Toyota initiated the recalls, the first two with the assistance of the . National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), after several vehicles experienced unintended acceleration. The first recall, on November 2, 2009, was to correct a possible incursion of an incorrect or out-of-placefront driver’s side floor mat into the foot pedal well, which can cause pedal entrapment. The second recall, on January 21, 2010, was begun after some crashes were shown not to have been caused by floor mat incursion. This latter defect was identified as a possible mechanical sticking of the accelerator pedal causing unintended acceleration, referred to as Sticking Accelerator Pedal by Toyota. The original action was initiated by Toyota in their Defect Information Report, dated October 5, 2009, amended January 27, 2010. Following the floor mat and accelerator pedal recalls, Toyota also issued a separate recall for hybrid anti-lock brake software in February 2010.As of January 28, 2010, Toyota had announced recalls of approximately million vehicles for the pedal entrapment/floor matproblem, and an additional million vehicles for the accelerator pedal problem. Approximately million vehicles are subject to both. The next day, Toyota widened the recall to include million vehicles in Europe and 75,000 in China. By then, the worldwide total number of cars recalled by Toyota stood at 9 million. The number of alleged victims and reported problems sharply increased following the recall announcements, which were heavily covered by U.S. media, although the causes of individual reports were difficult to verify. Government officials, automotive experts, Toyota, and members of the general public contested the scope of the sudden acceleration issue and the veracity of victim and problem reports. The recalls further led to NHTSA and Toyota investigations, along with multiple lawsuits.Topic Preview1. Read the passage on page X and learn the useful expressions related to business crisis.2.

You’ve heard all about this: millions of vehicles affected by issues with floor mats and gas pedals that might get stuck. US Congress is holding a few days of hearings to get some information about it. Yesterday, they heard from one expert who said it could be an electrical issue. He says there’s a possibility that a short circuit might cause a car to suddenly accelerate. An engineering firm that was hired by Toyota to check out the claim found the same thing. But Toyota’s U.S. sales chief, Jim Lentz, says the electrical system isn’t the problem.When asked about how the company handled customer complaints, Lentz said that Toyota focused more on technical issues rather than looking at the possibility of accelerator pedals that get stuck. He called that approach a mistake and apologized for it. In fact, Toyota has repeatedly apologized for the safety issues, and it’s working to repairStudioWord Bank1.plunge v.to (cause someone or something to) move or fallsuddenly and often a long way forward, down or intosomething 跳进，陷⼊2.congressional a.belonging or related to the US Congress ⼤会的，国会的3.accelerator n.the pedal (= part that you push with your foot) in avehicle that makes it go faster 加速器4.sticking a.made of or covered with a substance that stays fixedto any surface it touches 粘的5.multiple a.very many of the same type, or of different types 多样的，多重的6.analyst n.someone whose job is to study or examine something indetail 分析家，分析者7.reassure v.to comfort someone and stop them from worrying 使……安⼼，打消……的疑虑8.boardroom n. a room where the people who control a company ororganization meet （董事会）会议室9.remarkably adv.surprisingly 显著地10.third-quarter n.July, August and September of a year 第三季度11.out of sight beyond one’s range of vision 视线看不见的地⽅12.press conference a meeting at which a person or organization makes apublic statement and reporters can ask questions 记者招待会Complete the following statements with the phrases given below.

Toyota stocks plunged ending the week dow n 12 percent. The automaker’s worldwide woes are drawing alarm from Japan’s Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry.The scale of this recall is large, says Masayuki Naoshima, Toyota must deal with this issue properly and act to maintain consumer trust. In the US, lawmakers on Capitol Hill called for congressional hearings to investigate what went wrong with the auto giant’s accelerator pedals. And reports to US investigators: cars sped out of control. The driver’s reporting th e gas pedal’s stick ing.Toyota says the problem is with this part of the accelerator made by supplier CTS in Indiana, though CTS says the accelerators were built to Toyota’s specifications. As part of Toyota’s global expansion plan, the automaker streamlined production, so one part will fit multiple car models around the world.That cuts costs, says industry analyst Tatsuya Mizuno. But if there is a problem with one part, he says, it will spread to many models and an enormous number of vehicles, and in this case millions of Toyota cars from Europe, the US and China, exponentially damaging the brand. While Toyota has made a number of statements to reassure consumers and indicate it’s working on the problem, Toyota’s president Akio Toyoda has not made any public ap pearance to protect his company’s reputation. In Japan, where CEO apologies at press conferences are expected, Toyota’s boardroom has been remarkably silent to the surprise of industry watchers.---Yes.---Do you think that they need to deliver a strong message?---I think so, I think so, immediately.Not just overseas consumers, say many on the streets of Tokyo, but for Japan’s economy so deeply tied with the high quality of its automobiles.For the Japanese economy, it could be a serious problem, says Yuichi Kida, China and Korea are right behind us.SourceSpeaking WorkshopExpressions & Structures to UseTask 1 Summarizinglearned in the video clip.

While things are kind of tough around here, I‘ll help you out as much as I can.Unit 8 In a New CultureVocabulary TaskAnswers/ScriptA I really like the way it is here, how safe it is. I ca n‘t get over howfriendly and helpful people are. I would like to live out my life here.B I‘ve gotten used to it here. I used to try to figure out why they do things a certain way.C Sometimes foreigners are too inflexible. They shouldn‘t try to convert u s to their way of doing things. They should just relax and go with the flow. Otherwise, they‘re not going to last long.Listening Task1) First ActivityAnswers1.like2.dislike3.dislike4.like2) Second ListeningAnswers1. She feels very safe. She can leave her backpack unattended.2. People talk about their cars a lot.3. People compliment him when he speaks the language. People can‘t believe that he can use chopsticks.4. People go out of their way to help you.Script1. One of the things I really like about living in Costa Rica is that it‘s so safe. I mean, I can go walk around the streets with 50,000 pesetas in my wallet and I don‘t even worry about it. In American cities, I used to worry about waling around with 20 dollars in my wallet. And another thing is that sometimes I go into a restaurant and I can leave my backpack sitting at a table and I go up to order and I come back knowing that my backpack is going to be safe and no one‘s even touched it .2. People in the States are so connected to their cars. They are so concerned whether their cars look good, and they talk about their cars a lot. I think that cars isolate people. Public transportation brings people together…and it‘s better for the environment. Americans live in their cars. This is one th ing about living here that I just can‘t get used to.3. People in Tokyo overreact when I can use chopsticks or speak the language. I‘ve been living here for three years—of course I can eat with chopsticks and say some things in their language. They act as if I were some kind of genius who had broken a secret code, or as if I had just done them a really big favor. I don‘t congratulate them when they speak English to me. I don't get what the big is.4. I‘ll never get over how helpful people are in Tel Aviv. The other day I was shopping for a certain book, right? The bookstore I usually go to didn‘thave it, so the clerk called a couple of his competitors until he found a store to hold a copy for me. After that, he photo-copied a map and highlighted where the store was, and marked the easiest route for me to get there. They would never do that in the U.S.Real World Listening1.PredictAnswersStore clerks, social rules2.
