What I like about the Fortune 500 list

The Fortune 500 isn't made for light reading. (8) ________ The 500 is based on U. S.-based compaflje5, publicly reported revenue, not on any quality-based metrics, You get high-grade companies such as Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (No. 7) nestled near utter dogs such as Fannie Mae (No. 5). (9) ________ My favorites:

LeBron who? Last summer, Cleveland sustained a psychic trauma when basketball star LeBron James dumped the Cavaliers and went to Miami. Now the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has gotten a little mojo back by adding a company to the Fortune 500: Cliffs Natural Resources. (10)________It could have been better for Cleveland, though. The company used to be known as Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. but renamed itself in 2008, saying, "We're no longer only a North American iron ore player.”LeBron-Cliffs, anyone?

Chrysler returns. The automaker fell off the list 13 years ago, when it was acquired by Daimler-Benz (later DaimlerChrysler) in what proved to be one of the worst corporate deals ever, right up there with Time Warner (owner of Fortune's publisher) selling itself to AOL in 2001. Daimler dumped Chrysler onto the Cerberus leveraged-buyout firm, which put up almost nothing but still overpaid. (11) ________ It has no publicly traded stock. Under the terms of its federal bailout, however, it has to file financial reports with the SEC, so it's list-eligible again. Welcome back, No. 59.

Exit Unisys. Enter Cognizant. These two information technology firms are heading in opposite directions. (12) _______ But the company's revenue dropped in 2010, and this year it's fallen off the list, to No. 520. Meanwhile, Cognizant, on Fortune' s list of fastest-growing companies for a record eight straight years, has grown its way into the 500(No. 484) only three years after first making the Fortune 1,000. (13) ________ Unisys, by contrast, was formed in 1986 by combining old-line computer companies Burroughs and Sperry.

Finally, Buffett. His Berkshire Hathaway cracked the top 10 in revenue and profit for the first time because last year it bought the 78 percent of Burlington Northern that it didn't already own. (Buffett, a longtime director of The Washington Post Co.,steps down this month.)As part of that deal, Buffett split Berkshire Hathaway' s B shares 50 for 1.

(14) _________ So I decided it was time to sell half my Berkshire stake, held in an IRA, into the run-up. The stock's since risen 10 percent. Oh, well. Yet another example of why he's Warren Buffett and I write for a living.

Now match the statements (8-14) to the letter (A, B, C or D).

A Unisys was one of only 62 companies to have been in the 500 every year since Fortune started the list in 1955.

B Cliffs, which is heavy into iron ore pellets, coal and other industrial raw materials, doubled its revenue with the aid of acquisitions and leapt to No. 477 on this year's list from No. 750 last year.

C Cognizant, formed in 1994, is a creature of the offshoring world, with most of its development centers in India.

D I found some of this year's corporate comings and goings especially interesting.

E That got it listed on the S&P 500 index, forcing index investors to buy it and running up its price.

F Chrysler went broke and is now run by Fiat; it is owned primarily by Fiat and a trust for Chrysler workers and retirees.

G But if you leaf through the list at random, the way I used to leaf through the Book of Knowledge encyclopedia when I was a kid, you come across all sorts of stuff that's kind of fun.

听力原文:F: Henry. why? You look so worried?

M: It's my weight. I have been one kilogram thinner recently. I don't know what is wrong. I keep on eating and eating to put on a little weight, but it simply doesn't work !

F: I think the most important thing is that you should keep a good mood, take everything easy and everything will be OK, including your weight.

M: Hey, Laura, don't you feel worried about your weight? You are getting more and more plump.

F: As a matter of fact, I don't worry about it.

M: It seems that there are too many differences between you and me.

F: Yes. And I guess there are actually too many differences between thin people and fat people.

M: For example?

F: For example, thin people believe in logic. Fat people see all? ides. The sides fat people see are rounded blobs, usually gray, always not clear and truly not worth worrying about.

M: But thin people persist. We always have a long list of logical things ready to tell other people.

F: But fat people are much nicer. We smile all the day. We know all about the mystery of life.

M: We thin people, however, like to make plans. Sometimes our programs seem too dull, too hard, too off the mark to many people.

F: We fat people like enjoying life. We are generous, giving, and gallant.

M: Oh, I wish I could become a nice fat guy instead of a mean thin one.

Why couldn't the man put on more weight?

A.He hasn't eaten enough.

B.He worries too much.

C.He hasn't had a right plan.

SECTION B PASSAGES

Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

听力原文: Tonight we'll talk about one approach to structuring decision-making on a specific topic, that is, AHP, or Analytic Hierarchy Process.

The first step is to develop a hierarchy by breaking the problem down into its components, and then prioritizing them. The important thing is not the mathematics of it so much as the concept.

Let's say, if I was trying to buy a house, I start with my main goal. And then I break it down into smaller parts. I would have to determine the goal for the house- hunting effort. Well, let's just say, make the best choice in buying a new house, that's the goal.

Now that you've established a goal, you establish your criteria. Under criteria I would list what were the important factors that will influence the decision, things like the cost, location, floor plan or the layout of the rooms.

Then I get down to the subcriteria under each of these criteria. Let's say, under floor plan, the subcriteria are, you want a big kitchen, 3 bedrooms, a basement. After you've determined all the criteria and subcriteria, you go back and start making pair wise comparisons between them.

You move through the hierarchy making judgments about one pair of choices at a time. So AHP requires you to develop a schematic model of what you're looking for. And when you start comparing them, it enables you to come up with the relative importance of each factor at a given level. It not only helps make the best decision, you're also a lot clearer on why you made the decision.

What is the talk mainly about?

A.A comparison of two approaches to decision-making.

B.A formula for evaluating business plans.

C.A process for improving decision-making.

D.A method for gaining consensus within groups.
