The business has been in the fa mily for generations and generations. Over time, with the countless c lients that had gone in and out of the office, the marble step in fro nt of the building had developed a big, deep dip in it from all the w ear and tear.The accountant’s friends kept telling him that he had better get it replaced; otherwise he’d be sued if anyone ever slipped and fell. Reluctantly, the accountant called a stonemason to get a quote for th e repairs. When the stonemason got there, the accountant demanded a p rice for a new step.“Ah, big job,” said the e stonemason, “But I suppose I could give you a new step for a hundred pounds.” The accountant was stunned. “Are you crazy, man? I can’t pay you a hundred pounds!” Thinking abou t it for a second, he turned to the stonemason and asked, “What woul d you charge me to dig up the step and turn it over so that the worn part is in the ground and I’d get a new square step?” The stonemaso n hesitated, “20pounds.”“Do it!” Demanded the accountant, “And call me when you’re done.”The accountant went back inside to read his books, but after only 15m inutes the stonemason rang the bell. As the accountant opened the doo r, he saw the stonemason standing there, pointing to a deep dip in th e step. The stonemason laughed as he said, “Your great-great grandda ddy thought of that a hundred and fifty years ago!”Keys: FTFFTFor Reference3. countless clients that had gone in and out of the office4. He turn the step over so that the worn part was in the groundTask3: Where to Start Your BusinessYou have to consider the location when launching a business. You will be “planning your business tree” there and will have to maintain i t for years to come. You have to keep in mind a few things when decid ing on a place t open your business.First of all, you have to take the local economy into consideration. Is your local area growing and building? Are the market trends good? Even if you have to locate your business farther from your home, try to find a place that is building up and bringing people in. The worst thing you can do is to pick a place that is in the “bad area of tow n” because it is less expensive. Your address can be the first thing people will ask for, and it can say a lot about your business.The second thing you have to bear in mind is the job market. Since un employment is low in most area in the Unites States, consider what ty pe of employees you will need and find out if there are many in your area. The amount of money that you will have t o spend I the recruiti ng phase could be an indicator that you should or should not locate t he business in an area with a different employee pool.Another factor people have to consider is whether you can integrate w ith the local community and get to love it. To make the community war m to you, you should become involved in it by joining the local Chamb er of Commerce, Business Association, City Council Committees, or oth er local organization that could offer you help. Why plan on retiring “one day” to some great location? Why not move there now and start your dream business?21. What is the speaker mainly talking about?22. What must you find if you are going to locate a business at adistance from your home?23. According to the speaker, what is the worst thing you can do?24. What will the recruiting money tell you?25. What can you do the get on well with the locate people?Kes: 1D 2.C3. C 4.A 5.CFor ReferenceTo decide on a good business location, one has to consider the local economy, the job market there, and whether you can integrate wit the local community.IV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 I am having cash problems.Bill: Helen, you started this company only a year ago. If you want i t to grow, I’m afraid you need to do something about cash flow. Helen: Bill, although you’ve worked here only for a couple of month s, you already know this company inside out. I am having cashproblems.Bill: Clearly you don’t have the money you need to buy the equipme nt to be competitive. You have just barely enough funds to cover your day-to-day operational expenses.Helen: I think my best bet is to secure a small-business loan.Bill: I don’t think that’s possible. It seems to me you don’t h ave the collared for a loan.Helen: What can I do then?Bill: Try the Small Business Association. They help underwrite loa ns for a small business.Helen: So, even though I don’t have much collateral, I can still qu ality for a loan?Bill: Under this special program, possibly.Helen:That would really help me cover our overhead. I just need to get some time to get the revenues up.Bill: Apply for the small-business loan, and keep your fingers cro ssed!Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: You’ve worked as a consultant for a long time, so you know the co mpany inside out. I’m having cash problems.B: I see. If you want the company to grow, I’m afraid you need to ha ve more funds. Clearly you don’t have the money you need to buy t he equipment to be competitive. You just barely have enough funds to cover your day-to-day operating expenses.A: I think my best bet is to ask the bank loan.B: I don’t think that’s the best solution. Nowadays the interest ra tes are very high. You’ll have a difficult time paying back the l oan.A: What can I do then?B: Try a business incubator.A: What can I get from them?B: They offer a range of services such as consultancy, training, and more importantly, venture capital.A: Can I really get venture capital from them?B: Possibly, if you prove your company is promising.A: Good, that would really help me cover our overhead. I just need so me time to get revenues up.B: Well, apply for a risk investment, and keep your fingers crossed MODEL2 I have some very bad news.Helen: Bill, I’ve been searching for a loan, but I was rejected ever ywhere. Now I’m afraid I have some very bad news.Bill: What is it?Helen: Well, the company has been experiencing serious financial diff iculties for quite a long time now.Bill: I know we’ve been operating in the red for the past few mont hs.Helen: Exactly. After a long discussion with my partners, I’ve come to the conclusion that the best course of action is to file for bankruptcyBill: What? Bankruptcy? I didn’t know you were in this kind of ser ious financial trouble.Helen: Sales have been low all year long. Now two of our leading comp etitors are discussing a merger. Then we’ll have to face even stiffer competition. I feel the situation is going to go frombad to worse. We simply can’t afford to keep our doors open for long.Bill: When do you plan to make the announcement to tell all the emp loyees?Helen: Early next week.Bill: What kinds of severance package will we able to offer them? Helen: Unfortunately, the best we can do is offer one month’s salar y.Bill: Oh! How terrible! OK, I’ll contact Vivitek and see if they are interested in acquiring our company.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: I have some very bad news.B: What’s that?A: The company’s products haven’t sold well for a long time, you kn ow.B: Yeah. I know we’ve been operating a t a loss for several months.A: Exactly. And after a long discussion with my partner, I’ve come t o the conclusion that the best course of action is to file for ban kruptcy.B: What? Bankruptcy? I’d suggest that you find a merger partner ins tead. With combined strength, we can face the stiff market competit ion.A: Our sales have been low a long time. Who will be willing to merger with us?B: You can tell them we have a team of well-trained skilled workers a nd our equipment is not technologically backward. In fact, we havea lot of to offer.A: Sorry, but I’m still not confident at all. I still prefer to decl are bankruptcy.B: When do you plan to make it known to the staff?A: Sometimes next month.B: What kind of severance package are you going to offer them?A: Unfortunately, the best we can do is offer one month’s salary. B: That’s terrible.MODEL3 We’ve been looking for a merger partner.Bill: I hear that Vivitek has been considering acquiring a CD manu facturer for some time.Jessica: That’s quite true. What’s on your mind?Bill: My boss Helen thinks that our company would be a good match for Vivitek. And we’ve been looking for a merger partner. Jessica: Are you sure youroperation has much to bring to the table? Bill: Definitely. The quality of our products is first-rate, and we have many reliable sales out lets. What’s more, Vivitek can propel us to even greater heights. It will be an all-around excellent match.Jessica: I think it might be, though we have yet to discuss details. Bill: As a matter of fact, we’ve already received a few attracti ve bids.Jessica: Well, we of curse need to come up with a plan that is attra ctive for both partiesBill: True, but my boss has to keep our shareholders’ interests in mind.Jessica: It’s reasonable to keep your employees’ welfare in mind.

What’s on your mind?A: We’ve been looking for a merger partner. And we think our company would be a good match for you.B: Definitely. We have a number of first-rate programmers (program wr iters\software engineers), and one of our software products is a hi t.A: Then why do you want a merger?B: We can certainly survive on our own. The problem with us is that w e don’t as many reliable sales outlets as you have. We hope your c ompany can propel us to even greater heights.A: As a matter of fact, we’ve already received a few attractive bids.So we have to be cautious in making a decision.B: I hope you will find our company an all-around excellent match. The merger wil turn out to be a win-win (double-win\two-win) situation.A: I think that might be, though we still have to discuss specifics. B: Well, we of curse need to work out a scheme that is attractive for both parties.A: True, we have to keep in mind the interests of the shareholders of both sides.B: Good. That’s why they call you headhunters.V. Let’s TalkMartin: Dick, would you review the result of the survey on leisure sporting activities. We need to plan our proposal for this Friday’s business meeting.Dick: Sure. I’ve summarized the results in the handouts, broken do wn by customer age groups and sporting activities. The surveywas administered to 550 men and women between the age of 18 and 55 years old, and the results have been compiled in the following age groups: 18to 26, 27to 35,36to 45, and 46to 55. According to the results, the most active group involved in sporting activities is between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those36to 45 years old.Martin: Okay.Dick: As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.Martin: And what about these groups broken down by gender?Dick: Oh, Martin, thanks for bringing that up. Men appears to be sl ightly more active than women in the 18 to 26 year-old age group, but women seem more active in the other three groups Martin: Hmm. Based on what you have said, I think we should consider targeting the 18 to 26 year-old age group more in the future.I also feel we should consider expanding our line of athleticshoes, particularly jogging shoes and tennis footwear. We alsohave to come up with a more appealing slogan aimed at this age group.Dick: I see what you mean. However, the 46 to 55 age group is becom ing more concerned about staying fit. I believe this trend will continue, so we should not neglect them.Martin: I see your point. Well, let’s meet again on Wednesday to irSAMPLEA: How many people do you think we have to survey before we can havea clear idea about the sales potential for each product?B: I think our survey must be administered to at least 300 men and wo men of various ages, incomes and occupations. Otherwise the result s won’t be reliable.A: Perhaps we can use our common sense to predict the results.B: Obviously, young people pay more attention to their clothes than o lder people, and they tend to buy more.A: It’s clear that women are more active in buying dresses. Our prod uction should target women.B: What do you think about the various income groups? Do you think we should aim mainly at the high income group?A: It’s hard to say. Some rich people are very careful with their mo ney. So, we have to wait until the investigation results come out. B: Now let’s switch to sports shoes. Which group do you think may be active?A: I guess the young people may buy the most because many of them like sports a great deal.B: I think this group will be followed by the old group instead of the middle-aged group. The old people are becoming more concerned about staying fit.A: I agree. And I believe this trend will continue, so we shouldn’t neglect them.B: What may be the result broken down by gender?A: Many people think men are more active than women, but I’m not qui te sure.B: Ok, let’s carry out our survey as early as possible and let facts speak for themselves.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Hot Business IdeasBusiness ideas are all around you. Many business ideas come from a ca reful analysis of market and consumer needs. If you are interested in starting a business, but don’t know what product or service you mig ht sell, here are some ways that may help you find one.First of all, you should study how to value to an existing product. T he difference raw wood and finished wooden products is a good example of putting a product through an additional process that increases it s value.But additional processes are not the only way value can be added. You might also add services, or combine one product with other products. For instance, a local farm which sells produce can also offer a vege table delivery service—for a free.What business ideas can you develop along these lines? Focus on what products you might buy, and what you might do to them or with them to create a profitable business.Some people have another way of making profit. They improve an existi ng products or service. We all know that the person who can build a b etter mousetrap will make a lot of money. That person could be you! A local entrepreneur has created an improved version of the hula hoop. It’s bigger and heavier, so hula-hoopers can control it more easily and do more tricks. How did she come up with this business idea? She thought hula hooping would be a fun thing to do with her daughter, bu t found the commercially available product too flimsy.There are very few products or services that can’t be improved. Star t generating business ideas by looking at the products and services y ou use and brainstorming ideas as to how they could be better.20. What is the first way the speaker mentions that helps you produce a business idea?21. Which of the following methods does the speaker NOT mention?22. Why does the speaker mention the mousetrap?23. Which of the following is true according to the passage?24. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.DTask 2: What do you know about business?Historically, the term business referred to activities or interests. By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synony mous with “an individual commercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear intercha ngeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishin g business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fis hing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” may serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”.People establish business in order to perform economic activities. Wi th some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other word s, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generatin g a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of the ir main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways. In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intan gible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds tha n manufacturers.Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of c ommercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types inc lude partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability compan ies, and sole ownerships.Task3: An office boy or a billionaire?A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The human resource manger interviewed him, and gave him a test: clea n the floor.“You are engaged,” he said, “give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application form to fill and tell you when you will star t.” The man replied, “I don’t have a computer or an email.”“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager, “if you don’t have an email, t hat means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have th e job!”The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with on ly 10 dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a crate of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes in a door-to doorround. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 doll ars. The man realizes that he could survive this way, and started to go out early and returned late every day.Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. A little later, he boug ht a cart, then a trunk, then he has his own fleet of delivery vehicl es. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers i n the United States. He started to plan his family’ future, and deci ded to buy life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. Before the conversation was concluded, the broker a sked him for his email address. The man replied,” I have no email.”The broker replied,” You don’t have an email, and yet have succeede d in building an empire! Can you imagine what you could have been you had an email.”The man replied, “ An office boy at Microsoft!”For Reference1. “If you don’t have an email that means you don’t exist.And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have the job!”2.

Litigat ion is never a good thing for any industry or any company. We have sa id for some time that we would go the extra mile to resolve this case. That is exactly what we did in reaching this settlement.The experience of the past the three years hs had a profound impact o n me personally and on our company. We are in a fast-moving, competit ive industry, but we will focus more on how our actions affect other companies.John Ashcroft, U.S Attorney General:Today we are announcing a strong, historical settlement reached by th e Department of Justice and the Microsoft Corporation that will put an end to Microsoft’s unlawful conduct, bring effective relief to the marketplace, and ensure that consumers will have more choices in meet ing their needs of computing and working with their computers. This s ettlement is the right result for consumers and for businesses, the r ight result for the economy, and the right result for government. It provides prompt, effective, certain relief for consumers and removes the uncertainty in the computer market, a critical factor in today’s economy.。

Listening InTask 1: Fast Food CultureSince the late 1900s, Americans have begun to fully believe in their “fast food culture”. In 1994 alone, fast food restaurants in the United States sold over 5 billion hamburgers, making it a favorite meal and an important commodity. Each day in 1996, seven percent of the population ate at the 11,400 McDonald’s; males from their mid-teens to their early 30s made up 75 percent of this business. By then, fast food had become a cultural phenomenon that reached beyond America’s borders. In 1996 McDonald’s owned over 7,000 restaurants in other countries, including: 1,482 in Japan; 430 in France; 63 in China; and so on. McDonald’s has also recognizedsome cultural differences. In Germany, for example, the outlets sell beer, in France they sell wine and beer, and in Saudi Arabia they have separate sections for men and women and close four times a day for prayers. But for the most part the fast food fare is the same, maintaining the same culture on an international level.1.D2.C3.A4.B5.CTask 2: McDonald’sW: John, I’m really hungry!M: Just get anything you want, it’s on me today. I’m thinking about a hamburger and some chicken McNuggets.W: Thanks, man. That sounds good. I love milkshakes here.M: Me, too. The formula of McDonald’s is really special.W: Right. And no matter where you go in the world, you can always see similar menu items and the same high level of quality in McDonald’s.M: It’s true. They also do well because of diversity. I mean, they sell different products according to people’s tastes and preferences in different areas.W: Right. Like the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Seafood Soup that they sell in China. They could never sell that here!M: But I’ve heard that McDonald’s is really losing market share in the States now, and has closed down some restaurants.W: Yeah. It’s just so difficult to stay competitive when there so many fast food chains in the States.I mean there are KFC, Pizza Hut, and A&W, just to name a few.M: It seems that they’re doing better overseas,’ cause they’re really able to sell American culture. W: Yeah. They use all the media they can, and they do a good job.1.They will probably eat a hamburger, some chicken McNuggets, and the shakes.2.McDonald’s is so successful because of its formula and diversity.3.You can always see similar menu items and the same high level of quality.4.McDonald’s is losing market share in the States now and has closed down some restaurants.Because there’re so many fast food chains in the U.S. that it’s difficult for McDonald’s to stay competitive.5.Because they’re able to sell American culture by using all the media they can.Task 3: American Eating HabitsEating habits in America really get a lot of criticism. But the truth is, it matters much where in America you look. In big cities, people are becoming more health-conscious every day. This is shown by what foods they choose to buy in supermarkets, and what restaurants they eat in. There is now a big push for “green” foods that are grown naturally. In cities like New York and Chicago, restaurants offer new and healthy styles to stay ahead of the competition. However, these habits contrast with those in America’s heartland. Here, people tend to eat more traditional and higher fat foods, such as breakfasts of eggs, bacon, sausages, toast and other greasy, but delicious foods. Fast food chain restaurants such as McDonald’s and the Olive Garden, which serve cheaper food, draw a lot of customers and are popular in most places.There are different eating habits across America. In big cities, people have now become morehealth-conscious than ever. There is a big push for “green” foods that are grown naturally. In New York and other big cities, restaurants offer new and healthy styles to stay ahead of the competition. However, people in America’s heartland are quite different. They often eat more traditional and higher fat foods. Fast food chain restaurants draw a lot of customers and are popular in most places.Task 4: An AnnouncementHave you ever dreamed of tasting your favorite McDonald’s foods for only one dollar, and then, adding something to your Extra V alue Meal? Now your dream can come true with McDonald’s Dollar Menu. Great choices. Every day here at McDonald’s. Look for these and more: Salad, Double Cheeseburger, Fries, McChicken Sandwiches, Snack Fruits, Soft Drinks, and Pies. Have a great meal!IV. Speaking OutNow Your TurnJames: Hey, Lisa! The physics exam is over at last! What’re you planning to do this weekend? Lisa: Oh, nothing special. You got any good ideas?James: We haven’t had a party for ages. How about having a pot-luck supper Saturday evening?Each of us can contribute something. We’ll have a good time.Lisa: Good idea! And who do you think we should invite?James: The whole class, of course. The more the merrier.Lisa: Terrific!Model 2 What do you recommend?Now Your TurnWaitress:Here’s the menu.Jennifer:Thanks. Chris, let’s have fried noodles for a change, shall we?Christopher:That sounds good, but it’s not satisfying with only noodles.Jennifer:Waitress, what do you recommend?Waitress:How about seafood with fried noodles and vegetables?Christopher: Good. I like seafood.Jennifer:Same here.Model 3 It’s easier said than done!Now Your TurnSarah: Hi, Jim! You look pale. What’s wrong?James: Well, yesterday I had a huge steak for supper. At night I had a terrible stomachache. Sarah: You shouldn’t have eaten that much. How’re you feeling now?James: Better than I was. But I guess I won’t be able to look a cow in the eye for a while. Sarah: Take my advice! If you eat regular meals, you won’t feel so bad.James: It’s easier said than done. Steak is my favorite.V. Let’s TalkJane: I’m from the Students Union. We’re doing a survey of students’ eating habits. Would you mind if I asked you a few questions?Jim: Will it take long?Jane: No, not really. Fie minutes maybe? There aren’t all that many questions.Jim: And what’s it for exactly?Jane: Well, we want to get an idea of the sort of things students eat on a regular basis, and to find out how aware people are about diet and nutrition and those matters. The intention is to produce an information leaflet about healthy eating.Jim: Yeah, I suppose something like that would be quite useful. Anyway, what do you want to know, exactly?Jane: OK, first question. What would you say your favorite food is?Jim: That’s easy. Hamburgers and fries. Lots of fries1 I must say I like a nice Chinese meal as well.Jane: Mmm. You’re getting into some bad habits there. How many meals do you have a day? I mean sit-down meals, not snacks.Jim: Well, I nearly always oversleep. I usually skip breakfast altogether. And I’d probably just have a chocolate bar for lunch. So I don’t sit down to a meal till evening.Jane: OK. Typical student, I suppose. And how about fresh fruit? Is it important in your diet? Jim: Nah, not really. I know it’s bad, but…I’m just not in the habit really. I suppose I might eat an apple once in a while.1. Hamburgers fries2. Chinese3. cabbage4. skipped5. chocolate6. sit-down7. fruitFor ReferenceAA, suggest vegetables and fruit to your partner.You’re gaining weight soon. I think you should take more green vegetables and fruit.B, say you love meat the best.Don’t mention egetables or fruit. Meat is my favorite. I love it, so does my stomach.A, give your warning of eating fat.Listen, you’ll suffer from eating too much fat.B, say you know the importance of a balanced diet but just cannot change your eating habit. Man, I know a balanced diet is important. But I just can’t change my eating habit.A, stress the importance of a good diet again.Well, I don’t think you’ve ever tried to change it. You know, good diet means good health.B, show your impatience.I knooooow, nutritionistBA, ask the American friend about the Chinese food.Hi, Tony, how would you like these Chinese food, tofu and steamed fish?B, you find the food tastes strange.Well, it tastes…sort of strange. We don’t have stuffs cooked like this.A, ask what the Americans eat.So what do you usually have in America?B, tell what the Americans typically eat and invite A to McDonald’s next time.Er, a typical lunch may consist of a burger or sandwish, a vegetable or fruit salad, a dessert, and a coke or coffee. Nect time I would invite you to a fast food meal at McDonald’s and tell you more about American food.A, say what you fell about B’s words.Oh, that’s really different from ours.VI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Foods in the WorldFood is national and international. Many people like their own national dishes and a variety of foreign ones. You can find European and Oriental restaurants on most large cities. You can find Italian, French, Chinese, and Mexican restaurants in New York, Washington, San Francisco, and many other cities in the United States. As well, you might also find Greek and Middle Eastern restaurants in some cities in the US. American hamburgers and hot dogs are popular in Tokyo and Paris. In almost every country you will find rice, potatoes, eggs, bread, soup, meat, vegetables, milk, fruit, and other basic foods. People all over cook them differently in different countries. People all over the world also prefer different things to drink. The English drink a lot of tea, and the French a lot of wine. Americans prefer coffee, milk or pop. German beer is now completely international. Children are often very conservative about new foods. In the United States they often prefer to eat the same three or four favorite dishes: hamburgers and French fires, hot dogs, fried chicken, and ice cream.1. national international2. national dishes foreign ones.3. hamburgers hotdogs Paris4. tea coffee milk pop5. children three or four hamburgers fried chickenTask 2: GM FoodsThe term GM foods refers to those produced with the latest genetic engineering techniques. In 2000, countries that grew 99% of the global GM crops were the United States, Argentina, Canada, and China. The next decade will see rapid development in Gm products. Gm foods may solve many of the world’s hunger problems, and help protect environment. Yet there are many challenges ahead for governments, especially in the areas of human and environmental safety,labeling and consumer choice, ethics, food security, regulation and international policy. Many people feel that genetic engineering is inevitable and that such a technology should be put to use. However, others warn that we must take care to avoid causing unintentional harm to both human health and the environment as a result of our enthusiasm for this powerful technology.1. F2.F3.T4.F5.FTask 3: HungerI have known bread hunger,Yet have I strength.I have known heart hunger,Yet do I live.I have known soul hunger,And faith is not dead.When the body cried,I lit love in my heart.When the heart wept,I lit a lamp in my soul.Yet all the while,I heard life asking its goal.I was alone looking out of a house,Knowing the empty rooms.。

The business has been in the fa mily for generations and generations. Over time, with the countless c lients that had gone in and out of the office, the marble step in fro nt of the building had developed a big, deep dip in it from all the w ear and tear.The accountant’s friends kept telling him that he had better get it replaced; otherwise he’d be sued if anyone ever slipped and fell. Reluctantly, the accountant called a stonemason to get a quote for th e repairs. When the stonemason got there, the accountant demanded a p rice for a new step.“Ah, big job,” said the e stonemason, “But I suppose I could give you a new step for a hundred pounds.” The accountant was stunned. “Are you crazy, man? I can’t pay you a hundred pounds!” Thinking abou t it for a second, he turned to the stonemason and asked, “What woul d you charge me to dig up the step and turn it over so that the worn part is in the ground and I’d get a new square step?” The stonemaso n hesitated, “20pounds.”“Do it!” Demanded the accountant, “And call me when you’re done.”The accountant went back inside to read his books, but after only 15m inutes the stonemason rang the bell. As the accountant opened the doo r, he saw the stonemason standing there, pointing to a deep dip in th e step. The stonemason laughed as he said, “Your great-great grandda ddy thought of that a hundred and fifty years ago!”Keys: FTFFTFor Reference3. countless clients that had gone in and out of the office4.

You will be “planning your business tree” there and will have to maintain i t for years to come. You have to keep in mind a few things when decid ing on a place t open your business. First of all, you have to take the local economy into consideration. Is your local area growing and building? Are the market trends good? Even if you have to locate your business farther from your home, try to find a place that is building up and bringing people in. The worst thing you can do is to pick a place that is in the “bad area of tow n” because it is less expensive. Your address can be the first thing people will ask for, and it can say a lot about your business.The second thing you have to bear in mind is the job market. Since un employment is low in most area in the Unites States, consider what ty pe of employees you will need and find out if there are many in your area. The amount of money that youwill have t o spend I the recruiti ng phase could be an indicator that you should or should not locate t he business in an area with a different employee pool.Another factor people have to consider is whether you can integrate w ith the local community and get to love it. To make the community war m to you, you should become involved in it by joining the local Chamb er of Commerce, Business Association, City Council Committees, or oth er local organization that could offer you help. Why plan on retiring “one day” to some great location? Why not move there now and start your dream business?21. What is the speaker mainly talking about?22. What must you find if you are going to locate a business at adistance from your home?23. According to the speaker, what is the worst thing you can do?24. What will the recruiting money tell you?25. What can you do the get on well with the locate people?Kes: 1D 2.C3. C 4.A 5.CFor ReferenceTo decide on a good business location, one has to consider the local economy, the job market there, and whether you can integrate wit the local community.IV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 I am having cash problems.Bill: Helen, you started this company only a year ago. If you want i t to grow, I’m afraid you need to do something about cash flow. Helen: Bill, although you’ve worked here only for a couple of month s, you already know this company inside out. I am having cashproblems.Bill: Clearly you don’t have the money you need to buy the equipme nt to be competitive. You have just barely enough funds to cover your day-to-day operational expenses.Helen: I think my best bet is to secure a small-business loan.Bill: I don’t think that’s possible. It seems to me you don’t h ave the collared for a loan.Helen: What can I do then?Bill: Try the Small Business Association. They help underwrite loa ns for a small business.Helen: So, even though I don’t have much collateral, I can still qu ality for a loan?Bill: Under this special program, possibly.Helen:That would really help me cover our overhead. I just need to get some time to get the revenues up.Bill: Apply for the small-business loan, and keep your fingers cro ssed!Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: You’ve worked as a consultant for a long time, so you know the co mpany inside out. I’m having cash problems.B: I see. If you want the company to grow, I’m afraid you need to ha ve more funds. Clearly you don’t have the money you need to buy t he equipment to be competitive. You just barely have enough funds to cover your day-to-day operating expenses.A: I think my best bet is to ask the bank loan.B: I don’t think that’s the best solution. Nowadays the interest ra tes are very high. You’ll have a difficult time paying back the l oan.A: What can I do then?B: Try a business incubator.A: What can I get from them?B: They offer a range of services such as consultancy, training, and more importantly, venture capital.A: Can I really get venture capital from them?B: Possibly, if you prove your company is promising.A: Good, that would really help me cover our overhead. I just need so me time to get revenues up.B: Well, apply for a risk investment, and keep your fingers crossed MODEL2 I have some very bad news.Helen: Bill, I’ve been searching for a loan, but I was rejected ever ywhere.

After a long discussion with my partners, I’ve come to the conclusion that the best course of action is to file fo r bankruptcyBill: What? Bankruptcy? I didn’t know you were in this kind of ser ious financial trouble.Helen: Sales have been low all year long. Now two of our leading comp etitors are discussing a merger. Then we’ll have to face even stiffer competition. I feel the situation is going to go frombad to worse. We simply can’t afford to keep our doors open for long.Bill: When do you plan to make the announcement to tell all the emp loyees?Helen: Early next week.Bill: What kinds of severance package will we able to offer them? Helen: Unfortunately, the best we can do is offer one month’s salar y.Bill: Oh! How terrible!

We need to plan our proposal for this Fri day’s business meeting.Dick: Sure. I’ve summarized the results in the handouts, broken do wn by customer age groups and sporting activities. The surveywas administered to 550 men and women between the age of 18 and 55 years old, and the results have been compiled in the following age groups: 18to 26, 27to 35,36to 45, and 46to 55. According to the results, the most active group involved in sporting activities is between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those36to 45 years old.Martin: Okay.Dick: As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport fol lowed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.Martin: And what about these groups broken down by gender?Dick: Oh, Martin, thanks for bringing that up. Men appears to be sl ightly more active than women in the 18 to 26 year-old age group, but women seem more active in the other three groups Martin: Hmm. Based on what you have said, I think we should consider targeting the 18 to 26 year-old age group more in the future.I also feel we should consider expanding our line of athleticshoes, particularly jogging shoes and tennis footwear. We alsohave to come up with a more appealing slogan aimed at this age group.Dick: I see what you mean. However, the 46 to 55 age group is becom ing more concerned about staying fit. I believe this trend will continue, so we should not neglect them.Martin: I see your point. Well, let’s meet again on Wednesday to irSAMPLEA: How many people do you think we have to survey before we can havea clear idea about the sales potential for each product?B: I think our survey must be administered to at least 300 men and wo men of various ages, incomes and occupations. Otherwise the result s won’t be reliable.A: Perhaps we can use our common sense to predict the results.B: Obviously, young people pay more attention to their clothes than o lder people, and they tend to buy more.A: It’s clear that women are more active in buying dresses. Our prod uction should target women.B: What do you think about the various income groups? Do you think we should aim mainly at the high income group? A: It’s hard to say. Some rich people are very careful with their mo ney. So, we have to wait until the investigation results come out. B: Now let’s switch to sports shoes. Which group do you think may be active?A: I guess the young people may buy the most because many of them like sports a great deal.B: I think this group will be followed by the old group instead of the middle-aged group. The old people are becoming more concerned about staying fit.A: I agree. And I believe this trend will continue, so we shouldn’t neglect them.B: What may be the result broken down by gender?A: Many people think men are more active than women, but I’m not qui te sure.B: Ok, let’s carry out our survey as early as possible and let facts speak for themselves.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Hot Business IdeasBusiness ideas are all around you. Many business ideas come from a ca reful analysis of market and consumer needs. If you are interested in starting a business, but don’t know what product or service you mig ht sell, here are some ways that may help you find one.First of all, you should study how to value to an existing product. T he difference raw wood and finished wooden products is a good example of putting a product through an additional process that increases it s value.But additional processes are not the only way value can be added. You might also add services, or combine one product with other products. For instance, a local farm which sells produce can also offer a vege table delivery service—for a free.What business ideas can you develop along these lines? Focus on what products you might buy, and what you might do to them or with them to create a profitable business.Some people have another way of making profit. They improve an existi ng products or service. We all know that the person who can build a b etter mousetrap will make a lot of money. That person could be you! A local entrepreneur has created an improved version of the hula hoop. It’s bigger and heavier, so hula-hoopers can control it more easily and do more tricks. How did she come up with this business idea? She thought hula hooping would be a fun thing to do with her daughter, bu t found the commercially available product too flimsy.There are very few products or services that can’t be improved. Star t generating business ideas by looking at the products and services y ou use and brainstorming ideas as to how they could be better.20. What is the first way the speaker mentions that helps you produce a business idea?21. Which of the following methods does the speaker NOT mention?22. Why does the speaker mention the mousetrap?23. Which of the following is true according to the passage?24. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.DTask 2: What do you know about business?Historically, the term business referred to activities or interests. By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synony mous with “an individual commercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear intercha ngeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishin g business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fis hing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” may serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”.People establish business in order to perform economic activities. Wi th some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other word s, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generatin g a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of the ir main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways. In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intan gible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds tha n manufacturers.Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of c ommercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types inc lude partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability compan ies, and sole ownerships. Task3: An office boy or a billionaire?A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The human resource manger interviewed him, and gave him a test: clea n the floor.“You are engaged,” he said, “give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application form to fill and tell you when you will star t.” The man replied, “I don’t have a computer or an email.”“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager, “if you don’t have an email, t hat means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have th e job!”The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with on ly 10 dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a crate of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes in a door-to doorround. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 doll ars. The man realizes that he could survive this way, and started to go out early and returned late every day.Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. A little later, he boug ht a cart, then a trunk, then he has his own fleet of delivery vehicl es. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers i n the United States. He started to plan his family’ future, and deci ded to buy life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. Before the conversation was concluded, the broker a sked him for his email address. The man replied,” I have no email.”The broker replied,” You don’t have an email, and yet have succeede d in building an empire! Can you imagine what you could have been you had an email.”The man replied, “ An office boy at Microsoft!”For Reference1. “If you don’t have an email that means you don’t exist.And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have the job!”2.

Litigat ion is never a good thing for any industry or any company. We have sa id for some time that we would go the extra mile to resolve this case. That is exactly what we did in reaching this settlement.The experience of the past the three years hs had a profound impact o n me personally and on our company. We are in a fast-moving, competit ive industry, but we will focus more on how our actions affect other companies.John Ashcroft, U.S Attorney General:Today we are announcing a strong, historical settlement reached by th e Department of Justice and the Microsoft Corporation that will put an end to Microsoft’s unlawful conduct, bring effective relief to the marketplace, and ensure that consumers will have more choices in meet ing their needs of computing and working with their computers. This s ettlement is the right result for consumers and for businesses, the r ight result for the economy, and the right result for government. It provides prompt, effective, certain relief for consumers and removes the uncertainty in the computer market, a critical factor in today’s economy.。

It can only hold two people.. It’s difficult to slow down.. It’s open to bad weather conditions.The Lightning Bug:. It’s very small.. It’s difficult to get in and out.8Reference answersStudent A: The Horseless Sulky was invented by an Italian in the 1930s. it is easy to turn and can go up to 190 kilometers per hour. It is also easy to get into and out of the Horseless Sulky. And it is easy to see things both on the left and on the right.Student B: The Lightning Bug was invented by an American in the 1930s. It can go up to 65 kilometers per hour. It is completely safe because it can stop I a very short time to avoid car crashes and it can’t turn over. The windows are made of plastic instead of glass so that passengers won’t get hurt.Student A: I think the Horseless Sulk is better than the Lightning Bug because it is so easy to get into and out of the Horseless Sulky, and it is easy to see things both on the left and on the right. In contrast, the Lightning Bug is very small and difficult to get in and out. Besides the Horseless Sulky can go so fast and it is three times faster than the Lightning Bug.Student B: I think the Lightening Bug is better than the Horseless Sulky. Although it does not go as fast as the Horseless sulky, it is completely safe because it can’t turn over and it can stop in a very short time to avoid car crashes.

The average one-way commute has grown by 13 percent to 25 minutes. For a growing number of people, getting to work takes more than an hour. In 2000, only in New York State did more than 10 percent of workers spend more than an hour getting to work. Now that situation can be found in several other states as well. Two pint eight million people have so called extreme commutes because they spend more than 90 minutes on their way to work.Steven, an electrical engineer, has an extreme commute between home and work. He learves home before dawn and returns after dark, but as tiring or boring as Stevens trip may sound, he says it’s the way to keep the home and jo he loves. “I have the balance right now,” Steven said. “I could do similar jobs closer, but not with the work rewards and job satisfaction I have now. and I could live closer, but I wouldn’t have the lifestyle that I desire.”Longer commutes frequently involve people who live at one end of the city and work at another. Such a pattern probably begins with companies moving away from the city center, attracting workers to move to less expensive areas further away from the city center. People see this as an opportunity because such aove may provide more affordable housing or better schools. Steven spends about $185 a week on gas. Even high fuel costs can pay off in a better quality of life.Added to long commutes are increased traffic jams, however. Comuters typically spend 47 hours a year in traffic jams, up from 40 hours a decade earlier.Q1: How much time on average do Americans spend on their way to work?Q2: What is the present situation about Americans’ commuting t work?Q3: why does Steven choose to have an extreme commute?Q4: Which of the following is the disadvantage of long commutes?Answers1C 2A 3D 4APassage 2Scripts and answersHumans’ first means of transportation were walking and swimming. 1)Gradually, humans learned to use animals for transportation. The use of animals not only allowed heavier loads to be hauled by them, but also 2)enabled humans to ride the animals so they could travel longer distances in a shorter amount of time. The invention of the wheel helped make animal transportation more efficient through the introduction of 3)vehicles. Also, water transportation 4)dates back to very early times and it was the best way to move large quantities of materials over long distances before the Industrial Revolution. 5)As a result, most cities that grew up as sites for trading have been established along rivers or the coast.Until the Industrial Revolution, transportation was very slow and expensive. After the Revolution, transportation changed 6)thoroughly. In the 19th century, the invention of the steam engine made land transportation independent of human or animal power. Both speed and 7)capacity increased rapidly.With the development of cars at 8)turn of the 20th century, land transportation became more common. In 1903, the first controllable airplane was invented, and after world War I, it became a fast way to transport people and goods. After World War II, 9)automobiles and airplanes became more popular as methods of transportation. Then, after high-speed rail was first introduced in Japan in 1964, passengers started using it in Asia and Europe instead of using airplanes to travel long distances.Now, 10)thanks to the development of technology, human beings are able to enjoy various methods of transportation for their speed and comfort.。
