BEC 中级听力第八课时 3The second company looked promising too, because they are based in the region that produces the natural resources to make our components.Everything needed for their activities is available on their doorstep.They have a good working relationship with the local mine owners, who are known to have good safety records. During my visit,the company went into great detail about the quality inspections carried out on the material before it leaves the mines.This company seemed to have no problems with transport – until I looked more closely. The factory is in a very mountainous region, about six hundred kilometers from the capital city.Passenger flights are fairly frequent, taking under two hours, but the journey by road can take days. The roads are really inadequate – the whole infrastructure needs massive investment.There is a seaport just over the border with the neighbouring country,which would certainly cut down on distance, but, as far as I can see, it might also bring other problem.We simple can’t risk depending on such fragile communications.The third company I looked at, on the other hand, is on the coast, with good access to the main seaport. Transport and shipping of goods are well organized and, in fact, they own a haulage company as one of their subsidiaries. The production unit is new –built and equipped with the help of investment from the Ministry of Industry. What’s more,company workers are involved in decision-making,and industrial relations are excellent.Perfect so far.Unfortunately,though,their finished products are not of the quality we demand. The specifications are right for our components, so no modifications in design would be necessary. But when I did a quick inspection, I found a higher percentage of faults than we’d be prepared to tolerate. If we chose them, we’d certainly have to negotiate longer warranties than those they’re offering at present. The final company I visited seemed to have everything, though. It’s ten years old, well established, located between the capital and a major seaport.The company has grown rapidly and has just modernized its factory, thanks to a loan from the World Bank, which has enabledit to install the most up-to-date equipment available on the market. The production unit is now fully automated,and efficiency is the company’s great strength.This company has a well-deserved reputation for the quality of his finished goods. Given their high standard, it’s not surprising that the costs are considerable,and they’re asking higher prices thanthe other companies I visited. But I’m confident we’ll be able to negotiate on this. The key point in their favour, in my opinion, is their ability to meet deadlines of a long-term contract. It’s easyto meet one deadline, of course – the difficult thing is to do itall the time.To sum up, then…。

Thank you for coming. Do take a seat.M Oh, thank you.F Right. I＇ve looked through your letter of application and your curriculum vitae. uh…interesting! I see you＇re nearly twenty-seven. Well, I think I＇d better tell you generally about the job we have on offer here. It＇s an important position. It＇s an assistant manager ship reporting directly to the managing director. It covers several of the aspects of our business—supervising the purchasing of goods and deliveries, pricing, special offers and so on. Anyway, I see you have some experience with one of our main rivals. Can you tell me something about that?M Yes, well, er, after I left school, I joined Sparton＇s Stores as a trainee. I was eighteen then.F Yes?M Uh, after the initial six months＇ trial period, they sent me to their retail training centre for a month. Then I went back to the branch in Marx Town. I then went to the night school for 2 years to get a diploma in commerce.F Uh, yes.M And I did a short computer studies course at university last summer as well. Anyway I worked in the Marx Town branch for another couple of years. I really enjoyed it there. But then Sparton＇s moved me to the city centre branch. And it wasn＇t quite so good, I＇m afraid.F mmm, why was that?M Well, I＇m afraid the general manager and I had different opinions. There was a terrific downturn in retail sales six years ago. Shoppers weren＇t spending much. Anyway I thought we ought to advertise our goods in our store more widely to draw in more customers. I had a few ideas, but we couldn＇t agree on the policy. It was a shame. I had hoped to move up to the deputy assistant there. But the job was given to someone else.F mmmM so I thought it was time to move on.F I see. Well, uh, could you tell me what you do in your current job at, uh, ah, yes, Town and Country store, isn＇t it?M Yes, uh, I＇ve been there for nearly two years now. I help with store displays and promotions. And I＇ve also been in complete charge from time to time when the proprietor＇s away at trade fairs and so on. But my main job is to do with the shop assistants—there are nearly forty, mostly part-timers. I used to supervise the cleaners and also the typists at one time too, but it became too much.F So why are you looking for another job, Mr. Benn?M Well I expect you know it＇s a family firm. And there＇s really no chance of getting ahead. The proprietor＇s son will take over when Mr Richards retires in two years. So I＇d like to get back into a big chain with a number of stores where there＇re more opportunities for training and promotion. So I must say the working conditions at Town and Country are pretty good.。

the first thing I do is get the kids ready for school.I take them at eight thirty and thin I always start work at nine.I Do you ever have a day where you decide to have the morning off and start work later?M No,you can’t do that.It’s important with home-working to have a timetable and stick to it.If you end up watching TV or doing the cleaning then it isn’t for you.So I have lunch at twelve and finish work at two thirty to get the children.I Was that why you gave up your office job?M Yes,I wanted to spend more time with the children.It gives me more flexibility.Sometimes I need to work in the evening but usually it isn’t a problem.I So how long have you been doing this kind of work?M For about five years.I’ve been with the same company since I left school but with the Internet and technology it’s easy now to be at home.I So your employer doesn’t mind.M No.It means the company saves money on office space and as long as I get the work done,they’re happy.Sometimes I still fo into work to meet clients and so on.For example,I’m going in nearly every day this week because we have visitors from another company and I can’t really invite them over to my house.Besides,the gossip and the news with my colleagues.I miss that side of going into work every day.I Is there anything else you miss?M Ermm.No,not really.And I’ll tell you what I really don’t miss and that’s having to spend two hours commuting on the bus and train every day. . .1.2 Starting a conversation (page 11)Conversation 1R=Richard W=Woman M=MarekR Hello?W Hello,Richard.I’d like to introduce you to Marek.R Oh,yes.Hello,Marek.How do you do?Nice to meet you at last.M Hello,Richard.Pleased to meet you too.W Oh,do you two know each other already?M Well,we’ve spoken on the phone a few times.R But we’ve never actually met.Anyway,take a seat.Would you both like a coffee?Conversation 2A Would you like a coffee?B Oh,thanks.A Milk?B Yes,please,and a sugar…thanks.A So have you enjoyed this morning?B Yes,it was very interesting.The first speaker was particularly good.A Is this your first time at one of these events?B Yes,it is.And you?A No,I’ve been coming for years.The company pays and if the location is good then I come.I remember the best year we had was in Monaco…Conversation 3M=Marie W=WomanM May I join you?W Sure.M You’re a colleague of Martin Obach,aren’t you?W That’s right He works in our Barcelona office.How do you know him?M We were both at Elcotil together.He left about a year before me.W Oh,are you Mandy?M Marie.W Marie.That’s right.Sorry,I knew it began with an M.Yes,Martin said you were doing this course and that I should say hello…Conversation 4A Well,this is nice.B Well,it’s quite simple but the food is vey traditional and it’s popular with the locals.On Sundays I often bring the family here.A That’s nice.How many children do you have?B Two.Twinks.A boy and a girl.They’ve just started school.A Wow.Twinks.B And you?A No,not yet.And have you always lived in Lille?B Yes,most of my life.I worked in Paris for a while and in your country,of course.But all my relatives are here.What about your family?A Oh,they’re spread out.I see my parents from time to time but my sister lives in Norway with her husband so we don’t get together much.Anyway,I know your company is looking for a partner on this Thai project.B Yes.Is that something you might be interested in…1.3 Exam spotlight (page 15)E=Examiner C=CandidateE And where do you live exactly?C I’m from a small town in northern Switzerland but at the moment I’m studying for a business degree so I live in Zurich.E What types of business are most successful in your town?C Err,well,I suppose that tourism is quite important to the area andthere are many small farms so agriculture also.Zurich,where I study,is more famous of course for banking and financial services.E How is working life changing in your country?C Sorry,can you repeat the question,please?E Yes,how is working life changing in your country?C I think that more and more people are moving to the cities or they are commuting in every day.In my opinion, the biggest change has come from technology-but then that’s probably true everywhere,not just in my country…Module 22.1 Benefits and incentives (page 16)Speaker 1 It’s great because usually it means my wife can use the one at home and we even take mine away at weekends.I work for quite a relaxed company and they don’t seem to mind how I use it for leisure.Speaker 2 I thought it wouldn’t change the way I worked after the first six months but as they got older it actually became more complicated with getting them to school or if they wanted to do activities in the afternoon.But my boss has been really good about it and some days I can do a half a day if I want and then I might work later on other days-or I take work home,which I don’t like doing,but it’s the only way…Speaker 3 It’s actually the law now so they had to let me have it. It was only two weeks but at least I had time to help my wife out.Mind you,after all the late nights and crying I was really happy to get back to work for a while and have a rest!Speaker 4 I’ve just been promoted from Assistant IT Technician to Chief Operational Network Administrator.It means I get a bit of a pay rise and new business cards with my name on.I’m not sure if I get my own office though.Speaker 5 The problem for me is that I won’t have enough to live in。

So what were the key questions the judges had in mind when assessing the finalists? One of the most important areas concerned how thoroughly a company checks what is happening in other fields in order to incorporate new ideas into the development process. Many of the finalists impressed in the areas. Natura, for example, had demonstrated genuine energy in searching for new ways of producing their range of speciality breads. They had looked at styles of home cooking in different countries, as well as the possibility of exploiting new production technologies in order to achieve equally good results but on a high-volume production line.What then occupied much of the judges’ thoughts was the quality of the links which the development team established with senior management, suppliers, the market and manufacturing. The best examples of the first category were found in small firms, where the individual entrepreneur at the top was clearly driving the innovation forward.Links with suppliers were also seen as an important factor, but not all supplier experiences were positive. Occasionally serious problems had to be solved where suppliers were working hard to meet specification, but the companies that the suppliers were using to adapt their machinery were not so efficient. This led to disappointing faults or fluctuations in quality. But in conclusion the awards demonstrate that innovation isn’t just for high-tech internet companies, You can also be successful in mature markets with determination and skill.知识点总结：如何扩⼤背景知识：阅读商务报刊背景知识考察点： 1）⼈新⼈的选择，executive 执⾏官的选择；员⼯的管理：激励问题、⼈员培训 2）公司的问题公司的类型管理；运作 3）公司的运作成本、产品的研发市场和营销安全⽣产 4）报告，报表Questions 23-30（真题集TEST3- PART 3）● You will hear the Purchasing Manager of a manufacturing company giving a presentation to senior management about four possible new suppliers.● For each question (23-30), mark one letter (A, B or C) for the correct answer.● After you have listened once, replay the recording.23 The advantage of the first company isA the size of the factory.B the company of the MD.C the production capacity.24 The speaker is concerned that the first company lacksA sufficient firm orders.B fully trained staff.C reliable distributors.25 The speaker was initially impressing by the second company because ofA its relationship with employees at the mines.B its access to the raw materials needed.C the methods it designed for checking safety in the mines.26 The second company has problems becauseA air transport has limited capacity.B the road networks are underdeveloped.C the seaport is too far away.27 The third factory visited by the speakerA is owned by a worker’ co-operative.B was established by a haulage company.C has financial support from the government.28 The components manufactured by the third factoryA do not reach the required standard.B are not accompanied by a guarantee.C do not match product specifications.29 The final company visited by the speakerA has rapidly gained a world-wide reputation.B has recently increased its production area.C has received a loan to improve technology.30 The speaker recommends the final company becauseA it has agreed to reduce its prices for large orders.B it can produce goods within the required timescale.C its products passed the inspection test she carried out.答案：23 C 24 A 25 B 26 B 27 C 28 A 29 C 30 B听⼒原⽂：Woman: As you know, the main supplier of our components announced suddenly last month that they were closing downshortly, leaving us in a very difficult situation. I shortlisted four potential replacement suppliers, and have visited them all. I’ll report on each, though I’ve only found one company that meets our needs entirely.Initially, I was optimistic about the first company I saw. I was given an enthusiastic welcome and generous hospitality by the MD, but when he took me on a tour of the factory, I began to have a few doubts about his commercial expertise. The factory is enormous a converted aircraft shed, I think, almost too big to be practical. There is certainly enough machinery to produce the quantities we need, and that, of course, is vital.。

Questions 1 to 8.For question 1-8, you will hear eight short recordings. For each question, mark one letter (A, B or C) for the correct answer. Here’s an example: When were the machine parts sent?[pause]Woman: Mr Hooper rang. He needs those parts for the packing machine by the third.Man: Well, it’s already the first today …but wait …no, it’s OK. They were sent out on the thirty-first.Woman: Good. He’ll certainly get them by the third, then.[pause]The answer is A.Now we are ready to start.After you have listened once, replay each recording.[pause]One: Why is the man late for the meeting?[pause]Woman: Sorry we had to start the meeting without you. What happened – train late again?Man: It was, but only by a few minutes. According to my diary, we’re not starting till eleven. Woman: We were, but I’ve got to fly out to the Tokyo office on urgent business this afternoon, so we had to bring the meeting forward.Man: Well, no-one told me …[pause]Two: Why is Timtex performing badly?[pause]Woman: Timtex isn’t doing too well, is it? I see profits are right down again.Man: Mm. Well, at the moment the market’s sharply divided between those who want fashionable clothing, even though it costs a lot, and those who want to pay as little as possible. So by aiming at the middle market, Timtex doesn’t really please anyone very much.[pause]Three: Which graph shows the company’s sales?[pause]Man: … and despite a slight fall early in the year, WP Engineering have in fact done well this year, with a steady rise in sales up to now, which their Managing Director, William Peters, hopes will continue into next year …[pause]Four: Where do they decide t to hold the seminar?[pause]Woman: Where are we holding the seminar this year?Man: How about that new hotel in town?Woman: It’s too expensive for our budget …somewhere like the conference center is more suitable – it’s fully booked though. Man: And everyone complained about the Trade Club last year …Woman: OK, well maybe we should spend more on the venue this year. Let’s go with your idea. [pause]Five: What does the successful business produce?[pause]Woman: These articles about new business are interesting.Man: Especially the one about the woman whose company sells a game she invented herself. Woman: Mm. She’s doing really well. The one that made soft drinks failed within six months. Man: Y es. And the people publishing the magazine did well at first, but then they couldn’t find any more investors.Woman: Pity. Seemed a good idea.[pause]Six: In which department does Ben work now?[pause]Woman: Hello Karl! How are you?Man: I’m fine thanks. How are things at the company?Woman: Oh, there have been so many changes since you left!Man: I hear Ben’s moved?Woman: Y es …they needed someone with an engineering qualification in Marketing, so they transferred him there. Man: Who’s replaced him in Sales then?Woman: No-one yet![pause]Seven: Which chart shows the bank’s current network of branches?[pause]Man: … at the moment a quarter of the bank’s branches are in Europe, and a third in Asia. The rest of their business is, of course, in the States. But today’s news is that they’re planning to close some US branches …[pause]Eight: What do they still need to put in the hall?[pause]Man: I’ve just been over the hall to check the arrangements for the shareholders’ meeting. Woman: Is everything set up OK? Man: Almost. They haven’t got the microphone in yet. Everything else was all right though … the OHP was there …Woman: What about the video player?Man: Oh, we changed our minds about that, so I didn’t book one in the end.[pause]That is the end of Part One.讲解1 Why is the man late for the meeting?A The meeting time was changed.B His train was delayed.C There was an emergency in his office.diary ⽇程，安排bring sth forward 把什么事情提前了2 Why is Timtex performing badly?A Its profit margins are too narrow.B It is targeting the wrong market.C Demand for expensive clothing is low.总结：如果以后再碰到了题⽬问的是why，这种题⼤家要重点听因果词3 Which graph shows the company's sales?4 Where do they decide to hold the seminar?A at a conference centreB at a Trade ClubC at a hotelLet’s go with your idea. 还是听你的吧。
