WSG&R boasts 600 lawyers and represents around half of Silicon Valley's public companies, including Apple, Sun Microsystems and Google. Last year it ranked first in private-equity and venture-capital deals, with nearly twice as many as its closest rival. Over the past five years WSG&R has worked on over 1,000 mergers and acquisitions, collectively worth over $260 billion.
The recent troubles cast a shadow over WSG&R's reputation. Although Mr. Sonsini is not accused of wrongdoing himself, many of his firm's clients are on the ropes. Former executives at Brocade Communications suffered criminal charges in July. Mr. Sonsini served on Brocade's board until last year and his firm was its outside counsel. He also was on the boards of Pixar, Echelon, Lattice Semiconductor, LSI Logic and Novell-all firms at which the issuing of stock options is being called into question.
WSG&R dismisses the idea that Mr. Sonsini faced a conflict of interest by acting as both director and legal adviser to so many firms and says he did not advise HP in its investigation of board members. Mr. Sonsini initially said it was "well done and within legal limits". It now seems it was neither.
At the beginning of the text, the author stresses ______.
A.the public ignorance of Larry Sonsini
B.the popularity of Larry Sonsini
C.the failure of California's technology
D.the public recognition of California's technology

听力原文:Adviser: Good afternoon. How can I help you?
Student: Good afternoon. My name is Helena Schwarz. I have an appointment at three.
Adviser: Ah, yes. Come in. Please, take a seat .... Now, what can I do for you?
Student: Well, I need some advice about my studies. I'm a foreign student Q21
—from Germany—and, well, I heard that this is the place
to come.
Adviser: It certainly is. So, what kind of problems are you having? It's quite normal for students to meet problems, particularly overseas seas students who might not be familiar with the British way of life or education system.
Student: Well, my first problem is the workload.
Adviser: That's a common problem, even with British students.
Student: It seems to me that the biggest difference between university and secondary school is that university students have to do a lot of work on their own, and it's sometimes useful to get advice on how to take control of your time and work effectively.
Adviser: You're right. The obvious thing to do is to make a schedule Q22
and stick to it. Bear in mind that there is enough time to do the
work and enough time for extra-curricular activities.
Student: You mean that I shouldn't overload myself.
Adviser: Right, but moreover, be careful to spread your work out over the weeks and months. Don't do anything for a while, then get worried because you have little time to get assignments finished.
Student: Yes, that's clear.
Adviser: We get a lot of students coming to us with that problem, so
we've produced a leaflet about it. You should have received Q23
one during orientation, but sometimes ... well, here you are.
Student: Thank you. I'll read it carefully later.
Adviser: OK. And feel free to come back if you have any questions about it.
Student: OK. My second problem is with research.
Adviser: Are you going to complain that the library isn't open at the Q24
weekends?
Student: How did you guess?
Adviser: We get so many students complaining about that. We are trying
to get that changed, but ... well, to be honest, the library Q25
staff already work long shifts and unless we can get extra staff,
the library has to remain closed at the weekends.
Student: I understand, but ...
Adviser: I know. It makes organising your time even more important. Make sure that you get all the books you need from the library before the weekend. Then, devote some of your weekend time to making notes from the books at the weekend.
Student: The problem is that I'm easily distracted when I'm working at Q26
home rather than in the library.
Adviser: Well, an alternative strategy is to work longer hours during the Q27
week, when the library is open, and do no work at all at the
weekends. Sometimes, it's very useful to forget about studies
for a day or two each week.
Student: Yes. That might be better for me. I can concentrate on my work in the library and then leave the weekends free. Also, I have some problems, with my essay assignments. Could you have a look at these and tell me what you think?
Adviser: Certainly .... Ah, I see. Well, even if you plan your writing Q28
carefully, this can come to nothing if the assignment doesn't

听力原文: Gunmen assassinated two Sunni Arabs involved in the drafting of Iraq's constitution Tuesday, another blow to U.S. and Iraqi efforts to draw members of the disaffected community away from the insurgency and into the political process.
Mijbil Issa, a committee member, Dhamin Hussein al-Obeidi, an adviser to the group, and their bodyguard died in a hail of gunfire from two vehicles as they left a restaurant in Baghdad's Karradah district, police said.
Issa, a prominent lawyer, was among 15 Sunni Arabs appointed last month to the 55-member constitutional committee—made up mostly of Shiites and Kunds—to give the Sunni minority a greater voice in building a new Iraq. Ten other Sunnis, including al-Obeidi, were named as advisers to the committee.
On Wednesday, a suicide attacker wearing an explosives belt detonated himself outside an army recruiting center in Baghdad, killing at least 10 people, police and army officials said. Dr. Muhannad Jawad from Yarmouk Hospital said 21 people were also injured.
Insurgents had threatened Sunnis who help draft the constitution, and two committee members resigned earlier because they feared for their lives. Issa was the first to be assassinated.

A、A Coaching involves two or more people sitting down together to talk through issues that have come up recently at work, and analysing how they were managed and how they might be dealt with more effectively on subsequent occasions. Coaching thus transfers skills and information from one person to another in an on-the-job situation so that the work experience of the coach is used to advise and guide the individual being coached. It also allows successes and failures to be evaluated in a non-threatening atmosphere.
B、B Coaching means influencing the learner's personal development, for example his or her confidence and ambition. It can take place any time during an individual's career. Coaching is intended to assist individuals to function more effectively, and it is a powerful learning model. It begins where skills-based training ends, and helps individuals to use formally learnt knowledge in day-to-day work and management situations. Individuals being coached are in a demanding situation with their coach, which requires them to consider their own behaviour and question their reasons for doing things.
C、C The coach professionally assists the career development of another individual, outside the normal manager/subordinate relationship. In theory, the coaching relationship should provide answers to every problem, but in practice it falls short of this. However, it can provide a space for discussion and feedback on topics such as people management and skills, behaviour patterns, confidence-building and time management. Through coaching, an organisation can meet skills shortages, discuss targets and indicate how employees should deal with challenging situations, all at short notice.
D、D Effective coaches are usually those who get satisfaction from the success of others and who give time to the coaching role. Giving people coaching responsibilities can support their development, either by encouraging management potential through small-scale one-to-one assignments, or by providing added job satisfaction to managers who feel they are stuck in their present jobs. A coach is also a confidential adviser, accustomed to developing positive and effective approaches to complex management, organisational and change problems.
