listen to this:初级英语听力 11课
listen to this:初级英语听力 11课Woman: So you have a half day, a full day and a day and evening tour of London?Man: That's correct.Woman: Well, as we're only here for a few days, I think perhaps we should take the full day and evening tour. Give my children the opportunity to see everything.Man: Won't that be a bit tiring for them?Woman: Yes, you're right. It's probably better if wedon't include them on the evening part of the program.Man: Not the theatre and the dinner entertainment?Woman: Yes, that's what I mean. The hotel will take care of them.Man: Yes, I'm sure that can be arranged.Woman: Now, can you tell me what the cost will be?Man: For the full tour? Seventy pounds per head.Woman: So that would be 140 pounds for myself and my husband. What about the children, is there any reduction for them?Man: Certainly, we have half price for children and if they're not going to the theatre or the dinner, I think we could let them have the full day tour for thirty pounds each.Woman: That's fine. Could you tell me more details of the tour? I mean, what will we be actually seeing and so forth?Man: Well, here's a brochure for you to read, but I can quickly run through the main items of the tour with you. Now, as you see, you're picked up from your hotel at 8:30, so you must be sure to order an early breakfast.Woman: Yes ...Man: Then you're taken to see the Changing of the Guard and you'll see Buckingham Palace at the same time of course. After that you'll be taken down Whitehall to see the House of Parliament, Big Ben, you know the famous clock, and nearby Westminster Abbey. Now from there we have a river trip down the Thames towards the Tower of London. During the river trip you'll be provided with sandwiches and coffee, orange juice for the kiddies. When you get to the Tower, you'll see the Beefeaters, the traditional guards of the Tower and thenyou'll be shown the Crown jewels.Woman: And will we have a guide during all this?Man: Of course. There's an official guide who will explain the sights to you and give a short account of their historic associations in three languages, English, German and French. If you have any further questions he'll be only too pleased to answer them.Woman: Oh, that sounds perfect.Man: Now in the afternoon, you'll be taken to London Zoo for a couple of hours. We try to arrange this to coincidewith the monkeys' tea party. The children always enjoy that.Woman: Oh, I'm sure mine will.Man: And from there we just go round the corner to Madame Tussaud's to see the waxworks and after that rightnext door to the London Planetarium where you'll see thestars simulated by laser beams.Woman: That sounds very exciting. What a full day.Man: Yes, well we do let you have a couple of hours'rest before taking you on to the theatre and dinner in the evening.Woman: Oh, that's good. I'll be able to get the children off to bed or settled down watching television or something. Well, that sounds marvellous. Thank you very much.Man: Not at all. Er ... there is just one thing, madam.Woman: Oh, what's that?Man: The cheque.Woman: (laughs) Of course.I have always been interested in making things. When Iwas a child I used to enjoy painting, but I also liked making things out of clay. I managed to win a prize for one of my paintings when I was fourteen. That is probably the reasonthat I managed to get into art college four years later. ButI studied painting at first, not pottery. I like being apotter because I like to work with my hands and feel the clay;I enjoy working on a potter's wheel. I'm happy working by myself and being near my home. I don't like mass-produced things. I think crafts and craftspeople are very important. When I left college I managed to get a grant from the Council, and I hope to become a full-time craftswoman. This workshopis small, but I hope to move to a larger one next year.Mr. Hanson: Could I have my bill, please?Waitress: Yes, sir. One moment, please.(She brings the bill and the customer looks at it carefully.)Mr. Hanson: Could you kindly explain this to me? What is item 6?Waitress: Perhaps I cou1d go through it for you. Thefirst item is the cover charge. Number 2 is the beer. Thenyour starter, your main course and the vegetables. The main course was 4.50 not 3.50, so item 6 is the difference.Mr. Hanson: Oh, I see. But how was I expected to know that?Waitress: Yes, sir. They are a bit hard to follow sometimes. Number 8 is your dessert and number 9 the cigarettes. Oh, and number 7 is your second beer.Mr. Hanson: And what about the service, is that included?Waitress: Yes, that's marked down here, 10 per cent service.Mr. Hanson: Good. Thank you. Now, can you take my credit card?Waitress: I'm afraid we don't accept credit cards.Mr. Hanson: Oh dear. What about a cheque with a banker's card?Waitress: Yes, sir. That will be all right.Customer: Can you bring me the bill, please?Waiter: Certainly, sir.(He brings the bill.)Customer: I think there has been a mistake.Waiter: I'm sorry, sir. What seems to be the trouble?Customer: I think you have charged me twice for the same thing.Look, the figure of 5.50 appears here and then again here.Waiter: I'll just go and check it for you, sir.(He returns a few minutes later.)Waiter: Yes sir, you are quite right. The cashier made a mistake. I think you will find it correct now.Customer: Thank you.Waiter: We do apologize about this, sir.Customer: That's all right. No harm done. Now, can I pay by traveler's cheques?Waiter: Certainly, sir. We'll give you the change in local currency if that's all right.Customer: You needn't worry about that. There won't be much change out of twenty-five dollars.Waiter: Thank you, sir. That's most kind of you.—Waiter, there's a fly in my soup.—Shh, don't do too loud. Everyone will want one.—Waiter, there's a fly in my soup.—There is a spider on the bread. It'll catch it.—What's this fly doing in my soup?—I think it's doing the backstroke, sir.—There is a dead fly swimming in my soup!—That's impossible. A dead fly can't swim.—There is a dead fly in my soup.—Yes, sir. It's the hot liquid that kills them.—Waiter, there is a fly in my soup.—Yes, sir. We give extra meat rations on Fridays.—Waiter, there is a fly in my soup.—Don't worry, sir. There is no extra charge.A strange thing happened to Henri yesterday. He was on a bus and wanted to get off. So he stood up and rang the bell. To make sure the driver heard him he rang it twice, but the bus didn't stop, and the conductor came and shouted at him.The conductor was so annoyed, and spoke so fast, that Henri didn't understand a word. The bus stopped at the nextbus stop and Henri got off. As he got off he heard someone say, "I think he's a foreigner."When Henri got home, he told his landlady about the incident."How many times did you ring the bell?" she asked."Twice," said Henri."Well, that's the signal for the driver to go on," his landlady explained. "Only the conductor is allowed to ring the bell twice. That's why he got so annoyed."Henri nodded. "I see," he said.(A and B are a married couple. C is a travel agent.)C: Good morning.A and B: Good morning.C: Can I help you?A: Yes, we're thinking of going on holiday somewhere, but we're not sure where.C: I see. What sort of holiday did you have in mind?A: Lots of sunbathing.B: (at the same time) Lots of walking.C: Mm. (looking puzzled) So you'd like somewhere warm?B: Not too warm.A: Yes, as sunny as possible.C: And are you interested in the night-life at all?A: Yes. It'd be nice if there were some good discos and clubs we could go to.B: Oh, no! Surely that's what we're trying to get away from!A: What do you mean? We never go out at all, so how could we get away from it?B: Well, what's the point of going somewhere where there are lots of people just like here?C: (interrupting) Could I just ask what sort of price you want to pay?B: As cheap as possible.A: What do you mean? We want a top hotel.B: But we can't afford it.A: Of course, we can. We've been saving up all year.(Their voices rise as they argue. The travel agent looks bemused.)C: Just a minute, please. I think I can make a suggestion. Why don't you try the South of France? Then one of you can go to the beach and the other can walk in the mountains.A: That sounds like a good idea. And there are some good hotels there.B: No—there are too many English people there!A: Well, then at least we'd have someone to talk to.B: But, there's no point in going abroad to meet English people there!C: (interrupting again) Excuse me.A and B: Yes?C: Well, my wife and I have the same trouble as you. I like hot, lively places and she prefers a bit of peace and quiet and we always disagree about how much to spend. We usually split up and go to different places, but this yearI've got a better idea.A and B: What's that?C: Well, I could go on holiday with you (indicates one of them) and you could go with my wife.A: That's an interesting idea.B: I'm not so sure ...C: Look, why don't you come round now and meet my wife and we can see what we can arrange ...The scene is at an airport. A man and a woman carrying several cases approach a customs officer (C.O.).Man: (whispering) Don't worry. Everything will be all right.Woman: I hope you know what you're doing!(They put their bags down in front of the customs officer.)C.O.: Good morning, sir, madam. Just returning from a holiday, are you?Woman: That's right.C.O.: And how long have you been abroad?Woman: Two weeks.Man: Yes, not very long. Not long enough to buy anything anyway. (laughing)C.O.: I see. Have you got anything to declare?Man: I'm sorry, I don't really know what you mean.Woman: Harry!C.O.: Come on, sir. I'm sure you know what I mean. Have you got anything to declare?Man: Well ... yes. I would like to declare that I love my wife.Woman: Oh, Harry. You've never said that before.Man: Well, it's true! It's just that I've never been able to tell you before.Woman: And I love you too!C.O.: (clearing throat) I'm sorry to interrupt, but I must ask you whether you have any goods to declare.Man: Ah, well I do have a record-player, a fridge and something for my wife's birthday that I'd rather not tell you about.Woman: Harry! And I thought you'd forgotten again!Man: Of course not, dear!C.O.: (annoyed) What I want to know, sir, is whether you have any goods in that bag that I should know about.Man: Well, let's have a look. (opens bag) We've got some bars of soap, a tube of toothpaste, clothes, a jar ofcream ...C.O.: (angry) I only want to know if you have anything liable for tax, like cigarettes, perfumes or bottles of anything.Man: Well, we do have a bottle of shampoo.C.O.: Okay. I've had enough. You can go.Man: You mean that's it?C.O.: Please go away!Woman: Come on, Harry. He just told us we could go.(Takes hold of the suitcase and the contents spill out.)C.O.: Just a minute. May I see that jewellery, please?Man: Oh, my God! You great clumsy idiot!Woman: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.Man: You never do anything right. I don't know why I married you in the first place!Woman: But Harry! You just said you loved me.Man: Not any more.C.O.: And now what have you got to declare, sir?Sam Lewis was a customs officer. He used to work in a small border town. It wasn't a busy town and there wasn't much work. The road was usually very quiet and there weren't many travelers. It wasn't a very interesting job, but Sam liked an easy life. About once a week, he used to meet an old man. His name was Draper. He always used to arrive at the border early in the morning in a big truck. The truck was always empty. After a while Sam became suspicious. He often used to search the truck, but he never found anything. One day he asked Draper about his job. Draper laughed and said, "I'm a smuggler."Last year Sam retired. He spent his savings on an expensive holiday. He flew to Bermuda, and stayed in a luxury hotel. One day, he was sitting by the pool and opposite himhe saw Draper drinking champagne. Sam walked over to him.Sam: Hello, there!Draper: Hi!Sam: Do you remember me?Draper: Yes ... of course I do. You're a customs officer.Sam: I used to be, but I'm not any more. I retired last month. I often used to search your truck ...Draper: ... but you never found anything!Sam: No, I didn't. Can I ask you something?Draper: Of course, you can.Sam: Were you a smuggler?Draper: Of course I was.Sam: But ... the truck was always empty. What were you smuggling?Draper: Trucks!The first thing they do is to put out an APB and thisgoes to all the police stations in the country. Next wecontact the hospitals. Often the person we are looking forhas been in an accident. Then we might try parents, friendsor relatives they might be with. We try to follow their movements and to find the last person they saw or were with. Then we try the media. We put photographs in local ornational papers—especially papers they might read. There are other things we can do: put posters in places they might be, go on television. Here in America there is a magazine inwhich there are photographs of missing children. This isoften the last hope. Of course, with nearly two million missing children every year, we can't do all these things for everyone. We haven't got the time, the money or the staff.Are you a morning person or an evening person? That's the question. When do you work best? For me the answer is easy. I work best in the morning. All my creative work is done before lunchtime. I get up at about eight, and then have breakfast.I listen to the radio a bit, and read the papers. And I start. Usually I work from nine or nine thirty until twelve butafter that I'm useless. On a good day I write fifteen hundred words or more, sometimes two thousand words, in the morning. Then after lunch I go for a walk, or read. In the evening Ilike to relax, go to the pub or go out and meet people. Ifyou're a writer you need self-discipline. But if you're tired, it shows: the mind and body must be fresh.1. Add two and four; eight and ten; fourteen and seven.2. Subtract six from eighteen; four from eleven; fivefrom nineteen.3. Multiply two by eight; five by three; six by four.4. Divide six by three; eight by two; twenty by five.1. I'll take a commission of ten per cent.2. The current rate of interest is twenty-three per cent.3. I only get three-eighths of the total.4. It's only a fraction of the cost, about a sixteenth.5. Divide nine by two and you get four point five.6. You only get two point four six per cent.1. I have to get a new pair of Jeans. Is thereanywhere ...?

Unit 11 Business《现代大学英语听力3》听力原文及答案Task 1【答案】A.First, pay careful attention to dress—your appearance and be natural.Second, if it's a university application—have a clear idea of the subjects you wish to take and then of your possible career. And if it's a job interview, show that you're interested in the company itself before you actually get to the interview.Third, have at least one topic or hobby which you can really talk about, and show that you know a lot about.Fourth, don’t tell lies or t ry to cover up when you don't know something.Fifth, be on time; allow plenty of time to make the journey and find where you are going; don’t gush too much, keep to the point, and sound motivated for the job.B.1) Because it shows that you're interested, and also it’s very flattering to the organization itself.2) He wants to show the importance of having at least one topic or hobby which you can really talk about and you know a lot about at the job interview.3) He thinks that Bruce’s son was just lucky, that the interview happened to be interested in model planes.4) I’d like a moment to think about that; I hadn’t thought of that before.【原文】Edmund: What advice would you give a young person leaving school or university? So the aim is to have five—Bruce: Oh that's right. Five.Edmund: Five things, five bits of advice that you would give. Would you like to—?Bruce: Yeah, okay, I'll read mi ne out and see how many of them you have. “Pay careful attention to dress”—appearance, you know, generally speaking at the interview. I think that is very important.Elizabeth: Yeah. I've got that as my number one as well.Edmund: Yes. Yes. I hadn't put that one, but I do agree with you. But I think there's also—"You need to be yourself."Bruce: Yes. You mean natural, rather than putting on some sort of an act.Edmund: Yes. Yes.Bruce: I'd certainly agree with that.Edmund: It'd be very difficult to go through your working life living up to the image that you gave at your interview, if it isn't you.Bruce: Yeah. Yeah.Elizabeth: Right.Bruce: Yes. "Have a clear idea of the"—if it's a university one—"have a clear idea of the subjects you wish to take and then of your possible career." And if it's a job interview, "Show that you'reinterested in the company itself before you actually get to the interview."Edmund: Yes, find out a little about the organization, so you can make a comment.Bruce: Yeah. That mounts to the same thing really.Edmund: So, yes, it looks as if you're interested. And also it's very flattering to the organization. Bruce: Of course, indeed.Elizabeth: There always comes that moment when they say, "Well you know, Mr. Jones, that's the job as we see it. Would you like to ask us anything about it?" If you just sit there in absolute silence, you don't get the job.Bruce: That's it, exactly, yes. Third. "Have at least one topic or hobby which you can really talk about, and show that you know a lot about." 1 think that is important because, you know, if you get stuck, this is the sort of question which can be asked, and if you have no interests or hobbies or whatever you like to call them, then it shows you are a pretty dull sort of person. And t think it would go rather badly for you.Edmund: Yes.Bruce: Mm. I have one or two examples of that. My son went for an interview. He builds model planes. And in the course of the last few years he's become a real expert on them. So apparently, his interview lasted about thirty minutes and twenty-nine and a half were spent talking about model planes.Edmund: Did he get the job?Bruce: Oh yes, he got the position in university. So, it worked very well for him.Edmund: Yes, I'm sure there's an element of luck—that the interviewer was interested in model planes.Bruce: I don't think he was really lucky, no. I think he was trying to find out about things—he was picking up information all the time.Edmund: Have you got any others?Bruce: Yes. "Don't tell lies."Elizabeth: Mm. That's a good one.Bruce: You're sure to be found out. And you know, it's something to avoid I would think. Edmund: Yes. I think, something to include in that one is not to try and cover up when you don't know something, which isn't quite the same as telling a lie. I've found in interviews that it's actually better to say, I'd like a moment to think about that; I hadn't thought of that before; or I'd like a minute—to digest the information and think of an answer.Bruce: And finally—“Be on time."Edmund: Yes.Elizabeth: Yes. I've got that one, too.Edmund: Yes. I put "Do allow plenty of time to make the journey and find where you are going." Nerves, I think, can make you miss street signs.Bruce: Indeed, yes, That's true.Edmund: I've noticed that we've all been putting dos rather than don'ts.Elizabeth: Well I've got a don't here. Er, which is "Don't gush too much", which is like, you know, I think you can have, or be tempted to have a sort of verbal diarrhoea really. You know, in your interview, because you think the more I say the more they'll think I'm—and I think there's a danger of saying too much as well as too little.Edmund: Yes. And "Keep to the point."Bruce: That's fight.Edmund: I mean gushing can include getting right away from the subject that you're meant to be talking about.Elizabeth: Right.Bruce: That's true enough that, yes.Edmund: So we could also sum up a lot of our points as being self-discipline.Bruce: Yes. Yes. I would agree with that, certainly. Have you any others?Eliza beth: Well no. I mean three of mine were exactly the same as yours. I put “Sound motivated for the job”, but that's pretty obvious really, isn't it? I mean we've included that anyway. They all fall into the same sort of general category really.Bruce: That's interesting, yeah.Task 2【答案】A. 1) b) 2) a) 3) c)B.1) Because they are up against some strong competition in the printing industry and a lot of small businesses arefolding.

As you know sales have been falling off over the past few months and; between you and me, things aren't looking very good.Kim: Well...Manager: Look, before you say anything, I'm not pointing the finger at you. I know you've suggested several times that we need to go in for better equipment, if we're going to hold our own in the industry. And I have to go along with you now; it's time to bite the bullet and invest in some better technology.Kim: That's great news. I'm sure it's the right move.Manager: Well, as you've pointed out, we're up against some strong competition in the printing industry and a lot of small businesses are folding. If we don't jump on the bandwagon now, we could very likely go under as well.Kim: I agree, absolutely. The thing is, you have to be at the cutting edge of change, if you want to stay in business these days.Manager: That's for sure. You know, I've been putting off making the changes because I know it'll be costly, not only in equipment, but in training too. But the bottom line is if we don't spend money, we won't make any.Kim: That's very true. So when do you think we'll start the changeover?Manager: The sooner the better, I suppose. There're some big changes to make and I'm not really looking forward to them. You know, I wonder whether all this new technology is really makingour lives easier. It seems to me we've created a vicious circle..,Kim: What do you mean?Manager: Well, technology's supposed to have given us more time and freedom but it seems we've become slaves to technology.Kim: Mm. I hadn't thought of it that way.Manager: But then maybe I just don't like change... It's mind-boggling the way technology is changing! No sooner do I get my head around something new, than it changes again!Kim: Well, I know what you mean but I think we have to go with the flow, whether we like it or not.Manager: I suppose so. Well, I'd better get the ball rolling. I'll start making some phone calls now.Task 3【答案】A.1) exporting company, private employer2) 86 hectares of land, 40 hectares, more than 80 soccer fields3) media representative, commercial airplane factory4) which operates 24 hours a day, seven days a weekB.1) These companies have all commissioned Boeing to make an airplane designed to fit their specific needs.2) Because they need to bring everybody together to make this one Boeing, and because they can't exclude partners, otherwise the partners would take their business elsewhere.3) It is an apparatus that resembles a giant spool, which holds the center of an aircraft and rotates.4) It is the first supersonic jet to zoom over an airfield, slow to a stop in the air and land straight down like a helicopter.【原文】The world's largest indoor facility is owned by the USA's No.1 exporting company. It's Boeing Company, Washington, just outside Seattle. The manufacturer of commercial aircraft has been identified with the state of Washington for 85 years and is the state's largest private employer. Robin Ruthley visited the Boeing plant and has more on "Seattle's city within a city".The dimensions of the Boeing commercial aircraft factory are so vast. They are almost hard to imagine. The rectangular building sits on 86 hectares of land. The building alone takes up almost 40 hectares, or if you can imagine, more than 80 soccer fields. Inside, there are airplanes in various stages of production. Kenya Airways, Continental, Thai Airways—companies that have all commissioned Boeing to make an airplane designed to fit their specific needs."All these parts come from all over the world and they arrive here and they are put together into one airplane. So amazing to watch it."Tom Ryan is Boeing's media representative for its commercial airplane factory. He says that because aviation is a global business, Boeing works with many international partners, who provide different services in the construction of the planes. "We work strongly with all our partners from all across the globe, whether they are over in the Far East or over in the UK or down under, because we need to bring everybody together to make this one Boeing really, because you can't exclude partners, otherwise they'll take their business elsewhere."Inside the factory, which operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, employees get around on bicycles. There are named streets and the plant even has its own fire department. In the middle of the floor is an apparatus that resembles a giant spool, which holds the center of an aircraft and rotates, so workers can operate without having to stand on top of it. In Washington, DC recently, Boeing completed another first in the design of its latest military warplane. The X-32B Joint Strike Fighter is the first supersonic jet to zoom over an airfield, slow to a stop in the air and land straight down like a helicopter. The first vertical-landing aircraft is part of a competition that Boeing has entered for a Pentagon contract worth 200 billion dollars, the biggest Pentagon contract in history.Task 4【答案】A. 1) b) 2) c)B.1) F 2) F 3) F 4) TC.1) Her problem was this: Mr. Thomas organized the office work in a new and different way, and it was becoming more difficult for her to do her job.

Today our lecture is going to be about business management. Specifically, I'm going to talk a little about managers, what makes someone a good manager. Okay? Now first, I'll describe a work situation for you, and then I'll explain one important management technique. Okay, let's begin. First, let's consider an office situation in the United States. Let's say that we have a company called the ABC company, and there's a new manager named Mr. Thomas, who has just started working in one office of this company. Okay? A new manager on the job. One day, all employee—let's call her Linda Jones—went to talk to Mr. Thomas. She was having some problems with her work, and she wanted to talk to her manager about these problems. Her problem was this: Mr. Thomas organized the office work in a new and different way, and it was becoming more difficult for her to do her job. And she also felt that Mr. Thomas wasn't very clear about what she was supposed to do. She wanted to know more clearly, "What am I supposed to do? What do you expect of me?"All right, so let's think about this. Ms. Jones goes to Mr. Thomas to talk about the work situation. Now for most employees, asking a manager questions like this is hard. In this case, it was hard for Linda to talk to Mr. Thomas, but she felt she had to do it. She had worked in the office for fiveyears, and of course, she didn't want to lose her job because she couldn't get her job done. She also didn't want to quit her job because of the problems. She just wasn't content with the way the office was being run, and she needed to talk about it.Now let's think about the manager's position. In this case, Mr. Thomas was very surprised when he first heard that she was having problems. He was surprised, and irritated. There was too much work to do, right? He didn't really want to deal with a personal problem. He didn't think this was a work problem, and he felt he was too busy to think about problems people might be having.But later, Mr. Thomas thought about what Linda said. He thought, "Aha, this is a work problem." And he realized he needed to find out from the other people in the office, from her co-workers, if they were having problems, too.All right, let's pause for a moment and look at what Mr. Thomas, as the manager, had to consider. First of all, a good manager understands that a hardworking, enthusiastic staff is very important. In fact, we could say it is essential, absolutely essential. All of the employees need to work together. They need to work as a team to make the company successful. And, of course, feeling like part of a team is feeling that what each person does and says is important.Well, as in most work situations, we have a problem here with communication. That is, most managers do not want to hear people complain, and most employees are afraid to come right out and say what they feel. They usually won't say what they like or don't like. They may complain to each other during lunch or after work, but they do not complain directly to the manager.It is important, however, for a manager to find out if he or she is doing a good job. One way to do this is to give employees a chance to talk. Employees need an opportunity to say what is wrong, what they don't like about the work situation, and what they would change to make their work better However, most employees are afraid to say what they feel. This is why a manager needs to figure out a safe way for people to talk. By safe, I mean a way to talk where people aren't afraid something will happen to them if they tell the truth. It has to be safe, or else people just won't say what they're thinking.Task 5【答案】A. 1) c) 2) b)B.1) F 2) T 3) T 4) TC.Ⅰ.

Certain altitudes about how an American manager should act, what an American manager is supposed to do in his or her job;B.

Management assessment is based on the idea of solving problems and communicating so that everyone will feel they are part of a team.Ⅴ.A. How work is doneB. How decisions are madeC. How people communicate【原文】Now let's look a little bit more closely at what a manager can do. According to some manage meat consultants, a manager needs to give employees a clear way of assessing himself or herself. By assessing I mean a way of telling the manager good and bad points about what he or she is doing, Right? Tell me my good and bad points—that's an assessment. One way the manager can have employees do this is to give them questions to answer in writing. Okay? Not asking them orally, but giving them a chance to write their assessments. Then the manager can meet with each employee and discuss what he or she wrote.Now asking for an assessment is not so easy. It is important for file manager to ask the right kind of questions, If the manager asks direct questions like "Do you like me?" or "Do you like the way I ask you to do things?" the employee probably won't tell the truth. I mean, would you tell the truth if you were asked this kind of question? These questions are just too direct and, erm, just too personal: They focus too much on personal feelings.On the other hand, if the manager asks questions like "How would it be easier for you to do your job?" or "How could things be done differently?" it's easier for an employee to answer honestly. Do you see the difference here? It is easier to answer because the question focuses on the work itself. The question doesn't focus on the employee's feelings about the manager. It shows the employee the question is being asked in order to make it easier to get the job done well.Okay, now I'd like you to have a look at a sample assessment form. Follow along as I go over the questions. Ready?Number 1, "Do I give clear directions?" Number 2, "Do you need help from co-workers to understand what I want?" Number 3, "Do I change my mind too olden about what I want you to do?" Number 4, "Do I listen to new ideas and ways of doing things?" Number 5, "Do you come to me when you need help?" And Number 6, "Do I tell you when you have done a good job?" Okay, so think about these questions. What are they about? What's the purpose of these questions?I think... I think we have to notice that these questions show certain altitudes about how an American manager should act. They show us what an American manager is supposed to do in his or her jobs. These questions also tell us—and this is very interesting—they show us something about the relationship between manager and employees, what the relationship between the employees and the manager is expected to be. Management assessment today is based on the idea of solving problems and communicating so that everyone will feel they are part of a team. Let me repeat that because this is a key point: Management assessment is based on the idea of solving problems and communicating so that everyone will feel they are part of a team.Okay, now please note that this is an American model or idea for management assessment. Of course, business styles and management styles vary from culture to culture. This particular style of management assessment may not work in every culture. For any country or culture, it is important to think about how work is done and how decisions are made. And it's very important to considerhow people communicate. All right? Well, that's all for today.Task 6【答案】1) Clensip is a drink.2) The purpose of the meeting is to decide on a definite advertising campaign for the new product.3) He is more hopeful, and agrees they'll have to sell this through good advertising and attractive packaging.4) Because it looks so clean and clear in bottles.5) Because he thinks the can is more modem and will appeal more to young people as they're used to drinks in cans. And since all their competitors put their drinks in bottles, they’ve got to be different.6) He thinks they could have a lot of young men in little sailing boats, and then one young man ina white suit, sailing a big yacht, and drinking Clensip.7) It could be used to wash hair, wash the face, clean teeth, soak feet, bathe eyes, freshen up floors, and used in cooking.【原文】Chairman: Now, ladies and gentlemen, you all know why we're meeting this afternoon. We want to decide on a definite advertising campaign for the new product we've received from...Tony, I know you want to say something.Tony: Yes, thank you, Mr. Chairman. As I've said this is not something that people will want to buy; there are similar products on the market and we need to work out the advertisements very carefully, or we won't sell any at all.Chairman: I'm more hopeful, but I agree that we'll have to sell this through good advertising and attractive packaging. Linda, you've got examples of the packaging ideas with you, haven't you? Linda: Yes, here you are. We tried two different styles: There's a can, like this; or a bottle, like this. We prefer the bottle, because it looks so clean and clear. What do you think?George: Well, I like the can. It's more modem and 1 think it will appeal more to young people as they're used to drinks in cans. And all our competitors put their drinks in bottles.Tony: I agree. We've got to be different. A pure white can, with the name "Clensip" in blue. That's good.Lucy: We ought to decide what is special and new and different.Tony: There isn't anything new about it, except the can. That's what's going to make it so hard to sell.Linda: I don't agree with you. It's a good product. It's healthy; it's pure; it's natural; it's good for you.Chairman: Yes, that's the idea. We want to sell it to the people because it's healthy.Lucy: Can we say "It's Clensip, naturally it's good for you"?Tony: Yes, I like that—that means “Of course, it's good f or you." It also means that it's natural. George: Yes, that's Okay. But I thought we wanted to be different. All the other brands advertise how healthy and pure they are.Linda: Well, there's no alternative. People will buy this because it's pure. It's the only reason for buying it. What else can you say?Lucy: It isn't fattening, I suppose?Chairman: "Drink Clensip, the non-fattening drink in a can." We could have a picture—a beautiful, slim young lady drinking a can of Clensip. Yes, that's a good idea.To ny: Yes, it’s quite unusual to drink it by itself without adding anything.George: We could say "Be different—drink Clensip."Lucy: "The beautiful girl ought to be different, too. Perhaps we could have a lot of girls all wearing red dresses, and one girl, in a white dress, who's drinking Clensip.Tony: We want everyone to drink Clensip, not just girls. Perhaps we could have a lot of young men in little sailing boats, and then one young man in a white suit, sailing a big yacht, and drinking Clensip.Chairman: I think we could have a whole series of those pictures. Any other ideas?George: People think of it as a drink. What about adding it to different things? You could wash your hair in it, for instance.Chairman: In Clensip?George: Why nor? People wash their hair in beer, sometimes.Lucy: Clensip wouldn't hurt your hair. In fact, it would be...George: What about: "A Clensip Beauty Book"?Linda: Wash your face in Clensip?Tony: Clean your teeth in Clensip after every meal.Chairman: I think we've got something here. Let's see. How many words call you think of to describe Clensip? We’ve got pure, natural, clear, clean, healthy...Lucy: Refreshing.Linda: Soothing—soak your tired feet in Clensip.George: Sparkling—bathe your eyes in sparkling Clensip.Tony: How about:“Freshen up your floors with Clensip”?Lucy: Add Clensip to your cooking...Task 7【答案】A. c)B.1) Because they saw such foreign investment as creating much-needed employment, stimulating the business sector generally, and possibly earning foreign currency if the company's products were exported.2) The major source of worry has been that these foreign giants will take over smaller companies and gradually dominate an important industry. If this happens, vital decisions affecting the economic interests of the country may be taken in boardrooms thousands of miles away from that country.3) They have become concerned about their dependence on foreign investment in key sectors of their economy. They have become aware that foreign subsidiaries often take most of their profits out of the country rather than reinvesting them in the company. Sometimes, the flow of funds causes disastrous fluctuations in the exchange rates of their currencies.4) They are beginning to insist on joint ventures and to limit the amount of profits that a foreign subsidiary may take out of the country in a given period.C.1) The multinational often operates in industries which are difficult to enter and of vital national importance, such as the computer, chemical and automobile industries. The main objective of the multinational is to organize its activities around the world so as to maximize global profits and global market shares. Each subsidiary is part of an international network of affiliates which interact with each other. The centre controlling the network is not under the control of the host government but frequently thousands of miles away from these subsidiaries.2) Arguing against multinationals, critics say that these organizations engage in anti-competitive activities, insensitively shut down plants, make huge bribes to gain contracts, interfere politically, destabilize currencies, underpay their workers, and so on. Those speaking for the defense see these corporations almost as international agencies, promoting peace, providing better, cheaper products, and bringing much needed resources, expertise and employment to the host countries.【原文】The term "multinational" is used for a company which has subsidiaries or sales facilities throughout the world. Another expression for this type of business enterprise is "global corporation". Many of these giant organizations are household names such as Coca Cola, Sony, Hitachi, IBM, and General Motors. Companies like these control vast sums of money and they operate in countries with widely differing political and economic systems.In earlier times, most countries gave the multinationals a "red carpet" welcome because they saw such foreign investment as creating much-needed employment, stimulating the business sector generally, and possibly earning foreign currency if the company's products were exported. More recently, however, tile tide has turned against the multinationals. They are now viewed by many with suspicion; once heroes, they are now villains on the international business stage.For reasons outlined below, host countries are now restricting the activities of their guests, the multinationals. Many developing countries will only allow new investment if it is on a joint-venture basis. This means that local entrepreneurs, or state agencies, must participate in the ownership and even management of the foreign enterprise. Other countries, such as India and Nigeria, are forcing foreign companies already well-established to reduce their share holdings to a certain percentage, say 60 percent or 40 percent of the total equity of the company.Tension between host country and multinational is inevitable in many cases because multinationals do pose a threat to national sovereignty.The multinational is big and rich. It often operates in industries which are difficult to enter and of vital national importance, such as the computer, chemical and automobile industries. Most important of all, the main objective of the multinational is to organize its activities around the world so as to maximize global profits and global market shares. Each subsidiary is part of an international network of affiliates. These all interact with each other. Each part serves the whole. The centre controlling the network—the multinationals' headquarters—is not under the control of the host government. It is frequently thousands of miles away from these subsidiaries. Increasingly, in recent years, governments have had to ask themselves whether multinationals are harming their national interests. In highly industrialized countries, a major source of worry has been that these foreign giants will take over smaller companies and gradually dominate an important industry. If this happens, vital decisions affecting the economic interests of the country may be taken in boardrooms thousands of miles away from that country.Developing countries, in particular, have become concerned about their dependence on foreign。

Lesson ElevenSection One: News in BriefTapescript1. Texas Air announced today that it will buy the troubled People Express Airlines for about a hundred and twenty-five million dollars. The proposed deal would allow most People Express employees to keep their jobs, although the company will eventually lose its identity and become part of Texas Air. Federal officials must approve the merger. Texas Air is also trying to buy Eastern Airlines.2. A rally on Wall Street today after six consecutive losing sessions, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day up nearly nine points, to close at seventeen sixty-seven point fifty-eight.3. What's being called a 'freedom flight" of seventy former Cuban political prisoners landed in Miami today to an ecstatic reception by thousands of relatives and well-wishers. The plane also carried forty one relatives of former prisoners. The flight culminated nearly two years of negotiations with the Castro regime.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptTexas Air Corporation today announced that it has agreed to buy People Express Airlines for one hundred twenty-five million dollars in securities. Texas Air already owns Continental Airlines and New York Air. It is in the process of acquiring Eastern Airlines. People Express, one of the first no-frills, low-fare air carriers, has been in financial trouble lately. It was forced to shut down its subsidiary, Frontier Air flights. Texas Air now says it will acquire Frontier's assets as part of its deal with People Express. Joining us now from New York, NPR's business reporter Barbara Mantel.' Barbara, it is said this is a very attractive low price, this one hundred twenty-five million dollars in securities. Besides that, why does Texas Air want People Express?' "Well, Frank Lorenzo, who is Chairman of Texas Air, will get airplanes from People Express, which he might need. He will get the lowest cost work-force in the industry at People Express. He will get a new terminal at Newark, New Jersey that People Express is building. He'll get flights to London, and he will get control over competition. People Express competes heavily, especially in the northeast corridor, with Texas Air.''This issue of competition has been a sticking point before for the Department of Transportation when two airlines wanted to get together. How will Texas Air get around it this time?''Well, they might not. Texas Air wanted to acquire East ..., or wants to acquire, Eastern Airline, and the Department of Transportation said, 'No, not unless you sell more landing slots, more slots in the northeast corridor to Pan Am so that we'll have some competition there.' And Texas Air agreed to that just last week. That may happen again here. The Department of Transportation may require that Texas Air sell some slots or some gates to another airline to ensure that there is still competition in the northeast part of the marketplace. But Texas Air has some leverage here with the Department of Transportation because People Express is a failing company. And the Department of Transportation may feel, 'Well, we'll let them buy PeopleExpress and keep it running, rather than let it fail and lose all those jobs.'"'Mm hm. Now, if the deal is approved by the Department of Transportation, what is it likely to mean for consumers? If there's less competition the fares could possibly go up. "'Well, yes. You would think that when you move from two competitors in a market to just one airliner that prices would just have to go up. But I want you to keep in mind that unrestricted fares of the kind People Express offered, you know, wholesale unrestricted fares, were being eliminated and phased out anyway, because they were not profitable. And the Department of Transportation theory here is that if you allow mergers to take place, or many mergers to take place, you might create more efficiencies and low costs, leading possibly to lower fares. And also the Department of Transportation believes that there's a lot of potential competition in the marketplace. Airlines can move planes around and buy gates, and so that if an airline in a particular market segment was making a lot of money and raising prices excessively, other airlines would move in and prices would be brought down through competition. So that it's a nice theory, the theory of potential competition keeping prices in line, but it's sort of a new idea and it's not clear that that's really the way it would work.''Thanks.' From New York, NPR's Barbara Mantel.Section Three: Special ReportTapescript"My audiences have been very devoted over the years throughout the country. And they've expanded and grown and the country audience has been just as kind and as supportive as the folk audience has been.''I was thinking though, nonetheless, when I put on this album, 'The Last of the True Believers,' especially the title cut, that I heard more country there than I'd perhaps heard before.""Well, I guess it has .-.. I've moved in that direction, mainly because I am playing with the band more. My natural roots are there in country and hillbilly music. And so I think that that just comes out more when you put the band with it."I'I want to ask you some questions, please, about this album, about the ... not so much what's on the inside right now, but what‟s on the outside - a picture on the front of you in front of a Woolworth store, someplace, I guess, in Texas or Tennessee, and 'Houston, Texas.' In Houston, Texas? Is it the Woolworth store that has the hardwood floor still 'and the parakeets in the back and that sort of thing?'"Well, this one that we shot this in front of in Houston Texas is one of the largest ones in the country. It's a two-storey and it's got the escalator that does a little pinging noise every couple of minutes. And it takes up a whole city block.""But, why a cover photo in front of Woolworth's?''Well,, that comes from the song 'Love at the Five and Dime,' which was a song that Cathy Mattea also cut this year and had my first, you know, top five country hit with. And it deals with the Woolworth store.'"There is, on the cover, you are holding a book, and you can‟t really see. ... What is the name of the book on the cover you're holding?''In the Kindness of Strangers, the latest Tennessee Williams' biography.''And on the back is Larry McMurtrie's book about a cattle drive around the turn of the century, Lonesome Dove.'"He's my main prose hero.''Now, why? Why would you do that? Why would you pose with a book?'"Well, I have, my audience consists of a lot of young people between the ages of, maybe you know, fourteen and twenty-f'ive. And I read a lot, and I also write short stories and have written a novel. And I just feel like young people are missing out because they don't read books. And any time I have the opportunity to influence the young person to pick up a book and read it, I would try to do that.''When you hear these lyrics, when the words come to you, are you hearing the stanzas as poetry or as music?''Well, I'm hearing them as music. Lyrics usually come to me, and songs come to me as a total picture. And the music and the lyrics come at the same time. Sometimes they shoot me straight up in bed, you know, in the middle of the night. 'The Wing and the Wheel' is a very special song to me. It's probably my favorite song that I've ever written. And that song was inspired at the Vancouver Folk Festival by two people who are from Managua, Nicaragua. They have a duo call Duo Guar Buranco. And just about four o'clock in the morning, I was sitting in my hotel room and listening to them sing in the room next door, and looking out the window at this little fingernail moon hanging out over the Vancouver Bay, and that song just came flowing, you know, and was inspired by those two people.''Now, that sounds easy.''Well, it IS easy. If you listen. to yourself and you listen to the inspiration that's bringing on that particular song, it's easy. It's just a matter of getting up and writing it down.' Nancy Griffith, talking with us in WPLN in Nashville. She is continuing her national tour with the Everly Brothers. Her latest album is called "The Last of the True Believers.'Lesson 12Section One: News in Brief1. American reporter Nicholas Daniloff is in Frankfurt, West Germany, on his way home from Moscow after being detained for a month on espionage charges. President Reagan in Kansas City on a campaign swing announced Daniloff‟s release, denying that any trade had been agreed to in order to win his freedom. Asked by reporters if he blinked in staring down Soviet leader Gorbachev over the Daniloff affair, the President said they blinked. The agreement to release Daniloff came after a three-hour meeting last night in New York between Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze. No details of the agreement have been released, and it is not known if Daniloff‟s freedom is the first step in a trade involving accused Soviet spy Gennadi Zakharov. When he arrived in Frankfurt, Daniloff thanked President Reagan, Secretary of State Shultz, and other US officials for “dotting all the i‟s and crossing the t‟s” that permitted him to be in Frankfurt tonight.2. The House of Representatives is expected to vote soon to override President Reagan‟s veto of a bill imposing economic sanctions against South Africa. NPR‟s Cokie Roberts reports that the President has promised to expand economic sanctions on his own in hopes of getting Congress tosustain his veto. “Both houses of Congress passed the economic sanctions against South Africa by wide enough margins to override a presidential veto. And it‟s expected the House will easily garner the two-thirds vote necessary for override. So it‟s in the Senate the President is concentrating his efforts. Today President Reagan sent a long letter to majority leader Robert Dole, restating his opposition to …punitive sanctions that harm the victims of apartheid. ‟ The letter went on to outline an executive order the President plans to sign which would impose some but not all of the sanctions passed by Congress. For example, there‟d be a ban on some new investments in South Africa, but not as many as called for by Congress. The President hopes the executive order will win over the fourteen additional senators he needs to sustain his veto. The Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said today that Congress would simply come back next year with tougher sanctions if the veto is sustained. I‟m Cokie Roberts at the Capitol”Section Two: News in DetailAmerican reporter Nicholas Daniloff was freed today in Moscow. He flew into Frankfurt, West Germany this afternoon and spoke with reporters gathered at the airport.“It‟s wonderful to be back in the West. I think it‟s obvious to everybody what has happened over this last month. I was arrested without an arrest warrant. A case was fabricated against me with a narrow political purpose of giving the Soviet Union some political leverage over the case of Gennadi Zakharov in New York. The KGB did not punish me; the KGB punished itself. I cannot tell you anything about any other arrangements. All I know is that I am free in the West, very grateful, delighted to see you.” Nicholas Daniloff.When Daniloff left the Soviet Union today he had been detained there for thirty-one days, facing a possible trial on espionage charges. Daniloff left Moscow only hours after Secretary of State Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze met last night in New York in the latest of four negotiating sessions concerning the fate the American journalist. But so far no details have emerged about the arrangements that brought Daniloff his freedom. NPR‟s Mike Shuster has more from New York.Reporters in Moscow who had been staking out the American Embassy there first got wind this morning that Daniloff might be released, after he left the Embassy in a car and flashed the “V for Victory” sign. Apparently Daniloff was simply informed that he could leave, and his passport was returned to him. He was then taken to the airport along with his wife, and soon thereafter boarded a Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt, West Germany. The official American announcement of his release came from President Reagan mid-day today as he was campaigning in Kansas City, Missouri:“I have something of a news announcement I would like to make, that in case you have‟nt heard it already, that at twelve o‟clock, twelve o‟clock Central time, a Lufthansa Airliner, left Moscow bound for Frankfurt West Germany, and on board are Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Daniloff!”So far though neither the White House nor the State Department has said anything about the specific agreements that ended the negotiations on Daniloff, and lacking any fuller explanation from the government, many questions remain. First, what will happen to the Russian scientist Gennadi Zakharov whose arrest last month in New York for spying led to Daniloff‟s detention? No date has been set for Zakharov‟s trial in Brooklyn, and a representative of the Justice Department in Brooklyn said today the US attorney there was waiting for instructions on the handling of Zakharov‟s case. There have been suggestions that Zakharov might be returned to the Soviet Union at a later date in exchange for one or more jailed Soviet dissidents. There is also thequestion of the American decision to expel twenty-five Soviet personnel from their Unite Nations Mission here. Several have already left New York and the deadline for the expulsion of the rest is Wednesday. The Soviets have threatened to retaliate if the order is not rescinded. There is no word whether the agreement that freed Daniloff includes anything on the twenty-five Soviets, which naturally leads to the final question: Has Daniloff‟s release today brought the United States and the Soviet Union any closer to a summit meeting? Secretary Shultz has said that a summit could not take place without Daniloff gaining his freedom. That has now been removed as an impediment to a summit, but the Soviets have called the Zakharov case and the matter of the twenty-five Soviets diplomats obstacles to a summit as well. Until the details are made public of the agreement Shultz and Shevardnadze worked out, it will not be known what the prospects for a summit truly are. This is Mike Shuster in New York.Section Three: Special ReportOne year ago this month, a powerful earthquake in Mexico City killed more than nine thousand people. Tens of thousands of people lost their jobs because of the massive damage. Among those hardest hit by the quake were women garment workers. Who worked in sweatshops concentrated in the heart of Mexico City. One year after the earthquake, Lucie Conger reports that some of the forty thousand seamstresses who lost their jobs are changing their attitudes about work.Lesson ThirteenSection One: News in BriefTape-script1. A special committee of twelve senators today began the impeachment trial of Federal Judge Harry Claiborne. It's the first such proceeding in fifteen years. Claiborne is serving a jail sentence for tax evasion.2. President Reagan today continued his campaign for a drug-free America. He ordered mandatory testing for federal workers in sensitive positions. And he also sent Congress a legislative package that would increase federal anti-drug spending by nine hundred million dollars, much of that on increased border patrols. The President said the legislation is the federal government's way of just saying no to drugs. "We're getting tough on drugs; we mean business. To those who are thinking of using drugs, we say 'Stop.' And to those who are pushing drugs, we say 'Beware.' " Mandatory drug testing for some federal workers is the most controversial part of the President's plan. It's been condemned by some employee groups.3. One person was killed and more than fifty injured today in Paris when a bomb exploded at the drivers' permit office at police headquarters. It was the fourth blast in seven days in the French capital.Section Two: News in DetailTapescriptIn Paris today, one person was killed and more than fifty were injured when a bomb exploded at police headquarters. This is the fourth attack on a crowded public target in a week.A police officer was killed yesterday while removing a bomb from a restaurant on the Avenue Champs Elysee. Minutes after that incident, Prime Minister Jacques Chirac announced new security measures aimed at curbing terrorist activities in, France. Melodie Walker reports from Paris.A group calling itself 'the Committee for Solidarity with Arab and Middle-Eastern Prisoners' has claimed responsibility for the current series of bombings in Paris, in addition to ten other attacks in the French capital over the past year. The Committee has delivered messages to news agencies in Beirut threatening to continue its bombing campaign in Paris until the French government agrees to release three men jailed in France on charges of terrorism. One of the convicted prisoners, George Abraham Abdullah, is believed to be the leader of the Lebanese Army Faction suspected of killing a US military attached in Paris in 1982. The French government has officially declared it will not release the prisoners. In response to the repeated attacks in Paris, Prime Minister Chirac last night announced new anti-terrorist measures: military patrols along the French borders will be increased and, beginning today, all foreigners will require a visa to enter France. Citizens of European Common Market countries and Switzerland will be exempt from the visa requirement. But Americans planning to visit France will need to apply for visas at the nearest French consulate. For an initial period of fifteen days, however, emergency visas will be granted at French airports and other border checkpoints. France has been plagued with terrorism at home and abroad in recent years. In the past two weeks, three French members of the United Nations peace keeping force in Lebanon have been killed by remote-controlled bombs. Today, France, called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss the role and safety of the force. Seven French hostages in Beirut are also a major concern for the Chirac government. Dominique Moazi, Associate Director of the French Institute for International Relations, says the bombings in Paris, the attacks on the UN troops, and the hostage situation are all indirectly related. 'I think there is a global goal, which is looked after, and that is to punish France for its involvement in Middle-Eastern affairs, either Lebanon or the war between Iran and Iraq. And France is, at the same time, more visible than any other European actors, in Lebanon and in the Gulf.' According to Moazi, the long French tradition of granting political asylum has made France more open and accessible to terrorist activities."In the past we have given, unfortunately, the impression, which was maybe a reality, of being less resolute in our treatment of terrorist action than, for example, the Israelis. So that combination of visibility, vulnerability, and lack of resolution has made us the ideal target of terrorists now.'In a statement released today, President Francois Mitterand said, ' The fight against terrorism is the business of the entire nation.' But despite the government's determination to combat terrorism, the question of how to do it remains unanswered.For National Public Radio, this is Melodie Walker in Paris.Section Three: Special ReportTapescriptThe United States Senate Intelligence Committee today released a report calling for sweeping changes in US security policies and counter-intelligence, its first unclassified assessmentof recent spy cases. The Committee says the damage done has cost billions of dollars, threatening America's security, as never before. NPR's David Malthus has the story. The report states that the damage done from espionage and lax security is worse than anyone in the government has yet acknowledged publicly. It concludes that US military plans and capabilities have been seriously compromised, intelligence operations gravely impaired. US technological advantages have been overcome in some areas because of spying. And diplomatic secrets were exposed to adversaries. V ermont Democrat Patrick Leahy is Vice-Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.'The national security is many times threatened more by this than by the buildup of Soviet arms, or the buildup of Soviet personnel, or breakthrough in weapon development." The Committee report says foreign intelligence services have penetrated some of the most vital parts of US defense, intelligence, and foreign policy structures. The report cites a string of recent cases, including the Walker-Whitworth spy ring, which gave the Soviets the ability to decode at least a million military communications.Despite some improvements by the Reagan Administration in security and tough talk over the last two years, the report also concludes that the administration has failed to follow through with enough specific steps to tighten security, and that its counter-intelligence programs have lacked the needed resources to be effective. Republican Dave Durenberger of Minnesota, Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, sums up the current situation this way:'Too many secrets, too much access to secrets, too many spies, too little accountability for securing our national secrets, and too little effort given to combating the very real threat which spies represent to our national security.'Senator Durenberger said the Committee found some progress has been made in toughening up security clearances for personnel, and some additional resources have been devoted to countering technical espionage, but he said much more needs to be done and he described the current security system as one 'paralyzed by bureaucratic inertia.' The Committee makes ninety-five specific recommendations, including greater emphasis on re-investigations of cleared personnel, a streamlined classification system, more money for counter-intelligence elements of the FBI, CIA and the military services, and tighter controls on foreign diplomats from hostile countries. The report cites FBI assessments on how extensively the Soviets use, diplomatic cover to hide spying activity. There are twenty-one hundred diplomats, UN officials, and trade representatives from the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries living in the United States. And according to the FBI, 30% of them are professional intelligence officers. The Committee report also says the Soviet Union is effectively using United Nations organizations worldwide to conduct spying operations. It says approximately eight hundred Soviets work for UN agencies, three hundred of them in New York, and one fourth of those are working for the KGB or the Soviet military intelligence, the GRU. Next week, the Reagan Administration is to deliver to. the Congress its, classified report on counter-intelligence. I'm David Malthus in Washington.。

If you ask some people “How did you learn English so well?”you may get a surprising answer, “In my sleep!” These are people who have taken part in one of recent experiments to test learn-while-you-sleep methods.Scientists say that this sleep-study method speeds lauguage learning greatly. In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio. Each lesson lasted 12 hours from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours of English grammar and new words were given with the students awake. At 11 p.m. a light music was broadcast to send the students to sleep and for the next 3 hours the radio whispered the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to review the lesson. Then soft songs sent him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 o’clock the noise woke up his sleep and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.(17—20 B B A C )。
