Our customers? ，好了解更多有關我們的情況？沒打過。他有沒有給我們的供應廠商打過電話？還有我們的客戶？都沒有。Had he checked with his university to see if there were any graduates working at Mackay whom he could interview? Had he asked any friends to grill him in a mock interview? Did he go to the library to find newspaper clippingson us? 他可曾在就讀的大學里查問過有沒有校友在本公司就職，以便向他們了解一些情況?他可曾請朋友向他提問，對他進行模擬面試？可曾去圖書館查找過有關本公司的剪報？Did he write a letter beforehand to tell us about himself, what he was doing to prepare for the interview and why he39。d be right forthe job? Was he planning to follow upthe interview with another letter indicatinghis eagerness to join us? Would the letter be in our hands within 24 hours of the meeting, possibly even handdelivered?他事先有沒有寫封信來介紹自己，告訴我們自己為這次面試在做哪些準備，自己何以能勝任此項工作？面試之后他是否打算再寫一封信，表明自己加盟本公司的誠意？這封信會不會在面試后的24小時之內送到我們手上，也許甚至是親自送來？The answer to every question was the same: left me with only one other question: How well prepared would this person be if he were to call on a prospectivecustomer for us? I already knew the ：沒有。這樣我就只剩一個問題要問了：如果此人代表本公司去見可能成為我們客戶的人，他準備工作會做得怎樣？答案不言自明。Unit3 1)Despite the inadequate length of the airstrip in this emergency landing, the veteran pilot managed to stop the plane after taxiing for only a short ，飛機跑道不夠長，但經驗老道的飛行員還是讓飛機滑行了很短一段時間后就停了下來。2)Grilled by the reporters, the movie star eventually blurted(out)that she had undergone two plastic ，該影星還是說漏了嘴，承認自己做了兩次整容手術 3)We have the technology and our partner has the together, we’ll have the future in our ，我們合伙人有資金。一起干，我們就掌握了未來。4)4)If I had known beforehand that you would bring so many friends home, I would have made better see, I have barely enough food and drinks for a ，我會好好準備的，你看，我現(xiàn)在的食品和飲料連小吃一頓都不打夠。5)People gave generously upon learning that new school rooms with stronger structures were to be built in the earthquakestricken ，紛紛慷慨解囊Unit4 Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of not incidentally, both are Davos Men, members of the international business 233。lite who trek each year to the Swiss Alpine town for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, founded in week, Browder and Mandl will join more than 2,200 executives, politicians, academics, journalists, writers and a handful ofHollywood stars for five days of networking, parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from postelection Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos their considerable differences, most Davos Men and Women share at least one belief: that globalization, the unimpeded flows of capital, labor and technology across national borders, is both wele and see the world increasingly as one vast,interconnected marketplace in which corporations search for the most advantageous locations to buy, produce and sell their goods and ，他們都將國籍視為個人選擇，而不是由出生地決定的。而且，他倆都是達沃斯人，這可不是巧合。達沃斯人指的是那些每年長途跋涉去瑞士阿爾卑斯山區(qū)小城達沃斯參加世界經濟論壇——該論壇始于1971年——的國際商業(yè)精英們。本周，布勞德和曼德爾將同其他2200余名企業(yè)高管、政界人士、學者、記者、作家和少數(shù)幾位好萊塢明星一起，參加為時五天的交際活動、宴會和沒完沒了的認真的討論。討論話題林林總總，從大選后的伊拉克和非洲的艾滋病病毒到全球的石油供應和納米技術的重大意義。然而今年，或許比以往更甚的是，達沃斯論壇的一個熱門話題就是達沃斯本身。盡管與會男女各不相同，但他們大多數(shù)有一個共同信念：全球化，亦即資本、勞動力和技術不受阻礙地跨國界流動，是值得歡迎和不可阻擋的。在他們看來，世界越來越像一個巨大的互相聯(lián)系的市場。在這個市場里，企業(yè)尋求采購、生產及銷售產品和服務的最佳地點。三十年來，我一直研究我的人類同胞，但至今了解不多。每當有人跟我說他對一個人的第一次印象向來不錯的時候，我就聳聳肩。我想這種人不是無知，就是自大。拿我自己來說，我發(fā)現(xiàn)，認識一個人的時間越長，我就越感到困惑。UNIT 4 )Due to his pessimistic outlook on the European economy, John has moved his assets from Europe to ，所以把資產轉移到歐洲以外的其他地方2)Ilike hiring young are earnest learners and mitted to ，他們自愿學習，而且忠于職守3)Unlike her girl friends who center their lives on their children, Mary cares more about her personal ，更在個人成長4)Why is it that a considerable number of colleagues are at odds with you? 有一大批同事和你意見不和，這是怎么回事？5)The Chinese government has introduced a variety of policies to strengthen cooperation with developing countries 中國政府出臺了一系列政策以加強同發(fā)展中國家的合作第五單元For thirty years now I have been studying my do not know very much about shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always think they must have small insight or great my own part I find that the longer I know people the more they puzzle ，我一直研究我的人類同胞，但至今了解不多。每當有人跟我說他對一個人的第一次印象向來不錯的時候，我就聳聳肩。我想這種人不是無知，就是自大。拿我自己來說，我發(fā)現(xiàn)，認識一個人的時間越長，我就越感到困惑。These reflections have occurred to me because I read in this morning39。s paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died at was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many knew him very little, but he interested me because once he gave me a great I had heard the story from his own lips, I should never have believed that he was capable of such an was more startling because both in appearance and manner he suggested a very definite if ever was a man all of a was a tiny little fellow, not much more than five feet four in height, and very slender, with white hair, a red face much wrinkled, and blue suppose he was about sixty when I knew was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and ，是因為我在今天早上的報紙上看到愛德華?海德?伯頓在神戶去世的消息。他是個商人，在日本經商多年。我跟他并不熟，但是對他挺有興趣，因為有一次他讓我大吃一驚。要不是聽他親口講述這個故事，我根本不會相信他能做出這種事來。這件事之所以特別令人驚訝，是因為無論是外表還是風度，他都讓人想到一種非常明確的類型。要說真有表里如一的人的話，那就是此公了。他個子很小，身高不過5英尺4英寸，身材纖細，白頭發(fā)、藍眼睛，紅紅的臉上布滿皺紋。我估計自己認識他時，他大約有60歲光景。他向來衣著整潔素雅，合乎他的年齡和身份。Though his offices were in Kobe, Bu
