companies about the type of software they needed. Gupta originally planned to spend about a year building the product. But on a trip to New York in October 2007 to meet with CIOs at financial companies, he saw they were under intense pressure to cut costs and justify their IT spending—precisely what his product would do. Gupta realized he needed to speed up his launch to take advantage of the market opportunity before other companies got there. He and his co-founders started working around the clock and by November, Apptio (as they dubbed the firm) raised $7 million in venture capital. By March 2008, Apptio had four paying customers using a beta version of the product. A full launch followed in June, and Gupta had already demonstrated Apptio's ability to reduce costs by the time the financial crisis erupted in September. Apptio now has nearly three dozen clients and 30 employees. "I believe the window of opportunity was within those six months: from March to September 2008," Gupta says now.There is, of course, some element of luck. Cohen believed he was positioning iContact at a similar sweet spot in the market. But entrepreneurs who ignore timing, or assume that being first is always better, do so at their peril. Deciding when to enter a market is an irreversible and important decision.13、Why did Cohen shutter the company after just 18 months?A. His investors asked him to return the money.B. The software market did not get enough attention.C. He couldn't get mobile networks to use their software.D. His company had competitive rivals.14、What does the author suggest by saying "a hit idea at one point could be a dud a year earlier or a yawning 'me too' business a year later"?A. Being first to market creates a competitive advantage.B. Reality is more complicated.C. New entrepreneurs should wait for the best moment to enter a market.D. Market opportunities open and close constantly.15、What does "improve their odds" in the second paragraph mean?A. Increase the possibility of successB. Get a deeper insight on the marketC. Have a more favorable business environmentD. Develop more mature products16、Which of the following statements is not true according to Moren Levesque?A. Entrepreneurs benefit little by observing others in a hostile learning environment.B. Entrepreneurs are likely to succeed by waiting and learning lessons from earlier players.C. Being first to market or waiting depends on how hostile the learning environment is.D. In a less hostile learning environment, entering early has a competitive advantage.17、How did Sunny Gupta succeed in the market as a pioneer?A. He predicted the financial crisis successfully.B. His software was favored by chief officers at Fortune 500 companies.C. His software product was a breakthrough in the market.D. He grasped the right moment to enter the market.18、Which of the following factors does the article suggest that David Cohen is lack of compared with Sunny Gupta?A. Innovative ideasB.

Read this text about the problem of Barclays Bank.The New LookWhen Sir John Quinton, then chairman of Barclays Bank, was given his marching orders last April, Britain's biggestbank thought it had found the scapegoat for its sudden fall from grace and profits ,Andrew Buxton, the bank's managing director and an offspring of its founding families ,was a pointed chairman and chief executive ,with effect from January1st of next year. It seemed a glorious victory for good business management. Is the problem solve do Certainly not.1. No sooner had Mr. Buxton been appointed chairman and chief executive than bigshareholders and quite a few board members began quietly to question his ability to do both jobs at once. Now ,weeks before he is due to move up ,the questions are louder. Many wish the bank had seized the opportunity LasyApril to separate the two top posts. And privately. Some wonder whether Mr. Buxton is the right man for either one. What started as a thoroughly British Whispering Campaign has assumed much bigger dimensions..2. Mr. Buxton has suffered it all ,but in truth he has no way out. After weeks of talking to shareholders and discussing with his non-executive directors ,he has accepted that Barclays will separate the top jobs sometimes in the future. How7 He says that there has been no formal discussion of it in the boardroom.3. Formally or informally, it has been agreed that Mr. Buxton will not be moved from his chairmanship, and thatBarclays must find a strong chief executive. Opinions differ as to whether this person should be chosen from inside or outside the bank. Several board members believe that there is no ideal candidate inside Barclays.4. Neither shareholders nor non-executive directors want to wait long. If the right candidate can be found, the bankcould combine the announcement of a new appointment with its annual results at the end of March. Mr Buxton stressedthe importance of getting this next step right, particularly since any appointment will mean overturning a management reorganization that was announced only eight months ago.Questions 13-16.

A Take the example of St Coates College. 11 It targeted the children of rich Europeans who wanted to send their children to the UK to study for their pre-university qualification. 12 Business was good, however, and in the mid-70s the college decided it made more sense to buy houses in the neighbourhood to use as accommodation. 13 Over the next fifteen years their value tripled. 14 The profits of the business itself, after servicing the property loans, were, by comparison, only moderate. St Coates is not the only business to have made its money in this way. 15 But what has been lost along the way? 16 Now, meeting the demand for products and services is no longer of the same interest—all a person needs to do isbuy a property and sit on it for ten years.A Rather they have profited from huge rises in the value of property.B By the early 1990's it had purchased over twenty such properties.C It was founded in the 1960's as a college for the International Baccalaureate Exam.D Twenty years ago, before the property boom, people were making things and providing services.E The same model has been applied in many sectors and places all over the country.F During its early years it used to rent accommodation to house these students.G So the assets of the college increased enormously.Some of the following extracts from a transport company's annual report contain mistakes with tenses.

Usually the shortest board determines the volume of water a barrel can hold, and this is also applicable to the staff recruiting process.What's more, in the recruitment process, we can use a recruitment agency to locate experienced and qualified staff. After obtaining some information they can contact and interview latent candidates, check references, and select the best-qualified person for us.Lastly, when we make the selection, observing the applicants' interpersonal skills is indispensable. We cannot just focus on the academy awards of the candidates. We also need to ask questions to inspect the applicants' interpersonal relationships with people in the social situation.[解析] 本题需要发言的主题是“招聘员工”。
