W: You've said you had an unusual rise to the top at Adobe. How so？
M: I was not an engineer. I didn't have a technical background. I had a funny east accent. Also Ididn't have an MBA, but I think what John Wamock and Chuck Geschke did appreciate in me was my willingness to experiment, to try new ideas in the market place in the ways that they might not have.
W: When you were named CEO, there was some anxiety about the new boss. How did you bring around Wall Street and the employees？
M: Wall Street was easier than the employees because of my relationship with the financial community. Between 1998 and 2000, I had been doing most of the presentations to analysts, though John was certainly present. I had been meeting with key investors and visiting customers and employees.
So when John and Chuck officially retired, Wall Street knew that I was already running the company in many ways. But I knew some of the employees had some anxiety about it. The critics were concerned that I didn't have John and Chuck's technical background. Who would drive the company's technical vision, considering that I wasn't a technologist and that Adobe had built its foundation on technological differentiation？
So at the first employee meeting I held as CEO, I made it very clear to the employees that I couldn't fill John and Chuck's shoes alone. I imagined a picture of myself in front of two very large shoes, and I told the employees that I would fill one shoe, but they had to fill the other one. I was counting on them.
W: How are you doing things differently from John and Chuck？
M: Adobe is going through a transformation. We are no longer a little company. We're a $1.2 billion company with a market cap of somewhere between $ 6 billion and $ 8 billion. And I think we can become a $ 5 billion company over the next several years. That requires a whole different way of doing business.
W: Any notable missteps along the way？ Any lessons from what has happened？
M: John told me, when he was handing over the title, that the CEO's job is very lonely. While you have the board to speak to, the board is also your boss, and you really don't have any peers within the company. I think I was too slow to reach out and engage with other CEOs to find a peer group to learn from. Over the past year and a half, I've joined a CEO group. We meet quarterly under non-disclosure agreement.
The other thing I would do differently is to confront the hard organizational and people issue quickly, especially around my executive staff. Because I was promoted from within, I was sometimes too “nice” at the beginning. I didn't want to disrupt the comfortable work environment, I allowed the present situation to persist longer than I should have. I knew that I needed to reorganize and eliminate those people who weren't right for the positions.
W: What's your advice to executives who are to take over as CEOs？
M: Be honest, open, and direct, and recognize that for every employee who might like what you are doing, there could be another who doesn't and you are not going to make everyone happy most important, make sure, if your ex-CEO is still going to be on the board, to have an agreement going in so that they are going to let you do the job.

听力原文： Imagine that someone in your neighbourhood broke the law, and the judge put the whole neighbourhood under suspicion. How fair will that be？ Well, it happens everyday to high schoolers. Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like thieves. Even though I'd never steal.
Store employees looked at me like I'm some kind of hardened criminal. For example, during one lunch period, my friend Denny and I went to the Graben Gore Restaurant to have a hot dog. We arrived to find a line of students waiting outside. A new sign in the window told the story."No More Than Two Students At A Time". After 15 minutes, we finally got in. But the store manager laid the evil eye on us. I asked him about the new sign, and he said, "You kids are stealing too much stuff. " You kids？ Too much stuff？ We were not only assumed to be thieves, but brilliant, greedy thieves. The most annoying thing though, is the way employees watched my friends and me. It's horrible.
Once, at a drug store, I was looking around and found a guy standing on a large box, stocking the shelves.He was watching my hands, more than he was watching his own. I showed him that my hands were empty. He got down off his box and rushed off, as if he was going to get the store manager. How crazy is that!

听力原文： As city residents, we all think that we know what the word "city" means, but do we really (32) ？ Here are some interesting facts.
In Britain, a town of any size can be called a city, if it has a cathedral. So London today includes the two cities of London and Westminster, because both parts have a cathedral (33) . But a small place in North Wales called St. Asaph has a population of fewer than 4,000 and yet because it has a cathedral it is also called a city. on the other hand, Birmingham was so large that it was specially made into a city, even though it did not have a cathedral (34) .
In the USA, "city" is simply a legal term, and it does not depend on the size or importance of the place. Confusingly, however, the US Census Bureau, an American government department that conducts official counts of the population, classifies any place with a population of over 2,500 as a city, no matter how far out in the countryside it is.
The world's most densely populated city is the area of Japan that includes Tokyo and Yokohama, which has an estimated 29,272,000 inhabitants (34) . But, in the future, it may well be replaced by a city in China or a city in India.
So, what is a city？ It all depends on where you live.
(33)
A．US census officials.
B．Government employees,
C．People who live in the city.
D．Lawyers who work for the Church.
