You’re struggling to keep up on all fronts, and the people side of things can be a real headache. What we do is rather specialised, which means you can’t just take people on as and when you need them. That’s why making the skills building sessions available to more people was a good idea, as it means we can grow expertise internally.13．—You will hear five short recordings about improvements in the workplace.—For each recording, decide What improvement has been made.—Write one letter (A - H) next to the number of the recording.—Do not use any letter more than once.—You will hear the five recordings twice.A Some inefficient equipment was replaced.B A bonus payment system was extended.C A department was moved to new premises.D Training opportunities were increased.E A system of cost control was implemented.F Some software was upgraded.G A number of specialist staff were recruited.H A system of promotion was introduced.正确答案：D听力原文：Well, it is a step in the right direction, although there’s still a long way to go before we can really maximise out potential. But using the database had been difficult, because we were running it on such old PCs and they kept crashing. Now we’ve got high quality ones, it should all start to go more smoothly. Though of course training to work with them is still an issue.14．正确答案：A听力原文：Small businesses can be incredibly inefficient in all sorts of ways. We’ve certainly been guilty of paying out for things without checking the outlay against the benefits. But with this new chap appointed, I can see we’re going to be much more careful. We have to put everything to him, and he analyses all spending. Waste is going right down, and we’ve cancelled some orders for unnecessary new machinery. Margins are looking better already.15．正确答案：E听力原文：If we want to stick to our plan for growth, then we have to make sure that we retain staff. We certainly can’t afford to keep taking on new people and training them up. I think we were right to drop the purely financial rewards for meeting targets - people are as interested in long-term security as in cash. But the prospect of moving up to the new team leader level seems to be a stronger incentive - a good decision.16．正确答案：H听力原文：It was very complicated to arrange, but now we’re seeing the benefits. There just wasn’t enough room for everyone and everything. People had to keep going downstairs to do copying, and they could hear each other’s phone calls - very distracting. But setting admin up in the new building has given everyone room to breathe, and the atmosphere in both places is better now. The next thing will be upgrading the PCs.17．正确答案：C听力原文：Well, obviously every team’s going to be different, but some things should be standard practice. For the thing to hold together, everyone’s got to be pulling their weight, whatever their role is, so you need to keep a keen eye on how they’re all doing. Keep tabs on whether they’ve done what they should have, and whether they’re getting things done on time. You need to be equal and fair with everyone.18．—You will hear another five recordings.—You will hear five speakers talking about running project teams.—For each recording, decide what the speaker recommends.—Write one letter (A - H) next to the number of the recording.—Do not use any letter more than once.—You will hear the five recordings twice.A Publish regular updates on progress.B Provide specific training for participants.C Define individual roles clearly.D Recruit members from different departments.E Check targets and deadlines frequently.F Obtain input from external experts.G Examine the achievements of previous teams.H Allocate sufficient technologicalresources.正确答案：E听力原文：If you’re putting people together for a particular purpose on top of their normal work you need to be sure they’ve got everything they need to fulfill their brief, Communication is a key factor, so be sure they have the tools to achieve quality. on that front - a laptop for , meetings, a bulletin board on the intranet and so on. Special teams need high visibility to keep their motivation up, and to maintain interest among other staff.19．正确答案：H听力原文：There’s no point re inventing the wheel for every team. You can look outside the current group for ideas. See what teams in other departments or divisions have managed to do - you’ll often find they’ve worked in similar circumstances, and you can look at how they handled it. That’ll give you ideas of what to do - and, often, what not to do, too. It should mean your own progress is smoother.20．正确答案：G听力原文：The trouble is that when things seem to go wrong, it may be too late to fix them, because you actually built the problem in from the start. It’s vital that each member of the team knows exactly what it is he or she is supposed to contribute. You won’t get a good whole if the parts aren’t put together properly. If members are from different departments, they’ll have different expectations, which need to be dealt with.21．正确答案：C听力原文：A team can look like a single unit from the outside, but be chaos within, with nobody really understanding what’s going on. Or, as often happens, they have conflicting ideas of what they’re trying to achieve. It can help to avoid such problems if you build in an education phase at the start - make sure everyone is fully inducted by teaching them the skills they’ll need for the project. It’ll make life easier - or bearable, at least.22．正确答案：BPART THREE听力原文：M: Sally, everyone’s talking about the changes. I’d be interested to know what you make of them.F: Well, Louis, I think it’s a mixed bag. I guess they’ve been fairly carefully planned. I think every department head was consulted, so ideas were contributed from the whole organisation. The chairman put a lot of thought into bringing it all together, which is probably due to his background in consultancy - wanting to get the whole picture clear, before finally deciding.M: I hadn’t realised they’d been so long in the making - they seemed to come out of the blue,F: Oh no, it’s been building up. The idea is to give our whole operation a boost. We’ve been paying the price for low motivation for quite a while, and it’s time to turn staff retention rates around. Sales and profits have been static for too long, but if we can get more commitment out of people, things should pick up.M: Sounds reasonable. As I say, I thought they’d happened rather suddenly. If other senior staff are thinking that too, they’re going to feel some resentment. But then again, it doesn’t mean they won’t get on with implementing them, so I guess it’ll all end up alright.F: I hope you’re right. Still, I’m personally rather unconvinced about the new working hours.M: Oh?F: Well the idea sounds nice having core hours from I I to 3 and leaving people free to start as early or late as they want and finish accordingly ...M: And maybe working four long days and having longer weekends.F: But it’ll mean we’ll be very understaffed on some days, and then those people who are here will have to take everybody’s calls, so less actual work will get done that’s how I see it turning out in the end, anyway.M: I see what you mean. What other problems do you foresee?F: I think the sales targets could have been better thought out. I know the idea is to encourage a spirit of healthy competition, which is no bad thing of course, but they’ve been applied right across the board in the departments affected. People can’t be expected to achieve the same regardless of what they’re selling. It’s a fact that some models outsell others, and that ought to be reflected in the targets.M: Well, on a more positive note, I’m all in favour of the training that’s being introduced.F: Uh-huh.M: It’s going to be far more accessible. When we had sessions provided by the college, the topics were rather limited, it seemed to me, but now there’s a much wider range on offer, not just internet and database management all the time. I just hope they timetable it sensibly.F: Oh, I think they will, after all the effort of setting it up. Something I’m looking forward to is the newsletter- that’s a great idea.M: Yes, it makes you wonder why we haven’t had one before.F: It’ll be a real boost for corporate culture, make everyone feel involved. The overseas reps will particularly, appreciate it - they can feel outside the loop except when they’re over here, which is only twice a year I suppose most of the contributions will come from managers. People joining the company will probably assume we’ve always had it, but I’m sure it’ll be an improvement.M: So, some hope for the future?F: Let’s give it about six months to see how it all plays out. It takes time to tell whether things are going to succeed, and everyone will need to be consulted to get their views and experiences on the changes. The real test will be morale, and whether it seems to go up or down, but I’d guess these won’t be the last changes, and that we’ll see more major changes introduced.M: As you say, time will tell ...—You will hear two managers, Louis and Sally, discussing changes in theircompany.—For each question 23 - 30, mark one letter (A, B or C) for the correct answer.—You will hear the recording twice.23．Sally says that the changes were planned byA．a cross-departmental team.B．management consultants.C．the company chairman,正确答案：C24．She says the changes are designed to deal withA．high staff turnover.B．increased costs.C．falling sales.正确答案：A25．What does Louis feel about the changes?A．They should have happened soonerB．Some managers will dislike them.C．Their success will be limited.正确答案：B26．Sally says the new working hours will beA．less productive in the long run.B．unpopular with some staff.C．difficult to control.正确答案：A27．She thinks that the new sales targetsA．fail to consider competitors.B．are too high for her department.C．should vary according to the product.正确答案：C28．Louis thinks the new training will be effective becauseA．it is available on-line.B．it covers more topics.C．it uses outside trainers.正确答案：B29．Sally says that the newsletter will be most valuable for A．new staff.B．management.C．agents abroad.正确答案：C30．What does she think will happen in six months’ time?

It’s been a very busy year.5.3 Negotiating a bank loanBM O K,well, I’ve got all the paperwork here for your loan application .Everything seems to be in order.Let’s just have a look at your business plan.Perhaps you could tell me about your ideas?JH Yes,of course.We plan to make fruit drinks,from 100 per cent fruit-no extrasugar,or additives or ‘E’ numbers.At the moment,we’ve only got a couple of flavours,strawberry and pear,but we want to expand our range to include more flavours.BM Y ou say that you’ve got some f lavours.Have you already started making and selling your drinks?JH Only on a small scale,but they’re selling really well and we can’t keep up with demand.BM Right,so why exactly do you want a loan?Are you going to expand your range orincrease you production?JH Well,both,we hope.BM And how do you plan to sell the drinks?Direct to the public?JH No,we’re going to sell through other companies.You know,in cafés,snack bars,at outlets in airports and railway stations.We’ve already had talks with the catering company that runs the ‘Travel Snack’chain.They’re going to stock our drinks intheir main outlets/BM And are you going to be able to expand quickly?JH I think so,because we’re going to keep everything simple.We plan to use the same basic plastic bottles that we’ve used until now,and we’re going to use the fruitthat is easily available locally.Our production process is very simple too.BM OK,what about your market?Who do you think is going to be your main market?JH So far most of our customers have been young people-you know,students,teenagers,people who are interested in drinking something healthy and natural .So we’re going to try to consolidate that market. I don’t think it’s a good idea to change our strategy at the moment.BM What kind of marketing have you done?JH A friend of ours has designed a great website for us,and I think we’re going to focus on the Internet for the moment.BM OK,so let’s look at these figures in more detail…Module 66.1 Flight problems1We got to the airport 30 minutes before the plane was due to take off,and we wentstraight to the check-in desk.First,the man at the desk said that the plane wasalready full because the flight was overbooked ,so we couldn’t get on.But then he changed his story.He said there were empty seats on the plane,but wewere late and the check-in desk was closed.So we missed our plane and we had to buy two tickets for another flight.You see,if the flight is overbooked,they give youa seat on a later one-but if you arrive late,you lose your money. I bet the man atthe desk was lying.2I called the airline to ask if my flight was on time ,and the man said that theremight be a delay because of the snow,But when I arrived at the airport ,there wereno flights.The woman at the information desk told me to go back to my hotel andwait.She said they were going to close the airport,and she didn’t know for how long.3I couldn’t complain about anything.The airline sent a taxi to collect me from myhotel.At the airport,they took me s traight to the desk to check my c ase in. I didn’t have to wait.Then they let me sit in the First Class Lounge,even though I didn’ｔhave a first class ticket.The woman i n the lounge said she would bring me some food from the buffet if I was hungry .Then ,when it was time to go ,they pushed mywheelchair all the way to my seat on the plane ,And during the flight,they couldn’t do enough for me.4There’s one every week.If it’s not the baggage handlers,it’s the flight attendants,or even the pilots .The last time I travelled,it was the air trafficcontrollers.Oh ,but they weren’t stopping for the whole day,just for four hours,just long enough to cause absolute chaos .The announcement said there wouldbe no cancellations that day ,only delays.But that meant that I missed my connecting flight in Frankfurt and had to fly out to Chile the following day.6.2 At the hotel1R Good afternoon.Carlton Hotel.How may I help you?G Yes,hello. I’m phoning to check if my online booking went through . I haven’t received any confirmation.R When did you make your booking?G Last Tuesday,the 14th.R Could I have your name,please?G Yes,it’ｓ Johanson.。

First, let me give you a brief introduction of Ford. Ford Motor manufactures and distributes automobiles in 200 markets across six continents. With about 300,000 employees and 108 plants worldwide, the company has core and affiliated automotive brands. The Ford Rouge Factory is located in the south of Detroit at the meeting of the Rouge and Detroit Rivers. The original Rouge complex is a mile and a half wide and more than a mile long. The multiplex of 93 buildings totals 15,767,708 square feet of floor area. Buildings include plants for tire-making stamping, engine casting, frame and assembly. A massive power plant produces enough electricity to light a city the size of nearby Detroit, and a soybean conversion plant turns soybeans into plastic auto parts. Our factory tour has four parts: First, you will take the Historic Driving Tour. Buses will transport you for a narrated tour past famous land marks and behind the scenes of this massive manufacturing complex. It will take approximately20 to 30 minutes. Second is the Rare Historic Footage Viewing. Here you will see a short film of rare, never-before-seen historic footage. You will learn about the triumphs and tragedies surrounding the Rouge. It takes 13 minutes. Third is the Virtual Reality Experience. A virtual reality will provide you with a 360-degree look at how automobiles are made. The approximate time for this is 15 minutes. Finally, we come to the Assembly Plant Walking Tour. You will tour the factory and see where the new Ford F-150s are assembled in the new, lean and flexible manufacturing plant. Visitors will have the opportunity to view the final assembly process from a elevated walkway. The tour takes about 30 to 45 minutes.Part 5.

I especially enjoyed the speed of your assembly line. It gives you an edge over your competitors.R: It does. No one can match us where high performance production speed is concerned, and you know, we owe that to our engineers and technicians. They designed and built the assembly line and succeeded in making it operational within six months.T: How much do you spend on new product development every year?R: About 8% to 10% of the gross sales.T: That’s a lot of money. Terrific! If I placed an order right now, how long would it be before I got delivery?R: It would largely depend on the size of the order and the items you want.T: Yes. What’s that building opposite us?R: That’s the warehouse. We keep a stock of the faster moving items so that urgent orders can be met quickly.T: Could you give me some brochures on your products? I’d like to let my manager know more about your production; and if possible, maybe he could also visit the plant someday.R: OK. Here’s our sales catalogue and some literature. Just let me know if you want to bring anyone else for a tour.T: Thank you very much.Part 6.Video 2Lily Wu: Hello! Everyone, I’m Lily Wu. Welcome to our factory and to the virtual Victory Instant Noodle Factory tour. I will be your guide for the tour. First, I want to give you a brief history of the manufacturing process of instant noodles. The first instant noodles were made in Japan in 1958. Today noodles are known around the globe. All over the world, every year, they are consumed at about 80 billion meals. Do you know how instant noodles are made? For such a simple-looking product, the manufacturing process is actually quite complex. Here we reveal the secrets of how instant noodles are made. All the facts are waiting for you on this virtual instant noodle factory tour. Please look at the PowerPoint slides. First, flour is transported by truck from storage silos. The flour is mixed and kneaded in a mixing machine to produce noodle dough. The dough is passed through a pair of rollers to roll it into sheets. The sheets are cut into fine strands. Pre-steaming gelatinses the noodles for easier digestion.The noodles are separated intomeal-sized blocks which are shaped into moulds. Noodles are first cooked in oil and then dried for easy storage and quick preparation by the consumer. The end! Packages of noodles are packed in boxes for shipping. That is the process required to produce instant noodles! Now let’s go to the production shop.。
