第8题

听力原文：Man: I've been Chief Executive of the Thorpe Group for eight years now. I started

my career as a bank clerk but I later trained as an accountant. I suppose in one way or another, I've had a lot of experience of the financial side of business.

Nowadays it's my job to know what's happening in the market so every day at work I have financial reports to read. I only get the chance to look at other things - for example business magazines - when I travel abroad.

We invest customers' money in many areas of the market. Traditionally we've invested in property and in manufacturing. However, an industry that is doing very well at the moment is high-tech companies so we plan to increase investment in that area.

Some of our competitors concentrate on achieving a friendly service. This is important but I think that, on the whole, our customers prefer lower charges which is what we guarantee.

Although we encourage our staff to achieve a maximum return on investments, we have strict procedures to make sure that risks are avoided where possible. Some companies may put profits first but it's important that our customers see us as a safe investment.

Next month The Thorpe Group will merge with Chart well Associates which means our company will be relocating to new offices. Most things, however, won't change - for example we won't lose any staff and there are no plans to invest in different areas of the market.

We are a market leader because of our experienced staff. When we take on staff we look for people who will perform. well in a team. Since we train staff in many of the skills they need, a financial background is not essential.

？Look at the notes below.

？Some information is missing.

？You will hear Peter Dudley, Chief Executive of the Thorpe Group, giving a talk about his work to a group of business students.

？For each question 16-22, fill in the missing information in the numbered space using one or two words.

？After you have listened once, replay the recording.

What Is Missing？Carlos Ghosn, the Brazilian-born car executive, is head of the Japanese ca

What Is Missing？

Carlos Ghosn, the Brazilian-born car executive, is head of the Japanese car manufacturer, Nissan. He spoke to reporters about Japanese economy. [TONE]∥[TONE]

NEWSWEEK: Japan's economy is even worse off now than when you arrived in 1999. Did you expect it to get this bad？ [TONE]∥[TONE]

GHOSN: Little by little, I've come to think that what's remarkable about Japan is that there is so much potential. I can see it inside and outside Nissan, but so little is delivered. Japan is always extremely strong when there's a mission. The glorious years have always been driven by a strong, clear vision. It would be fair to say that this vision doesn't exist today—or if it exists, it is blurred. Or fake. People talk about problems, with bad loans and things. What is missing is a clear vision that would mobilize all the qualities Japanese people can show in periods of challenge. [TONE]∥[TONE]

Why are people saying Japan has a problem？ What goals would be realistic？ [TONE]∥[TONE]

First, Japan did not grow as much as people were expecting. Second, the creation of value and wealth were on very strong up trend until the 1990s. How can Japan resume wealth creation？ And how can Japan grow again？ Let me give you an example in the automobile market. At its peak, 6 million cars were sold in Japan per year. Today we're barely at 4 million. One objective may be to say: "How can we return to the peak years？" Coming back to the best performance Japan has reached would represent a big jump forward. [TONE]∥[TONE]

Why don't more companies put their own houses in order？ Nissan is certainly a model. [TONE]∥[TONE]

There is a lot of coverage of Nissan. From the beginning we anticipated this. I had a sense that we needed to be extremely transparent because we would be introducing a lot of change, and for change to work people need to know why and how we're making these changes. Because Japan's strengths are (found) particularly at the base. The work force is second to none, and once they are convinced that this is the direction to take, people are willing to go the extra mile for these things to happen. [TONE]∥[TONE]

Many Japanese fear radical reform. Is there a middle way？ [TONE]∥[TONE]

I personally don't believe in middle ways. I'm not telling you this to be provocative; at Nissan we would never have taken the middle road. When I met Nissan's unions in July of 1999. They came to my office and at the end of these informal talks, I asked if there was anything they wanted to tell me as we worked to come up with a plan. They said: "Yes, we have something. Whatever you have to do, do it fast." They just wanted to get out of the tunnel. [TONE]∥[TONE]

Is Japan overreacting to the threat from China？ [TONE]∥[TONE]

Japan is establishing a very solid relationship with China. When you see the transfers of technologies, the investments and collaborations, Japan is finding very smart ways to associate itself with the government. ObvioUsly, there are many countries that would love to take Japan's place. But they will do it if, and only if, Japan allows them to do it. I don't think there is a major outside threat to Japan. The major threat is internal. We're not recognizing the potential of the country and not acting on this potential. [TONE]∥[TONE]

With Japan's stock prices at 20-year lows, is now a good time to invest？ [TONE]∥[TONE]

This is the moment to invest, both for Japanese people and for those outside Japan who are seeking opportunity. It will have to be active investment; you'll have to work on it to make sure it delivers. But it's an opportunity, no doubt about it. [TONE]∥[TONE]

听力原文：F: Good morning, Professor Zhang. Welcome to our program. Would you like to say h

ello to the audience？

M: Hello, everyone! And good morning, Miss Zhou. I'm glad to be here to attend your program.

F: It's our honor to have you here, Professor, In the past Labor's Day, we enjoyed a seven-day break. Many people spent their holidays traveling. Yet, instead of relaxing themselves, they found themselves having suffered a lot. They were trapped in hotels, railway stations, and airports because they couldn't get the tickets back; they were unable to appreciate the scenery because there were huge crowds all the time. They complained to the travel agencies for their terrible services. They believed that the government is only interested in making money and care about nothing else. What's your comment on it？

M: Well, the so-called "holiday economy" should have been a good thing. To government, tourism contributes significantly to GNP, it boosts the local commerce, it provides seasonal jobs for many people thus solve or ease the problem of unemployment, and helps them to understand different customs, widen their horizons, gives them a chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery and the wonders of mankind.

F: Then how come the holiday turned out to be a big headache？

M: Well, the reasons are rather complicated. To put it briefly, the government had underestimated the number of the tourists. They were not fully prepared. This is indeed a lesson for us and worth thinking carefully. There is a huge potential market for developing tourism, but you have to invest a lot of things like boner facilities, better service before you make good money.

Where did this dialogue take place？

A．In a TV studio.

B．In an auditorium.

C．In a laboratory.

D．In a classroom.
