MODULE 2
2.1 Company benefits
T ask 1: Speaking T est—Part 2
I.Speaking Practice
There’re a number of points to consider then arranging in-house training. The first thing is the training needs of staff. As we know, the object of training is the staff. Only when we know and meet their requirements, can we improve their knowledge and skills needed for higher quality performance and more effective work. Otherwise, it will be purposeless and a waste of time.
The second thing to remember is the quality and influence of the trainer. To make the training effective, the trainer plays a very important role. A qualified trainer with great influence can make the training more professional, appealing and convincing. Since most staff nowadays are quite busy, they will not attend a training offered by an obscure, inexperience and non-professional trainer.
In addition to that, length of training should be well-planned. It cannot be too long or too short.
A lengthy training may be tedious and exhaustive; while too short training may be fruitless.
OK, I think that just covers everything. Thank you!
When selecting applicants for a job, the first thing to consider is their personal qualities. A candidate with relevant qualities can ensure that he or she has the required abilities, knowledge or techniques pertinent to that job. And companies don’t have to prepare further training for them when they start work thus reduces costs.
Secondly, a candidate needs to have previous working experience, since a person with lots of
academic certificates may not know how to cope with real situations. However, a candidate with experience will find it much easier to adapt himself or herself to the work environment and to play his or her role.
Apart from these, you also need to consider the communicating ability of the candidate. By communicative skills, we mean having the ability to express ideas clearly, be cooperative and get on well with other people which will be very important for him or her to play a good part in the team work.
Well, that’s all my points. Thank you!
T ask 2: Presenting your company

Many entrepreneurs see to view employee training and development as more optional than essential … a viewpoint that can be costly to both short-term profits and long-term progress许多企业家认为员工的培训和发展可有可无，而非至关重要，认为这对公司的短期利益和长远发展来说代价太高。

After a paid holiday, people will be physically and psychologically relaxed, and be energetic, fresh and more prepared for the challenge of their work.带薪度假之后，人们会感到身心放松，精力充沛，神清气爽地投入到有挑战性的工作中去。
Promotion brings higher salary, sense of fulfillment, more opportunity and more responsibility.升职带来更高的薪水、成就感、更多的机会和责任

Task 2) Listening—Presentations
I. How to read numbers
1. 基数词的读法
a．在英式英语中，一个数的最后两位(十位和个位)得用“and\'’，但美式英语中则不用。如：3，077读作：U.S：three thousand seventy—seven．
b．不定冠词“a”只在数的开头才和hundred，thousand等连用。试比较：
146读作：a hundred(and)forty-six
2，146读作：two thousand，one hundred(and)forty six
c.1，000这个整数我们说a thousand，在and前我们也说a thousand，但是在一个有百位数的数
目前就得说one thousand试比较：
1,031读作：a thousand，(and)thirty-one,
1,150读作：one thousand，one hundred(and)fifty
d. hundred，thousand和million这几个词的单数可以和：“a”者“one”连用，但是不能单独
使用。在非正式文体中“a”比较常见；当我们说话比较准确的时候就用“one”试比较：
I Want to live for a hundred years．
The journey took exactly one hundred days．
e.我们常常说eleven hundred(1，100)，twelve hundred(1,200)等，而不说one thous and one
hundred．从1，100到1,900之间的整数，这种说法最常见。
f.5位以上数字的读法
11，234读作：eleven thousand two hundred(and)，thirty—four
155,721读作：one hundred(and)fifly-fivethous and seven hundred(and)twenty-one 6，155，702读作：six million one hundred(and)fifly-five thous and seven hundred and two
26，000，008读作：twenty-six million and eight
326，414，718读作：three hundred(and)twenty-six mil-lion，four hundred(and)four teen thous and，seven hundred(and)eigh-teen
4，302，000，000读作：four billion three hundred(and)two million
由以上一组数字可以看出，多位数由右向左每3位有一逗号，这个逗号的作用非同小可，在记忆数字时，它可以帮我们很大的忙!
逆向第一个逗号读thousand；向左再推三位，第二个逗号读million；第三个逗号读billion；
第四个逗号就是trillion。这几个逗号的作用在于，当我们听到若干thousand时，立即写下这个数，并在其后打一个逗号，并留出3位；当听到若干million，则写下数字，并在其后打一逗号，留出6位；听到若干billion，方法同上，在后面留出9位，后面的million、thousand依此法类推，让所有数字各就其位。
例如，当你听到“twenty thous and andfour\'’写出20，“and four”意为后一组仅有个位，即：004，那么，这个数字完整地写下来就是20，004；若听到“six million twenty thousand four hundred and twenty—three，”则第一步先写：6，020，再将最后一组423写在第一个逗号后面。完整的翠字为6，020，423。若听到“One billion，one hundred and four million，twenty thousand four hundred and twenty-three”：主第一步写出1，104，第二步接下去写第三组020，第三步二写423，这样得到的完整数字便是1，104，020，423，由此：见这个三位一逗号的作用有多大。只要我们在平时的训练中加强对三位数读写的训练，能分辨“ty”与“teen\'’，并能借助这个不可缺少的“逗号”，无论数字多么大，也不会对我们造成障碍。
2. 分数的读法
分数、小数和百分比的读法；分数中分子用基数词表示，分母用序数词表示。先读分子，后读分母。当分子大于1时，分母要加“s”。例如
1/2读作：a／one half(口语中更倾向于用“a”代替“one”)
1/3读作：a／one third
1/8读作：an／one eighth
1/4读作：a／one quarter(fourth)
2/3读作：two thirds
1/5/9读作one and five ninths
比较复杂的分数常常用over这个词表示。如：
317/509读作：three hundred and seventeen over five hundred and nine
3/4hour，7／lOmile则说three quarters of an hour(三刻钟)，seven tenths of a mile(十分之七英里)。
3. 年代及日期的读法
数字表示的年份通常分成两半来说。
2000B．C．读作：two thousand BC
1558读作：fifteen fifty-eight
1603读作：six teen(hundred and)three／sixteen oh three
921读作：nine twenty-one
II. Structure of presentation
A. Today I’d like to tell you about …
Good morning and thanks for coming.
With a turnover of …the company develops / manufactures / markets …
B. Finally I’d like to talk about …
If you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer them at the end.
Then I’ll give an overview of …
In my brief presentation we’ll begin by looking at …
C. Here you can see …
First of all there’s …/ and finally there’s …
D. OK, let’s move on to look at …
One thing I’d like to point out is …
Take a look at this chart, which shows …
E. Are there any questions?
F. So that brings me to the end of my presentation.
Thanks for listening.
Task 3) Speaking---Giving a presentation
T ask 3: Writing T est—Part 1
A memo
I. Format: Memo
商务便函与便条: 六个部分组成：
1、Memo：Memo是Memorandum缩写
2、To：这一标题后面应写收信人的姓名与职衔，姓名前可以用尊称或不用，如：
To：Mr. John Smith，Sales Manager
3、From：这一标题后应写发信人的姓名与职衔：职衔可根据需要决定写或不写，但姓名前不要用尊称。
4、Date：日期的写法同书信里日期写法的要求完全一样，不要用数字来表示月份。
5、Subject：这一标题后是写事由的，即用一个或几个词汇简单概括便函的内容，以便查阅。事由必须简洁明了，不要用完整的句子，如：
Changes in Travel Advance Form
Promotion of Staff
Vacation Schedule
Participation in Training Programs
6、Message
正文常常不需要注明这一标题，商务便函的正文可长可短，使用简短的句子和段落。每段一层意思。
商务便函还可以根据实际需要在末尾增加发信人的姓名首字母、附件、副本抄送等。II. Possible answer

Teamwork reflects the combined experiences, knowledge, intelligence and views of a group of people, so it will definitely improve the quality and efficiency of the work. Secondly, keeping to schedule is also important. Time is always of essence for a project. You should ensure that you would be running before the schedule rather than after it.

People with a wide range of experiences can enhance the chance of the successfully sorting out problems. 2. What is important when choosing people to work in teams? ●Variety of experience ●Personal qualities ●Attitude Firstly, variety of experience is very important to a team member, because you never know what kind of problems might suddenly come up to you. Experiences in different fields will enhance the chance of successfully sorting out problems with you knowledge which is based on your past experience Secondly, personal qualities are also important. The basis of the team work is mutual trust and friendly atmosphere, which requires team members to be patient, modest and to have good interpersonal skills. What’s more, attitude should be also taken into account. As the old saying goes “Attitude is everything”. It has a direct impact on the success or failure of the teamwork.

T est2 Part one： 《Successful Time Management》，成功的时间管理。文章针对怎么利用时间、提高工作效率提出了一些建议。 第一题，为了完成好一个任务，没有必要处理每一个细节。答案是C段的最后一句话，而且这句话同时是第一题和第四题的答案所在：Unless you have spare time, do not spend extra hours on an activity in an effort to cover absolutely everything.除非你有空闲的时间，否则不要在一件事情上花费额外的时间去努力涉及到所有事情。cover absolutely everything可以对应于deal with every detail。 第二题，如果你有很多要做的，也许需要拒绝以后的工作。答案是B段的最后一句，有点绕：This may require you to be firm and avoid agreeing to more than is realistic.这需要你变得坚定，避免答应超出现实的工作。more than is realistic，也就是眼前无法完成的工作，即work in the future。 第三题，任何计划行为都需要建立在一个有规律的基础上。答案在A段。A段整个就是讲的计划的重要性，有计划，才能合理安排时间。中间说有人喜欢在每天开始的时候计划，有人喜欢在结束前。答案是这么一句：you may need to experiment to find what suits you best-find some way of fitting the activity into your schedule.你必须去试验寻找到最适合你的——寻找将这个活动融入到你的时间表的某种方法。要让计划融入进你的时间表，也就是说计划要成为你的日程的固定部分，即题目说的take place on a regular basis。 第四题，在第一题已经说了，C段的最后一句，extra hours可以对应于additional time。 第五题，可能有些例行的任务不需要被执行。答案是D段的第一句：If your review of a period of time shows that you are spending time on things that are not really necessary or important, then think hard about whether you can afford this time如果回顾某段时间发现你在一些并不是真正必要或者重要的事情上花费了时间，那么你需要仔细考虑这次你是否花的起。言下之意，有些things that are not really necessary or important（some routine tasks）可以不必花时间做(do not need to be carried out)。 第六题，如果你觉得自己工作负担过重，那么查明原因很重要。答案是B段的这么一句： This is not a crime, but you must examine the reasons for such a situation and then plan a course of action。examine the reasons可以对应于identify the cause。 第七题，各个等级的人都会进行浪费时间的活动。答案在D段，需要提炼。D段整个讲的都是不要把时间浪费在不必要的事情上。前面说不要干一些routine task，后面说顶端的经理们也会误用他们的努力。最后一段盘点了很多人，前面的many people，后面的even top manager，和在一起就是题目说的people at all levels。不管是routine task，还是misdirecting their efforts，都是time-wasting activities。 Part two： 《Staff appraisals》，员工评估。很多公司的员工和经理都害怕评估，但是好的评估可以增进员工的忠诚度和满意感，给公司带来益处。

模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题！ 剑桥商务英语中级考试试题及答案解析(四) 一、中READING （PART ONE ）（共7小题,共7.0分）· Read these sentences . · Which type does each sentence (1--7) describe? · For each sentence mark one letter A, B, C or D on your Answer Sheet. 第1题 A Many companies in the U. S. begin to realise that investors demand financial reporting to be truly presented: creative accounting is no longer acceptable. In response to the criticism about how it booked the gain on the sale of one of its businesses. IBM announced on Feb. 19th that it would expand the informaton it provides investors on such things as its intellectual-property income and the impact on earnings of the company's overfunded pension plan. And a day later, General Electric Co. Chairman and Chief Executive Jeffrey R. Immelt also pay heed to investors' calls for better disclosure by promising to provide more detail on how the company's individual units —including its finance departrment. GE Capital —churn out their earnings. B Expect this lifting of the veil to spread rapidly throughout corporate America, In the wake of Enron's collapse and questionable accounting at telecommunications companies such as Global Crossing Ltd., investors are demanding better. more frequent, and more expansive information about companies' financial health. This rising pressure will force executives in boardrooms across the country to wrestle with exactly how much new information to reveal, much less the question of how to flag changes for investors without causing their stocks to tank. "GE and IBM are bellwethers," says Patrick S. McGurn, vice-president at proxy advisory service Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. "You will see a huge wave of imitation." C Of course, that's good for shareholders —and for the long-term health of the market, But the tsunami of new disclosures, unfortunately, isn't necessarily what the recovering economy needs right now. The trick will be to strike the right balance. Companies that reveal too little, too late will get punished in the market. But dumping too much on shareholders may only muddy the picture further. "If you give too much information, people can get overwhelmed by the minutia, and the important stuff gets buried." says Charles M. Elson, director of the Centre for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. D In fact, IBM and G E join a growing list of companies that have already been compelled to improve their disclosure, At Tyco International Ltd., which has been buffeted by concerns about its complex accounting and financial health, senior execs have begun holding weekly phone conferences with analysts and investors to address questions about its accounting and operations. Franchising giant Cendant Corp. has put detailed information on its Website about its off-balance-sheet entities, while hotel operator Marriott International Inc. recently provided details on write-offs it has taken for loan guarantees as well as some hotel-development projects.
最新BEC中级第二辑阅读真题及答案详解
1 the contact between coach and employee not solving all difficulties at work 2 the discussion of how certain situations could be better handled if they occur again 3 a coach encouraging an employee to apply what has been taught to routine work situations 4 coaching providing new interest to individuals who are unhappy in their current positions 5 coaching providing a supportive environment to discuss performance 6 employees being asked to analyse themselves and practise greater self-awareness 7 coaching enabling a company to respond rapidly to a lack of expertise in a certain area Coaching 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 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 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 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. 这篇文章讲的是培训（coaching）的作用。培训对一个公司的发展和员工的成长都是至 关重要的。文章的内容比较泛，但是题目的答案比较明显。 第一题，教练和员工之间的接触不能解决工作中的所有困难。答案是C段的这么一句： In theory, the coaching relationship should provide answers to every problem, but in practice it falls short of this.理论上，培训可以提供所有问题的答案。但是实践中达不到这样。Fall short of是关键词。

TEST2 PART 1 这篇文章讲的是倾听（listening）的重要性。一个好的管理者必然是一个好的倾听者，所以要讲究倾听的艺术。 第一题，有时坚持进一步的解释是很有必要的。答案是B段的这么一句：It may mean quizzing the speaker for additional information or for clarification - it is always better to ask than to continue regardless and get things wrong它可能意味着为了进一步的信息和说明去询问说话的人——问总比不顾情况的继续并且把事情办错的好。这里的additional information对应于further explanation. 第二题，不能在别人还在说的时候就开始关注自己的回应。答案是C段的第一句：The most common bad habit we have is to start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject long before the other speaker has finished。我们最常见的坏习惯就是在讲话者远还没结束的时候就开始思考我们将对这个话题说些什么。这里的before the other speaker has finished就是others are still speaking，focus on your response 就是start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject。 第三题，人们不愿意承认自己没有听好。答案是A段的第一句：Too often we accuse others of not listening, pretending that we ourselves are faultless, yet in our hearts we know that many of the mistakes we make come about because we haven't listened carefully enough。我们经常指责别人没有好好听，假装我们自己是无可指责的，其实在我们心里知道，很多我们所犯的错误都是由于听的不够仔细。这句的意思就是说我们心里知道什么原因，但是口头上喜欢指责别人。也就是第三题题干说的不愿意承认。 第四题，从说话者的视角去考虑问题是有好处的。答案是D段的这么一句：Equally importantly you should put yourself in the other person's place, both intellectually and emotionally。同样重要的是你必须把自己置于别人的位置上，既是智力上的也是情感上的。这里的put yourself in other person’s plac e就是seeing things from the speaker’s perspective。

《…Businessman of the Year' A ward》年度企业家奖。分别介绍了这个奖项的四个候选人的英雄事迹。 第一题，这个企业家成功的定位了不同的消费群体。答案在B段：He began refocusing the brand at the higher quality end of the food market and launched several own-brand initiatives for the health conscious。他开始将品牌定位在高质量的食品市场并且发起了几项注重健康的自主品牌的运动。Health conscious是指注重健康的。一个是高质量的食品市场，一个是注重健康的，联合起来，就是瞄准了不同的消费市场，即不同的消费群体。 第二题，通过小心的前进计划，这个企业家帮助公司度过了一个困难时期。答案是D段的这么一句：budgets and forecasts are what is needed to make a company successful, particularly now that the advertising market has been hit by recession.。预算和预告正是使得公司可以成功的，尤其当现在整个广告市场被衰退袭击的时候。Budgets and forecast就是题干中说的careful forward planning，successful对应于survive，a different period对应于the market has been hit by recession。 第三题，因为这个企业家的思维方式，公司对待变化更加开明了。答案是A段的这么一句：He is credited with reinventing Fentons Finance - revitalising its culture of inflexibility。他以重塑了Fentons Finance而受到嘉奖——给了固定守旧的文化以新的生命。more open to change就可以对应于revitalising its culture of inflexibility。revitalising是give new life to的意思。 第四题，尽管有反对意见，这个企业家还是制定并执行了某些决定。答案是C段的这么一句：he has been courageous in pushing through the appointment of controversial or inexperienced chief executives to companies within the group在推动某些争议性的或者是经验不足的执行官的任命时他很有勇气。从controversial和courageous可以看出来，这些任命时不完全被接受的，有反对意见（opposition），但他还是坚持了。 第五题，这个企业家通过让人们误会自己的意图而取得某些成功。答案是A段的这么一句：He led everyone to believe he was opposed to large mergers and then jumped on the Westcombe Bank opportunity at just the right moment他让所有人相信他是反对大的并购的，然后在最佳时期跳上Westcombe银行的机会（即收购了这个银行）。let everyone believe，也就是misleading people about his intentions。 第六题，这个企业家的能力最初在雇佣他的公司里受到了怀疑。答案是B段最后一句，稍微隐晦点：This should be extremely satisfying for Nash, who had left the retailer in 1986, disappointed after failing to secure the top job.因为无法得到高层的职位而失望离开，结果因为他的决策，公司股价上升了，让他很满足。意思就是本来以这个人的能力是可以胜任高层的工作的，但是他却没有得到。 第七题，这个企业家因为处理一些商业利益的能力而受到仰慕。答案在C段。C段最后说这个人在不同的公司担任要职（be chairman），不同的公司会有商业利益的冲突，而他却能好好处理（manage），所以答案选C。《Setting up an appraisal scheme》，制定评估计划。 第八题，前面说做评估最重要的是决定关键的目标，以及计划的真正目的。那么接着应该说的就是这个计划的目的是什么。符合这一条件的是D：理想的说，这是为了提供一个帮助员工发展的支持性框架。 第九题，这一段是讲选人的重要。空格前面说要挑选一个了解各个员工潜在需求的人，后面说这个人要能被大家信任，这样当员工有什么疑问时才会转向他。从上下文看，第九空仍然是和选人有关。A最符合这个特点，有两个关键地方。select a manager和deal with any suspicions，分别可以和上下文对应。Select a manager 可以对应于前面的the person given responsibility，deal with any suspicions可以对应于后文的staff will turn to if they are concerned. 第十题，前面说让员工被自己不喜欢的或者是价值观不认同的人来评估的话，评估计划的成功会打折扣。所以这个第十空的讲的还是关于选人的。C可以填在这里，C选项的in such a position是个暗示：让即使只有一个员工处在这样的位置上都会影响他人的反应。意思是不能让一个被大家不喜欢的人处在评估人的位置上。 第十一题，这段讲评估的形式要尽可能的简单，避免冗长的文件。能接上的是E：只需要让员工知道谁来评估，为什么评估，以及评估的形式就行了。没有必要弄那些复杂的没人愿意读的文件。 第十二题，前面说评估可能会涉及到一些机密信息的披露。后面说这些会展现一些访谈的决定。关键要理解空格后面的these代表什么。能够show the decisions
