I am very honored to have the opportunity to address such a distinguished audience. My name is Monica Li and I am in charge of the PR Department of Oracle China.What I'd like to do today is provide you with some general information about Oracle Corporation and itslatest development in China. Hopefully, this introduction can help you gain a better understanding of our company.My presentation will be divided into two parts: Oracle and Oracle China. The presentation will last aboutfive minutes. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at the end of my presentation.I will start with Oracle, our parent company. Oracle Corporation, the world's largest enterprise software company, was founded in 1977 by Larry Ellison, Bob Miner and Ed Oates. Headquartered inRedwood Shores, California, Oracle employs over 42,000 individuals around the globe and has an annual revenue of 11 billion dollars.In 1989, Oracle formally entered China's market and became the first global software giant to openoffices in China. In July 1991, after nearly two years' hard work, Oracle established a wholly-owned company in Beijing-Beijing Oracle Software Systems Co., Ltd.-to better exploit and serve the rapidly growing market here. On August 8th, 2000, Oracle China formally opened its new office in the ChinaWorld Trade Center in Beijing. This prestigious opening showed the development of Oracle's long-terminvolvement and commitment in the Chinese market. At present, Oracle China has set up branches inBeijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu, providing Oracle's 9i E-Business platform and Oracle E-Business Suite, as well as related consultlnq, education and support services for the Chinese market.By speeding up the localization of products, applications, channels and services, Oracle has realized acontinuing and healthy development of its business in China.This is all I want to say about Oracle and Oracle China and I hope this brief introduction has helpedshed some light on our company. So, are there any questions you'd like to ask before we move on?Script:Hello, and welcome to Standard Electronics. I'm Geoff Bolton, the Factory Manager in charge of theplant you'll be seeing today. I know you have come a long way today, so we aim to make your tour both interesting and worthwhile. Before we start the tour, I'd like to give you a brief presentation about thecompany. It will last about 15 minutes and I will be using the flip chart. Since there's quite a lot to cover,I'd be grateful if you'd hold any questions until the end of my talk.As you can see, I've divided up my presentation into three main parts. First of all, we'll run brieflythrough the history of the company. Secondly, I'll tell you something about our main markets-this is important in understanding the production process. And finally, I'll come to the people-our most important asset.OK! Let's start with the history. Standard Electronics started out as a private limited company whenit was first established in 1985 ...Viewing Script:I'm sorry. I'm a bit late ... um ... I'm not exactly sure how to start this ... um ... 1 suppose I should startby telling you something about the Brewery. It's old of course,very old, and ... it was founded in 17 ... 1778. Yes, I think that's right. So it's a very old brewery and ... um ... we use traditional production methods and our products are very, very old ... very traditional. Um ... oh, we also do European type beer and, well, sales have increased a lot over the last year.Of course, we were a family firm. Well, in fact, we still are a family firm. As you know, the presentowner is Ralph Barrald ... um ... we continue to run as a family firm and this is important to the corporateimage. Well, in fact this is why we're here today to discuss the corporate image and decide if we ... well, ifit needs to change. We also have horses ... you may have seen them delivering the beer to the local pubs, yes?Yes, yes ... urn, production has actually dropped a little over the last few years, although profits have actually gone up and that's something we need to discuss ... 1 mean, can we continue as asmall, independent brewery?Anyway, that's about it. So ... um ... that's the main question today. So I don't know whether thathelps at all, but it's alii can think of really, so I, I'll leave ... 1'11leave ... 1 think that's that; so I'll leave it there, OK? Right.unit 7Script:On November 20, 2000, from Honda Motor Company comes a small, lightweight humanoidrobot named A51MO which is able to walk in a manner like a human being's. A51MO stands for "Advanced 5tep in Innovative Moblllty" It is an amazing product which can be helpful to humansas well as be of practical use in society.Compared to Honda's previous walking robot P3 made in 1997, A51MO is smaller, lighterand more people-friendly designed. P3 is 160cm tall and weighs 130kg while A5IMO's height isonly 120cm and its weight is reduced to a mere 43kg. A5IMO's special features include more advanced walking technology, simple operation and an expanded range of arm movement.In December 2005, Honda debuted its new ASIMO model. This model is 10cm taller and 11 kg heavierthan the first ASIMO. It can walk alongside its controller, and is able to movecarts and other objects around at will. And, with a newly developed total control system, it can act as a receptionist, or even deliver drinks on a tray. The new ASIMO is also more agile than its predecessor, as it is able to run at 6km/h, and even turn while running.In December 2005, Honda debuted its new ASIMO model.

自考高级英语下册Lesson 1 The Company in Which I workIn the company in which I work , each of us is afraid of at least one person . The lower your position is , the more people you are afraid of . And all the people are afraid of the twelve men at the top who helped found and build the company and now own and direct it .All these twelve men are elderly now and drained by time and success of energy and ambition . Many have spent their whole lives here .They seem friendly ,slow , and content when I come upon them in the halls and always courteous and mute when they ride with others in the public elevators . They no longer work hard .They hold meetings , make promotions, and allow their names to be used on announcements that are prepared and issued by somebody else . Nobody is sure anymore who really runs the company ( not even the people who are credited with running it ) , but the company does run .In the normal course of a business day …I am afraid of Jack Green because my department is part of his department and Jack Green is my boss ; Green is afraid of me because most of the work in my department is done for the Sales Department , which is more important than his department , and I am much closer to Andy Kagle and the other people in the Sales Department than he is .Green distrusts me fitfully .He makes it clear to me every now and then that he wishes to see everything coming out of my department before it is shown to other departments .I know he does not really mean this : he is too busy with his own work to pay that much attention to all of mine , and I will bypass him on most of our assignments rather than take up his time and delay their delivery to people who have an immediate need for them . Most of the work we do in my department is , in the long run, trivial . But Green always grows alarmed when someone from another department praises something that has come from my department . He turns scarlet with rage and embarrassment is he has not seen or heard of it .In my department , there are six people who are afraid of me , and one small secretary who is afraid of all of us . I have one other person working for me who is not afraid of me who is not afraid of anyone , not even me , and I would fire him quickly , but I’m afraid of him …The people in the company who are most afraid of most people are the salesmen . They live and work under pressure that is extraordinary . When things are bad , they are worse for the salesmen ;when things are good , they are not much better .They are always on trial , always on the verge of failure , collectively and individually . They strain, even the most secure and self assured ofthem , to look good on paper ; and there is much paper for them to look good on . Each week , for example , a record of the sales results of the preceding week for each sales office and for the Sales Department as a whole for each division of the company is kept and compared to the sales results for the corresponding week of the year before . The figures are photocopied and distributed throughout the company to all the people and departments whose work is related to selling . The result of the photocopying and distributing is that there is almost continuous public scrutiny and discussion throughout the company of how well or poorly the salesmen in each sales office of each division of the company are doing at any given time .When salesmen are doing well , there is pressure upon them to begin doing better , for fear they may start doing worse . When they are doing poorly , they are doing terribly . When a salesman lands a large order or brings in an important new account , his elation is brief , for there is danger he might lose that large order or important new account to a salesman from a competing company the next time around . It might even be canceled before it is filled , in which case no one is certain if anything was gained or lost . So there is crisis and alarm even in their triumphs .Nevertheless , the salesmen love their work and would not choose any other kind . They are vigorous , fun-loving bunch when they are not suffering abdominal cramps or brooding miserably about the future ; on the other hand , they often turn cranky without warning and complain a lot . Each of them can name at least one superior in the company who he feels has a grudge against him and is determined to wreck his career .The salesmen work hard and earn big salaries , with large personal expense accounts that they squander generously on other people in and out of the company , including me . They own good houses in good communities and play good games of golf on good private golf courses . The company encourages this . The company , in fact , will pay for their country club membership and all charges they incur there , and rewards salesmen who make a good impression on the golf course .Unmarried men are not wanted in the Sales Department , not even widowers , for the company has learned from experience that it is difficult and dangerous for unmarried salesmen to mix socially with prominent executives and their wives or participate with them in responsible civic affairs . If a salesman’s wife dies and he is not ready to remarry , he is usually moved into an administrative position after several months of mourning . Bachelors are never hired for the sales force , and salesmen who get divorced , or whose wives die , know they had better remarry or begin looking ahead toward a different job .Strangely enough , the salesmen react very well to the constant pressure and rigid supervision to which they are subjected . They arestimulated and motivated by discipline and direction. They thrive on explicit guidance toward clear objectives . For the most part , they are cheerful , confident, and gregarious when they are not irritable , anxious , and depressed . There must be something in the makeup of a man that enables him not only to be a salesman , but to want to be one .The salesmen are proud of their position and of the status and importance they enjoy within the company , for the function of my department , and of most other departments , is to help the salesmen sell . The company exists to sell . That’s the reason we were hired , and the reason we are paid .The people in the company who are least afraid are the few in our small Market Research Department , who believe in nothing and are concerned with collecting , organizing , interpreting , and reorganizing statistical information about the public , the market , the country , and the world . For one thing , their salaries are small , and they know they will not have much trouble finding jobs paying just as little in other companies if they lose their jobs here . Their budget , too , is small , for they are no longer permitted to undertake large projects .Most of the information we use now is obtained free from trade associations and some governmental organizations , and there is no way of knowing anymore whether the information on which we base our own information for distribution is true or false . But that doesn’t seem to matter ; all that does matter is that the information come from a reputable source . People in the Market Research Department are never held to blame for conditions they discover outside the company that place us at a competitive disadvantage . They are not expected to change reality , but merely to find it if they can and suggest ingenious ways of disguising it . To a great extent , that is the nature of my own work , and all of us under Green work closely with the Sales Department and the Public Relations Department in converting whole truths into half truths and half truths into whole ones .I am very good at these techniques of deception, although I am not always able anymore to deceive myself . In fact , I am continuously astonished by people in the company who fall victim to their own propaganda . There are so many now who actually believe that what we do is really important . This happens not only to salesmen , but to the shrewd , capable executives in top management . It happens to people on my own level and lower . It happens to just about everybody in the company who graduated from a good business school with honors . Every time we launch a new advertising campaign , for example , people inside the company are the first ones to be taken in by it . Every time we introduce a new product , or an old product with a different cover , color , and name that we present as new , people inside the company are the firstto rush to buy it ---even when it’s no good .It’s a wise person , I guess , who knows he’s dumb , and an hones t person who knows he’s a liar . And it’s a dumb person who’s convinced he is wise . We wise grownups here at the company go sliding in and out all day long , scaring each other at our desks and trying to evade the people who frighten us . We come to work , have lunch , and go home . We goose-step in and goose-step out , change our partners and wander all about , and go back home till we all drop dead . Really , I ask myself every now and then , depending on how well or poorly things are going at the office or at home with my wife , or with my retarded son , or with my other son , or my daughter , or the colored maid , or the nurse for my retarded son , is this all there is for me to do ?Is this really the most I can get from the few years left in this one life of mine ?And the answer I get , of course , is always ---Yes !…I am bored with my work very often now . Everything routine that comes in I pass along to somebody else . This makes my boredom worse . It ‘s a real problem to decide whether it’s more boring to do something boring than to pass along everything boring that comes in to somebody else and then have nothing to do at all .Actually , I enjoy my work when the assignments are large and urgent and somewhat frightening and will come to the attention of many people .I get scared , and am unable to sleep at night , but I usually perform at my best under this stimulating kind of pressure and enjoy my job the most . I handle all of these important projects myself , and I rejoice with tremendous pride and vanity in the compliments I receive when I do them well . But between such peaks of challenge and elation there is monotony and despair . ( And I find , too, that once I ‘ve succeeded in impressing somebody , I ‘m not much excited about impressing th at same person again ; there is a large , emotional letdown after I survive each crisis , a kind of empty , tragic disappointment , and last year’s threat , opportunity , and inspiration are often this year’s inescapable tedium . I frequently feel I ‘m being taken advantage of merely because I ‘m asked to do the work I ‘m paid to do . )On days when I ‘m especially melancholy , I began constructing tables of organization….classifying people in the company on the basis of envy , hope , fear , ambition , frustration, rivalry , hatred , or disappointment . I call these charts my Happiness Charts . These exercises in malice never fail to boost my spirits ----but only for a while .I rank pretty high when the company is analyzed this way , because I ‘m not envious or disappointed , and I have no expectations . At the very top , of course , are those people , mostly young and without dependents , to whom the company is not yet an institution of any sacred merit but stillonly a place to work , and who regard their present association with it as something temporary . I put these people at the top because if you asked any one of them if he would choose to spend the rest of his life working for the company , he would give you a resounding No ! , regardless of what inducements were offered . I was that high once . if you asked me that same question today, I would also give you a resounding No ! and add:“ I think I’d rather die now . “But I am making no plans to leave .I have the feeling now that there is no place left for me to go . Lesson 2 EvelineShe sat at the window watching the evening invade the avenue.Her head was leaned against the window curtains , and in her nostrils was the odour of dusty cretonne . She was tired .Few people passed . The man out of the last house passed on his way home ; she heard his footsteps clacking along the concrete pavement and afterwards crunching on the cinder path before the new red houses . One time there used to be a field there in which they used to play every e vening with other people’s children . Then a man from Belfast bought the field and built houses in it ----not like their little brown houses , but bright brick houses with shining roofs . The children of the avenue used to play together in that field –the Devines , the Waters , the Dunns , little Keogh the cripple , she and her brothers and sisters . Ernest , however , never played: he was too grown up . Her father used often to hunt them in out of the field with his blackthorn stick ; but usually little Keogh used to keep nix and call out when he saw her father coming . Still they seemed to have been rather happy then . Her father was not so bad then ; and besides , her mother was alive . That was a long time ago ; she and her brothers and sisters were all grown up ; her mother was dead . Tizzie Dunn was dead ,too, and the Waters had gone back to England . Everything changed . Now she was going to go away like the others , to leave her home .Home ! She looked round the room , reviewing all its familiar objects which she had dusted once a week for so many years , wondering where on earth all the dust came from . Perhaps she would never see again those familiar objects from which she had never dreamed of being divided . And yet during all those years she had never found out the name of the priest whose yellowing photograph hung on the wall above the broken harmonium beside the coloured print of the promises made to Blessed Margaret Mary Alacoque . He had been a school friend of her father . whenever he showed the photograph to a visitor her father used to pass itwith a casual word :” He is in Melbourne now . “She had consented to go away , to leave her home . Was what wise ? She tried to weigh each side of the question . In her home anyway she had shelter and food ; she had those whom she had known all her life about her . Of course she had to work hard , both in the house and at business . What would they say of her in the stores when they found out that she had run away with a fellow ? Say she was a fool , perhaps; and her place would be filled up by advertisement . Miss Gavan would be glad . She had always had an edge on her , especially whenever there were people listening .“Miss Hill , don’t you see these ladies are waiting ?”“ Look lively , Miss Hill , please . “She would not cry many tears at leaving the stores .But in her new home , in a distant unknown country , it would not be like that . Then she would be married ---she , Eveline . People would treat her with respect then . She would not be treated as her mother had been . Even now , though she was over nineteen , she sometimes felt herself in danger of her father’s violence . She knew it was that that had given her the palpitations . When they were growing up he had never gone for her , like he used to go for Harry and Ernest , because she was a girl ; but latterly he had begun to threaten her and say what he would do to her only for her dead mother’s sake . And now she had nobody to protect her , Ernest was dead and Harry ,who was in the church decorating business , was nearly always down somewhere in the country . Besides , the invariable squabble for money on Saturday nights had begun to weary her unspeakably . She always gave her entire wages ----seven shillings ----and Harry always sent up what he could , but the trouble was to get any money from her father . He said she used to squander the money , that she had no head , that he wasn’t going to give her his hard-earned money to throw about the streets , and much more , for he was usually fairly bad on Saturday night . In the end he would give her the money and ask her had she any intention of buying Sunday’s dinner . Then she had to rush out as quickly as she could and do her marketing , holding her black leather purse tightly in her hand as she elbowed her way through the crowds and returning home late under her load of provisions . She had hard work to keep the house together and to see that the two young children who had been left to her charge went to school regularly and got their meals regularly . It was hard work ----a hard life ----but now that she was about to leave it she did not find it a wholly undesirable life .She was about to explore another life with Frank . Frank was very kind , manly , open-hearted . She was to go away with him by the night –boat to be his wife and live with him in Buenos Ayres , where he had a home waiting fro her . How well she remembered the first time she hadseen him ; he was lodging in a house on the main road where she used to visit . It seemed a few weeks ago . he was standing at the gate , his peaked cap pushed back on his head and his hair tumbled forward over a face of bronze . Then they had come to know each other . He used to meet her outside the stores every evening and see her home . He took her to see The Bohemian Girl and she felt elated as she sat in an unaccustomed part of the theatre with him . He was awfully fond of music and sang a little . People knew that they were courting , and when he sang about the lass that loves a sailor , she always felt pleasantly confused . He used to call her Poppens out of fun . First of all it had been an excitement for her to have a fellow and then she had begun to like him . He had tales of distant countries . He had started as a deck boy at a pound a month on a ship of the Allan Line going out to Canada . He told her the names of the ships he had been on and the names of the different services . He had sailed through the Straits of Magellan and he told her stories of the terrible Patagonians . He had fallen on his feet in Buenos Ayres , he said , and had come over to the old country just for a holiday . Of course , her father had found out the affair and had forbidden her to have anything to say to him .“ I know these sailor chaps , “ he said .One day he had quarreled with Frank , and after that she had to meet her lover secretly .The evening deepened in the avenue . The white of two letters in her lap grew indistinct . One was to Harry ; the other was to her father . Ernest had been her favourite , but she likeed Harry too . Her father was becoming old lately , she noticed ; he would miss her . Sometimes he could be very nice . Not long before , when she had been laid up for a day , he had read her out a ghost story and made toast for her at the fire . Another day , when their mother was alive , they had all gone for a picnic to the Hill of Howth . She remembered her father putting on her mother’s bonnet to make the children laugh .Her time was running out , but she continued to sit by the window ,leaning her head against the window curtain , inhaling the odour of dusty cretonne . Down far in the avenue she could hear a street organ playing . She knew the air . Strange that it should come that very night to remind her of the promise to her mother , her promise to keep the home together as long as she could . She remembered the last night of her mother’s illness ; she was again in the close , dark room at the other side of the hall and outside she heard a melancholy air of Italy . The organ-player had been ordered to go away and given sixpence . She remembered her father strutting back into the sick-room saying : “ Damned Italians ! Coming over here !”As she mused the pitiful vision of her mother’s life laid its spell onthe very quick of her being ---that life of commonplace sacrifices closing in final craziness . She trembled as she heard again her mother’s voice saying constantly with foolish insistence :“ Derevaun Seraun! Derevaun Seraun !”She stood up in a sudden impulse of terror . Escape ! She must escape ! Frank would save her . He would give her life , perhaps love , too . But she wanted to live . Why should she be unhappy ? She had a right to happiness . Frank would take her in his arms , fold her in his arms . He would save her .* * *She stood among the swaying crowd in the station at the North Wall .He held her hand and she knew that he was speaking to her , saying something about the passage over and over again . The station was full of soldiers with brown baggages . Through the wide doors of the sheds she caught a glimpse of the black mass of the boat , lying in beside the quay wall , with illumined portholes . She answered nothing . She felt her cheek pale and cold and , out of a maze of distress , she prayed to God to direct her , to show her what was her duty . The boat blew a long mournful whistle into the mist . If she went , tomorrow she would be on the sea with Frank , steaming towards Buenos Ayres . Their passage had been booked . Could she still draw back after all he had done for her ? Her distress awoke a nausea in her body and she kept moving her lips in silent fervent prayer .A bell clanged upon her heart . She felt him seize her hand : “ Come!”All the seas of the world tumbled about her heart . He was drawing her into them : he would drown her . She gripped with both hands at the iron railing .:”Come !”No! No! No ! It was impossible . Her hands clutched the iron in frenzy . Amid the seas she sent a cry of anguish .“Eveline ! Evvy !”He rushed beyond the barrier and called to her to follow . He was shouted at to go on , but he still called to her . She set her white face to him , passive , like a helpless animal . Her eyes gave him no sign of love or farewell or recognition .Lesson 3 What’s Wrong With Our Press ?Newspapers have two great advantages over television . They can be used by men as barriers against their wives . It is still the only effective screen against the morning features of the loved one ,and , as such , performs a unique human service .The second advantage is thatyou can’t line a garbage pail with a television set ----it’s usually the other way around .But here are some interesting statistics from a little , and little known , survey by Mr. Roper called “ The public’s reaction to Television Following the Quiz Investigations “ . In it he asks everybody but me this question : Suppose you could continue to have only one of the following---radio ,television , newspapers ,or magazines ---which would you prefer ? Newspapers came in second : Forty –two percent said if they could only have one , they would keep television. Thirty –two per cent said if they could only have one , they would keep newspapers .Even so , newspaper people should be much happier than the magazine people , because only four per cent said they needed magazines , as against nineteen per cent for radio .But listen to this . Mr. Roper asked these same harried people :” If you get conflicting or different reports of the same new story from radio , television , the magazines , and the newspapers , which of the four versions would you be most inclined to believe ? “ Thirty –two per cent believe newspapers as against thirty per cent who believe television . But then something really strange happens . When Mr. Roper asked his guinea pigs which of these media they would be least inclined to believe , the newspapers topped the list . In a big way , too . Twenty –four per cent don’t believe newspapers as against nine per cent who don’t believe television .The fact is that although network television still allots too little time to the vital service of informing the public , it does a better job in that little time than the nation’s press as a whole . And when I speak of the nation’s p ress as a whole , I am not speaking of the five or six splendid newspapers ----and the one great newspaper -----which serve the world as models of responsible public information . I am speaking of the local press which in hundreds of American communities is the only news available , aside from those recitals of ticker tape that pass for radio news .Why do I think network Tvdoes a better job of informing than these papers ? Well , let’s get the partisan bit over with . Television lives on advertising to an even greater extent than newspapers , and since advertising is big business , advertising is by nature Republican . yet nowhere in network newscasts or network commentaries on current events have I encountered the intense partisanship , the often rabid bias that colors the editorial pages of the majority of newspapers in this country . Douglass Cater , in his book The Fourth Branch of Government , confines himself to only one pungent footnote on this subject . “ I have deliberately avoided , “ he writes , “ getting into the predominantly one-party nature of newspaper wonership . it is a fact of life . “ Thisparticular fact of life is a shameful one : that newspapers whose duty is to inform the American public give them only one side of the issues that affect them profoundly ---the Republican side . This is shameful not only for Democrats ---they have survived it before and will survive it again ----but for the maturity of our people . Some of the same papers which loudly extol the virtues of free enterprise and a free press are consistently failing to print the facts on which a people can form a balance and independent opinion . That balanced and independent opinion is our only real security as a nation .Now , very often , television coverage of news is superficial and inadequate . very often the picture takes precedence over the point . But by and large the news reports and commentaries on CBS and NBC and ABC make every effort to present viewers with more than one aspect of an issue , either by letting opposing spokesmen have their say , or by outlining the positions held by both major parties on the subject involved .Television also provides a wide range of opinion by setting up four or five experts and letting them knock each other down . What has the local press of this nature ?Fortunately for the American public , television does not tolerate the kind of distortion of fact , the kind of partisan virulence and personal peeve , that many newspapers not only welcome but encourage . In its entertainment , television caters far too much to the lowest instincts of man , particularly the lust for violence . But there is one appetite it does not feed and which the partisan newspapers of the nation do : the appetite for hate ---hate of whatever is different . I do not find on televison the kind of editorials chronic in the New York tabloids as well as in many local papers across the country .A newspaper has the right ----the duty even ----to assume an attitude , to take a position . But it has an equally sacred right to explain that position in the light of the opposing one , to document that position , and to bolster it , not with emotion but with fact .Here , of course , is where background information helps the public to draw its conclusions . TV does a great deal of this in the form of documentaries , and you can of course say that they have the time and the money to do this and you haven’t .
